@@BryceCzirr-jz7ju There is so much more to do in SA than gta 5 for the single player. All the GTA's outside of San andreas gets boring after completing them real fast
@@seanleaf3165 What's wrong that someone have another favorite GTA game instead of SA? GTA 4 have best story, best protagonist, best physics and best details.
that’s facts but you do gotta admit the jump from everything you can do and all the details in gta 4 to gta 5 is crazy in terms of customization of your character in cars GTA five is great in terms of just all out detail and like funny stuff on the radio and the things that NPC’s will do GTA four is one of the best
Niko Bellic is the most dangerous Rockstar protagonist ever created. His quiet personality is cold and intimidating very similar to Jason Statham in Transporter movies. His sense of humor is also sarcastic and cold.
San Andreas still is the most versatile game of the franchise to this day. They could just bring back everything you could do in that game to GTA 6 with a great story with modern graphics and it would be perfect.
It's number 2 for me. GTA 4 is infinitely better but even though 4 lacked cinematic missions, it was better than shooting identical NPCs in San Andreas
Not watched the vid but here’s mine: GTA 1 GTA London GTA 2 GTA 3 GTA Liberty City Stories GTA Vice City Stories GTA Chinatown wars GTA Vice City Here’s where it gets controversial: 3. GTA V 2. GTA San Andreas 1. GTA IV
GTA IV is incredible. Still remember the wedding mission and feeling so many emotions after it. I’m hoping GTA VI is darker than V, although V will always hold a special place in my heart.
GTA V can be the most fun to play, but the OG's know GTA IV is a piece of art with a story at the level of the godfather. For me is the Godfather of videogames.
@@Wertyber Ur absolutely correct about that but if you've played the entire GTA IV + TLAD + TBOGT you'd know the entire story is absolutely phenomenal and the game has more fun activities
Gta 5 had far more development time than the others in a technological better time but it is definetly not better than gta 4 or San Andreas, both of which had better stories and more gameplay elements than gta 5.
Nah. 5 is generic and a total step down from San Andreas. Awful and under fleshed out protagonists. GTA 4 has amazing physics, perfect story/protagonist and is an overall tight game with the most immersive and realized city in GTA. Take a cab in LC during the night and look out the back window. It's incredible. It's tied with San Andreas as the best. These are just facts.
San Andreas is the best GTA no questions asked. When that game came out it was so ahead of its time. The story mode was a masterpiece. Now lets see if GTA 6 can become #1 🤔
I’m sorry. But IV as a whole (with both DLCs) is the best one. And Niko is the greatest Rockstar protagonist (not including John Maston and Arthur Morgan).
The storyline alone in GTA V was mediocre, but the graphics and gameplay were fun. As for GTA IV, the social commentary, storyline, attention to detail, DLC stories, even the music was outstanding.
Niko is literally a piece of art created by Rockstar. The depth in which his character was written is insane. Especially for a 2008 game it's right up there if not the greatest character ever created in the history of video games
San Andreas is the best GTA game... what GTA 5 lacks: Hours of relaxing Taxi missions, Vigilante missions where you get to play COP, body building, concept of eating made it more immersive, gang wars territory, dating where you actually had to put in efforts for different ladies and it had a progression in itself. Which is why GTA 5 can never be better than SAN andrenas it could have been though.
Can never put GTA 5 at the top of my list as it had - an emptier city than GTA 4 - radio not even remotely comparable to VC or SA - again close to 0 enter-able buildings despite being a big city Hope all these issues will be addressed in GTA 6, at least the city looks much more alive.
Gta 4 San andreas Gta v Gta vice city My top 4, gta 4 was truelly epic 😎 👌 way ahead of its time and a truelly enjoyable experiences, from the unique fighting, car physics and even the online experience was well worth it..

It warms my hear that 4 is getting so much love in the comments.. for me gta online is the ultimate gta experience.. but as far as single player stories gta 4 is the best for me
Gta 4 had the darkest and deepest story , and an extremely amazing one at that. But it didn't have that gta feel , and at the time was an exrremely big downgrade from san andreas. They took out so many features , there was less variety of clothes , and that didn't have anything to do witg realism , it just wasn't there. The game was soooo fun to cruise around but at the same time it got boring quickly esp when uou couldn't even cystomize your car compared the previous game and the competitor saints row 2 , gta 4 was just a game with an extremely beautiful amazing story. But not a GTA game as per say apart from going on a few activities and being able to have a shootout.

GTA Chinatown wars was released after GTA IV, not during the “popularity surge of the PS2 3D era”. It takes place in the HD universe.
Niko Bellic would make John Wick look like a amateur.
Saying that the story in GTA 5 is better than 4 is just objectively wrong. Most wouldn't agree I'm sure.

GTA San Andreas - Best gameplay
GTA 4 - Best story
GTA 5 - Best graphics

Not really
San andreas is better than 5.
GTA online does not count as an individual game shouldn't even be on the list at all. It is literally GTA v online
We would love to see a gta game that had a 3d version of gta 1,and on the ps1 making an important comeback in gaming history
