I’ll say right away that I’m not old about this game and didn’t play it as a child. I played and completed GTA:SA normally only 2 years ago (I’m 17 now), so I’m talking about the game without any nostalgia.
The legendary GTA:SA, my first GTA part that I played. Before I personally played through it, I didn’t understand at all why the GTA series is so popular and why GTA:SA is so idolized, and after finishing the game I still don’t understand it. The game is cool, no doubt about it, I was really impressed by it after finishing it, great plot, driving, activities, etc., at the time the game was the largest (with the exception of the graphics, which at the time of release was already wildly outdated by 5 years), but Nowadays the game is completely outdated and there are more developed 4th and 5th parts, why is the game still relevant and someone even calls it the best game in history? 2 reasons: 1) Owners of a weak PC, 2) People for whom the game is nostalgic. I have nothing against people for whom this game is nostalgic, I’m not at all a hater of old games and those who play them (sometimes I don’t mind getting into classic doom), but people who consider the game the best in the world, this is already strange.
The game is undoubtedly cool and worth playing through.
