  1. 1. III or Liberty City Stories

I like III, seeing as I grew up with it, it was my first GTA, my ex and I bonded over it, yada yada yada nostalgia. LCS is a close second though, if it wasn't for the annoyingly brightass visuals.

LCS was the first GTA I ever owned, so it holds a special place in my heart. III, in my eyes dosen't come close.

As much as I give III credit, I feel LCS is essentially a better version with more weapons, missions, vehicles and activities, along with the ability to wear this badass outfit...

Plus you can play it ANYWHERE you go at anytime if you own the PSP version, well at least you now can with GTA III thanks to iOS gaming.

8-Ball: I gotta place at the edge of the Red Light District where we can lay low, but my hands are all messed up so you better drive brother.

This is probably a moment EVERY GTA fan will never forget!

I heard you could fly a helicopter in LCS. Is this true? I haven't played LCS in months and I'm on right now.

I heard about that to. Either by glitches or cheats.

LCS was the first I bought but I think III is better the city feels darker and grittier and running around wtih a hired gun that pisses off every gang in the city made it fun you couldn't enter a couple areas without getting shot by a couple gangs. Those first lines 8-Ball tells Claude are legendary "I know a place on the edge of the Red Light District where we can lay low, but my hands are all messed up so you better drive, brother." Playing LCS first though made it feel weird in III when you see a fat overweight Toni and when you

 

 

Kill Salvatore

 

Even though III is better nothing can beat the opening scene in LCS getting off that bus and listening to this gem

 

Loved that theme remix

LCS was my first GTA, it's also my favorite one in the III era (as seen on my profile) love Tony, love the city and the amazing characters such as JD, Salvatore, Maria, Love, etc.

 

III is probably my 2nd favorite III era GTA so it's not overlooked by me, but if I were to choose one of those two, LCS gets my vote.

Yes. But you need modded PSP and cheat menu. It's very easy to mod PSP. You should try.

Nah nah nah Gta 6

"I know a place in the red light district where we can lay low, but my hands are messed up, so you better drive, brother"

 

Yet he can perfectly open the back door AND arm bombs on cars pretty good, I think he's just lazy.

 

Back on topic, I've never played LCS, I've heard it's the same gameplay in Vice city (same vehicles, weapons, etc.), III has that "small goon criminal" kind of charm, something that didn't happen untill GTA Online.

 

One day if I can be bothered I might pick up a used copy from CEX and play it.

III. For one obvious reason - I WON'T WORK FOR LEONES FOR THE WHOLE GAME.

They are both nostalgic games for me. I love them both, and they have a 'special place in my heart' (literally). I grew up playing the GTA Vice city to GTA LCS era, that's why I love GTA LCS so much. Its also very underrated. But GTA III? GTA III revolutionised open world sandbox. Its one of the best games of all time. So the winner IMO goes to GTA III because is just a bigger name and revolutionary.

The Other Dude

I voted for LCS because of the better gameplay and overall feel. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed both games. Their stories were amazing and the representation of New York during that period was absolutely great.

I thought LCS was good for a PSP game, but I couldn't get right into it. I got as far as Staunton Island. GTA III is simply a classic and LC felt more dangerous and un-nerving in GTA III. It felt toned down in LCS.

the ironic one

GTA III because of nostalgic memories. The first GTA in 3D, it's something unforgettable.

To me GTA III wins by just a little bit. That's why:

 

- Nostalgia: it is the first GTA i've ever seen, and at the time it was the "awesomest thing i've ever seen in the history of awesomeness" (now it's "just" awesome)

 

- sound - from the made-up music to the great echo, from the funny dialogues to the "squash" effect when you run over pedestrian, the game is just so beautiful to hear

 

- cast: fewer lines than modern games and a rather blocky appearance,but almost every character was unique and charming... plus, real celebrities doing voiceover!

 

- unfinished business: the game is highly unpolished, and some business are really unfinished, both metaphorically (mafia just disappear after the first half of the game) and literally (buildings have no roofs, dodo is way too glitchy to fly). But thanks to his roughness the game has two of the greatest "bugs" ever, the flying dod (at least R* said that he was never created to fly, but we did) and ghost town. GTA LCS just removed all of this, even the beloved dodo (you can access a fully functional helicopter, but it's not the same thrill)

 

GTA LCS comes second, but has something unique in his own way:

 

- ferries: great features and one of the "beta" features to come back (according to some source, gta III had ferries at one point)

 

- the city: while the III liberty has its charm and little touches that LCS lacks, LCS does great justice to his predecessor improving the city in every possible way. Sure, sometimes it's hard to think that a place can change so much in 3 years, and this creates litle paradoxes (the ferries docks is just a little flat land in III...did the sea ate half of the city?), but the new little italy is wonderful, and even after the explosion there are still many places that improves the original game

 

- the gore: GTA III sould have been the winner here, but unfortunately 9/11 removed some cool features like limb explosion, exploding airplanes and a couple of terroristic side-missions. GTA LCS, while still not having some of those features, cranck the gore up to eleven: slash tv, human meat, cannibalism and a HUGE-F*******G EXPLOSION that destroys buildings and kills many innocent bystanders in the middle of manhat...ehm, Staunton island. The whole game makes GTA V's controversial torture scene look like a cakewalk

I voted GTA III. All around a better game, imo. However, when you take into account the special vehicles found in LCS, LCS wins by a landslide and has almost as many as SA. I doubt anybody knows what I am talking about, though, so I'll leave it at that.

 

H/DP vehicles for the win! Only found in LCS/VCS and no other GTA games! :p

Yes. But you need modded PSP and cheat menu. It's very easy to mod PSP. You should try.

 

 

LOL....What are you talking about? Being a special vehicle collector and all, this is 100% bullsh*t. You can obtain a FP (Fireproof) Maverick in LCS without cheats/mods/CheatDevice. However, it's a PSP exclusive vehicle and can't be obtained on the PS2 version. As for PS2 users, we can get a regular non proofed Maverick from False Idols without cheats/mods/CheatDevice. Don't believe me? Video proof.
