one funny thing about this video is that it was originally going to be a collab with @drmodgta also usually with these videos, i go on the gta forums but unfortunately it seems like all posts on that site from 2002-2004 got wiped. this is most definitely going to be the last community reaction until gta 6 which ill probably do in 2034 or something.

3:59 "I'm expecting destructable buildings" over 20 years on and comments are still the same lol

Its fun how some things change, yet others stay the same.

I can’t wait to see “how the community reacted to GTA VI” in 15 years

I feel "before gta 6 jokes" would be remembered like this when the next gta releases

It's always the damn train CJ.

Nice one man! 👍 Such a shame most the old posts to do with this were removed. 😢

For those who don't know

The guy who's holding pistol and on the red lowrider car, is Cesar. Not CJ

Kinda cool to be able to see what a hype leading up to  a game looked like for us who were too young, i was 4 when this came out

0:10 but a bigger majority would say gta 4 for its gark and diddy ambience

6:02 how did you make french sound finnish lmfao

Still the best GTA game for me❤ Nearly perfect

i remember that 1 week delay felt like so long when i was a kid. also crazy SA only had 1 trailer and the reveal was just 5 months before launch. its so weird seeing internet comments from over 20 years ago that sound like they could have been written today. i know that wasn't that long ago in the grand scheme, it just feels like so much has changed since then.

Man the hype was monumental for this game in 2004, I read every PlayStation magazine with an article about it and talk about all these new features and how it was going to be an entire state just seemed insane. You absolutely had to pre-order the game too to actually guarantee a copy, I remember they increased the price from 39 to 49 euro cos Rockstar new it was going to sell gang busters but also the first time to see price hikes for really popular games.

san andreas was ahead of its time

We need a GTA6 train mission with the failure cutscene that is basically the same as big smole saying "All we had to do was follow the damn train [the male main character]"

i love the fact that this guy puts so much effort into his videos and still manages to keep a stable upload schedule

4:00 is a reference to a real life event called "the san andres quake" where a rift opened from san francisco to california, bringing a ton of earthquakes that even got to México

You went full HowToBasic with Mindseye lol

So, fun fact: Ryders model is not definitely inspired by Eazy-E. While they obviously look very similar, his voice actor MC Eiht also rocked that same look in the 90s.
