I started playing the remaster of San Andreas since they updated the lighting. I am really having fun with it. It is so much more fun than I remember it being.
Vice city felt like a reskin of GTA3 but San Andreas really feels like a new game.
I do not have much else to say about this really, but I just needed to sing its praises.
I wanted to try the remaster but the state in was in at the time was less than impressive. Luckily I bought the original. So I modded it to have the old soundtrack plus some basic QoL fixes. Solid agree, last time I tried it on steam it was rubbish. This time, straight into the nostalgia zone. The music, the gameplay, the voice actors and super quotable dialogue.
Even if the mission I’m on is one of the less interesting ones, just cruising between waypoints listening to the solid soundtrack or hilarious talkback radio. Good shit.
I can still hear Toreno’s voice in my head. “Communism in Ohio. People sharing. Nobody buying stuff. That kinda bullshit!”
I have an eye on the upcoming game Keep Driving, been thinking I’ll put on the Vice City or San Andreas soundtracks while playing it.
