At the rate /vr/ has been going in regards to GTA 3 recently in a year or two the trend will be that GTA3 was nothing special, sucked and nobody actually played it. Luckily those who say that do it very openly so it is easy to spot them and ignore them for the fools they are. if you were there and played it when it came out you understand why the game went mega and why it is one of the most important games ever made.

A lot of GTA games are really annoying to replay just because of a couple of missions, every game has their really annoying missions that just makes you not want to play the game anymore. I think they were aware of this and on subsequent GTA games they just turned everything into a piss easy shooting gallery and brought the whole thing down just to make sure no one got filtered

Do the later GTA games let you replay old missions? At one point I was going to make multiple saves for SA to let me go back to old missions that were fun to play, but my saves kept getting corrupted despite zero cheat usage.

Yeah I see what you mean desu. To me the GTA games only have one thing that they do well, which is letting you go on rampages and then try to outrun the police/military or just see how long you can last against them and go out in a blaze of glory. And that is fun, don't get me wrong, but it gets old pretty quick because the rampages can easily blur together and everything else is either mediocre or just pointless.

>missions
Can be sorta fun but the early 3D games had really shitty combat especially on controller which didn't even require you to aim half the time, and the later ones added a bunch of borderline uninteractive missions where you just drive to a place and watch a cutscene or operate a fucking forklift or some gay shit like that.
>races
These are okay I guess.
>collectables
Sure it's something to do, whatever, but I feel like barely anybody really cares about this stuff.
>minigames like gambling, yoga, tennis etc.
Has nothing really to do with the core mechanics or appeal, minigames are mediocre at best and at worst don't even seem to be meant to be fun.
>Hanging out with other characters
Can have some fun dialogue but come on this is barely interactive.
>Watching TV etc.
Not interactive at all, you can just watch this shit on youtube.
>Fucking prostitutes
Basically just exists for horny preteens to giggle at, except they've all seen way worse shit online now so it's not even fun for them now.
>pimping your ride or whatever
From what I can tell this is basically just to let you live out your gangster LARP fantasy, maybe other people disagree but for me I feel like the only thing that matters to gameplay is the nitro.
>getting money/buying safehouses
Who the fuck cares, none of this shit does anything.

This series has one good mechanic that gets old quick, some mediocre missions and then just pads itself out with pointless shit nobody cares about.
