What Made GTA 2 So Great?

Grand Theft Auto 2 featured a revolutionary and never before seen mechanic surrounding the 7 gangs of Anywhere City. The Respect Meter serves as a core gameplay element, and is always displayed on the HUD, as you can directly change the way certain gangs in the district you're in view you, and that allows you to play around with the order you want to complete the missions in. Today we're discussing why the Respect Meter is a great feature and why it should make a return in a future Rockstar Game.

It's very interesting to see GTA genetics change throughout the course of original 2D and 3D games, keeping old elements while adding new features. And I still think that GTA 2 is the most underappreciated and less known GTA game and probably the craziest and most unique, I hope it gets some sort of reimagining one day, probably not by Rockstar but some dedicated fans.

And while respect system is awesome, I think it's not necessary in GTA3 for story reasons. The mood of the game is more about inevitability than choosing your path in criminal underworld so the lack of real choice works thematically well.

if rockstar going to implement respect mechanics from gta 2 to 3d or hd universe they're going to follow a similar path like FNV, would love to see it because seeing factions without intense political goal or being equally evil would be much more fun tbh

Great video Gta 2 is in my top 5 of favorite Gta games out there.
There is another game on Steam which is pretty good called Glitchpunk a spiritual successor to Gta 2 which I really recommend

The sad parts about gta 2 is being forgotten, old, tragic fate of the protagonist and lack of narrative depth

GTA 2 is my childhood and favorite 2d games of all time

You won't here this from most people, but I would actually like to see a HD Universe Adaptation of Anywhere City someday. I think it should also be the only GTA Map not based on a real life location. Giving Rockstar Games full creative control over the map design.

I consider this game to still be the best GTA.

[AlexCantTalk]

great video brother! keep up the good work!

[CalebGilchrist]

Could you do a video on the most underrated GTA game of all time GTA Advance Please it’s great to see someone speaking about the Underrated 2D GTA Games

[twinberwolves]

Interesting... the respect system was definitely a common thing in Rockstar's earlier games.

Respect is everything.
Rockstar knows this since they've had loyalist ditch them over GTAVI and GTA+.

[obviousalexc]

I'd honestly love to revisit anywhere city. Maybe they could use it to explain some of the futuristic stuff.

1:30, that glitch is only available on the PS2 version of the game. on PC, the infamous plane flying over the ocean glitch corrupts only corrupts some areas in the game, but it screws over the zone terminators.

[humanharddrive]

dude i love gta 2, you should play in night mode though.

[ashtonoak]

Bring back the line of Elvis impersonators, missed opportunity not to put them in Las Venturas in San andres

[thickt]

The score number really making dizzy seeing them pop just like that

[chris-zdsr]

I feel like this style was intentional for the power of the ps1 and to make it slightly less controversial than what happened when it movrd to 3d
