In hindsight, Vice City may of actually been better than San Andreas

[BrothaZay]

The atmosphere
The blood on the screen
The Haitian-Cuban war
Vice city is the only time where I actually been SHOOK to drive thru a hood on GTA(them haitians )

The music fit so perfectly

Vice City did a better job at absorbing you into the time/world/city and you really felt like it was the 80s. I enjoyed it more; as deep as San Andreas was, Vice City really made you feel like you were living Miami Vice and Scarface all at once. San Andreas got close to the Menace/boyz lifestyle but Vice City was on another level.

Yea I think this is what I meant.
While San Andreas had alottt of shyt to do. When I played vice city I literally felt like I was living in 1984 miami. shyt is crazy, I never seen a game capture a atmosphere like vice city did.

I got a question tho, since San Andreas had a black character, do you think it would have been as succesful if they didnt add all those other options to the game. Ex: Tattoos, dying ur hair, jetpacks etc...
In a way I feel like they only added that shyt because the character was black and they knew these closet racist wouldnt really fucc wit the game for long unless they added 100 orther things to it.
Its a reason we havent seen any of that shyt back in other gta games, jus sayin

I really don't think that would've made a difference if they hadn't...being a 1990's gangbanger is "cool" in its own right. Its not like racist guys were playing the game out of spite. Playing as an O-dog or Kain, Eazy-E or Doughboy type charactor is pop-culture cool and was its own draw to people of all race in america.

Nobody bought the game because they could get tatted and die their hair and stuff. It was because you got to live in the game like an NWA music video.

Vice city played out like a movie better, but San Andreas felt alot more complete with what you can do.

True that. I guess you're right, considered thats how those fakkits got me to buy that wack ass saints row 2, by playing a Eazy E song on the commercial

For me it was the slowmotion scene shots when you'd jump off of big buildings or stairs in a motorcycle or lamborghini.

I used to time it just right the music...hop in the Lambo, and hit the jump RIGHT when the music was like "MOTORRINNN!!! WHATS YOUR PRICE FOR FLIIIIGGGHTT!??" on that Night ranger swag

 

[Rain]

That whole Vice City soundtrack. Only GTA where I listened to every station

 

[kingdarius]

nah its san andreas breh....cant pick playing scarface over playing menace II society/Boyz n the hood, plus a nicca would take a copter up the highest it could go over a ocean and just jump from that bytch like

 

[MidniteJay]

Don't know why the game got Haitian's mad...

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I remember those Haitians straight pulling me out of the Car and kicking my ass but in III it was a Huge Threat to be in The Hood for The Italians because they had Shotguns and if your Car wasn't The Bulletproof Patriot, 3 Shots and you were fukked.

Vercettie was a Better Character than CJ though, I wasn't really feeling the whole Gangbang Lifestyle like I thought I would. Plus I didn't like the Graphics for San Andreas as much as I did for 3, for some reason 3's Graphics were Piff to me.
