Try and get the Platinum for Vice City - I wish you luck! Was a pain at times, particularly those ridiculous Criminal Rating trophies that absolutely require lots of dull grinding.
'Vice City' was my favorite one as I grew up, before 'GTA IV' overtook it as my favorite game - not just in the series, but of all time.
Killer soundtrack. Too many instances where I'd be parked by a mission marker, but would take a few minutes to finish a song on the radio. Every GTA seems to have a killer, memorable soundtrack, even 'GTA V' (which I've grown to love and appreciate more over the years. Wasn't crazy about it upon release.)
I remember playing GTA IV Online with a friend, and me driving as fast as possible to avoid some players attempting to kill us, just so we could finish 'Evil Woman' by ELO.
The lovely Pam Grier makes it all the more better! That was the one I settled on after a while, a ton of hits to be found and enjoyed.
I still remember the good old days where I'd just drive around Liberty City listening to Lazlow's talk show, crying endlessly listening to his hilarious skits and bits. Rockstar create such amazingly vibrant worlds full of personalities, attack ads and fake news stations, and I don't mean to exaggerate by saying that the writing of these games is some of the greatest social satire and intellectual parody I have ever experienced as a consumer of entertainment. The world of the GTA universe is almost frighteningly too much like our own, and that blur between fiction and reality that the games create is jarring but perfectly tuned.
Another positive with returning to the older games after a decade plus is all the adult humor I managed to miss out on as a kid; the tiniest of jokes that definitely flew over my head.
@Creasy47, absolutely. I think GTA was one of the factors that made me very liberal and open-minded early on, because I saw all kinds of different people from every walk of life being joked about, and the games make the case that nothing is off limits. I learned not to take myself or others too seriously, and that's serviced me a lot in the past.
Anyone who wants a laugh and doesn't mind some dark humor really should give this radio station of Lazlow's circa GTA IV a listen:
I've rarely laughed so hard at something before, despite how many times I hear it over and over again. No matter how long I live one of the things I'll never forget is Lazlow ranting at an immigrant Mexican hot dog guy for telling him how rough he had it, making fun of him for how he had to survive childhood by milking his grandmother like "some kind of tear cow." :))
Assaults the hot dog vendor then maniacally laughs and sprints from the cops.
"I don't wanna learn about tofu, I wanna lean how to kick peoples asses."
So you must have a Titan X in your system, because I know my PC would die running such a demanding game.
You must have to douse your cpu in more liquid nitrogen than Boris Grishenko.
Indeed. I like Windows Hearts too.
I love Minesweeper. Simple enough to get into at any time, complex enough to hold one's attention.
Welcome back, 47, especially after that unfortunate business in 2012. Why couldn't this have been the 5th game, and not that sorry mess that was Abomination? I have played through Paris, Sapienza, Marrakesh. I have played a little of Bangkok, I was going to continue, but at the time, the server was down (I chose not to continue offline) . So far, this is giving Blood Money some serious competition in my Hitman ranking.
Lovely stuff, glad someone else is getting into this. Sapienza and Bangkok are likely my two favorites of those maps - Marrakesh was probably my least favorite. Colorado isn't too bad, but it's pretty tough, and Hokkaido is so amazing. Enjoy!
That's how the former felt for me. Past the headmaster's school and the embassy, it was just mass alleys of NPC's and not much else. Felt like the level with the least amount of variety, I'd say. Colorado is pretty generic, too - large, nothing too unique about it, but damn, is it challenging.
Those types of moments have happened to me plenty of times. Conveniently enough, the FINAL Elusive Target for this season is live now, and will likely be around for the next seven to ten days, if you'd like to tackle it. Shame that you've just now gotten it and only have one single ET to enjoy, but it's better than nothing! I can only assume they're done now because they're likely gearing up for season two.
