K, I’ve been doing a replay of GTAs III, VC, and SA, as i one bought the iOS 3-pack once upon a time ago. I never had a PS 2 because my brother had one and I hated him, but I remember many hundreds of hours of running over hookers when I have a booze and coke phase about 20 years ago… and lived in Florida. It made sense, and that game was fun as fuck!
Well, I just beat it for real (actually playing the game, not just engaging in a bloodbath), and I tried to play GTA 3. Wow. That game is shit compared to VC. Storylines, gameplay, missions, etc. GTA III blows compared to VC.
I’m moving on to San Andreas, hoping it will be better.
You are making a comparison of a groundbreaking first attempt at a new type of open workd game to the later versions that improved on the model. That means the first one wasn’t trash, because you enjoyed it at the time, it just isn’t as good as what followed.
Wait, GTA III came before VC?
Yep. Also, in case you didn’t know, they made something of a port of Vice City for the PSP, called Vice City Stories (VCS).
It’s effectively the same exact map and loosely the same game, but with a different main character and totally different missions. Some changes to the available vehicles as well.
Bonus points for VCS, they added in a BMX bicycle as an optional vehicle, and you can even do some crude bike tricks on it! 👍
It’s not as much of a port as it is a spin-off / prequel.
Sorry for being pedantic, my point is that VCS is also available on PS2, so by definition it’s not a port.
No PC version though, sadly.
It’s also available on PS2? I didn’t know that!
I actually have an OG modded PSP1001, still working by the way. Guess I’m still living in the stone ages…
Or am I? I occasionally enjoy the game under the PPSSPP emulator under Linux Mint… 👍
Yes
The voice acting in NES Super Mario Bros. Was absolute shit compared to Mario Odyssey…
