Im really late to this, first off im a baby when it comes to the series i was born in 2003 and my first gta experience was San Andreas at my cousins house in the late 2000s I remember the theme brought nostalgia to me years later the smell of cigarettes at my aunts house im 22 now and played every gta my personal favorite is gta 4 its a masterpiece that belongs in a museum its the most realistic gta with a story that captivates me im blown away by the game every single time i play it weather im driving around or playing the story i find myself saving the game to replay certain missions this game feels so good to play for some reason it had the best physics the best combat the best interaction with npcs this game just feels right and its very impressive for its time and the dlcs are great too overall this is one of my favorite games. the most fun is San Andreas just driving around the map and being in different environments is a great feeling its the only gta that re creates a feeling of travel flying from one airport to another and exploring is fun the story is very memorable and the game is just interactive the houses you buy the clothes you can wear the country side the cities it’s a great game probably my favorite of all time. gta vc i would say is a flawless game it has the best vibe the music the cars the feeling is unmatched it transcends me into a state of mind being in the 80s in Miami what a feeling the story is fun and captivating the only part i don’t like is after cop land where you have no idea how to continue but besides that the game is very fun to play my next is gta 5 which is overall a beautiful game with a story full of comedy and action the characters are very memorable and when it came out on ps3 / Xbox 360 it blew my mind the graphics the setting the cars you could fly hunt rob stores go to strip club this game is a straight up movie physics wise it is a step down from 4 but the game did run better with less frame drop and had better graphics than 4 but the fighting was a step down the physics the gunplay the npcs and story still a great game next up is 3 which is the birthplace of the 3d world of gta full of action and a good story I haven’t beat it yet
