    Yes GTA is the best video game series (ever).

    Master of Orion 3 shot that series in the foot (and its all been downhill since 1 anyway). And since Civ will always be second to MoO ...

    ... that leaves GTA.

            GTA is the greatest series in its genre.
            It isn't the greatest series though, as evidenced by Thief.
            I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                But then don't you have to specify which GTA is the best for the GTA genre?

                  Number A) You should shoot yourself in the foot for having not played it

                  Number Be: You should shoot your computer for the suggestion that it could possibly even compare to the best series. It might be in the top 50 but its close yet oh so far from being in the top 10.


                  Umm... isn't it alone in its own genre


                  The only unique thing about GTA is that you can wander around all you want, other than that its just another action title.

                    GK2 is almost universally acknowledged as one of the finest, most immersive adventure games of all time.

                    Btw in a sidenote, aren't there only 2 BG games?

                      Well, it was the only game I got my GF to play, Not that the adventure format is suited to co-op.

                        GTA vs TOAW??

                        Or to make it a closer comparison, GTA vs Baldurs Gate??? GTA vs Simcity??
                        You can't really compare those games... comparing GTA to Civ is like comparing a glass (for drinking) to a mirror...


                        But GTA is among the best action games ever... but Vice city was bad... London was even worse...
                        This space is empty... or is it?

                            Civ 2, Fantastic Worlds, MGE, ToT.

                            (Quite a series)

                            I think that when Baldur's Gate was mentioned, the reference to a series (well, apart from the 2 games and an expansion each), was also referring to the other games using the same engine, which would include Kotor.

                              A. Well first I want to see if GTA is good enough simply as a game to reprioritize. Im currently just getting into Panzer General 2. Ive never played Gabriel Knight. Etc, etc. GTA isnt first gaming priority, by any means.
                              B. Im just trying to get feedback on something someone else (who shall go nameless) said on another thread. He said GTA was best series in last ten years. When i called him a fanboy, he challenged me to name a better series. Given that Ive never played GTA, i thought id try the opinions of those who have.

                                RPG/Action/driving game??????

                                Really, id like to know what to compare it to.
                                Im sure comparing it to civ is silly, (see above post for why i did that) but could one compare it to say, Baldurs Gate? so i could get an idea of how it compares in openendness, missions/quests, well crafted world, etc?
