Underused Vice City locations

[fastest boat]

What area of Vice City would u have liked more missions or any missions at all? I wud have liked to see prawn island used more or the Hyman a bit more varied.

[Justin]

Leaf Links Golf Course. I'd have liked to have mass-golfer bashing missions.

 

The beach could have been utilized a bit more, too. The whole east side of the map is practically covered in beach, which isn't used for anything much at all.

 

So probably the far coastal regions. The edges of the map weren't really used at all.

[Demarest]

The airport and the tunnels at the airport. Like Fuzzy said, all the edges were largely neglected.

[trickster]

Definetly Leaf Links. They could of at least put in a golfing rampage in there... it would of been fun to whack people with a golfball or something.

[Statico]

What those two said.

[Drizz]

Lighthouse, such a cool place. ))

 

Offices used more too. I'd like holding hostages there, shooting police waves coming at me, then Lance comes with a heli, I jump in it and we go somewhere... )) - Dri'z Up.

I would have liked to see the Miami Bank building to be used more.

Have you played CyQ's VC Tetris mod?

[Drizz]

Nop. What's up in it?

 

You got a link? - Dri'z Up.

[Cheatah]

What everyone said previously.

 

Downtown offices could have had more use.

And the other half of Starfish Island could have had some use.

 

This is a good topic.

 

But it's funny even with the stuff we are mentioning for Vice City how much MORE was really really missed out on in San Andreas.

The original link gets redirected. Try PMing him and urging him to release it (if he hasn't already uploaded it to the garage).

You make a good point there. It would have been great to have had the actual offices and such freely available to explore outside of the mission 'G Spotlight' (I think this is the only time you can enter them). In fact, having the interiors of any other buildings available would have been a plus. That was always a factor that I thought would be largely improved on in San Andreas. Perhaps the next GTA on the PS3 will allow for more of that.

 

I also agree with the comment about San Andreas. The map was absolutely huge, but half of it was largely neglected. It did add to the realism, what with having large expanses of desert and unused country, but it certainly would have been nice to be able to utilize the area a bit more.

[Reich]

They didnt use a lot of the good locations. the ones i can think of are the beach, airport and the 3 smaller islands..

[Holmes]

I thought the Hotels could have been great for usage. When I saw Ocean Beach screenshots I thought "Brilliant! Drug deals and shoot outs in the restaurants, bar and rooms!" but only a save place was given.

[narain]

Definately the Airport. There should have been at least 2 missions in it. They could have allowed Tommy to fly an aircraft with passengers to a new island, make a cut scene of its landing at that island and then again come back.

[spaceeinstein]

There is a pier east of the army base that I have never seen before until after 6 months of playing Vice City. I was like "Whoa, I've never seen this place before". That pier is so pointless that it can be deleted from the game and not much people would notice it. I have been to that pier less than ten times in my life.

[Holmes]

Okay, you're probably bored of these places now, but I have a personal list.

 

1. The V-Rock Radio Building

2. The Golf Course

3. The Hotels

4. The Police Station

 

Anybody have any more?

[Knife]

1. The V-Rock Radio Building

That was used for at least 3 missions

 

I would say the army base. Just think its an intresing place. Maby the airport too

[Holmes]

I mean the inside. You know, like wandering round Mad Dogg's crib and seeing all the recording equipment, maybe even a glimpse of Lazlow.

[dr. hobo]

mad dogg was not in vc. besides he raps, so what would he be doing in somewhere called VROCK?

[Justin]

He was comparing Vice City to San Andreas. Not confusing the two.

 

In San Andreas you could walk around Mad Dogg's place and see all the equipment and interiors and such inside his crib. In Vice City, you couldn't even go inside, let alone see anything. Whether or not Mad Dogg would have featured on VROCK is immaterial.

[Holmes]

Thank you Fuzzy Juzzy I almost had to defend myself to a meaningless argument there with something that should have been obvious to dr. hobo.

[Wreqwfa]

i wish they used the tallest building in VC for side missions and.......the beach for swimming competitions....oh yeh Tommy cant swim

[Holmes]

the beach for swimming competitions....oh yeh Tommy cant swim

 

Mmm... a fact I found out the hard way.

 

I would have also like to have seen Prawn Island used more. Yeah, okay, the film studios and Phnom Pehn 86 were there, but I wanted tight and dangerous shootouts and chases there.

[D-Angle]

Definitely the airport, very underutilised, and should have had more planes and choppers available. Also, there are some very gloomy looking docks on the westernmost side of the map, near the junkyard, which have a very good atmosphere.

So probably the far coastal regions. The edges of the map weren't really used at all.

the beach is also used very little but the golf course is a giant waste of space

i would have liked to see a few more missions to do with the course...i have no idea what the missions could be but it would have been good to see more.

[magiclive]

is there a swimming mod available for vice city?

Golf never gets the respect it deserves.

[skAWPion]

the shopping mall could have been bigger and contained more people, much like state of emergency. another good rockstar game
