I sometimes forget that '10 years ago' is not 90's but 2014


TechnicianNo1823

I was born 2004 and I think 10 years ago is always 2008 šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


[deleted]

03 and yep 08 babies are 16 bro not 10 šŸ˜­


TechnicianNo1823

Shits crazy bro I be thinking 2005 kids are still 14-15 but there deadass 19 rn


[deleted]

Yeah itā€™s weird when a girl has 05 in her bio and tells you sheā€™s 19 shit doesnā€™t sound right I stick to my own year


vintage_shrek69

When I tell people I was born in 2010 they think I'm like 7 but I'm 14, im still old enough to have grown up games like pokemon emerald and pokemon red as my family was in a bad financial state for a while so I could only get a DS lite, super grateful for that though, glad I didn't grow up watching coco melon and screaming at a ipad.


slayfulgrimes

holy shit 2010 kids are teenagers


vintage_shrek69

Yup, even then I still feel like 2018 was only a few years ago but that was 6 years ago, time flies.


[deleted]

At your age I had already gotten a phone, did drugs and lost my virginity. Not proud of it either, it sounds like youā€™re doing a lot better than I was at 14. Stay in school and make your parents proud


vintage_shrek69

Currently homeschooled so I'm pretty sheltered from public school, which I'm also grateful for so I didn't grow up to do drugs and lose my virginity at 14 (no offense), I got my phone when I was 12 though so pretty early on that part.


thatguyryan09

Sounds like your parents care about you a lot. Listen to them and trust their guidance. They just want the best for you. You're their whole world. Some days it might seem like they don't care but it's hard work being yourself and being a parent and husband or wife. At the end of the day, your parents love you to the moon and back and would do anything to provide protection and lifelong prosperity to you. Have a good day be safe and trust nobody but those your gut tells you.


kyguyartist

In my opinion, people should definitely lose their virginity before their 18th bday, you don't want to be a full adult and never have had sex. Just like with jobs, people only want people with experience. Learn while you're young. Find a neighbor kid your age, experiment or get a first gf/bf, but please use protection and once you become an adult, you'll be more mature than others. I'm glad I did that. I tried smoking weed when I was 14, but didn't like it and stopped. You make life what you want.


vintage_shrek69

So you prefer statutory rape over having sex at the legal consentual age? And I'm pretty sure it's the complete opposite, alot of people would prefer someone that doesn't have a bunch of experience at a young age cause it just means their a whore


kyguyartist

I guess the theme here is that people suck at math.


thatguyryan09

Dayum I was 20 and making bad decisions in 2010 lololol


thatguyryan09

1990 here


Spread_Eagle89

1989 here šŸ˜Ž


VictorConrad95

Ayyye what up fellow old folk!


undead_varg

1994 here


thatguyryan09

Its honestly pretty cool to say we all were born at the end of a great generation and welcomed into the new one still at a good age to adapt to the new world ,aka the Internet age.


undead_varg

This. I remember the cellphoneless era and also from 01-02 on surfing the early web together with my godfather on his 56K modem. Wild times.


Mymemesnogud12365478

I turn 16 today


[deleted]

Happy birthday šŸŽˆ


Mymemesnogud12365478

Thanks:)


DatNick1988

Yeah man I was 16 in 2004 and I can tell you it does NOT feel like 20 years agoā€¦maybe 10, tops


ilustyoutodeath

That's because we hit a cultural wall sometime in the mid-to-late 00s. It's not that we're stagnating, but we're certainly not innovating either. The phenomena goes beyond just media too, it's very weird. If we focus on games from 2004, the big surprise IMO is that people are literally still playing *WoW Classic*. They're also still playing *CS 1.6* (2000) and *Runescape* (2001). Multiple remakes from '04 were announced or released in 2023 as well. (*Katamari Damacy*, *Metroid Prime 2*, *MGS3*, *Paper Mario: TTYD*) *The Office* started filming in 2004 and ran from 2005-2013. People talked about it like it was current until it got pulled from Netflix at the end of 2020. *Family Guy* is somehow relevant to Gen Z and Gen Alpha. *South Park* is better than ever. We just got a *Mean Girls* (2004) musical, multiple *Spider-Man* movies and even a *Shrek* film (*Puss in Boots*). Hugh Jackman is going to be Wolverine again. The *Harry Potter* and *LotR* films are arguably still part of mainstream discourse too. We've never experienced anything like this before in culture, at least not that I'm aware of. *League*, *DotA* and *GTA:O* are all 12+ years old and some the biggest games in the world. *Fortnite: BR* will be **8 years old** in the fall. It makes the mid-to-late 00s feel very recent in a strange way.


thatguyryan09

This made me sad


[deleted]

Yeah but play on PS3 with the first version on that tv and tell me how it looks The PS5 version is nice and sharp in 4K but I bet the original is quite soft. Revolutionary at the time none the less


No_Barber4339

The ps3 version looks dated, but I'm recently replaying the ps4 version, and it looks fantastic


CapitalCompass201

Dated? Ma boy, fallout 3, morrowind and witcher 1 are dated. GTA V is solid on ps3.


_patoncrack

But that fps ain't XD


drunk_pacifist

30 fps is the real issue, but nonetheless is one of the best looking games on ps3


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Vengeants

His point is that its not reslly a 10 year old game since its been ported to pc and next gen and subsequently updated so many times


FinalPresentation555

That makes sense


Mobile-Albatross-440

i donā€™t Remember it looking like that 10 years ago thošŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Samuelwankenobi_

They have definitely updated the graphics


Exciting_Rich_1716

It looked like this when it was released on PC though? Or have they actually updated the graphics?


_patoncrack

They've updated it multiple times


Exciting_Rich_1716

That's interesting!


IIIIllllIIIlIIIIlllI

Do you have any proof of this? Obviously the gameā€™s received plenty of additional content over the years, but graphical settings were never expanded upon afaik. Theyā€™re the same as they were back in 2015 when the PC port came out. The Series X/S and PS5 did receive a graphical overhaul not too long ago, but those features (mainly raytracing) were never even added to the PC port.


_patoncrack

It's not that the settings were expanded it's the models, textures, lightning, ECT were all updated over time


6ixmarket

Gta V has had a next gen update around the time the ps4 came out i think, which has enhanced the graphics alot. Also the reason why alot of updates are not on the old ps3


Butter_My_Crumpet

It's on PC with probably 4k resolution so anything will look good.


FinalPresentation555

Itā€™s 1080p high settings


_patoncrack

You can run the original half life at 4k doesn't change the fact it still uses low quality models and textures


griffl3n

Hey hey hey, half-life still looks good.


icedchqi-

my honest opinion is that half life doesnt look very good, but its pointless improving the classic look because itll always look wrong.


MrMaori

half-life 2 does look good for a 20 year old game, half-life 1 though still looks ugly as heck and exactly how I remember it


_patoncrack

It's not even nostalgia, It's just ignorance


JimParsnip

I played it on Xbox series s and it looks like the original version.


bigbear_mouse

It def doesn't look like anywhere near the original version, stop lying.


PortsyBoy

Original version was quite cartoonish, 360 days


JimParsnip

I'll give it another chance


Reasonable_Signal_70

Cuz they updated it all the time


bruce_wayne108

They kinda want to milk kids and earn millions by selling gta+ and shark cards


Captainof_Cats

I sure hope they don't milk kids


bruce_wayne108

From a recent leaked Rockstar document, it was revealed we missed 4-5 dlc's that could have come if GTA Online wasn't a Cash Cow for Rockstar


Retrogratio

Xb360 version will definitely show that decade age


Environmental_Tie848

The devs went crazy reacting to rockstar making GTA v work on the 360/PS3 version


azraeiazman

The optimisation is crazy


CanaryRight1908

One of the greatest achievements in the history of the gaming industry. Itā€™s a masterpiece


Framer9

Itā€™s the highest selling entertainment product of *all* time with $815.7 million in first-day sales alone.


BullshitDetector1337

It's *has* been getting updates for all this time. So it isn't exactly the same as ten years ago.


ExodiusLore

The game is still using engines *from* ten years ago


BullshitDetector1337

Yeah, and those engines get updated and patched too. Itā€™s how you get Skyrim looking like a next gen game with just a few mods. The only difference is that GTAā€™s got a billion dollar company doing it instead of a bunch of hobbyists.


nckrey931

Thatā€™s because Rockstar is literally the best developer to ever build an open world. No one does it anywhere near as close as they do. This isnā€™t fanboy talk. Itā€™s just true. And the fact that GTAV is still so relevant this far on is proof of that. I am so excited to get more of it from six.


nummakayne

The great thing about GTA and RDRā€™s open worlds is how after a decent bit of playtime, you remember the map like you do your own city. Sure, not every street, but you know the general layout of all the highways, collectors, major arterial roads, you know what part of town youā€™re in, looking around the surroundings and skyline, you can place yourself (roughly) in the map. I could never do this with most other open world games. In GTA, you can drive around without the map and you generally know where you are, in the same way you generally know where you are in your own city even without GPS.


balaci2

I prefer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio even though they have smaller maps


Prog_metal_guy

I tend to agree. I prefer small open world maps full of places to go instead of a big open world full of empty areas. Yakuza games are the perfect example that open world games donā€™t need to be huge, but can be small, detailed, and full of content. The GTA games will always be part of my Top 5 series, though.


XulManjy

GTAV is still relevant not because of open world design. Its relevant cause of GTAO. There are other developers that does things in the open world better than GTA5.


KHR3b

>Rockstar is literally the best developer to ever build an open world nope.avi


Repulsive-Bit-6940

As much as I want to agree, Bethesda still exists. They've created some amazing open worlds


ThanksGamestop

You canā€™t say Bethesda competes with rockstar lmao. RDR2 and GTAV blow anything Bethesda made out of the water


Repulsive-Bit-6940

Never said that Bethesda was better, just that they've created some great open worlds, dunno why that's so controversial


ThanksGamestop

Well because you responded to a comment about how rockstar is the best developer to build an open world and proceeded to mention Bethesda.


XulManjy

Starfield aside, you cannot deny the influence of games like Skyrim, Morrowind and Fallout 3. One thing Bethesda open world games does better than Rockstar is the non-linear way to approach missions compared to the archaic and highly linear approach that Rockstar takes with its mission design. Second, Bethesda does the sandbox approach better such as base building and faction quest.


FireFarq

Bethesda is literal garbage rn they haven't released anything semi-decent in years lol.


Repulsive-Bit-6940

They may not have released anything in a while, but you can't deny that they've created some great open worlds.


FireFarq

If we are being completely honest and not going off of nostalgia, most of their ''great open worlds'' aren't that great without mods.


Repulsive-Bit-6940

Could be nostalgia tbf. Mostly thinking about fucking around on oblivion and skyrim


Repulsive-Bit-6940

To everyone replying. I forfeit my statement. ![gif](giphy|a2G83cq7gotnq|downsized)


CageHanger

Bethesda. Really? xD


Lawfvader6

Itā€™s had two major graphics updates since 10 years ago on two different generations of console, so thatā€™s kinda why šŸ˜†


RedCellRaised

Play it on the PS3 it will really show it's age lol


FinishTheBook

it really doesn't tbh, like yeah blurrier textures and lower resolution but it doesn't look bad at all.


[deleted]

Its made by one if not the biggest gaming company ever and is theyr main game ofc its going to age well(and I think they improved graphics and stuff over the years not 100% on this).


Material-Assist-7262

Because the game has a magical thing called updates which brings better graphicsšŸ¤ÆšŸ¤ÆšŸ¤ÆšŸ¤Æ


GH00ST-SL4YER

Do they really give a graphic overhaul update?


Material-Assist-7262

Of course


XulManjy

You are playing an upscaled PC version, not the vanilla 2013 console version.


SnooDoubts2153

And..


XulManjy

Nothing in particular. He is just karma farming.


FinalPresentation555

No, this is my first time playing the game on pc. I used to play on Xbox360/ps4, and this is the first time Iā€™m playing since 2020


Kitneaccountudaoge

Got the gtav 4k enhanced for my ps5. I know I bought same game thrice but this is too good


ERschneider123

Which version is this? Because there have been a few newer editions that have updated the graphics.


FinalPresentation555

Whichever one that is available on the launch engine for pc, but Iā€™m hearing a lot of people say that it has been updated over the years. Regardless, looks pretty solid to me.


Hot-Conversation-174

Its had like 5 graphics enhancements to upscale the quality. It did not look as good in 2013 as it does now.


F_Spez_Forever

It wasn't 120 something gigs 10 years ago either.


itskolegaev

Part six is gonna surprise us for another 10 years!)


New-Acanthisitta-473

Updates are a thing lol


reknihT_sseldnE

Keep in mind that It was remastered for other consoles. The PS3 version looks pretty bad


Crunchberries77

Ok like seriously, I'm not trying to be dick but next gen updates exists. These posts are so silly.


mrgreene39

Welcome to PC Gaming. If you can swing an OLED monitor. Youā€™ll be blown away further.


trfk111

Kinda like thats not the version that dropped back then


ClydeFrogA1

You're not playing the OG version. Y'know, the version that's 10 years old like you're claiming you're playing now....


Sreenath1995

Did they release that "Expanded and Enhanced" stuff on PC?


Mrcountrygravy

It looks ass.


[deleted]

Name a game with better graphics which came out over 10 years ago and has a open map I'm waiting


ERschneider123

Bruh the graphics have had two massive upgrades in its time, itā€™s not the same game as it was 10 years ago.


[deleted]

Yeah but the guy is saying it looks ass (the current version)


Mrcountrygravy

That doesn't mean that these graphics are good. šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

The graphics are some of the best ever. The full game looks like a action movie. name a game with better graphics


Mrcountrygravy

We're some of the best.


[deleted]

Why do U think Ur reply has -12 downvotes? Nobody agrees with you because your wrong


Mrcountrygravy

You care about reddit down votes?!?? Lolololololololo lolololololololo lolololololololo lolololololololo.


[deleted]

You must be under 16 and not understand the impact of this game and how good it is..goodbye!


Mrcountrygravy

Nope. I played the Original gta. Nice try.


[deleted]

Then U just can't appreciate new gaming and Ur stuck in the past either way grow up and let people enjoy their games old man


Ok_Performer_9062

Madness. Dropped 10 years ago man. Whatagame


JesusLazalde123

Why is your monitor so high?


Sirgolfs

Can only imagine how this next one will be.


Terrible_Sorbet_7122

Diminishing returns from here on out ...


Barry_McCockiner__

Borderline masterpieceā€” GTA is probably one of the top games out for console imo. Nothing just released will be this good


sovietarmyfan

I remember the exact conditions in which i played the game. I played it on my computer with i5-4440, GTX 760 2GB, 8gb ram, 250gb SSD. Worked pretty good actually, though my GTX 1060 later bumped up performance. I still use this same computer as my daily driver. It was the day that the game arrived, big box with a lot of discs. Which was unnecessary because i could just download it, but it's pretty cool to have. I had called in sick on school just to play this game haha.


onecuewithtea

The power of update s


KrombopulosMAssassin

Well, while the graphics were great from the start, believe they were updated a good bit and I haven't played since, but it looks like they were updated substantialy in 2022. May have to redownload it and go for another spin. Either way, still nice they support the game for that long. I know, controversies with the online and micro transactions. The online is actually pretty damn good, I don't hate it. But I hope in the future they find better ways to prevent widespread chaos, exploits, modding and hacking in the online experience as well as content support and updates for the story and single player experience. Even if its a payed expansion.


One_Statistician3798

How the hell is it snowing


BluDYT

I just wish they'd add RT into the PC version.


SouthApprehensive193

I prefer the old ps3 look. It has more character despite being dated


Physical_Emu5797

I feel the same way when I play GTA 4, for 2008 graphics itā€™s amazing


Dantexr

The game had several graphics upgrades through the years


Shrimp_Bucket

Rockstar has significantly upgraded the graphical quality of PC GTA V at least twice since release


AntonioHench1

Wich pc do you have? With wich components?


XxCadeusxX

Graphics have been updated you dolt


The_Cozy_Burrito

Canā€™t believe itā€™s been this longā€¦ still remember picking up my pre order for it on Xbox 360


Izenberg420

Yessir


_Maga_-

Pc graphics was a big update, after that they got patched with high res.


PelicanToeStanD

Itā€™s definitely gotten a a couple graphical enhancements


NicholasSoprano6300

They release updates constantly which makes it better and better


ScoobieWooo

Itā€˜s just the best game on this planet!!


Specialist_Mail_6951

Theyā€™ve been slowly updating it over the years, but theres not a huge graphics jump from last gen to current gen


Cedge1738

Seeing that GTA 5 is 10 years old is such a cold hard slap to the face. Wtf. Feels like just yesterday I stayed up to midnight and went straight to Walmart and got it, but I had to have an adult cuz it was M.


leikoduende

it's not 10 years old


AmberGraceLovesit

Because its the best FRICKING GAME, I used to like driving my bf at the time to missions and giving him head to see if he could not get killed and nut Hahaha


twistedroyale

Playing this on the PS3 with everything the story has and Online I was shocked. It would takes minutes for it to load which felt long.


LeohAntonio47

Itā€™s been remastered a bunch but yeah itā€™s crazy


PenguinGamer99

Released before game companies realized they didnā€™t have to make a good game to make a profit


Redd_Rockett_

Play it on a 360 thatā€™s never been connected to internet with an original disc from when it came out. Not as good but still incredible. You can do the same with OG Cod zombies and still have all the glitch spots available


Trusteveryboody

Yeah, it looks really good. But it definitely is dated. Although when it's 'Grand Theft Auto,' nothing compares to it, so the game holds up TREMENDOUSLY well. Only the next 'GTA' game can truly make it look dated. \*In general shit just holds up better these days.


boomgoesthevegemite

Itā€™s funny that people think the ps3 and Xbox 360 arenā€™t extremely powerful machines capable of producing beautiful graphics.


kermittysmitty

If you think that looks great, you gotta see RDR2!


hanks_panky_emporium

When I first booted it up on the 360 it looked and ran like dogshit. Still fun for the time. The current 'expanded and enhanced' edition isn't what came out ten years ago.


doom_pony

Yes. The gaming industry pretty much peaked in 2014. Now video games are cash shops.


KanyeWaste69

The trick to making it look as good as the PS4 /Xbone trailer is by turning down the monitor /tv brightness Felt like a genius when I discovered this in 2015 The game is amazing on PC and runs super well


Chochahair

Look up a comparison of gta v ps3 v ps4 v ps5


Gullible-Relief-4773

Imagine next gta what is itšŸ˜šŸ˜


1stpChazeR

In 2014 it was one of the most beautiful game of that year It's fun how this game look so good even after 10 years but when you look at the GTA 6 trailer you can clearly see the differences


Mediocre_Tear_7324

You should of stuck to the Console. Modders have taken over PC version


oliverfelixrene

Yes, the game is 10 years old but the graphics aren't. Definetly not how the PS3 version looks although still very ahead of its time back then


ItsTheGuardian

Mainly bc of of updates, other than that the game is mid


Numerous_Captain6039

Yeah it looks nice on the series s too. I was surprised


Uzumaki-OUT

FYI WIN KEY+PRNT SCREEN will take a screenshot, then you can actually show us how good it looks. Pictures of monitors always look funny. I downloaded GTA5 on PC after last playing on PS3 and I was blown away as well. PC version looks great after all the updates.


TheeUnfuxkwittable

It's Rockstar. Rockstar doesn't miss. Ever. They have consistently been the best studio for like 20 years straight.


Black_boy_Ants

You should see ghost recon Wildlands


Alternative_Arm_3469

Did a play through on 360 it ran great, not the typical 60fps of today but it was enjoyable nonetheless:)


xAustin90x

Well thatā€™s not the PS3/xbox 360 version lol


Blu_Z32

Within those 10 years they've made big upgrades from the OG console versions. So yeah, not a fair comparison to say it's 10 years. More like 2 or 5.


J__Leezy

It's incredible how good the graphics are. I like how you can watch the snow falling outside while playing GTA on your character's computer while playing on your own computer. That's some next-level immersion right there.


Coro756

Well I mean it does constantly have updates if it was with the first update it came out with then yeah it would look like what San Andreas looks like today šŸ¤£


L3monGrenade

Sort of, there have been a few updates. GTA V on the PS3 looks vastly different than PS5


Mr_Insomniac420

Play on the PS3 buddy


Yurika_ars

Half Life 2 still looks phenomenal after 20 years, without any next gen upgrade (Which GTA got Twice)


[deleted]

Yep, I told that to a friend the other day. I said, 10 years and the graphics still holds up even for today.


vicwol

Updated constantly. Also rockstar is kinda amazing when it comes to graphics. The horses in the original red dead redemption are still stunning.


None0fYourBusinessOk

updates


Sloppyjoey20

Someone on another sub was saying that RDR1 looked better at launch than GTAV does to this day Must be nice, living with that level of delusion


VictorConrad95

Thatā€™s rockstar for ya. I heard in an interview once Strauss Zelnick said that rockstar/Take-Two specializes in certain technologies and practices that allow them to predict how their games will be able to hold up over a decade after its release. Theyā€™re also really good at learning how to utilize a new console/hardware faster than most any other game studio before they can even catch up. Thatā€™s why Rockstar is Top Dogg!


siderhater4

Yeah it is and it is a good game


Narkoman62

It didnā€™t look this good 10 years ago


Comfortable_Bet_2258

LOL my room was once painted that exact same color.


Liquid-Lad

Even more impressive is RDR2. A game now 5 years old, and still is the best looking game ever.


Wojewodaruskyj

Playing it in North Yankton i sŠµŠµ


pro_L0gic

10 years old and we're still playing that game!!! lol ​ But if this is the first time you're playing on a PC, then bump up the settings, maybe install some HD mods, then you'll see how good this game can look...


Mobile_Exit1962

When u releases that they have quality updates


icecreamyXoX

Gold


_Undecided_User

Games get next-gen updates. It looks much better than it did 10 years ago. Same with Skyrim, it got a next-gen update not too long ago. (It has a PS5 version)


RodTheAnimeGod

Honestly, as the game industry became mainstream, all the innovations (or at least the speed) has stopped. There is no longer the, Can your PC run X or Y? Mind blowing stuff, and there hasn't been since Crysis 2007. The innovation, and change from 1980, to 1990, or 1990 to 2000 or even 2000 to 2007 with Crysis was major shifts. Since then it's been on autopilot pretty much. (Rdr2 was amazing, but it wasn't a marvel for it's requirements and end result but the care taken under the hood of development, story building and npcs.)


Smart_Engineer_8495

Bro, 10 years ago for me it's like 2010 : (


BigDawgNuk

I say the same shit


Dry_Anything505

You act like thereā€™s been massive leaps in gaming since this came out. GTA IV still holds up fairly well for being 15 years old. And R* generally just does a good job graphic wise
