[Gojo_on_pills]

Who is here after GTA VI trailer launch 😅

[divyeshkareliya]

San Andreas is my all time favourite and will always be ❤❤❤ I am 31 right now. I played it first when I was 17 years old. I play it now sometimes in my phone. After 60 when I retire I will ensure I atleast play the full game once. ❤️❤️❤️

I started playing the series with gta3. Though i was a kid, I understood it was just a game and my parents were cool enough to buy me the games as they came out. 3, vice city, San Andreas and gta 4. By the time 5 came out I was old enough to get it on my own for once as an adult. Every game is amazing and holds a dear spot in my heart. Truly revolutionary games.

Oh yeah this is awesome! Well done flatlife, and keep making videos.
This stuff is entertaining when it comes to you.

1:15 fun fact: while race and chase is still in development, there was a bug that made the cops become very psychotic where the psychotic cops give an inspiration to the creation of the gta series

[joellopez]

Great video Great content I love GTA like many I grew up playing these games I've played all of them I've played since I was a kid I'm a month shy from turning 34 and still play Gta, thanks for the memory lane really brought tears to my eyes, thanks again

[sankalp]

I only played Vice City ... And that is legendary ❤

[naggi]

Gta: San Andreas
Was my childhood, i remember playing it when i was 5

Also: In gta v every character has their representative colours.
Franklin : Green
Micheal : Blue
Trevor : Orange
And the controller light bar will light one of those colours, for example The PS4 controller lightbar will change to the one of the representative colours from the characters.

i like that you dont add nonsense of info and you are not annoying as a commentator like others that drag videos for the sake of 10 minute mark. very well made video keep up buddy

Rockstar has always been known to outdo themselves with their game series, most notably Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto, which means they kind of have to implement features similar to Red Dead Redemption 2 plus a little bit more, I think a lot of the features in RDR2 would be fantastic in a potential GTA VI. Interacting with strangers on the street to learn of opportunities, house robberies or burglaries, a more detailed wanted system, like the cops not forgetting who you are immediately after losing your wanted level and maybe some steps you have to do to become anonymous again, and of course extreme attention to detail, a more interactive world, a fantastic story with great characters and improved physics. If we get all these things I will be completely fine with how long it’s taking them to release a new major GTA game.

I watched this 5 times and I loved it, thank you @Flatlife!

[accountuser]

The first GTA I played was in, 2006 when I was 10, San Andreas. Until I did research, I had no idea games like Vice City and Liberty City existed.

[A.D]

We can confirm every GTA game was a masterpiece .let’s hope they don’t screw it up for gta 6

[kevinbarbeau]

Damn, I have been watching your videos since the start. It’s crazy how much subscribers you gained in such a small amount of time. Good job man

[audiophileroy]

i love how he talks about "better" graphics in gta trilogy and doesn't talk bout the "details"

[BestMKDSEmblemMaker]
