MAKE YOUR CASE: A Thread for Defending an Individual PS2 Game

why san andreas over gta3 or vice city? well, it's just better, but i guess that isn't as self-evident as i thought.

haha. i def need to replay the ps2 gtas (gta IV is aight but not special in the way u mention i think). ill admit that the smaller scale and more modest ambitions of vice city make it more approachable/playable for me ~ the possibilities were big enuff to be thrilling w/o being so wide as to be intimidating.

canks: GTA4 is absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful, but there is just less to do in the city and the mission design is a lot less interesting than SA's.

i'm thinking of writing one of these up for mercenaries but i don't know if it's really worth it tbh

This thread is making me sad I got rid of my ps2 and my ps3 isn't backwards-compatible. What happened to my ps2, anyway? I can't even remember.

gta iv: 'ballad of gay tony' feels closest to gta: sa to me at least as far as story/characters.

it's like the lightbulb went off when they were making SA: if we make all these places and cars and weapons, we should have the plot incorporate going to all of them and using all of them. i swear 65% of IV is, "drive six blocks, watch cutscene, shoot 6 guys, get $400".

"IT'S A LIVING!"

The online play in GTA IV is so underrated.

It's such a drag that no one ever plays the Lost and the Damned multiplayer mode called Chopper vs. Chopper, because it is THE BEST.

it's basically Road Rash, right?

No. One of you is in an attack helicopter, and the other is on a motorcycle. The helicopter is supposed to kill the guy on the motorcycle as quickly as possible, and you take turns. Whoever gets the most kills within a set period of time wins.

Getting murdered via helicopter blades is very common.

It is sooooo awesome.

something s1ocki said about goodfellas once - talking about the scene where sorvino slices garlic with a razor blade, he simply says 'there's nothing else like that.'

yeah yeah

actually tried replaying GTASA earlier this year - as in starting from the beginning and playing through the game - its still a very entertaining game, but... yeah, a bit dated now. big post up there probably has some rose colored glasses goin on

yeah there's no support for 3D televisions for example

i mean, nobody else even WANTS to make a game where you can fly a jetpack, murder cops with a dildo, get into dofgights 2 thousand feet above the ground while listening to wreckx-n-effect, decide between a caesar and a fade - let alone TRIES.
