    'Remember, Respect Everything' Probably be an iconic quote of the whole Gta franchise if gta2 popular.... Its just memerizing to hear and represents gta as a whole

      Yeah, like in many ways its so creative since it isnt limited by the realms of reality, but just by the developer imagination. GTA 1 and 2 had a more arcade feel to it, and in MP mode they are almost as comparable as Doom wads. I always though GTA 3 was insanely overrated. It was impressive for the time, but GTA 2 played hundreds of times better
      I still wish we got a game similar to those but with polished controls.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    What I find weird, is despite the arcady nature, and the game's weird, outwordly aesthetics, GTA2 has a fully fledged out lore of its world. You can get a lot of information of its world, products, the gangs, even the weapons just by listening to the Radio. There's actually an ad for one of the guns, in the game, S-UZI, which I find a great touch, especially for 1999.
    I'm not sure if any other game did such a unique method of world building before GTA2.
    Also, the radio stations have a lot of bangers, one of the musics would fit perfectly into Cyberpunk 2077's OST.

      @k_kubes 5 місяців тому +6

      The last time i remember where respect was used as a game mechanic was in GTA and Bully, in GTA SA you could only gain respect with one faction (Grove Street Families) so it wasn't like GTA 2, Bully, on the other hand, was way more similar to GTA 2 since you could earn respect between various groups and doing missions or other specific tasks would either gain or lose respect with a certain gang

    Its great to see GTA2 getting love. I think GTA2 is the most fun GTA game all around, thetr is only one boring quest in the entire game: get zikizaki the rest of them are all good. Also the kill frenzies + collectables + the power ups and wang cars givea you a lot of options to play however you like

    The best mechanic in GTA2? And the best mechanic in ANY GTA game I have ever played?
    Modifying cars. I can't tell you how much I loved putting guns and spitting oil with the cars. I always thought they would re-visit this mechanic in the future.
    Imagine being able to strap guns and armor etc to cars in future GTA games...
    The gang mechanic to be able to take goons with you is indeed the 2nd best mechanic I have ever seen in a GTA game.

    And that's why GTA 2 outmatches all other GTA games ! You had lives to complete the game meaning if you die too much : Game over. Are you gonna surrender to cops rather than dying and losing a life ? Are you going to do that mission ? What about if you get killed ? Should I save my progress or should I restart the whole district ? Maybe being a taxi driver isn't that bad to progress ?
    Respect is everything ! Without forgeting the famous Jesus Saves but saving coasts money, because you know salvation has a price ! ;)
