      GTA 3 has a silent protagonist and most of the dialogue takes place in mission cutscenes. It’s a very simplistic game in comparison to GTA 4.

      If you’re after a grounded experience with characters that feel real, then yes it paid off.

        There were also two full GTA games between GTA III and IV. Vice City and San Andreas both built on the successes of the previous games and built out the universe of characters and locations. I’d be curious to see the script lengths for those, too, but the differences might not be that dramatic.

              Yeah with graphics quality somewhere between PS1 and PS2 and smaller maps, but decently fleshed out stories nonetheless. I believe all or at least most of them were designed for PSP. I did Liberty City stories, it was fun for the time 🤷‍♂️

                They were at San Andreas level of graphics really (exept maybe animations).

                And while the story in LCS is pretty lackluster, at least the game was still fun and introduced online multiplayer.
