There's a reason why tommy CJ Toni and Vic isn't just a rehash of movements and actions that's built of off Claude otherwise the other characters would have just been a Claude reskin with a voice which would have just been lazy. If you don't like Vic fighting styles simply do not use it dispose of the enemies in other ways but serious question is it just Vic's fighting style you hate or is it Vic himself and your just grasping at straws to try and justify your dislike for the character.

What they should have done if it was in that direction was set the game from 1967 to 1969, have it star a young Mike Toreno working for the government, and set up distant plot points for Vice City Stories, Vice City, and San Andreas (for instance, revealing that the Mendez Brothers are cousins with T-Bone Mendez, who would have a much larger role). But Rockstar not only would have never done that, but they also refused to port this game and Liberty City Stories to PC, even though these are still mainline games.

In terms of the rage-quit missions from each GTA, as bad as the train robbery is in San Andreas, I'd say it doesn't even come close to the awfulness of the remote-controlled plane mission on that rooftop with David Cross yelling in your ear the whole time lol
@Thehappymasksalesman

@goatlps 5 місяців тому
nah, it's only difficult if you fly and not drive the plane. The bombing the multi-story with the helicopter is very easy too if you take your time, which you have plenty of. I think I did it first go on a replay years later. There's ways to exploit most mission or prepare better...I don't remember a hard train robbery mission - riding with Smoke shooting at people on the roof? Just ride well and go the right way - don't panic.

The hardest mission on San Andreas, the one I struggled the most with, was destroying all those machines in the warehouse towards the end.

The only mission I even came close to rage-quitting was in GTA IV. You have to recover a duffel bag from some run-down building, and there's enemies almost around every corner ready to gank you. Had to play it a few times to memorize every possible ambush point. Even then, you inevitably soak up a few bullets trying to make any progress out.

i remember getting this game as a pirated copy for PS2, i asked the tenant who would do that thinking on getting VC, but me not knowing anything about it said "Vice City Stories" because i heard that name once. What followed is one very beautiful part of my early teen years. I keep a copy of VCS whenever i wanna play it again, despite the pain it makes me endure. And the OST, nothing but good things to say about it, VCS showed me great bands and singers that i follow and listen to this day like Allan Parsons Project, Dio, Autograph, Dokken, Phil Collins, among others.

Played VCS by an emulator from my PC. Gotta say, it was Vice City with a lot of improvements. The Empire building mechanic is awesome and it really feels like your earned your place at the food chain. The radios are absolute gems and still are among my all time favorites in gaming in general. The campaign just could have been a little better like giving Sgt Martinez more appearances other than being the classic bad guy that you will kill at the last mission, but still the Scarface feeling was much stronger in this game with the Empire building from scratch and the absolute threat that the Mendez brothers were throughout the story

My most hated mission as a child was Boomshine Blow out you know the one where you need to save the boomshine from the fire using a forklift truck. Back when me & my cousins where kids we called this game GTA Nigro.

I'll admit, I had no idea about this or LCS (never owned a PSP) until I bought a new PS2 that came with some games from off line sometime in 2012. GTA VCS was one of the games I received, and man did I have a blast playing it. Took me back to ten years earlier when I was playing Vice City non stop. Vic Vance is now one of my favorite GTA protagonists, and this game here is most definitely an underrated gem within the GTA franchise.

The most interesting thing is Vice city feels absolutely different in GTA Vice city stories, despite on the fact that the map was changed just a bit. I guess it's related to the fact that Rockstar advanced the colors in the game. What I mean is take a look at the sky, at the buildings at night, it's all look way more fancy and beautiful than in GTA Vice city. Also, it's still the best GTA in terms of fighting system, and the game has one of the best soundtrack. Highly recommend to play this wonderful game to people who for some reason didn't play it.

@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 The opportunity was to lift a person by the neck, it was really unique and fun. You could even throw the person away and he would have been hit by a car. In my opinion, this is the best combat system in GTA so far, but this is solely my opinion.

Remember getting my hands on this in 2007 when it was ported across to the ps2, and remember enjoying it for the most part. Always remember that mission with the helicopter with the big industrial magnate attached and the car you had to airlift at the end. It’s been years since I last played the game, but that mission always sticks in my head as being extremely frustrating to the point of total rage quit 😡 😤

Man, this was my first GTA game. There was this garage store that sold copied PS2 games and I picked it up thinking it was the OG Vice City (back then I didn't know there were 2 games, was surprised of playing as another character too), but it turned out to be the better choice over the better graphics, the deeper gameplay and the arguably better soundtrack.

The second PS2 game I ever owned. This game was a real fun experience from start to finish. The only mission that was painful was High wire and the only annoyance I faced when playing is the random tire popping. I believe both the PSP and PS2 version has a manual aim with all weapons, you just can't move around when you use it.

Yeah, they do. It's just the key input for free aiming mode is kinda weird (IIRC you need to hold two buttons at once) and the camera movement is too stiff and mechanical which makes precise aiming difficult unless you're trying to blow up a car right in front of you

two things about this game: 1: You can Free aim, while aiming, tap down on the d-pad and you can start free aiming. works on both PSP & PS2 2: You can recruit your gang members off the street. Lock on them and press up on the d-pad. Depending on what weapons they're holding, they can do drive-bys. It wasn't working during vigilante missions for me at least
