I seriously hope GTA V is a beefed up version of San Andreas.

I think thats the opinion of the majority of people, so hopefully it will be the case

After selling GTA 4 when I completed it and the OH moaning that I spent too long pinging people about the airport with a hele, I have just bought it again but the complete edition with all the extra content. Can't wait for 5, really hoping its similar to SA.

Kill Playboy X. You get nothing but some money if you kill Dwayne, Playboy X disappears so he doesn't even become someone on your phone.

I downloaded the original GTA last night just for fun, was good! smile

I am looking forward to the new GTA, i really enjoyed GTA 4. I also enjoyed the extended content called Ballad of Gay Tony. The Lost and Damned wasn't very good imo.

TLATD is ok, some epic gunfights which are a laugh with your backup called in.

BOGT is a lot more fun, more shagging which makes it fun.

I actually preferred the character in BOGT over Niko in GTA4

I think Rockstar got GTA4 wrong, Louis (from TBOGT) should have been he main character/story, myh more "GTA" with the humor and general ridiculousness.

Still love GTA4, TLAD was quality too, loved it!

I started playing with GTA2, and then throughthe series, 3 and Vice City are quality, never got on with SA...

Agreed, the 'normal' GTA4 was a bit of a disappointment, looked at lot better than the previous ones of course, but in terms of 'stuff to do' and fun exciting gameplay it was a step back.

TBOGT was much better, Littlebird attack on a big boat, oh yes. Skydive to boat to car races, oh yes, Shooting up the Police in a APC until they give up, oh yes.

Nico was all about driving around some annoying Jersey Shore reject until you kidnap her and driving taxis.

I thought TLAD felt like a cobbled together add on tbh.

The only GTA I havent enjoyed was GTA2.

Everyone remembers their first time when they nicked a cossie smile

Ive Completed the main storylines of them all too, and still own all the discs and consoles to play them on.

I got a bit bored with TLATD and havent started TBOTG as I was given Saints row3 and found it was way less serious feeling than GTA4 and got stuck in.

I will get back into TLATD and finish that.

VC was such an 80's fest and Im much like everyone else, whenever the songs come on the radio at work I'm right back there in the game. SA was massive and I still find time to pop it in the console and nick the jetpack again for a jolly about!

Games that made my youth GTA was certainly a massive influence. Along with the likes of Doom, Duke Nukem, Road Rash, Max payne (one of the only times I've wanted a flash pc) all that rubbish about violent games havent done me any harm!

I really hated Saints Row 3, all flash and no substance.

I mean, what's the point of a sniper rifle, if the everything at long rang disapears the moment you look at it, or a A-10 or Helicopter gunships you have to be cliping the roof of small buildings in before any NPC's at ground level spawn.

not had that issue with the sniper rifle, and I quite like dropping down nice and low before delivering instant death via the hele mounted missiles smile

But your right, certainly not VC, flashy and arrogant but a bit of mindless fun none the less

I felt like it was a Xbox game that had been converted to PS platform in a rush.

I don't dislike silly games, and shooting up the 'gang site' things with a helicopter is fun, I just got so frustrated that the range of the weapons was far longer than the range of the game. I'd end up so low I'd be hitting buildings, then the gang would appear out of thin air, I'd gain a few meters of altitude and they'd all disapear again and I'd have to start over.
