>and you'll still have to keep the vehicle alive for the 5 minutes of actual mission once you've driven there and reached the true starting point

it has some annoying missions that take you across the other half of the map. it gets tiring. i may be biased but i like that. it makes the whole map a place where shit might go down. My favourite missions are the missions before san fiero with catalina, where you get to see the gta 3 dude. CJ carries this from the beginning to the end. He is an utter goofball and the game isnt afraid to show it either.

[Anonymous No.10990116]

one of my favourite moments in san andreas is the drive from the weed field burning mission to san fierro
the van defaults to K-DST and listening to young turks by rod stewart while slowly going from the countryside to the city is one of my core memories
the reason san fierro itself is boring might be because it has no style, specifically no radio station to go with it; you have nigga rap in los santos, coutry shit in the countryside and las vegas goes well with rock stations, but wtf goes with san fierro?
the story also takes a strange turn at that point, all the car shit kinda makes sense since the vato friend already introduced it in los santos, but the blind chink mafia thing and the nerd feud is a bit out of left field.
a surprising amount of mission are skippable here - you don't need to buy the nerd store and I think you only need to do the driving license, not the car missions, meaning you can get to the next city relatively quickly

Its not so bad, I like most of the San Fierro missions but it definitely outstays its welcome, you have to do way too many there before you're allowed to move on. Its also home to the absolute worst mission in the game Supply Lines.

Easily think this is the best GTA game its weird to me seeing everyone shit on it these days.

You are suppose to feel in exile.. You guys know the SA story is rehashed true life shit right? You were big time gang banger.. took half the city... niw you live in gay ass SF..

I've never progressed the story in a GTA game. I always just ran around stealing cars and running people over.

[Anonymous No.10990398]

>>10989942

I think this is a major flaw that's present in almost every GTA game. The first 25% of a GTA game usually has really interesting and fun missions that also progress the main story but then when you reach a new city or island, those missions are put on the back burner and you're introduced to le funny unpredictable psychopaths and their missions are nowhere near as engaging as the earlier ones. This goes on for a while until you suddenly realize you're in the final 10% of the game and they bring back characters from the beginning of the game and everything wraps up way too fast.

[Anonymous No.10990402]

i stopped playing once you got to the vegas area. gta 3 was great but these games just got worse after that. complete and utter normie slop. core gameplay gets worse as the game gets more bloated with meaningless shit tier content.

The missions in San Fierro feel like Rockstar really trying to justify putting in the work to make SF a location. Just pure filler. SA probably would have been better if they cut one of the cities to focus on the other two.

For me IV is the all time peak in gta, I really liked the setting, the character and basically everything around it (apart from WFL and bugginess).
My first real long term relationship's breakup was around then when I got it around 2010 and basically sank a bit more 100 hours into it in a week.
But yeah the atmosphere were basically killing it and it was way less forced edgy shit like the 5

tbf doing the gang wars early on lets you prep for the rest of the game (getting enough money and buying the LS properties for endgame, training up gun skills, etc)
a lot of the combat in the countryside and beyond will be much easier if you've used gang wars to grind out skill levels for the common guns, for instance
