GTA 3

It looks and plays like absolute shit. Both San Andreas and Vice City are infinitely superior.

>>383341471

I think, while its recognized as influential, its quality is underrated. Its atmosphere is still among the best in gaming: its gloomy and grety, but oddly comfy at the same time, and the city has a surprsiing amount of detail. The missions are also leaner and more fun compared to the other gmaes.

The single most revolutionary game of our lifetime. Actual 10/10

>>383341736
Vice City has the inferior map though.

>>383341471
It hasn't aged well and GTA VC/SA are superior in every way but it was a pretty big deal back in 2001 and really ground breaking. There was nothing like it at the time or at least executed as well, it was a huge improvement over Rockstar's (DMA Design at the time) previous open world game Body Harvest on the N64 which suffered a lot just from the hardware limitations.

As in Liberty City > Vice City

You don't like games. You like pretty pictures.

He's one of those consolefags that beg for remasters.

Oh this.

GTA3 on a foggy day reminds me of Silent Hill. And with the voice of NPC resonating weirdly, it's like the voices in Claude's psychopathic head.

I played it a year ago at the start of a complete GTA replay.

It played exactly as I remembered. It was great to see the old places and characters. Those dead streets and fog were key to the atmosphere back in the day. I love that ps2 era 3d world design that gets the scale all wrong.

>replaying just today
>get to Love's Disappearence
>that sudden mission complete

Does anyone want to explain what the hell that was?

They needed a cutscene to explain that the character wasn't going to be in the game anymore, and didn't have an actual mission to go with it.

Presentation is important.

And it's not just the graphics. Compare the difference between roaming the overworld in GTA 3 and GTA 5.

>Definitely did not stand up to the test of time.

Yes it did, you fucking faggot.

PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT

OP here.

I think the problem with 3d is that it gets outdated too quickly. Kind of like with CGI in the Star Wars prequels. I can play Mega Man classic and not have a problem with the graphics, but when I play GTA 3 the older graphics stick out like a sore thumb

this.
It has a certain feel to it that makes the city come to life
I personally turned the trails (motion blur) off, but a lot of people played with it on. I always thought it looked better off.

>>383341471
is the steam version total shit like VC and SA?

AND WE GON GIIIIVE IT AAAAAALL THAT WE GOOOOOOOOT

I bought the trilogy on sale on PS4 back in December. San Andreas will always hold up because it's that good. I was never really much of a fan of Vice City but I guess I enjoyed it.

GTA and GTA2 was when I first started playing the series. The first thing I noticed when I played GTA3 2 months ago, was that you get a SHIT LOAD of money for completing missions. I don't know if GTA SA and GTA IV ruined me or what, but I don't ever remember getting shitload of money like that when I originally played GTA 3. Or maybe it was because I was so used to just putting in cheat codes and wrecking havoc that I never paid attention to the money? I mean even the missions in Vice City give you a shit load of cash. You don't start making any real money until you unlock the final island in SA and IV.

Yes! Let's talk about this. It is the last GTA game with original music and I love it. KISS FM for life that Y2K feeling.

The very first song that plays on the radio when you start the game is pretty cool.

>>383346661
originally the mission to explain his absence after that involved a plane crash, but then 9/11 happened
