I disagree. I hated every GTA game ever released until they finally put out something worth an ass, in GTAIV.

Basically, they did away with all the ridiculous videogame parodies inherent to the series, and crafted a rather excellent and interesting crime drama, with a more realistic gameplay environment.

This reminds of of people who think RE4 was a worse game than RE3, or that Batman 2 was better than The Dark Knight, when in reality, those later releases were vastly superior.

You prefer a game that just isn't as good, and future iterations are never going to seem as good as you remember, because the developers for those games aren't fans of resting on their laurels. Sure there are some failures, but the greatest failure of all, is more of the same.

These are the same people who flame Zelda and Mario for keeping it traditional, yet flame Final Fantasy and GTA for changing the formula.

You want GTA:San Andreas? Go play that game.

I agree with the list but I can also understand Rockstar's realistic approach. I just hope they can mix R.A.G.E. with the things that made SA a great game

It's a series named after stealing cars, because any car you see, you can hop into, and immediately run over hundreds of cops and prostitutes and get away with it. It was never meant to be a realistic crime drama. Luckily they developed Chinatown Wars to appease me so I didn't have to destroy their families.

Of Course GTA SA was better. It was 10 time better and I seriously don't know why Rockstar decided to take out %80 of the fun. But hey they made alot of money so I guess Rockstar is happy.

San Andreas is my all time favourite Gta game. That game deserved a 10 / 10. I loved everything from the story to the audio and even the rpg elements.

I spent hours upon hours just dicking around and doing random things for fun in San Andreas. I've never done that in GTA4 (which I'm replaying now) thanks to Rockstar's shark-jumping ways. Still a decent game though.

Yep thats what make GTA:SA so fun. I hope next GTA will be set in Tokyo or any Asian city.

So why was China Town wars a better game than GTA4?

Yeah... when... well i suppose if a this speed another GTA comes out i'm sure they'll add in most that other stuff since they can recycle a lot of the resources.

I mean... GTA4 was ridiculiously expensive right?  Take 2 didn't even make a profit on the year....

Think if they would of added all that other stuff in.  No other explination, right?

because DS games are cheaper and give more time and leeway for testing and not having to rush stuff?  I don't know.  Haven't played it.
