Why was Vice City's map so bad?
because you were born 20 years after the game released
>>742296737curvy streets made it hard to navigate
>>742296737not enough empty wasteland
>Your name's Lance Vance??!>Poor bastard..
>>7422967371 year of development
Florida sucks
>>742296872Get better material you crusty old burnout.
>>742296872I own the PC box still. Shame there are no more disk drives on pc anymore.
>>742298217They should bring back blu-ray drives for PC games.I have several BD-DVD players I can install on my rig.
>>742296737because VC is dlc for 3
I was playing this on my xbox OG last night. the Porno theatre missions are pretty hard, especially the motorcycle mission where you gotta ride in the office buildings and jump from tower to tower.The game is as big as it needs to be and is bound by the technical and capital restrictions of the time. they probably spent a lot of the budget on ironing out the bugs with the new mechanics and tuning the engine. I bet the actual asset placing and mission building took very little time. now we have engines all ready to go with thousands of pre fab assets to chose from so modern devs go crazy making these huge worlds that are boring because they didn't have to wrestle with the engine code themselves. its like calling your self a game dev after making a map with an in game level editor
>>742298279Yes but for what purpose? Most of the games probably won't run anymore out of the box. All the old games are so small and easy to get online I just fill up my external these days.
>>742296737the top left area is dogshit to navigate.also the lack of a connection between little havana and the airport is so baffling that even the VCS developers added one.
I remember the game being MUCH larger when I was a child. What happened, exactly? Did (((They)) modify my memories and replace the original game with this smaller one??
>>742298732london built the shard in real life and mandela effected us into a timeline of worse games
>>742298732>What happened, exactly? i remember the wall at the beach to look like 50 metters tallits just 3 metterswelcome to adult life
>>742296737what, is it missing your GTAV ring-around-the-wasteland superhighway to nowhere?
>>742296737a game that was supposed to be a dlc and was developed in less than a year
>Have to spend five years just driving from one part of the map to the other on a routine basisWhat's with GTA clones always having dog shit traversal?
this is all from memory, anyone else wanna add some? NO CHEATING
>>742299431>he had a 360condolences
>>742299534There is an uzi spawn in a hotel pool in the southern part of the right island.
>>742299534Body armor + uzi/tec-9 in the parking lot near the hotel
>>742299673And by hotel I mean the first safehouse
>>742298217You can put a disk drive in your PC, nobody's stopping you.I've got one. I've used it twice in seven years.
>>742296737Yeah, where's the empty desert and bumfuck village that the game will make me travel back and forth to?
>>742299534Based rememberer anon
>>742296737>what if we took vice city and added a bunch of empty shit to the left of ituhh thanks i guess
>>742296737Crazy how tiny the map actually was. Had it much bigger in memory.
>>742296737gesgh
>>742296737as a kid loading a new zone had a chance to crash the ps2 so I never explored much, I just assumed the zones I hadn't been to would enter a loading zone, not understanding it was just that bridge area that triggered the loading
Anyone actually playing this shit rn?
>>742298660>the top left area is dogshit to navigate.downtown is the easiest area to do side-missions like paramedics
>>742302946I stock up the garages up there full of ambulances and police cars when i do the missions
>>742302750How is Rockstar going to make a swamp interesting is beyond me.
>>742302886Just completed the 3d trilogy a few weeks agoAll of them hold up still, but vc becomes landlord simulator at the end, sa bores you with gang territory until it gives you end of the line
>>742303206>nooo it must be a racing game with points of interest around every corner
>>742303206>>742303265hovercraft racing
>>742303206they wont, thats why they showed that mud shit "oh look guys all this empty space can be used for muddn!!! how neat!!
>>742303206alligators, fucked up hicks and hovercrafts
>>742303265This but unironically.Give me Midnight Club 5.
>>742299431Saints Row 2's map was great3's was so god fucking awful. Every area of the map looked the same I don't know why they reused it twice
>>742302886dirty bastard this is a vibe
>>742303206Hunting.
>>742303495that's a different game retard
>>742299534Wasn't the rocket launcher in the pool?
>>742302886I'm so glad I never played this game on ps2 but once at a friends house. PC version is so superior for aiming.
>>742296737Embarrassing to look at. Ctfu! I need more.
lost technology
>>742296737What do they eat?
>>742303430>all this empty space>NOOOO VICE CITY BEING 1/4th EMPTY BEACH FROM TOP TO BOTTOM DOESNT COUNT BECAUSE I PLAYED IT WHEN I WAS 12 OKWe seriously are ignoring the elephant in the room here. A large chunk of the map in VC is just an empty beach
>>742305634cocaine, alcohol, and strip club food
>>742296737That's Vice City Stories' map, you dingus.And yes, it is infinitely better than Vice City's map, solely due to one tiny bridge, a trailer park, and a ferris wheel.
>>742305634Meth and cocaine, no water.
The map is basically a race track so you can get some decent loops but you can’t really navigate the inner streets very well because the angle is too sharp.So, like the other anon said - 8-9 months of development time
>>742302886been playing 3 for the first time and i already want to stop
>>742298732The streets are longer than the image leads you to believe. The map is very simplistic but it isn't really as tiny as the image suggests.
>>742299534Brass knuckles in the alleyway behind the first safehouse and there is the pinstriped and black suit which is the real prize.
>>742303265Yes? Literally what do you think is the appeal of GTA, retard?
>>742303206IDK When I look at the new maps people are posting it looks like the majority of the map is city with a few rural areas in between it's more like San Andreas where there is countryside between cities but it's not like a barren wasteland like the majority of GTA5s map.
>>742303206You can fish and hunt in VI so they don't need a lot of infrastructure to make an area interesting.
>>742296920do US americans really
>>742303697Ayo is that CaseOh on the right?
>>742309331who
>>742303213SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
a good thing about the map is that its very intuitive to navigate with the radar. because it doesnt really have verticality.
>>742296872/thread>>742297979>.t seething summerfag>>742298217>retard can't into USB DVD or BluRay drives
>>742296737Looks close enough to me.Florida really is just like that
>>742302886playing VCS actually
>>742306383it aged like milk, I recently beat it and it felt like CBT, it kept getting worse with each mission.
>>742299534the tear gas grenades behind the police station close to the malibu
>>742313330Nah 3 has a lot of charm and hidden things to collect without being too big. It's also very arcadey and fun. Did you know you can do alot of early missions using 8balls car bombs if u really try? And collecting all the cars to check off the chalkboard like that movie gone in 60 seconds was kino. You just can't play that game with controller. It's super easy on PC.
>>742299431>Have to spend five years just driving from one part of the map to the other on a routine basisdude whatsaint's row 2 driving almost feels too fast. it's like I put the marker down on the map and then a second later I'm already there. if there's car dialogue I have to sit and wait for it.
>>742296737Too small and cramped
