Forums - Gaming Discussion - I started playing GTA 3 again

I wasn't well the last week so I decided to boot up an old classic that wouldn't involve too much brain power. Playing the likes of battlefront 2 or rocket league online is not good for the mind when it's not fully fit! So I chose to boot up none other then GTA 3.

 

This is where GTA started for me so I'm loving this nostalgia trip. I'm surprised it's graphics aren't worse and I thought it controlled worse then it did. I've already completed about 30% of the missions so I'm flying through them.

 

Had no idea the ps4 version supported trophies. I'm delighted with that. Might even go for the platinum now. Unlike as a kid and teenager I get all the dialogue now so it's actually kind of like playing it for the first time.

 

The highlight so far has to be lazlo on the radio. Chatterbox fm I think. Holy shit that is comedy gold. And it's even funnier to me knowing the events of GTA V. 

 

Anyone else played this or the other GTA classics recently?

yeah, I went back and played GTAIII on PS3 about a year or so, ago. The only thing i had to get used to was the no jumping out of the car thing. I know the guy can't swim.... wish he could, though. But, there's nothing that screams unplayable, like tomb raider II, or something.

Haha that explains why I got wasted the minute the patriot drove off the beach into the sea lol.

I still need to play GTAIII myself, but I have heard great things about it.

I can't go back to no GPS. The soundtrack still plays in my head, though. Great stuff and the talk radio station was the best thing ever!

Honestly its still my favorite GTA game. It lacks some features but there is beauty in its simplicity.



Games are fun.

Could you expand on that? I'm curious.

 

I have fond memories of GTA 3, don't think I could put up with the graphics nowadays tho; looked amazing for its time but 3D open world graphics have improved so much that I'm not sure I can go back that far and still enjoy it.

Graphics are horrible but are not really an issue, it are the controls and gameplay that can ruin the game's experience.
