It's about as basic as you can get, but still a classic and it came with two mission packs. GTA (and GTA2) is available for free download on Rockstar's official website, as well as Steam (but you have to buy it as part of a collection there). Mission Packs Release: April 29 1999 [GTA: London 1969] June 1 1999 [GTA: London 1961] These two mission packs were the first expansions for Grand Theft Auto, and set about expanding the core gameplay and changing the main locale to London instead of the United States. Grand Theft Auto 2 [t]http://i.imgur.com/s7a3RIK.jpg[/t] Release: September 30, 1999 For the PC, PS1, Dreamcast and Gameboy Advance. It offered an improved version of the original GTA and allowed you to do work for seperate gangs. -- 3D Era Grand Theft Auto 3 [t]http://i.imgur.com/ECOf0kZ.jpg[/t] Release: October 22, 2001 Hailed the granddaddy of all open world 3D games, GTA3 was released for the PS2, Xbox and PC. The silent protagonist (revealed in later games to be Claude) is betrayed by his girlfriend in a robbery, and you set out to gain revenge on her through moving up in the crime ladder. It set the precedent for all the future 3D GTA games and was very amazing and controversial for its time, as well as establishing Liberty City (the first arguably well known city in the GTA series). It was rereleased later for the iOS and Android phones on its anniversary, as well as being available on the Playstation Network. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City [t]http://i.imgur.com/ftkmmle.jpg[/t] Release: October 29, 2002 Vice City was released for the PS2, PC and Xbox. It is set in the fictional Florida settlement of Vice City, and takes a lot of inspiration and flair from the 80s, as well as loosely following the Scarface theme for the story. Features a lot of rad music, colourful scenary and motherfucking helicopters, as well as introducing the first talking protagonist Tommy Vercetti. It was rereleased later for the iOS and Android on its anniversary, and is also available on the PSN. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas [t]http://i.imgur.com/EKTqTCa.jpg[/t] Release: October 26, 2004 Released on for the PS2, PC and Xbox, it is the largest GTA game to date in the 3D Era. It features a whole state, San Andreas, instead of just one city, with three cities loosely based off Los Angeles (Los Santos) and San Francisco (San Fierro) of California, and Las Vegas (Las Venturas) of Nevada. It is seen to be the most popular GTA game still today, as it bought a lot of new features to the table. The usefulness of these features (the rpg style elements primarily) is hotly debated amongst many fans. Also introduced Carl 'CJ' Johnson, make of him what you will. You can also swim in this one, finally. It is available on PSN and XBLM. Grand Theft Auto: Advance Release: October 25, 2004 Developed by an independant studio (Digital Eclipse) for the Game Boy Advance. Features a new main character called Mike who does criminal work in Liberty City. Considered by some to be the weakest link in the series. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories [t]http://i.imgur.com/JKpk4wC.jpg[/t] Release: October 24, 2005 For the PSP (and a year later on the PS2), this is a spinoff to GTA3 (set three years before) putting players in the shoes of capo Toni Cipriani, who rises through the Leone ranks in Liberty City and earns the trust of his boss Salvatore Leone. Now available on Android & iOS Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories [t]http://i.imgur.com/8bBy8it.jpg[/t] Release: October 31, 2006 Also for the PSP (and again ported to the PS2 only), this is the earliest canon GTA game in the 3D era and is set two years before Vice City, showing how dishonourably discharged army private Victor Vance rises through the criminal underworld in Vice City just to survive (and dealing with Lance.. fucking Lance). Features a lot of pastel coloured suits, more 80s music and the return of swimming. -- HD Era Grand Theft Auto IV [t]http://i.imgur.com/QwBOnx7.jpg[/t] Release: April 29, 2008 The most detailed game ever released in the series, Grand Theft Auto IV hit the shelves for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It details the journey of Niko Bellic, an immigrant fresh off the boat from Europe inspired to start a new life after reading his cousin's many letters about how awesome America is. However, once he gets there he finds out that Roman was just telling bullshit stories and is forced to work his way through the shady dealings of Liberty City to secure some money and deal with his past at the same time. This is set in a completely new universe (with references to the 3D era but no reappearances of the old characters) and features some really amazing physics and graphics, and keeps the overall classic GTA gameplay. Just be weary of getting persistent phone calls from all your friends. There's also the PC port, notorious in its ability to work in technologically impossible ways on every machine as well as being bundled with GFWL, but as of a few patches, GFWL has been removed completely and the game optimised. Episodic Content [t]http://i.imgur.com/dkyLGwk.jpg[/t] Release: 17 Feburary 2009 [TLAD] 29 October 2009 [TBOGT] The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony were released as two-parters to GTA4, part of a deal with Microsoft Games for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. It fixed up a lot of the criticisms with GTA4 and interweaved the three protagonists stories together (Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz and Luis Lopez) into an interesting and satisfying experience, also offering new weapons, cars and a whole bunch of stuff to do. TLAD also requires you to be confident of your sexuality. You can buy GTA4 + TLAD and BOGT in a complete bundle called 'Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City' in retail or on Steam. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars [t]http://i.imgur.com/cz0vYwS.jpg[/t] Release: 17 March 2009 Released for the Nintendo DS, and a few months later for the PSP and iOS, it is the second game (not counting the episodic content) to be released in the HD era and follows the story of Huang Lee through Liberty City. It received impressive reviews for a handheld game. Grand Theft Auto V [t]http://i.imgur.com/Rluz8MO.jpg[/t] Release: September 17th 2013 (PS3 and 360) November 18th 2014 (PS4 and Xbox One) April 13th and 15th 2015 (PC) The fifteenth game in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series tells the stories of three playable protagonists; Michael, a former robber and troubled family man who is now living the high life in Los Santos and unsatisfied with his life, Franklin, a gangbanger who represents Chamberlain Families is looking to get out of the hood and earn himself more cash than all the awful gang related errands he runs and Trevor, Michael's former partner-in-crime, living in Blaine County way out in the sticks. The stories of the three characters intertwine frequently and outside of missions the player can freely switch between them.[/quote] [URL="http://pastebin.com/PzWFxEyP"]Pastebin with thread for easy use for future threads.[/URL][U][U][/U][/U]

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;51081882]The shitty Lectro motorcycle is 750,000. Biggest rip off in the whole game.[/QUOTE] I was on about the Chopper style motorcycles only but yeah, that thing is bullshit.

I can't wait for them to spread out the update as much as possible, so I can get the bike I want after 4 weeks after the update was released. Only to be out-shadowed by a better bike next week

[QUOTE=Timezbrick;51082954]I can't wait for them to spread out the update as much as possible, so I can get the bike I want after 4 weeks after the update was released. Only to be out-shadowed by a better bike next week[/QUOTE] I'm personally waiting to see if the biker work is as much of a scam as the warehouse bullshit. It was really nice seeing Rockstar adding some new gameplay to freemode in the Finance & Felony update, until you realized that it was just a method to make people spend an absurd amount of money to give them the illusion of making lots of money later. Hopefully I'm wrong though and we get something that is both fun and profitable.

I think what's more annoying is that most of the time after some time of the update, they'll just discount the related items anyway Why not just have a launch event instead

This is years old now, but does anyone remember that video that parodied all of the ridiculous analysis videos of the first GTAV announcement trailer? I remember it said things like "cars confirmed" in plain text and every time a black guy appeared, the video would stutter and flash "CJ CONFIRMED". It was called something like "GTAV TRAILER SO DETAILED ANAL YSIS" but I can't find it

Started playing San Andreas on PS4. Can't find any drug dealers anywhere so I can kill them and buy the Flat top during the Ryder mission. RIP.

Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed that to date, my longest-lasting contributions to Facepunch are a thread series mocking TF2 traders, and that recruitment image in the OP. Well, that and sucking up all the boxes in a six mile radius every time I start a sentence with "hey, wouldn't it be cool if" :v:

[QUOTE=Timezbrick;51084049]This? [video=youtube;auYIAM4wgLE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auYIAM4wgLE[/video][/QUOTE] No there was no narration (although Dunkey is great) I'm starting to get worried that the video got removed, but if I ever have the time I'm going to go through the old GTA threads when the first trailer released because I know for a fact that someone posted it in there. It's just that it's a matter of scrolling through like 2000 pages because it was probably the most hyped FP has ever been

There's still people out there that think CJ is hidden somewhere or that he'll make an appearance at some point.

Is it worth snagging GTAV on pc for $40 right now? I don't know if I want to bother seeing as you can't transfer characters anymore afaik (ps4 player ere).

I heard if you wait until exactly 4:20 AM you can see CJ's face on the moon

[QUOTE=Zadrave;51089820]I heard if you wait until exactly 4:20 AM you can see CJ's face on the moon[/QUOTE] You can only catch this phenomenon when riding a bike near a train.

I don't know if I want to bother seeing as you can't transfer characters anymore afaik (ps4 player ere).[/QUOTE] Probably won't go on sale for less until Christmas, but tbh you're not missing much, you still get updates and DLC. Crew stuff can be fun but there's not a lot of it left.

Do you guys think that they will let us mod the Elegy?

No, because the elegy is free and free means you don't buy shark cards.

[QUOTE=benzinxrm;51090518]No, because the elegy is free and free means you don't buy shark cards.[/QUOTE] But it'd be like 600k to turn it into a modded car.

I made a video about GTA DLC you guys might like [media]https://youtu.be/Cl-N3IYE1s8[/media]

The Hydra is the living proof that adding unlimited explosive rounds to something only makes it worse for the people who don't have it.

They really need to disable passive mode when you're in a jet. I've noticed that people often turn it on once they have a homing rocket or missile on their tail, and it's cheap as fuck.

Passive mode is disabled if you're flying any aircraft, isn't it? Is the message that pops up whenever I get in my vestra or cargobob lying to me?

certain aircraft have it disabled, like the fancy helicopters on a yacht, but you can go into passive in pretty much any vehicle.

Is GTA V online still popular? My PS3 died so I havn't played it for awhile but I've been playing the games in order on PC (I'm up to Vice City right now) and I might pick it up along with GTA IV next time there's a sale. [editline]23rd September 2016[/editline] On a similar note, is GTA IV online still popular/functional? I remember fucking around with the swingset for hours on online. [editline]23rd September 2016[/editline] Oh hey GTA IV and V are on sale, looks like I'm picking them up after all.

I sent a request to join the crew. I need some people to play with.

[QUOTE=Boaraes;51093605]I sent a request to join the crew. I need some people to play with.[/QUOTE] Invited.

-snip- now that I think about it, that doesn't make a lot of sense.
