There is no way SA is more immersive than V. That's just ludicrous. You're mistaking nostalgia for immersive.
Anyways I downloaded the directx 2.0 mod, and wow. It's almost like V. however, there's some glitches, slight blurs around cj if you whip the camera too fast around him, and also the tip of the guns have a weird glitch, but other than that, its fukking pretty (when it rains ) and making the game way more tolerable than when I tried to play it on my old PS3 back in the day
I also added a mod to give me GPS.
Do you need a specific version of the game to run that? I been holding off forever to download and mod that shyt but after watching them videos, I'm ready to leap in.
