Favorite GTA Game?

[geauxburns]

GTA Fans,

What is your favorite GTA game(s) of all time and what console(s) did you play on?

Starting all the way back to 1997 with the original Top-Down Grand Theft Auto (PS1), GTA 2, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars as well as Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

I liked the story in gta IV
I like GTA V for the graphics and video editor in the PC version.
But I love the old school 2d gta for the nostalgia.

San Andreas will always be in my heart, there are so many things that make this game fun, and story was pretty damn good!

Same with me, that game just innovated so much over every other GTA that came out previously ^^

For me the best GTA was Vice city. Enjoyed the setting and story. Thinking back on the first GTA was great too

GTA 5, just for the fact I've had so many great times with friends in that game

Enjoy reading everyone's responses, and if I had to pick I'd probably go with GTA V/Online; with each new game Rockstar has continued to raise the bar, and the latest entry into the franchise is built on the knowledge, experience, trail and error of all the previous titles. Been playing GTA V since it came out on Xbox 360 back in September 2013 as well as GTA Online a month later, and currently play on both the XB1 and PS4.

My favorite GTA from the 3D Universe is Vice City; loved the 80's setting, the ability to buy property, fly helicopters, run around with a katana, and it was the first time the main character was voiced by an actor, and in this case you can't go wrong with Ray Liotta.

The original top-down Grand Theft Auto that came out on PS1 back in 1997 will always have a special place in my heart; was in high school at the time, and still remember hanging out at friends houses almost every weekend taking turns seeing how long we could last as well as how must destruction we'd carry out before being killed, good times.

And you can't forget the cheats for GTA 3. If you didn't use the codes for that game you weren't living

The cheats for GTA III, VC, SA were awesome, but I liked how easy it was to use cheats via your cell in GTA IV instead of button mashing. lol

Thanks again everyone for chiming in with your fav GTA games; while I already talked about GTA V/Online, Vice City, and the original Grand Theft Auto, I'd like to discuss what I liked about some of the other games in the franchise.

GTA III: Back when I was still playing Grand Theft Auto and GTA2, there were a lot of great 3D titles out during the mid to late 90s like Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and other IPs that successfully made the jump from 2D and Top-Down. Didn't take much imagination to envision what a 3D GTA world might look like, and in 2001 Rockstar made that a reality with GTA III which is the game that really launched the franchise. Claude might have been the strong-silent type, but you really did feel for the guy; he got screwed around a lot in that game.

GTA SA: Compared to GTA III and VC, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was massive. Now we could not only fly around in helicopters, but in planes and jets too. Plus, for the first time we had the ability to swim without instantly drowning; though it was all in vain when you swam across the river from the island Los Santos was on to Las Venturas, before unlocking it, only to get a maxed out Wanted Level which was a death sentence. More clothing options, hair styles, keeping CJ in shape, three major cities, and turf wars were just a few features that made GTA SA revolutionary.

GTA IV: The first time I saw the trailer it blew me away how beautiful the HD Universe version of Liberty City was going to look compared to it's 3D counterpart. While the story was more gritty than previous installments, and there were times where I wanted Roman to swim with the pixel fishes for getting Niko into trouble as well as always wanting to go bowling (even though I love bowling in real life); Grand Theft Auto IV paved the way for Rockstar to take the GTA series to the next level. GTA IV MP was also a lot of fun, and while I love GTA Online; there are some elements that I wish R* would have included or might eventually add to GTAO.

I feel the same way! When I first played that game, it felt like a giant upgrade over everything else they had on the market ^^

GTA V, especially the online, is the most fun. GTA IV has a better story but the color palette is depressing. GTA Vice City had one of the more interesting storylines and is the only one I played in full using a mobile device.
GTA 3 was fun trying to get the dodo, and using a mix of the flying cars cheat and a tank to get across the blown up bridges was a hoot.

 

[Zeiyon]

Favorite would be Vice City, and GTA V is not that good, it just isnt imo.
