I don't remember this, where's it from?

>>386331531
It's very easy on PC.

Train

>>386331531
Just start from the top floor and work your way down

>>386331907
That mission drove me to commit genocide against the Cholos.

>>386332024
That's a stupid strategy because you don't have to fly back after setting the last bomb down.

>>386331492
I had more trouble with the fire truck and the strip club mission.

>>386331989
GTA Vice City Stories. The most underrated gta game.

>>386331937
Just land behind the trucks and shoot.

The hardest missions were from gta 3 because of the shitty controls.

There was one where you had to snipe people on the ship and protec someone and another where had to stop a car from taking too much damage while they tried to kill you.

I never finished the game as I couldn't be bothered to fight the gang wars. That shit was tedious, and a requirement for unlocking the final mission. Fuck that.

>>386332157
I'll have to check it out, vice city was my fav but never played VCS. I hope the music is still as good.

>>386332271
thanks doc

>>386332157
I'm pissed none of the other games used the Building/Businesses system

Converting half of Vice City into brothels was fun

>>386331492
Are you emulating the PSP version and using the 60fps hack? If so, disable it for that mission, the timer is tied to the framerate. I tried that mission so many times before I realized I was failing because I had half the time I was supposed to have.

>>386332271
>I didn't finish san andreas because I didn't want to!
Truely a pleb excuse

>>386331907
Fuuuuuck this.

And fuck Espresso-2-Go from III.

VCS and LCS never did get the recognition they deserve.

>>386331937
I think the problem people have with this is that they keep accelerating thus increasing speed making it hard to control, just coast and you save combustible and it's easy to maneuver.

>>386332437
Playing LCS on my psp for the first time was probably the most blown away I've been by technology.

>>386332281
The game has Phill Collins as a voiced character.

>>386332437
Tony is a top tier GTA protag for sure. I was blown away that they got a full quality PS2 game running on PSP at the time

>>386332437
VCS has the best property development of all the GTA games.

>>386332529
Fuck RC missions in general. Thank goodness HD era didn't have any.

>>386332271
I almost conquered all the territory, but ran into this weird thing where there were a couple random tiny yellow blocks left. Like, barely big enough to cover a bit of sidewalk. If I drove around randomly I could occasionally get 1 or 2 dudes to spawn but never enough to start the gang war to capture it

>>386332529
It was easy for me. I dunno why. I spend forever trying to get gold in flying school and never did, though. No Hunter for me. Hell, even just getting bronze or whatever you need to get the next Toreno mission was hard.

>>386332529
It's definitely one of the harder missions but I never found it to be as difficult as people make it out to be

All golds in driving school was much more difficult, especially the final one where you have to get through the city

>>386331531
I literally never had any trouble with this mission.

>>386332603
They were ported to the PS2 a while after the PSP releases. Shame there was never a San Andreas based stories game.

I just realised it's been 4 years since GTA 5 came out.

New one next year?

Having a very high muscle actually made CJ's running speed slower and stamina drain faster

>>386332706
I know that but the games were PS2 quality on handheld and that was neat, especially compared to the N64-lite on DS at the time

>>386332927
That's what happens when you skip leg day.

>>386332345
I did the exact same thing but with drug labs, you could upgrade them and shit too, god that game had the business thing perfect.
Meanwhile in GTA V
>you bought the golf course?
>lol you can now play golf in regular clothes
>taxi business?
>have a shitload of generic taxi missions

>>386332271
That part in Vice City where you had to grind to get money to buy the Malibu Club was a pain in the dick as well. Must be why they halved all asset prices in the mobile version.

>>386332927
wtf is dis real?

>>386333047
Yep.

Optimum is about 50-75% muscle

You really don't need the melee damage boost that badly, the better running is so much more useful

>>386331989
Vice City Stories from PSP. You should play all the PSP GTAs, specially Chinatown wars one, they are very underrated.

>>386331531

Never again.

>>386333375
last mission is pretty hard in a sense that if you fuck up (lose in the last chase by being too slow or just losing Dimitri/Pegerino) you have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN (5 minutes long trail, shootup in casino, etc)
Needed for me to do it like 5 times because I get mysteriously blown up by an rpg as soon as I got to the boat

>>386333639
After replaying it recently it still amazes me that they managed to get a game that big to run on the PS2.

I remember getting a tank and doing the vigilante missions to get cash for it. Easy money.

>>386332024
This. Always done it this way.

>>386332096
Yes but doing it that way means fewer enemies for the longer runs to the top floor and you'll still have plenty of time.

>>386331937
this and "CJ learn to fly" were pure torture on my shitty laptop.

>>386333375
Some of the scripted chases may be tough on first try. Like the one where you follow the train, and it might be confusing as to choosing the correct road and fail all the sudden, or the one where you chase the bikers and they're invulnerable until you pass a magic barrier. If you focus on shooting you can easily end up crashing and failing the mission. Or the one mission where the weed negro needs to shoot an rpg to down a helicopter, he has a lousy aim.

Missions are generally easy as fuck in IV but some of them have such ridiculous gameplay elements which may cause you to fail.

>>386333973
I recently played that mission and it actually has a bug that makes it impossible to beat. I raged so incredibly hard when I failed it a few times for no apparent reason and had to do it all over again, only to realise you literally can not finish the mission without some retarded work-around system.

>>386332003
the train is a dumb meme. i finished that shit on my first try.

The most frustrated I have ever been was doing the fire truck missions in SA because at either 11 or 12 someone would either jump down of a cliff or run up a mountain and it would be impossible to put them out. I had to do it about 9 or 10 times and it happened everytime, I never get mad at vidya but I was on the verge of tears because I thought the game was doing it on purpose.

>>386333301
CJ's max muscle is like, twice as large as that Sprinter though.

The original with Widescreen Fix and SkyGFX is still great.

Too bad unlocked framerate will forever be bugged.

I rage quit and deleted the game because of this mission no joke. Fuck that game

Is there a way to play LCS or VCS on pc?

>>386334709
idk how well they run but PSP and PS2 emulators exist

>>386331937

This mission is infamously hard but only because people were retards and didnt realize that Fuel gauge was actually a fuel gauge and not a timer. It only goes down when you gun the engine.

>>386331492
>>386331531

both of those are no problem at all if you take your time to do them properly and don't rush it. the occassional kill is probable but usually it should work

For some reason this mission in Vice City, where you have to bomb the boats with the RC plane, never comes up in these threads. But I found it even harder than Demolition Man, at least on PC

Your car has a higher top speed. Hilary just has insane acceleration.

PSP Emulators are fucking great now a days. Grab a Playstation-esque controller and it's comfy as fuck.

>>386336112
The mission is piss easy with a gamepad. Everyone is whining about mouse and keyboard, where the controls are genuinely shitty.

Checkpoint charlie
Stunt boat challenge

>>386336231

I played it on a keyboard and I had a keyboard in mind when I wrote that.
There is nothing harder on a keyboard. Not even the fact that it's a digital input, because it's not a flight sim and even on an analog gamepad you tilt the controller all the way to make turns.

>>386336252
Now those are some bullshit.

The hitboxes on those checkpoints is so small.

This mission was hard as fuck for me too, until I learned there was a boat right outside that you can escape the cops with. Otherwise escaping the cops is hard as fuck since they're all ready to ambush you right outside. But if you use the boat its easy as fuck

>>386335629
DSP?

>>386336173
PC controls are fucked for accurately flying the plane, I ended up going left to right too much so I lost speed and time, managed it a few tries later

The only mission in the entire series that ever gave me trouble was the one where you had to shoot down the toy planes with a turret in San Andreas because the controls are fucked up on console

>>386336692
It's such a cool premise, though. They even give you two handguns to go akimbo on the fuckers.

>>386332545

This was pretty much when I quit the game

I mean it was a copy that I'd borrowed from a friend that always froze up in one of the first missions after that happens and you're on the next island (One where you had to drive a combine harvest I think?) but still

What a kick in the nuts. How do people come up with such shit ideas and get paid for it

I recently watched the show Miami Vice, how much inspiration did Rockstar take from it while making Vice City? Like damn. Vice City was always my favorite but this may have elevated it more so.

>>386331492

He's Ricardo? I knew Ricardo's voice sounded familiar while watching it but I couldn't place it. Seriously, why did they take so much inspiration from this show?

>>386335751
Fuck this mission and this guy. He wasn't even needed during the heist as you had to drive anyway after his death.

>>386336040
I had a thing on my old PC where if water splashed onto the screen the whole game just fucked up, menus and HUD became incomprehensible.
I recall this missions was hard as a kid because of that reason. And also because I could not fly to save my life.
I also got stuck on the Movie Studio mission where you flew around dropping pamphlets too.
