Gamers Say Original GTA Gameplay Outshines Its Graphics
A post shares a 1997 clip and argues the original gameplay outshone its pixelated look.
TLDR
Jon Shaivitz posted a video of the first Grand Theft Auto on X. He wrote that younger generations miss how much fun the game was despite its appearance and stated gameplay beats graphics every time. Visible replies include fond mentions of GTA2 lobby queues via AOL messenger and the London sequel loading screen. Other users called the original experience borderline unplayable or said it sucked, while one reply called the era the greatest time to be alive.
