I pirated the game, and I'm proud of it.
Finished 2 times.

Sem sombra de dúvidas é um jogo que ultrapassa gerações. É incrível ver o que a rockstar já conseguia fazer em 2004, com um extenso mundo aberto pra epoca, uma incrível história, um monte de coisas para fazer, e a grande comunidade de mods. Todos esses elementos fazem com esse jogo se tornasse um grande clássico

People who hate this game are nobody but edgelords

Jogo atemporal, trilha sonora impecável, história marcante, personagens icônicos e toda a imersão de poder fazer o que quer! Simplesmente, um clássico!

Um dos jogos que mais tenho hora de gameplay. Conhecia o mapa de ponta a ponta. Adorava ter uma vida comum. Fingia que tinha emprego, casa, carro... E fazia uma vida dentro do jogo.
Melhor rádio de todos os jogos "K-Rose" escuto as músicas até hoje.

Eu tiro meio ponto porque, honestamente, toda a parte de invasão da área 51 e o envolvimento militar e o governo, é muito extrapolado. Eu gosto do exagero, mas aqui acho que não ficou do meu agrado. Começa com uma história e guerra de gangues pra uma mega conspiração. E as missões do nerdão de San Fierro são muito chatas. Algumas missões bugam também. Enfim, ainda é uma lenda.

Parabéns também à comunidade que faz RP. Conheço um EXCELENTE servidor que tem mil e uma funcionalidades e acesso gratuito também. Tem VIP também, mas mesmo de graça é um servidor muito recheado.


Marcou a minha infáncia mas não o acho perfeito.

Um game aonde você controla CJ, um ex membro de gangue que agora tem que voltar para cidade natal pelo o falecimento de sua mãe e por conta disso voltou para sua gangue natal onde encontra Big Smoke, Ryder, e Sweet e lá eles tentam fazer a Grove Street Families e enquanto isso o CJ tenta conquistar o respeito da gangue e o resto é historia.

Esse game sem duvidas de sombras me marcou e marcou muita gente também mas certas missões me deram no pé como aquela do avião de brinquedo e do treino de avião, mas tirando isso o game ainda continua bem atual e interresante de jogar, uma pena que tirou a versão original da Steam e colocaram o Remake que é horrível. 9/10

Insanely good game, can't believe it was 2 years after Vice City. Radio was better in Vice City, and some missions were exceptionally hard.

Um dos melhores jogos já feitos, que infelizmente, teve um péssimo port para pc. Ainda assim, é possível corrigir a maioria dos problemas com os mods feitos pela comunidade. Meu muito obrigado a comunidade que conseguiu transformar essa versão, na versão definitiva desse jogo.

many years of my life were spent growing up and playing this game on a xbox with a shoddy controller. will never forget this game

Nunca finalizei ele...só gostava de pegar o carro conversivel e ficar dirigindo sem rumo e ouvindo radio kk

Ah shit, here we go again. Worst place in the world, Rolling Heights Ballas country. I ain't represented Grove Street in 5 years, but the Ballas won't give a shit.

I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about with this game, it's good but there are better GTA's than this one.

I know you blind but you gotta check this shit out....

GTA San Andreas is the magnum opus of the GTA 3D trilogy. This game was so ambitious and I sure had a blast playing this from beginning to end. I told myself I would at least try to beat the trilogy without cheats and glitches and I gotta say sometimes I can't believe this game fit on a DVD disc with how much content this game throws at you. The story is probably my favorite out of the Trilogy Games. Missions are fair and managed to beat them the first time apart from ZERO. (DAMN YOU ZERO). Memorable Characters from Woozie, Big Smoke, The Truth etc. I admire where it takes CJ story wise in his miscellaneous adventures through the state that is San Andreas. I played this with the Definitive Project Mod installed (HD Textures, 60 FPS etc.) and I did not have any issues or errors for the game. It was smooth as butter which says alot due to how much stuff can be thrown into the game itself! If you are wondering if you should give this game a try again. I would say absolutely! This game will make you go "Ahh shit here we go again"

I think there’s something to be said about how this game handles It’s open world, while your typical “open world” game consists of a large, barren map that’s there for you to walk from A to B on and occasionally be met with a fetch quest, cancerous collectibles or a “pick your poison” deal from towers and etc, and It’s all there to bloat up the game’s length (see Dying Light’s 2 500 hour ad) meanwhile side activities In SA are widely varied and exist to service the game’s world and help Immerse you Into It, ranging from pimping, Lowrider bouncing, racing, burglary, to gambling, pool, dancing, basketball, shitty arcade games, and gang territory. It’s really fun and helps give a sense of realness to the game’s world. The game also reacts to what you wear although It’s mainly In regards to other gangs or regular NPC’s praising/making fun of you, and you can respond either negatively or positively.

All this aside another thing I am fond of Is the mission variety In this game, for a game with a 100 missions It’s hard to say It ever gets mundane with missions going from drive-by’s to bombing planes from the inside or stealing advanced technology from a military base, my only qualm Is Rockstar’s typical aversion to non-linear ways of solving missions, you either follow their Instructions to a T or you risk quickly failing a mission, shit’s lame. As for the story, the main plot Is okay, where the writing really shines Is the characters, as they’re all unique and hysterical like Woozie, Truth, Toreno and more, even characters with 30 second screen-time end up memorable like Tony the Parrot.

This was weirdly Grand Theft Auto acting at its most experimental, where it's pretty janky and almost just barely functional - but then there's just so much to do in this game, stuff like getting a haircut, changing clothes, having characters that were vaguely customisable was really revolutionary for its time - and it definitely plays a lot more with set-pieces than any of its previous entries.

Although, it's also an interesting contrast to Vice City - where its much more murkier, and mainly lacking in the glamourous excesses of the 1980s - instead where everything is set during the early 1990s instead, essentially in a slum neighbourhood. Its primary influences come from films such as Boyz n the Hood (1991), Menace II Society (1993), and strangely enough with the movie Boulevard Nights (1979) - especially with the presentation of the cholo gangs, and the portions involving the car hydraulics which bounce up and down.

I'm not sure if I prefer this more to Vice City or not. I like the atmosphere of Vice City more but I also like the gameplay and interactivity of this one more than Vice City. But then this game is also really good with just how its surprisingly emotional, but also there's a deeply embedded absurdity with the whole thing - especially with the voice acting, and the strange compassion that's drawn towards characters who are mainly comic cariactures - and it's also a genuinely funny game.

Absolutely worth playing.

Pique CJ, chego na Grove Street
Já dei save, falo com o mano Sweet
Aperto tanto bolinha que 'tô com tendinite
Ir lá com as vadias, esperando que eu buzine

Bih-bih, tchu-tchu-ca, cola na caranga
Já mandei o hesoyam, respeito levanta
Onde os Grove' chega os bala' não alcança
'Tô curtindo a minha praia, eu faço minha dança

Pra cima, pra cima, pra baixo e pro lado
Ativo o código da minha pica no teu rabo
Denise, Michelle e Katie 'tão de quatro
Triple cappuccino, café quente no quarto

Se os tiro' 'tão vindo, os bala' 'tão no carro
Com BMX fujo do meu parto
Já meti o pinote, dou save no quarto
Vai levar sacote, com polícia não tem pacto

What a mindblowing experience in 2004. Best game I've ever played.

Take it, hold it, love it...

A obra prima da rockstar e não tem discussão.
"Aaahhh mas é gta 5 e rdr2?" San andreas já fazia tudo que esses jogos só vieram a fazer anos depois, é perfeito!
Discorda = leigo.

Overall - 5/5 I would say that this is the best GTA game I've ever played, even though I played GTA 4 & 5, and yes they are awesome as well, but this one is just the definition of "PERFECT".

Story - 5/5 A journey presented by rockstar games as always, imo better story than gta 4 & 5, it is balanced so well, it gives u a feel of completion, adventure and nostalgia with the patented gta humour.

Graphics - 4.5/5 It is diverse, design wise unique and feels balanced, but the character graphics quality is a bit rough, games released on the same era had somewhat better graphics in some instances, but small details wise GTASA defeats them all.

Mechanics - 4.5/5 It does everything quite well, some things are a little hard to get used to, but the combat, driving, boating, flying all of them are enjoyable, the open world feels realistic and living, police chases are great as well.

CJ - "Ah shit! Here we go again..."

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Definately a legendary game of the grand size, tho personally not my favorite (that honor goes to VC, VCS, 4 and TBOGT), I enjoyed it quite a lot. I also like all the story beats about drugs and what the hood really means (Sweet can't see the big picture, I agree with CJ on that argument they had)

I'd give this a 4.5 but goddamn this was full of so many shitty flying missions, ugh, the way they made the Flight School mandatory when they could easily cook those tutorials into missions is just dumb, I absolutely hated all the flying missions here and did anything I could to make em easier or use fuckery at my disposal without downright hacking or cheating. What they thought was innovative is just plain up poorly designed, imagine making such mindnumbingly bad game design that it actually demotivates the player from playing for a while...that's Flight School, by Vertical Bird, CJ being sick of this shit couldn't resonate with me more....

But to end this on a positive note, I love how enthusiastic CJ is about the heist, feels like he wanted to something like that his whole life, he's in his element and I'm happy for him. I also love Woozie and his friendship with Carl, it's quite fun and wholesome and it feels very natural, to the point it feels like not even Woozie and CJ themselves expected to get this close. He feels like a closer homie than Cesar, at least to me lol. I also quite enjoyed Catalina's phone calls, have fun with that in 2001, Claude!

One of the most iconic,imporant and impressive games i ever played,this is one of the most important games for my culture,really is the most important,sure you have your cs 1.6,pes 6 and other gta games,but none compare to the sheer amount of legacy and fandom this game gets,also i played with a mod that recreated the ps2 version on pc

Gameplay 8,75-9/10
is weird to talk about gameplay on a game like gta cause it has a lot of parts to it,like the game kinda has it all and most of it does pretty great,sure is not as good as gta 4 but it still extremely impressive especially for the time,good shoting,driving,movement,etc

Graphics/Aesthetics 8,5/10
a time capsule ,it captures well like a early 90s feel without feeling to old and i like the orangy color pallete the game has

Missions 7,5-8/10
The levels themselves,or missions,are i think an improvement over vice city or other open world game of his era but it still has its problems with a lot of mid missions and some outright horrible ones,even though now you get more great ones and more amazing ones

Map 10/10
since it is a open world game,instead of level design i will be talking about its map and the use of it.its flawless,you have everything on this map,three vastly different cities that each feels really big,a big ass forest a desert and a lot of towns and since technically the map isnt that big,even though it feels massive,it doesnt have a lot of unused useless space,is pretty tight,especially comparing this to gta 5 map that divides in two parts the city and the rest.

side content/replayability 8,5/10
even though most of the side content are like feathers from assasins credd,with the graffitis,horshoes,etc you still have a lot of fun side stuff to do and sure you will not get a new game by replaying it it still if fun

Ending 8/10
solid,a satifying end and it leaves a sweet taste

Soundtrack/Sound effects 10/10
one of the best soundtracks in gaming,the feeling of the vastly amount of quantity and quality those radio give me is hard to replicate,especially radio x,radio los santos and kdst

Radio tier list:https://tiermaker.com/list/music/gta-san-andreas-radio-stations-60330/3427350

Story/Writing/Characters/Lore 8,75/10
one word,charisma,like ryder for example is just so one of a kind and funny,smoke is wise and also funny,sweet is loyal and likeable and so on,these characters really gave the game a lot of heart even when the game had pace issues or the storyline just got kinda boring,also i like the way they introduced los santos and the amount of characters and lore it was introduced,and just a likeable and funny game in general

Character tier list:https://tiermaker.com/list/video-games/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-characters-62663/3426661

overall,one of the most important games for my culture and with reason,fucking great
10/10

San Andreas may not fully resolve every single little issue I had with 3 and Vice City but rather instead more than makes up for those shortcomings by creating an immersive experience with a scale so ambitious and insane that not only am I in disbelief of this thing being originally made for the PS2, I'm still in awe of it playing for the first time nearly two decades after its original release in a modern era of video games with sequels and competitors that have long since succeeded it. I'm not even sure Rockstar themselves could ever fully recreate an experience like San Andreas, with a level of understanding on how to make the player feel like they've gone on this massive journey with these gradual curveballs both in story intermixed with gameplay in how they progress and discover every new element of the map, the places and objectives that missions take you on, and the characters that you still learn to care about as much as CJ does on the wild ride he's thrown out on. Where 3 and Vice City were concerned about creating a sandbox that players could just drive and shoot stuff in for whatever weird violent sprees the player wanted to go on, San Andreas is concerned about making you want to better CJ as a character including lifestyle elements and minigames that, as simple and jank as they can be, give crucial variety and spice that was desperately needed.

I think even more importantly for me, and what makes San Andreas still stand out to this day among Rockstar's catalog, is just how innocent it is. There may be some of Rockstar's trademark cynicism and satire without a doubt, but it doesn't plague the game beyond a small smattering of surface level side character personalities and radio humor. Gone is the run down dreariness of 3's Liberty City or the pop culture referential appeal of Vice City's 80s excess and all the commentary found within both, and instead is a world and story where the characters are treated with genuine attention and time, and with a level of self-respect even towards clearly insane out there characters like goofy weed jesus Truth or the conspiratorial clearly making shit up Toreno. It felt like Rockstar would be winking at the player knowing that yeah, the insane batshit stuff you will eventually get up to in these missions is clearly nuts and silly, but without then rolling their eyes and going "wow isn't this cuh-RA-zy" like how I remember GTA V eventually becoming. San Andreas wants you to be immersed within its world, and it truly believes in the player coming along for a ride that they're meant to be having fun on even when things get serious. For the number of times where I would irritated with some stinky missions or the still occasional crapshoot AI behavior and spawning, there would be hours of just even quietly enjoying myself riding through the country-side listening to radio stations that were clearly custom tailored to that location and tone before riding out into the next city beyond for the next mission as the sun was setting and the dust clouds rolled in as I crossed that bridge into the desert. And for a game almost 20 years old now, it still remains unparalleled in that memorable experience.

(I just also wish that Rockstar would have done a better job of preserving the original PS2 experience, and not just because of Definitive Edition's unfaithful visuals and bugs; the original PC port is frankly hot garbage and is more needlessly fiddly to mod than it really should be. I don't have the greatest guide on hand to fix the ports issues, but bare minimum downgrade the game's version and try to install SilentPatch and SkyGfx to fix bugs and restore the PS2 visuals, then keep the game locked to 30FPS because important scripts and physics were tied to the framerate. I also wish I didn't have to eventually give up and enable cheats right at the very end of the game to finish the territory stuff because the game kept crashing and making me lose hours of progress right before I was able to do the final mission. I'm sure emulating the PS2 version is an option, but it also feels like a lame copout with its own issues. Someday I'll try DE for real to see how it fares these days, but take this as a small cautionary warning if you're on PC.)

It's a classic and you already know that


Flying cars and impossible havoc ; that was back when Grand Theft Auto could somewhat survive being a white boy's fantasy. Not anymore.

only gta i've played
i have gta4, just don't feel like it yet

i liked flying limos into helicopters

Nada supera pegar uma moto, botar na radio dst e dirigir para Las Venturas curtindo a viagem enquanto se passeia por aquele pequeno porém rico mundo
