Saint's Row 2 was great but 3 and 4 are hot garbage 2 is also the only one with more than like one good song per game GTA soundtracks are much better

precision posted:edit: ^^^^ Well it has some of the worst/most boring missions in any GTA to date so there's that. Also has some of the best though and can't deny how awesome just flying around looking at poo poo is tho  precision posted:Saint's Row 2 was great but 3 and 4 are hot garbage Not , 3 and 4 are great because they take the open world concept and remove all the seriousness and then break the genre by adding mod-like controls to it.And if you can't enjoy singing along to "Opposites Attract" with Pierce then

GTA soundtracks used to be bitching when they actually took the time and effort to create music for their games so you didn't get ridiculous poo poo like Back in the New York Groove playing when New York doesn't exist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi6x3MCjBaQ They used to make really cool stuff for the GTA games like Live Action intros or whatever, now they don't bother.

i enjoyed SR 3 and 4 but i wish there were also more games like 2 where it was still funny but not always super over the top. 2 was semi-realistic enough to make the crazy scenes way more memorable

Saints Row 2 had a really touching scene where you put your homeboy out of his misery, while you were dressed as a giant hotdog. Also this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivd7J28Cu38

I can understand why they saw the reaction to the goofy bits of SR2 and think "yeah people want an entire game of that, right?", but it just didn't click with me. The thing I loved most about SR2 was that the city felt a lot more varied than suburbs-downtown-projects, and had cool things like the cave system and Old Stilwater.

GTA just feels really boring to me because games like Saints Row, Red Dead, Sleeping Dogs, and Just Cause have improved on the sandbox formula and are a lot more fun.

It's me, I'm the guy who plays GTA games for the story and doesn't gently caress around with the sandbox stuff at all. At least not since San Andreas anyway.

Anything after GTA 3 just feels like playing GTA 3 again. It was good at the time, but I don't want to play it anymore. Somebody make a retro GTA clone that isn't poo poo like that Retro Rampage game or whatever it's called.

I think what turned me off GTA is that no-one seems to be enjoying themselves in those games, you can't really take any satisfaction when the characters are going through lovely lives complaining all the time. I guess that's only really borne out by 4 but man is it borne out

I am stuck on a family mission. It's towards the end too, bunched with some good missions. God I hate Michael's family. I'd rather deal with Niko's scatter shot story.

I have a new computer, give me games that look nice on PC. Already tried Crysis, Sleeping Dogs, Arkham Origins, and Just Cause 2. e: the three dudes thing in GTA5 is rad because they're all fairly different and it's about as long as a regular GTA game, so if you don't like one protagonist but dig the other two, good for you, they get 2/3 of the screen time and you can free roam as them.

Am i crazy If you're going to try nothing else in those games, at least play the heist missions, the three controlled people element adds a fair bit there. All of them are pretty cool and the concept as a whole is the freshest thing the series has added in a long time.

All of them are pretty cool and the concept as a whole is the freshest thing the series has added in a long time. Counter-point: All the heist missions except the first one are actually pretty standard GTA missions and the only thing switching characters adds is occasionally shooting people from a slightly different location and/or with a different gun. That first heist mission sets a bar where you expect a lot more events (I hired a cheap guy, he unexpectedly dropped the money bag during the escape, but I was able to grab it!) to happen but then all the others just play out as normal missions that wouldn't have been much different with just a single character.

There is a Final Fantasy Tactics looking game on steam called Rime Berta that has terrible anime art but still looks like it could be fun. Has anyone who likes SRPGs taken the plunge on it?

Stux posted:its amazing how bad and wrong this post is, because gta v has a really amazing soundtrack, probably one of the best ever, because they pick good songs from many different genres for the radio If they spent the money they did on licensing music from other sources and paid a band, or a couple of bands to record entirely original music for GTA it would be amazing. gently caress, there are bands out there who would work for peanuts for the opportunity to be featured in a multi-million selling game like GTA. I do kind of take issue with the use of licensed musics in games like that, since for a lot of music people tend to have an emotional investment with it, so to hear it in a game is vicariously imparting the feelings you'd associate with that music with the game itself. GTA4's soundtrack was praised, probably much higher than the game itself should have been if we're being truthful, possibly for those reasons. Plus the GTA games go out of their way to make it clear that they exist in an entirely different world from the one we're in (New York doesn't exist, it's Liberty City etc.) yet there's little stupid things that make you go "Oh, right, this carefully constructed world isn't as entirely carefully constructed as they would like you to believe". Back in the New York Groove playing when New York doesn't really exist, for example. If they just had original music tailored to the world and the universe they've decided to create it would go a long way to distracting people from the man behind the curtain pulling all the levers.
