Did we really put up with GTA when it sucked like this?

Gamesradar writes:

"They say you should never go back. But in GTA's case it's surprising how well the old adventures have aged. GTA III, for example, doesn't look half bad, and can occasionally outshine even the more recent San Andreas in the visual department. Especially when compared to the flat, cardboard desert outside of Las Venturas.

But how in the hell did we put up with all the ways it sucked? We're talking GTA's many glaring or recurring flaws that, because the rest of the game was so ruddy awesome, we chose not to notice. The little niggles, the gameplay flaws. Did we really put up with Grand Theft Auto when it sucked like this...?"

1 - It was like......
4 years ago, a lot has changed since then. For the time, it was, and to some extent is still revolutionary.

I agree. GTA3 was epic when I first played it ans Vice City was even better. Dispite what they said about previous games, they all rocked big time and I'm going to play Vice City again until Tuesday just to see how much of a leap GTA4 is compared to it.

2.2 - well that`s you....
to me, GTA:SA was by far the most impressive of the three on ps2.

-The Size.
-Rolling w/ a "Gang" thru the streets.
-The RPG elements.

5 - Sucked?
It's quite unfair and illogical to compare a last generation game to a current generation. GTA never sucked back on the PS2, I enjoyed all of them finishing GTAIII and Vice City. San Andreas was a bit long so never got around to finishing that, however one would have to consider the leaps and bounds one would have made with this current generation of consoles simply because of the technological advances. It's like comparing the graphics from Metal Gear Solid 1 to Metal Gear Solid 4. Surely the latter visuals are great but when MG1 had arrived back in the 90's, the graphics were seen as superb and the gameplay revolutionary. Perhaps we can compare the evolution of the games but certainly not how the previous last gen games are inferior.

I find the article with its videos very enjoyable!!!these flashbacks were very interesting!i think they create this article with love to GTA series...I dont think they use empathy...They said that the prievious GTA games were great but they said with evidence that they had some problems,that doesnt affect the true fun of the whole game!! Believe me,im a big GTA FAN exactly as you!!!
