Does anyone else still carry this little gem around in their heart? It feels really special to me.
That retrofuturistic world with all the crazy characters, jobs, radio stations and general tone is just wonderful and lots of fun. The controls may be something you have to get used to but even they are fun for me.
I only played the shitty PSX version for many years of my late childhood, only in my later teens did I get back at it and tried the PC version for the first time and boy was it a difference.
It only made me love this game even more. It's so simple, neat and nicely packed.

So what's your opinion on this game? The first one can be discussed too of course, but I only played it once after GTA2 and never liked it, too crude.

By the way, I remember playing it about two years ago but I didn't have to change my TV to 16 bit colors like I have to now in order to play the game. Is there any fix for that?

Certainly not in the way the first ones were. Crime Drama Story fits it more I guess.
That again is the simplicity I love about GTA2. You're just some lousy crook who wants to make big money and fast. No family, no personal friends. Just you, money, gang bosses, their respect and the cops.

Playstation version is superior for a single playthrough anyway. Some of the kill quotas in missions are shorter, making the game a lot less tedious.

And yes, that is important. You can tell they started to run out of ideas for missions because some of them repeat themselves as the game continues.

[Anonymous No.5169495]

Very neat game, dreamcast version is awesome as well. I'm surprised there isn't more of a cult following behind this considering the wild success of the GTA3+ but you know millenials and onwards and how they think of 2D. I agree exactly with you about the first one - it was just a bit too crude while this one was perfect, that's it. There's just something different about the 2D world here that in some way makes it fun at least for variety. Hey maybe there should be a new 2D GTA game in this style or even an updated style, but has to be 2D, a kickstarter or something.

The only things I haven't done is pass all the Kill Frenzies and gather all the GTA2 signs.

It was also full of artwork like pic related, a SWAT cop with the electro baton that was in the beta version. Sadly I can only find a few pictures from that book. I really wish I still had it, it was really nicely made up.

Any immersion is immediately killed when the cops appear and can find you everywhere. It ruined every GTA for me from a later perspective.

Aww yeah, GTA2. I've played PS1 version first. Years later I got it for PC when it was available for free on Rockstar's website. I remember being blown away how much better lightning and effects were. It also had multiplayer, which was somewhat fun. Anyone else tried it?

Not the Loonies, I just finished their missions. Sure does sound like one hell of a mission though. I was having trouble with one of the last Zaibatsu missions I'm on right now,
had to destroy two or three special armored Yakuza cars but nothing I did would destroy them. Found out you can only get them with car bombs.

Never tried multiplayer though, but I recently watched some videos and it looked pretty fucking wild and fun.

That would make sense, no idea why I didn't try that one in the past. I just kept trying to ram them, which is fool's errand. If I recall correctly the mission is timed, so no way in hell can you do it by just smacking those cars around.

>Never tried multiplayer though, but I recently watched some videos and it looked pretty fucking wild and fun.
It kind of was.I even took part in some "gang ladder" organized by a small community, where everyone chose one of the in-game gangs to represent. They organized some duels and team matches between members of different gangs. I was in Rednecks. Fun times.

Amyway, rocket launcher sniping was more or less "meta". To be fair, all weapons that weren't rocket launcher, zap-gun, flamethrower and maybe molotovs were useless.

Yeah, you get around five minutes to blow up two cars. The mission ended up being rather easy, the first car spawns right around the corner of a garage so you can hit the target and quickly get another car to rig up.
Was kinda lost myself when I emptied my rocket launcher and then my flamethrower at it but nothing worked.

I also just realized that I have to start over because I'll miss the last mission which only triggers if you did every mission of every gang in Downtown.
I started a new game after I finished all missions for a gang so I don't have to put up with that big ass arrow all the time. I should've just burned all the money by saving the first time around. Oh well.

That gang ladder multiplayer thing sounds pretty fun but I was never quite a fan of multiplayer games.

>Penal Ties is the prison mission, right?
Yeah, exactly. The guards seemed to be at different places every time, except for one right after getting the cop uniform and gun.
Really fun mission though, I wish I made a video of the cops nailing you as you enter the Billy Bean Liquor car, some gorgeous play with the lighting there.

Also what the fuck is with the Arachnid car? You can push bank vans around like they're toys, drive full speed and no car will stop you until you go up in flames.

[Anonymous No.5183489]

This thread inspired me to give this game another go.
I'd forgotten how much fun it is to do the Loony missions, which is what I decided to start with. Blowing shit up left and right. Radio stations. Pizza places. Cop stations. J-Lab. The latter GTA's don't quite capture the insane mayhem as well as this game. I have to admit that GTA 5 is far superior cruising game if all you want to do is drive around, listen to the radio and watch stuff drift by.

The first map really was a lot of fun. I had two whole radio stations I liked, the Loonies were just great as a gang. In the second map I have Taxi Drivers Must Die and maybe two other songs I like.
The comfy downtown setting with the crazy gangs was a good contrast.

>>5183523
I tried the mission multiple times with different approaches, I just couldn't nail it.

I had a 5 minutes demo I played to death. You could do anything, finding the tank included, but the game closed after 5 minutes. I think I played it more than the full game that I got just some years after.

Camera zooms in and out too fast when stopped, so when hitting traffic, it can change height like crazy. Plus, the game really lacks minimap, strafing and/or mouse control. Hotline Miami scheme would be ideal, and IIRC it was already implemented in the likes of Take no prisoners and Mageslayer.
Looking back, i shouldn't have called those big flaws.

I remember my dad took me to target to get gta1 and a dualshock controller for ps1. We saw that there was a gta2 so he bought me that instead. I still have both. And this is still my favorite gta.

>strafing and/or mouse control
this lack is intended though. it imposes realistic vulnerability on the player. implementing these features would make the player ridiculously powerful compared to the other characters.

>minimap
completely unecessary as the game encourages you to memorise landmarks and using them to navigate. a minimap would only serve as unrealistic handholding.

[Anonymous No.5190027]

>>5188441
>minimap
Besides what you mentioned, I find it very easy to memorize the maps. At least the first two, haven't been to the industrial district yet.
Thought the residential area would be hell to memorize from looking at the map, in downtown you had that big ass street rectangle right in the middle which helped a lot but nothing of that kind in residential.
But no problem after a few missions.

pc version even had multiplayer, would play it a lot with my friend irl
also yeah i liked london 1969 a lot but gta2 is easily the best one and it would be nice to have a top down view spiritual successor.

The announcer in GTA2 gives me some interesting vibes. The way he announces your actions and the applause on your entrance and mission success creates a futuristic TV show feel similar to Smash TV. I guess this ties neatly with the implied 'very-near-future-dystopian' aesthetic.

Love the game. 3 and onwards just doesn't feel the same, the exception being Chinatown Wars, which feels more like old GTA than not.

So what Mods are good for this? It's been years since I played this so I've forgotten with age. Was it much of a mod scene? I vaguely recall liking those level mods that were just giant islands with ramps and shit where you'd just jump tanks and cars.

I was looking for something too but only found maps, vehicle replacements and so on. Would've loved something like running around as Doomguy in a Doom style map with demons or whatever.
