I remember every kid in school back then creaming themselves over this game but I popped it back in and it's a fucking messIt's crazy how they managed to go from this to Vice City.
Every second you're not driving is ass. Absolutely horrible on foot gameplay.
Urban sims are the definition of retro
>>12503634I remember getting my older sister to buy it because my mom didn't want toEventually she found out and sold it for like 10 dollars at a garage sale. Never stopped seething over it.
>>12503634Saying GTA3 hasn't aged well isn't exactly a hot take, but acting like VC made all these improvements is just baffling. The map is way worse in VC, they somehow fucked up the aiming sensitivity, and the latter half is just boring money grind shit
i think the 2D ones are more fun in an 'arcadey' way. better sense of humour too, especially GTA London.but nah this was pretty awesome on release. in hindsight there was barely any traffic, very few NPCs wandering around, most of the city geometry is just textured cubes. still, it FELT like this amazing Morrowind-style game where you could just go anywhere.Spider-Man 2 was the better open city game. it just needed more mission variety.
What kind of faggot ass retards are making posts on /vr/ now
>>12503653>older sisterWhat did her feet smell like?
>>12503814Not good, they smelled strongly of cheese.
I’m guessing the part you failed 100 times is where it’s “messy”
>>12503634it’s crazy that they couldn’t fix the targeting a little bit for vice city and both of these games fucking suck when you’re not driving. i thought that when they were new, and now.
>>12503634vice city isn't any better. none of the 3D GTAs are worth a shit. rockstar should have stuck to the 2D kino and lemmings.
>>12503634>people said this game is good but i played it and its bad, what gives?he says without a hint of irony, think about it smart guy
>>12503861yea filtered likely
What's with all of these gta3 hate threads? There is atleast one everyday in here and /v/.
>>12503634Most gta games are somehow bad but most go "it sold X ammount of copies" ignoring how bad it was, in gta V you don't need to play at all is just "die 3 times to skip" while driving 20 minutes to reach the point of the mission.
>>12503642this. aiming and simply running around is wonky jank trash. i felt this way when it was released but forced my way through to beat it. san andreas is an improvement with aiming but it kinda still sucks to do stuff in missions on foot
>>12503634I am nostalgic for it but it was basically a proof of concept released as a game. I do miss the mute protagonist though.
>>12503634GTA San Andreas was my first GTA bought by myself and played from start to finish.III and VC are way too inferior for several reasons. Not only inferior, but also have several technical and design flaws that makes it irritating to play.Rockstar really went all in on the SA development.... and the scope was much larger, but they ran out of time and had to cut a lot of what had been planned.
>>12504084Zoomers are going back and getting filtered hard because there is no cover system or way to turn on perfect driving using Franklin's ability or Michael's slow motion etc. If I were to guess, of course. These are not hard games, they just require slight patience and for you to think for yourself occasionally. Something modern games do not ever really force you to do.
>>12505842they’re trial and error where you often have to replay a mission 20 times, to then arrive at the next mission which takes 15 tries. i played them all on initial release and i never had to think for myself to play them, they are just missions you have to execute precisely right using imprecise controls so you fuck up until you get it right.
