Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

the need to make this for purchase again.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas took the foundation established by GTA III and Vice City and expanded it in almost every direction. Released in 2004, it combined a large open world with character customization, RPG-style progression, gang warfare, vehicles, side activities, and a lengthy story spanning three major cities. The game follows Carl "CJ" Johnson, who returns to Los Santos after learning that his mother has been killed. CJ had previously left the city for Liberty City, but returning home reunites him with his brother Sweet, sister Kendl, and childhood friends Big Smoke and Ryder. CJ quickly discovers that Grove Street Families has lost much of its former influence. Rival gangs have taken territory, drugs have damaged the neighborhood, and corrupt police officers led by Frank Tenpenny immediately begin manipulating him. The early Los Santos chapters are some of the strongest parts of the game. Rebuilding Grove Street, taking territory, and spending time with CJ's friends gives the story a personal foundation before it expands into something much larger. CJ is an effective protagonist because his motivations change naturally throughout the story. He begins primarily conce…

Since this port is borderline unplayable without mods rockstar made the right call to put it down, for sure in the future someone would ve sued them or valve for allowing a broken product to be sold as a working game due to consumer rights, and I m sure there is no one left at rockstar with the knowledge of the old engine used on this game, so they made the safe choice, it s been more than 20 years, you had time to buy it. This doesn t excuse the terrible remaster they released with no legacy options, even though I absolutely hate rockstar and their business practices, and I think that they have a fanbase that s way too loyal, I can t give this game anything under a 10/10 for the amazing memories I had as a kid playing this, It s one of the first games I ever played and that s why I bought a key worth 90$ for it on a 3rd party website, people buy it nowdays just for nostalgia so rockstar didn t have a good reason to keep it on.

Completed as of writing this review: Base Game w/ some optional things (Don't mind the small "time played", since I've played this game enough outside of Steam). P.S. The review was shortened to accommodate Steam's character limit. The uncut review is in my blog if you're interested. After all these years of playing this game since my childhood - this is still the best GTA in the whole series! Yes, I’m going in bold, and not because of nostalgia. There are A LOT of reasons of why I want to tell you why but I don’t even know where to start. There was a year gap between this game’s development and Vice City, and it really shows! Pretty much everything, every aspect, has been improved: Open World, Mission Variety, Gameplay features, Activities, Customization, the list goes on and on… The only thing that I think was hard to beat was definitely the radio, since Vice City has set the bar too high. Still though I think [b]San Andreas[/b] is just perfect!.. Maybe too perfect but I’ll get into that later. The most obvious change is probably [b]the tone[/b]. Usually before this game (or even after, sometimes), the main character would be alone but with a direction of where to go. Whi…
