Yesterday, I made a dollar! And my friend Joey sewed his hands together!

>killed off the fun happy carefree pre-9/11 era of gaming
>brought in the DARK AND MATURZ brown and piss era of gaming

wow. very revolutionary

You want the chainsaw gringo?

>>9881397
for me its this

was watching my brother's friend play, he stole a taxi, heard this line, fuckin lol

>>9881428
Yes it was revolutionary, just not for the better.

>>9881393
It was good I liked it a lot.

My toolbox

I used to get a banshee from the car dealership, take it to 8 balls to get a remote bomb set in it, then drive it to the top of St.Marks.
I would then make sure thieves were around and park it near them and arm the bomb. The guys in the blue and white camo pants would go for it almost every time.
They would get in, drive about 1.5 seconds and boom! I don’t know why, but this was always strangely satisfying.

ALL THE SONGS YOU WERE TIRED OF 20 YEARS AGO

now squirrel...squirrels not so good

>>9882804
Chatterbox was the GOAT. I must have listened to that shit a thousand times. Great parody of US talk radio.

>>9882813
i used to listen to the talk radio shows from across the series in my car irl. have kind of worn them out, but yep classic stuff

Played this again a year or so ago when I soft-modded my PS2. I always used to go back to VC and thought I wouldn't enjoy GTA3 as much but damn it was still such a fun game to play alongside VC and SA. The atmosphere really is strong in its own way that I didn't appreciate at the time, because it really feels like early 2000s.
I'd probably still say VC is my favourite of the 3, but GTA3 is a lot of fun on its own merits and has some cool stuff.

>>9882816
I eventually got them all as MP3 rips onto my iPod around 2004/5, al the ones from Vice City+San Andreas as well, was glad they expanded them and had loads more to listen in the later games.
There's a huge multi hrs compilation of all the Lazlow talk shows on YouTube I went back and listened to last year.

>>9882879
All of the talk stations from all the GTAs are up on YT;

>>9881428

Tard takes, and I say that as a complete boomer. GTA 3 is kino

>>9882873
>it really feels like early 2000s
kinda crazy the way they inadvertently made it a period piece. you don't really know what's gonna be remembered from the time you're currently living in. or maybe it's just aided heavily by the nostalgia from playing it back then when it came out.

>>9882924
their dads were freshmen in high school when it came out

Parasite Eve and GTA III really have that late 90s/early 00s NYC feel

Saw Michael Rappaport in a sitcom like 15 years ago, thought he was awful, from the comedy to the acting. Much better as a greaser, and I dont need to see his face

>>9881428
no one told publishers or devs to do anything like that there were plenty of colorful games that still sold great
THEY just saw fucking dollar signs after rockstar made out like bandits and wanted that money too so everyone just tried to rip them off for like 20 years

dont look at me
dindu nuffin

Yep, I've been drinkin' again

What's the latest version of RE3?

https://youtu.be/sjpY2ptNINg

im bored, when ya gonna drill me?

>>9881393
why do people make threads like this now. you're supposed to have something to say when you make the thread instead of starting gta 3 general for some reason

>>9881393
Revolutionary game but GTA 2 was better

I used to spend a lot of time attempting this super jump glitch that I can never find any mention of anywhere now. You took a Cheetah up on the elevated train tracks, and if you get the right spot and position, the train would blast the car across the map, sometimes to the 2nd or 3rd island, and often on to inaccessible areas and rooftops.

It was a pain in the ass to do because you had to drive the car up the stairs to the tracks, wait for the train to pass before getting into position, and then waiting and hoping it hits you just right. Most of the time it was a bad launch, but some times you would see some insane shit.

>>9884684
Ok I found some videos that are pretty good examples.

>>9884684
>>9884698
qa testers would remove fun things like this from a modern video game

>>9884325
2001 was 22 years ago. There's a lot of nostalgia surrounding this for boomers. Also, it's a great game.

I love III. Played it a TON; way more than VC. I do wish they had done more with the 3rd island, though. Feels like it's an afterthought.

>>9884684
>>9884698
Ha, this is neat, I never knew about this.

>>9882926
we are all just fools milling about on life's stage

>>9884330
I have a real softspot for that weird vibe it was going for. Lots of black humour and satire, but also genuinely slightly disturbing at times, like looking in a black mirror. The city was a really cool slightly cyberpunk, but also slightly retrofuturistic dystopia.
Also I absolutely loved the crazy announcer commenting on everything going on

>>9884764
True, there's barely anything going on there. I always liked it though, hard to navigate but some quite cool places in there. It's especially sad considering they had a chance to fix that with LCS, the Vale has the least content there again (still more than in 3 though)

>>9885029
That part of the map needed an overhaul desu, the road layouts are very sparse.

>>9884698
Ok, I tried to recreate it in LCS with a bike, in case the stunt would be more spectacular.
It wasn't.

Are there any hot girls in this? Post your favorite GTA 3 women

You really wouldn't know how good that thing is until you do the taxi missions and use it, swats other cars out of the way like a truck.

>>9882551
That was a classic, or just doing the ramp at the end of the alley beside St Mark's bistro over and over in that thing.

In the last 21 years, which one has it been anon?

Have you won the Nobel peace prize or have you been wondering if wrasslin's on tonight?

Ive been playing thru it again on the ps2. I mentioned it a week or 2 ago in another gta thread. ease of access mostly since I cant get the pc version to play properly in windows 10. all good either way. I'm only about 7 missions in atm. Mostly just been messing around and exploring when I do play since I dont really remember anything about this game since I barely played it back in the day. Just got done stealing the bank car for the mechanic guy early in and got the game on pause atm to post here.

>>9881393
Gta3 and GtaIV are still the only ones worth playing

>>9885259
Did you mod this yourself? I can't find any pedestrian mods that look like that.

You get to have sex with her in GTA Advance.

>>9886234
Yes. It's very easy to do. You can extract the image & change the skin.

>>9886583
no one is ready for asuka

For me, it's Darkel.

Also, apparently some very early version like an alpha-build had a school bus with actual children but then the pussies cut it because apparently being able to kill children is going too far.

Asuka is Loyal and its never confirmed if she borught Mike to a Trap or if someone in the Yakuza ratted out Mike.

>>9881428
People were completely bored of the fun happy carefree pre-9/11 era of gaming, and wanted something new. Same thing will happen to the current era, in fact people getting bored of modern trends is part of the reason why all those happy colourful mascot platformers that people were sick of when they were new are having a resurgence in popularity.

>>9887676
I'd still bang maria. any maria fanart?

silent patch will 100% fix all your problems, you should try it anon
I always play the classic trilogy on PC

>>9881469
You gonna be sorry!

Something I always found funny is how unnecessary the ghost town is. In the intro they were robbing the Liberty City Bank, there's absolutely no reason why the Liberty City Bank should be outside of Liberty City. I wonder how many people searched through the entire map looking for the bank, only to never find it because it's essentially inaccessible.

>>9889105
I thought it was near those flags next to Central Park

WELCOME TO THE GANGSTA WORLD OF HAGALOG

>>9889105
Ghost town, especially the bank area, had more detail and clutter than most of the actual city IIRC, so maybe they just wanted the intro cutscene to be more detailed than what they could actually pull of on the proper map (or needed it to be more detailed to look good for some internal presentations or similar stuff).

>>9889105
>>9889165
After all these years, I'm surprised there's no mod that tries to incorporate the Bank naturally to the game world, or even expand the map to include the bank in a seamless way.

you brave man, eh?

>>9889691
Maybe not quite seamless, but there's at least mod around which basically puts a longass double lane bridge between the mainland and the Ghosttown and adds solid ground to the Ghosttown.

>>9889709
Yeah, I've seen it, which is cool but seeing it added to the map in some way that fits would be cool, especially considering all the map changes.

For me, it's the Purple Nines Glitch. I wonder if the pajeets bothered fixing that in the remake

>>9889712
Oh, you mean like trying to fit the map backdrop into the city? It wasn't in LCS, was it...

>>9889715
I don't think so, Anon, I mean add it to the city, with peds/traffic/etc. where you can actually go with a whole new landmass, I know changing the map is possible, I've seen a project where someone wanted to add upstate Liberty and Liberty prison.

were any of the psp mini sequels worth playing? they looked pretty good for psp games

>>9881393
For me, it's the Kalisto PS2 release which managed to fit the whole the fuckin' thing onto a CD-R (at the expense of some radio stations, but it still blew my mind at the time)

>>9889736
I honestly preferred the PS2 versions

>>9889736
LCS is an unofficial Sopranos video game in story, I love it.
VCS' story is weak and like babysitting Lance, but the gameplay itself is solid, there's in-depth melee combat for some reason.

>>9889738
makes sense, the retail PC version was on 2 CDs

>>9889736
I played LCS recently, I found it really enjoyable. If you like GTA3, I'd absolutely recommend it. My only problem was, I only found pretty late in the game that even though it uses the VC engine, you cannot use helicopters in the PSP version, I would have played the PS2 version instead had I known it earlier.

>>9889743
>there's in-depth melee combat for some reason
carryover from the warriors game

>>9889949
You can't use helis in the PS2 version of LCS either. Well, there's kind of a hack in one of the missions to use one but it barely works. You can use them in VCS though.

>>9890081
Oh, good to know. I had read something about the PS2 version, but I didn't really look into it because I wasn't going to play the same game again. It sucks that they never introduced helicopters properly in any Liberty City game, I guess they were too lazy to fix all the collisions in the inaccessible areas.

>>9881393
I know I have an existential crisis every time I turn the radio on.
https://youtu.be/tk8ynDToI5I?t=69

>>9889736
They're basically fully fledged standalone GTA games, everyone who liked 3, VC and LCS should absolutely play them if he hasn't yet. A bit less polished, but still great. In fact I'm pretty sure that LCS and VCS have more content than both III and VC

>>9890438
*3, VC and SA I wanted to say

>>9890438
my friend played thru both and he said the same thing you did. that compared to the ps2 versions these games had alot more content and overall stuff to do/see. I'll probably play thru those at some point.

>>9881428
>they hated him because he told the truth

>>9886382
I want to sniff her feet so badly. Any more of her or other GTA 3 women?

>>9889961
It's too stripped to be from the warriors.

>>9885848
out of these, gta 3 was a good game at least so it isn't its' fault.

Based email crew anon

I am enjoying using the cheat code that switches your charactor model. playing thru the game as the hooker with her boobs out in the red skirt currently (pity it doesnt show in the cutscenes tho) and having fun. I already stashed a banshee in the garage at your first safehouse and now im going around getting the packages and gathering guns and ammo.

>>9889743
>>9889949
I played LCS on PSP when I got one, but I just can't get into handhelds. I'm going to try it on PS2 soon, because even so it was really fun.

>>9891710
im playing it right now... well I was earlier and just got done 10mins ago. lcs is pretty decent so far. im about 7 missions in and just got my first safehouse outside of the barracks. so far so good. im gonna play some ncaa 11 football for a bit than switch back to lcs

How is it a retarded take? Half-Life 2 is what led to unskippable first person cut-scenes being added to every shooter. Almost nothing was taken from the original because the original is just Quake with set pieces.

>>9882886
The radio stations were some of the best content of any game ever made. That shit was beyond hilarious and fit the setting so well that it was practically sublime.

>>9886873
I remember it occurring to me when I was younger that there wasn’t any children in the games where you could run around and murder everyone. I think the only game that let you do it was Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (PS1).

Best mission?
Worst mission?

Playing the game right now and enjoying the radio stations and these early missions.

>>9894661
You could kill kids in Fallout 1 and 2, potentially in some fairly brutal ways even, but they patched them out in some releases

>>9894668
>Best mission?
I couldn't really decide on one. I feel the last mission would be too obvious, so I'd probably say Kanbu Bust-out because I thought that the thing about blowing a wall in the police station was pretty original. I know that you already blow the Yakuza thing when you're still in Portland, but I think this mission did it better.
>Worst mission?
Worst as in hardest, it was either A Drop in the Ocean or S.A.M., they were kind of similar, I remember one of them feeling impossible to complete with all the police chasing you, but it was pretty fun anyway.
Worst as in most annoying, Espresso-2-Go. I don't know if it was the longest mission, but having to drive around the entire map twice made it way too long.

>>9894850
>the Yakuza thing
I mean, the Triads thing.

None of the other GTA games give me the adrenaline rush that GTA 3 does. No idea how to explain it but I can feel the police sirens in the pit of my stomach at high wanted levels. They kamikaze into you at insane speeds, acceleration is nuts in this game. Also the visuals of the game remind me a lot of the film Payback with Mel Gibson from a year or two prior mixed with The Matrix. When it rains on the PS2 it has a greenish tint to my eyes, and the outfit Claude wears wouldn't be out of place in that universe. Claude doesn't get enough credit for having that literally me self insert appeal. The hot insane Latina ex gf, the banshee, Maria and Asuka scissoring, all of it is still so cool to me. Speaking of Asuka, if she was the protagonist in Liberty City Stories, Hitler would've won. No, I will not elaborate.

>>9890253
soundtrack sounds like it was composed for a movie that takes place on September 10th 2001

>>9894668
Bomb da Base was pretty fun, I liked covering 8-ball with the sniper rifle.
Sayonara Salvatore is also fun for the different ways you can do it. I figure the way you're 'meant' to do it is with the sniper rifle from a distance, but my friends and I used to just brute force it with drive by and heavy weapons back in the day.

Worst I'd probably agree was >>9894850 espresso to go.

>>9894668
Bomb Da Base was a nightmare on console because of the weird Joystick Sensitivity.

>>9894668
I've always had affection for the one where you had to bazooka the dodo out of the sky as it's coming in to land

Also, how come they didn't haven't any cool chase missions throught the underwater train tunnels? Same with LCS. Wasted potential

>>9895114
Did they ever do anything on the ferry in LCS? It was comfy, and I appreciate just on that level, but a mission on one would've been fun. Toni detonates a city block, some real terrorist type of shit.

>>9895202
Besides the Strike, no I don't think so, LCS hit real different from 3.
LCS and I wanna say VC are my favorite, maybe 3? SA stopped being good once you left LS.

>>9894668
The only mission that I'd call bullshit is Escort Service. Why? Because due to dumb AI, the van can get stuck with some walls near the garage. Not sure if this is common, but it happened to me like three times.

Favorite Conversion mods?

>>9895580
Happened to me a few times, just bad pathfinding for that world geometry

>>9894892
I remember the FBI being particularly insane when they were chasing you down in 3. They toned down a bit in VC and SA from memory, but FBI used to suicide themselves to try and ram you in 3 IIRC.

>>9894892
Remember this GTA2 commercial?
https://youtu.be/pCSlPq5d9FQ
GTA III feels the most like it

>>9896456
I wish GTA 3 had a system where you could specifically work for factions like in 2.

>>9896348
What was the zombie one for VC? Long Night or something? It was fun.

>>9896946
Long Night, I played a little of it, but that one mission where you had to fend off the bikers was ridiculous.

>>9896946
I played that mod and I didnt get very far. It was interesting for sure tho.

>>9896348
Schnee (snow)mod at Christmas :3

The map change mods are insane for GTA 3, for VC and SA I'm not as impressed.

>>9899371
Yes, that is Misty, in an unrelated note, I love Maria's 3D model more than her Artwork
In general GTA 3's artwork is weird, Salvatore has no mustache, El Burro is prominent despite not appearing in person in the actual game and most of the female characters do not have the same hair/clothes in the game.
Early Toni looks nothing likehe does in the Game and his other artwork looks closer to his LCS depiction.

>>9899379
>What does Joey see in her?

Anyone know what mods PGteam used for the Revisited Trilogy on PS Vita?

There was but it got deleted, it was called VC cars in action.

>>9894892
Something about III makes it by far the best one for rampaging.
Vice's law are too buggy and erratic to be as fun as III and none of the other games recreate the same feel at all.

>>9899632
man I cant think of the last time I did a rampage in VC or SA or 3. I did them all in 5 but eh. I should load up 3 and go do a few

Yeah, you can genocide Mos Eisley as Qui-Gon Jinn in that game.

>>9900397
I still havent played that game to this day. I had no clue you could murder kids in it. Was there a big stink about it in the media when it came out or not much?

>>9881428
Oh it did more than that. It was the deathknell of the JRPG.

>>9900981
6th gen JRPGs were all right, it was the 7th gen which fully doomed them.

>>9900995
See what happened was that prior to GTA III kicking off the open world sandbox trend and paving the way for more movie like narratives in games, JRPGs were the best way to get story and exploration in a game. They also boasted the highest completion times which made for good value on purchase. WRPGs were stuck on PC and kind of cumbersome, and everything else on consoles was more geared towards an arcade experience. Then GTA III comes along with an action game that offers story, freedom of exploration, and bang for your buck in terms of length. After that, JRPGs' days were numbered.

the 6th did all the things people accuse the 7th gen of, including killing off of JRPGs and platformers and the piss filter. the 7th gen only improved upon the few things it had left, like improving open world, FPS, and hack n slash games and maybe some racing games.

the 6th gen was ultimately the jack of all trades and master of none. the 5th gen did JRPGs and platformers better and the 7th gen did FPS, open world, and hack n slash better.

Glad to see this threads still going. Im going to load up 3 and gta:sa in a bit and do some missions. still early in 3 so probably rampages and whatever else. hope everyones having a good night.

Claude do the shoot, and he kill.
I wish.

>>9901961
Enjoy bro, I'm going to try and load up Liberty City Stories tomorrow on the PS2.

Msx is still fucking awesome to listen to. Moving shadow and timezone, mc codebreaker is kino

>>9900664
It was called world trade center for a reason.

>>9902432
>Timezone
I meant dj timecode,

>>9902427
I still havent played that for more than 10mins. I have 3/vc/sa/lcs/vcs all for ps2 owned and in rom format. its on my list to check out finally.

>>9900664
it was the zog and they ruined your piece of shit european country as well, retarded zoomer

>>9902441
don't even waste your time. it's III with more features yet somehow worse. same with VCS though that's still worth at least one playthrough.

>>9902508
>VCS is worth a playthrough
>LCS isn't

>>9902584
VCS is the better game so yeah.

>>9902593
If you like to babysit Lance.

>>9902593

>>9902593

dropped

>>9902612
Yup, and LCS is even worse.

>>9902678
LCS was far more focused than the ridiculousness of VCS.

>>9902687
I'm sorry... are you playing a GTA game for the story?

>>9894837
Yea but no one would do shit for you if you did.

>>9902687
LCS was grounded, not focused. The whole game is like the first couple hours of a GTA game where you're just doing odd jobs for lowlifes before the plot really gets started. It's pretty boring.

>>9902692
No. VCS is too OTT. In the same vein as SA post-LS.

>>9902697
That's what I meant, sorry. Yeah, you have a point regarding its story, easily the weakest of the five. The final mission is pathetic. Could say the same about VCS to be fair.

>>9881393
Its worth it to play these games for the talk radio station content alone. I've never been bored listening to them on a playthru (speaking of III, VC, SA, LCS and VCS only).

Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories are both fun games worth 1 playthrough if you enjoyed their counterpart games.

>>9881393
Is the Nintendo Switch GTA 3 revamp worth it?

>>9902678
It mostly copies GTA3. Pointless, but alright.
The only must play portable GTA is CW.

>>9902703
VCS had a pretty good story

>>9903071
>VCS had a pretty good story
Was talking about the final mission, sorry I should have been specific. Although I might be confusing it with the one where you kill Armando.

VCS felt too easy as well, especially with the daily earnings and the ability to buy back weapons after getting wasted/busted.

>>9903071
I didn't like doing missions for a troon

>>9903079
Reni's missions were hilarious.

>>9903079
why did you find Reni hot

Bazooker.

What was the budget for GTA3?

i used to have a save where i was basically softlocked on the 3rd island
i was running through the subway tunnels trying to see if i could get out on the other islands (you cant) and while somewhere under the 3rd island i ended up getting hit by the train. instead of dying, i clipped out, fell awhile then landed on the 3rd island, topside
i was pretty excited so i went around to try to find somewhere to save, did, and that was it
no missions since i hadnt beaten even the 1st island yet on that file, and anytime i tried to leave the island i got a crazy wanted level
then id die and go back to the hospital on the 3rd island
RIP game

so that used to just be our rampage file. we woud prepare on the 3rd island then try to "invade" the other two islands
stupid shit but it was fun

>>9903694
>i was running through the subway tunnels trying to see if i could get out on the other islands (you cant)
You can roll a vehicle through the Portland Tunnel and access them that way

>>9903704
i mean im sure theres all kinds of crazy ass ways to skip/clip through nowadays
speedtrannys autism over that shit like its their fucking college thesis

and its not like GTA3s geometry was particularly solid in the first place. id definitely fallen out of the map before, its especially easy if you fly into tall buildings with the tank. but it was just sheer coincidence that i happened to be under the 3rd one at the time
and that the train didnt just kill me
and that it somehow didnt trigger the wanted level i guess its like a "plane" you pass thru? idk
and that i died and didnt just respawn back on island 1
idk man i was like 11 or 12 it was like 2003 gimme a break i thought it was pretty neat back then

>>9903739
I did that when I played the game 20+ years ago.

>>9903742
lol hopefully you werent stupid enough to try to save like me
wasnt my main file, so no huge loss, but i remember trying to fly over with the tank to try and finish up at least the first island while having 6 stars and it just wasnt happening
flying with the tank REALLY pisses em off since youre just constantly shooting behind you lel

>>9903758
I saved my main file with the riot cheat on the very first time I played it. I don't remember much else.

>>9903742
wait but the important thing is does it still trigger the wanted level that way?
cuz that was the thing i remember being baffled by. every other time i had tried to sneak over the borders id get annihilated
>glide over with dodo and that one bridge
>fly over with tank
>smash myself into corners of barriers
etc

this time was weird
just fell, splat on the road, then spawned at the 3rd islands hospital

>>9903767
fucking based

>>9903771
>wait but the important thing is does it still trigger the wanted level that way?
Unfortunately I vaguely remember. It may have done but I sadly can't be confident in saying that.

>>9903782
lol ikr?
fucking literally 20yrs ago lmao

Did anyone else love 'Car Surfing' and doing weird drive-bys from the roof of a car? They used to drive pretty serenely unless the car itself was shot so you didn't fall off right away.

>>9904164
This was fun, this was fucking ideal, I hate how they ruined it in IV.

>>9904164
that's gonna go ahead and be a pretty big yep from me dawg

>>9904164
sometimes they would speed up though and that was fun too

GTA III felt like the last true GTA game. It was set in a city based off of NYC and it was dark, gritty, hopeless, grim, and felt like everyone wanted to kill you. That's what GTA was always about. 1-3 got it right.

>Vice City and San Andreas were too goofy and happy to be true GTA games
>IV got it right but was too boring. Also brown and bloom
>V just had that shitty Rick & Morty Reddit atmosphere

>>9904423
Wasnt gta3 also the last one with the topdown view like in 1&2 ? I was driving earlier in gta3 in that mode and thinking damn this isnt that bad to use. (its a bit rough but fun and it zooms out enough). I dont remember that view in VC or SA and forward.

>>9904423
They wanted to put so much goddamn stuff from the previous games in 3, and I'm so disappointed we didn't get that GTA 3.

>>9904487
Yeah, I think that was the last one. I thought it was cool they included it but I never really used it desu.

>>9904520
I dont think i'd play thru the game with it and it doesnt zoom out enough imo for it to be really useful. Its fun to mess with for awhile tho. I did a few missions with it active and that was fun. Trying to do the races with it has its own pro's and cons (height and stuff can be a problem). but still fun to mess with. next time you load up 3 give it a try fora bit.

>>9904423
>IV got it right but was too boring. Also brown and bloom
IV was great fun. Oh and yeah GTA 3 totally didn't have heavy colour grading and trails. Not sure why earthen colours piss you off anyway

>>9904618
>gen7 niggers old enough to post here
sad

>>9904886
>apparently being a gen7 nigger is a prerequisite to not lie about aesthetics
sad

>>9903026
They're all I listen to

>>9904164
It makes me wistful that we all had the same childhoods

For mew it's inputting the pedestrian riot and pedestrians with weapons cheat, then speeding around while listening to Rise FM and dodging the chaos.

>>9904164
I don't remember doing it much in III, but I used to do it a lot in SA, it was pretty fun.

>>9904168
>I hate how they ruined it in IV
This was one of the very first things I tried in GTA IV. I jumped to the cargo bed of a pickup truck to try and climb to the roof, poor Niko immediately fell flat, and since the pickup kept moving, the health went down and down until dying, without even being able to move. It was so absolutely underwhelming, especially compared to Saints Row 2, where car surfing is one of the side activities.

>>9904953
They went from fun to making interactive shows/movies like everyone else, I hope they go bankrupt, Bully 2 if it ever comes out will be ass.

>>9903071
Having replayed it recently, the story itself is pretty good, plenty of missions too, but writing (as in dialogues) is fucking bad, noticeably more so than in other GTA games from that era

>>9904951
This guy blowing himself up is the first thing that comes to mind.

Never been able to figure out how to make the pc version control similar to the console version. The sticks are never setup correctly no matter what control scheme i pick, rendering the game unplayable. What am I missing?

>>9905736
https://gtaforums.com/topic/562765-ginput/

>>9905736
just get re3 and be done with it. it's what the pc port should have been from day 1. far better than trying to mod it into correction.

>>9905829
NTA but my biggest pet peeve with the Xbox mod on RE3 is that the rear of the wheels on some vehicles only displays unterxtured white and I'm not sure what to do.

>>9906049
nothing you can do unless some brave fella picks up the project

>>9881393
as other gtas received more hype and positive attention, I always knew people would return to hail this masterpiece.

>>9907135
It was bound to happen anon. Everyones gone back to all the other games a ton and nobody really seems to have gone back much to 3. its next to get a slight revive. Im playing thru it offically for the first time (trying to beat it & not just doing 10 missions and putting it away)

>>9905194
>They went from fun to making interactive shows/movies like everyone else

Kek, this delusion, Red Dead are their best games.

>>9905194
the old 3d games are the best.

>>9907278
Sure, 1 was fun, 2 I didn't bother with.

>>9907278
Anon, I don't think holding A while listening to dialogue counts as a video game

>>9903041
NO

>>9903041
Unironically RE3 with weapon/radio wheel would look 100 times better and run at 60fps.

>>9907990
>60fps
not on switch

>>9908101
RE3 is so well-optimized it can run on potato at 1080p 60fps.

>>9908120
yea sounds like you haven't actually played the switch version

>>9908151
We are talking of reverse-engineered GTA 3, right?

>>9908825
I genuinely hope Game Freak/Take 2's collab game flops.

Is there a way to enable right stick camera rotation in LC/VCS on PPSSPP or should I just emulate the PS2 versions?

>>9908956
Try asking Vita homebrewers, if they managed to make the Vita play LCS/VCS dual stick on PSP mode they can help you with an emulator.

*techno music blares*

>>9903654
about tree fiddy

>>9908956
why wouldn't the ps2 version be your default? superior visuals and no hacks to get the controls right.
if you insist on the psp version though, https://github.com/ThirteenAG/WidescreenFixesPack/releases/tag/gtavcspsp

>>9904487
Top down camera was based. Years ago I played through the whole game with it

>>9904487
yes it was the last one

>>9909658
I dont think I have the stones for that but i'll def try some missions in this view later.
>>9909664
ahh thats a bummer... tho I can see why they took it out it was probably one of the least used camera angles in 3

>>9881428
There's nothing brown or piss about this game, shut your whore mouth.

>>9910420
Especially with music/podcast on and some drinks like Red Bull.

>>9910064
>ps3 port
why, so we would end up with yet another shitty mobile port?
just play it on PC + silent patch + skygfx + project2dfx + some other mods and you're golden

>>9911269
>mobile port?
No?

GTA 3 DE coulda been great if they updated the graphics in a good way and simply added jumping out of vehicles, that's it.

>>9911413
Too bad, every new port of the PS2 trilogy is based on the mobile releases.

>>9912762
The Mobile releases were decent for their time.
GTA 3 got the XBOX models and some new textures, VC got the XBOX hands and vehicles without wheels, but removed the music, San Andreas was the worst, most details are removed, music is removed because Rockstar are hacks, and there is a bug that makes the models look broken, and became the base for the worst San Andreas release of all time.

>>9912912
and the PC got everything thanks to the modders

>>9912762
That's not what REIII is based on right? That's what I've been talking about here.

SOVL.
Too bad that aiming on ps2 is cancer.

>>9913794
If I'm not mistaken, re3 is based on the original ps2 code since that is what they were able to decompile. It was then modified to run on PC and use PC assets.

>>9893129
shitposts that misquote are a diamond dozen

>>9895580
Just drive directly to the destination after triggering the van to start moving. Then enemies won't load near the van except in the final stretch, where you have ample time to clean things up.

>>9894668
Worst is rigged to blow. Or S.A.M. if you do it the intended way. If we count side activities - Gripped is worst by a mile.
Best is the entirety of Portland.

>>9914098
I didn't mind it too much, the lock on worked surprisingly well for the amount of shooting you actualyl need to do.
It was mostly the later mission where people have M16s and can waste you in literal seconds that you need to abuse the game like creeping up until you can see their head around an obstacle etc.

I'm playing Liberty City Stories and enjoying it so far. I saw there was a 'Trash Dash' side mission and gave it a shot. It was kind of tough but got it after about 3 attempts, thinking I'd get some cool reward for it, but it was just $20K money. LAME.
I also don't know how the Used Car Dealer works, I only got to level 3 before a car got trashed.

>>9914414
I'm not sure how you're supposed to do Gripped without a guide showing you where to go.

>>9915018
I've done it naturally but I'm also very experienced with GTA III's driving mechanics

>>9914098
>>9914760
The big problem with it is that the Z-targeting doesn't work. Claude/Tommy won't actually strafe if you're running backwards and they'll end up shooting in the air.

>>9914760
I only played briefly the PS2 version, I remember Bomb Da Base being impossible for me since I was used to the PC version.
When I played LCS and I was forced to use a controller, in the "equivalent" mission where you're supposed to use the sniper rifle was Love & Bullets, I simply used lock-on instead. Going by the first result when looking for a walkthrough of the mission, it seems to be the preferred way to beat the mission.

>I also don't know how the Used Car Dealer works, I only got to level 3 before a car got trashed.
I don't remember that well, but don't you get a fresh set of 4 cars to sell at the beginning of every level?

>>9914186
Really?
The version I have is based on PC since it has the Yellow HUD and the Post-PS2 running animations.

>>9881393
how do i stop getting house texture glitches and sinking floors when i return back to island 1 to kill the mob boss? are the textures not loading right because i deactivated the loading screens between towns or is it because i straight delete a script (classic axis, so it shouldnt be graphic related) out of the files

>>9916841
The yellow HUD would be part of the PC assets as I said. Not sure about the animation data, whether that's a PC asset that was dropped in or however that works.

>Thankfully, the code for GTA 3 on PS2 and Android includes debug symbols. Debug symbols contain all the extra information needed to debug a game during the development process, but are often stripped out for release executables to avoid bloat. For whatever reason, Rockstar left these symbols in, giving the reverse-engineering team a huge leg-up.

Finished all the story missions on ps2, bomb da base was the biggest bullshit, at least on the exchange you can take your time aiming, bomb da base is just luck.
Also i'm pretty sure that game went below 5 fps on Decoy.

>>9917507
Fuck yeah I did Bomb Da Base a couple days ago. Inverted aiming and shitty joystick deadzone meant It took me like 6 tries.

I like exploring in these games and taking in the ambience much more than actually doing the missions. I wish they were more like shenmue

>>9917835
Based, one of my favorite things to do in Red Steel 2 is to wander around the East meets West world, one of the greatest Wii games.

>>9917835
I spend alot of time doing the same anon. I wish we had alot more shenmue going on and more side stuff to enjoy.

>>9918023

were there any licensed songs besides this one to get used twice?

Is there a comprehensive guide floating around on how to setup and install RE3?
Is it worth installing over standard PC GTA3 with silent patch and FX fixes?
>inb4 retard
I know, I'm retarded.

>>9919365
>Is it worth installing over standard PC GTA3 with silent patch and FX fixes?
Most fixes, if not all of them, are already implemented in RE3. The installation is a simple copy-paste thing overwritting anything it tells you.

However, I've only played vanilla without mods, so there's that.

>>9919365

If you want to use CLEO mods on RE3/REVC remember to use CLEO Redux
