Zello Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It was an odd choice to not have swimming especially coming out a year after San Andreas which had swimming. Don't start with the LC water is contaminated anyway so you can't swim. I'll let you know that I would drink that water.

It sure was. I heard LCS was based off of VC's engine so maybe they didn't tinker too much with it for their first attempt on a GTA on that scale on PSP and improved on it later with VCS On 7/15/2020 at 6:11 PM, Zello said: Don't start with the LC water is contaminated anyway so you can't swim.

Crankster Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 It may have been feasible with liberty City stories to actually implement swimming into the game just like the unobtainable mavericks as this time it was using a heavily modified vice city engine, just like vice city stories. Also given the liberty tree articles regarding the oil spillage evaporated into the water fluids throughout liberty city in GTA 3; one may assume why such mundane things aren't present in either of the 3D liberty city games. To link it back to the question of was it necessary or was really tempting to add such feature, I am personally fine without it in LCS, as there was only like one mission that utilized boats and you only needed to stop at a corona, in which if you completed the cutscene of delivering the boat of weapons to phill; you will spawn on the road adjacent to the Staunton ferry. Now lets thank the lord that there are none of the hidden packages placed really close to sea level. universetwisters and A8ul99 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/958600-not-adding-swimming-was-a-bad-idea/#findComment-1071336489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamasen Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I think LCS was more an immature/unoptimized game when released, you can tell by the fact that helicopters exist, but can't be used because they didn't have time to model the roofs of all the buildings. VCS was all the stars aligning in terms of optimisation and functionality, even better than GTA:SA in some instances.

vcfan1991 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Swimming would be pointless - nothing to do, nothing to see. LC has no mystery islands to explore. The map is all land-based. If I wanted to swim I'd buy a darn pool pass irl and play in the chlorinated water, glancing in shock at the naked old men in the changing rooms walking around nonchalantly. universetwisters 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/958600-not-adding-swimming-was-a-bad-idea/#findComment-1071437388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Payne Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Well, I’ve been collecting some hidden packages lately and the the thing is, it’s not about swimming. It’s the dumbass insta WASTED screen as soon as you touch the water. Also there aren’t many boats around the city which makes it harder to explore it through sea.

LeatherJacketSoldier Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 You know, by swimming, someone could reach the other islands early and get all of the packages. There could have been a development "error", like in GTA III, in which you could access Staunton Island and then Shoreside Vale by jumping from one girder to another in the wrecked Callahan Bridge. That way, I got all packages right after the first mission (learning how to fly the Dodo, and accessing the other safehouses), and could complete paramedic missions in Staunton (I had to cheat by setting to 0 the damage of the guns the Cartel use, because they were giving me an annoying hard time). So, not giving swimming capabilities to Toni was indeed a very bad idea, in my opinion.

handy_fox Posted August 19, 2024 Share Posted August 19, 2024 I've been browsing this site for some time and this thread(?) made me decide to make an account. I've also been working on a Head Radio mod that I didn't know if I wanted to publish or not. I'm still not sure about that. Sorry about resurrecting an old thread. I'm stuck at 99% in Liberty City Stories and during my journey swimming would have been amazing. All of the times I fell in the water trying to do a unique jump [especially the one by the stadium]. Landing in the water and being able to move while it drained your health would have been great. It's just falling in the water and being so close to the edge but not being able to move and watching your health drain thinking about losing all of your equipment and then reluctantly loading a save 3 jumps prior is just irritating. Eh, but not that much of a deal breaker. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/958600-not-adding-swimming-was-a-bad-idea/#findComment-1072422249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2024 Share Posted September 6, 2024 it would have been nice to have swam in liberty city stories. its not because the water is bad, its because they 1, dont want you swimming off to the other end early (but in vice city stories you get pushed backwards in water, so why not), and also because in 3, they didnt have the good enough tech to actually get you to swim... think they admitted to that one time? who knows, but it would have been nice Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/958600-not-adding-swimming-was-a-bad-idea/#findComment-1072428397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
