Staunton Assassin 2,901 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) I bought so much Body Armor in my first LCS playthrough that after passing the final mission, my Weapon Budget stat was standing at $5,000+ from just buying armor.

Wayne Kerr 2,730 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I love that sound effect in San Andreas when you scroll in the menu or like when you are scrolling for different haircuts and stuff like that, makes me feel warm inside for some reason Keano, DR:BUSTA and Orthur The Boah 3 Link to post Share on other sites

billiejoearmstrong8 5,875 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Vice City sound effects are the most nostalgic for me I like how IV still has a few old-style sound effects included, just less of them and more toned down. Like the picking up money sound always reminds me of VC. I don't mind that there's less "artificial" sounds like that in V but it's shame they didn't keep some of the classic ones for when they do use them as most of the new ones are quite grating and/or unmemorable.

Carbonox 1,252 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I'm definitely fond of those checkpoint and pick-up sounds from VC. So subtle, yet so memorable from a long time ago. Also the small bits of dialogue Tommy sometimes says when picking up money. Gummy and Wayne Kerr 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that sound is horrible. As is the mission passed sound, it was so much more satisfying to hear a piece of the theme music than that clank or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites
Evil empire 2,772 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 When I first discoeverd GTA 3 I liked Double cleff FM very much and found K-Jah average. With the time passing my taste has changed and now I appreciate K-Jah much more while I find Double cleff less and less interesting. Wayne Kerr 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Staunton Assassin 2,901 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Vincenzo talks kinda funny in LCS. For example: Vincenzo: [going calm] "So from now on-" [suddenly loud] "-YOU WORK FOR ME!" or Vincenzo: [going calm] "I want you to get over to-" [suddenly loud] "-CHINATOWN!" or Vincenzo: [going calm] "Now the cops have got 'em pinned down in-" [suddenly loud] "-CHINATOWN!" // Fun fact: This is an unused dialogue from an earlier version of "Smash and Grab". I found this one in the game's files. Maybe Joe Lotruglio thought the proper nouns should be read slightly aloud during the recording sessions? Either way, his funny voice only makes LCS feel more interesting to me. Edited February 16 by Staunton Assassin AllNightLong, Wayne Kerr, DR:BUSTA and 1 other 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Americana 6,226 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 To be honest, me too. It's because I've never had a proper PC the time any Grand Theft Auto got released so I had to wait. Dudes on GTAForums posted pictures of dead Michael every day. Link to post Share on other sites
BrainDeadRaven 158 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I hate Liberty City so much I didn't even play IV.

You'd probably quite like Cardassian crime novels, then! Everyone is always guilty, it's just a matter of finding out who is guilty of what! Anyway, my confession: For like 5 years or something I believed that there wasn't actually a proper military in GTA V and that Fort Zancudo was run by Merryweather. Considering I know some of the most useless GTA trivia, the fact I didn't realize that after 1500 hours of playtime is quite embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites

DR:BUSTA 2,264 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Replaying GTA VC is hard ASF for me This game was literally my childhood I had multiple versions of it and my PC was full of different modded versions of it so my entire childhood was dedicated to playing GTA VC and even all of my friends had VC and played it (they also had SA but never touched it and I kept telling them about all of the features in the game so we can play it but they didn't like how the protagonist looks like an alien) anyways I first played it when I was four years old and kept playing it for all the next years during holidays I only play VC , during school I play VC when I finish my homework so I have tons of memories with it and as soon as I open the game and see an area or anything all of the memories from this area starts regaining and I start having a headache and also the amount of nostalgia that I get from this game makes me want to rip my guts out BrainDeadRaven and Zello 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tell me if you still have the "desire to rip my guts out side effect", a secondary rx of some heavy indica might also be in order... Vice City I think has that trap easier because theirs less options, smaller map, so more consistency from one play to the next to really burn that sh*t into your brain. Tested it, and can still get to Cortez's boat in my head, and remember if I keep going down the dock there's the PCJ-600...and I haven't revisited that game in at least a decade lol. billiejoearmstrong8, IS90, Staunton Assassin and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Evil empire 2,772 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Everytime I make a vigilante or firefighter sub-mission in GTA 3 I use mini commander to empty the streets, I do the same in San Andreas because it makes the job much faster and easier. I would love to have a mod with the same feature in Vice City. When I go in Saint Mark's to kill Leones I oftenly use mini commander so they only have their fists to fight, it's my revenge for the years they spent annoying me with their shotguns. Even if I could do the same with the other gangs as well I have a preference for the Leones probably because seeing them attack as a group with their bare fists reminds me of a sequence I saw one day on TV about the calcio storico and because their look reminds of the Matrix movies by the way.
