CJfan9204 5 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hey all, I'm new to these forums and I recently got more into the GTA series after a got a PS4 last year. I've beaten GTA 5, so I downloaded the older GTA games for fun. Nobody told me GTA 3 was going to be THAT hard. Bloodthirsty gangs who wield powerful weapons (looking at you, mafia), missions that barely give you enough time, hard targets to shoot, the lot of it. Still a great game, and a beautiful transition not just for Rockstar, but gaming in general, but damn... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Yinepi 1,447 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) GTA1 and 2 were harder. But 3 has its hard moments. It's classic gaming so yeah it's going to be harder than the newer stuff. Edited December 25, 2020 by Yinepi 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Payne 112 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Don’t think I’d have a hard time now as I completed it a lot of times but maybe they were hard at first. Edited December 25, 2020 by Payne Link to post Share on other sites
lolleroz 249 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Thing with old GTA games is that they're way harder to play on controllers. If you play on PC you can basically shoot enemies before they can shoot you at all times which kinda ruins any sense of difficulty. But even with that, gta 3 is def the hardest GTA game, alongside Vice City Stories IMO. The M16 which is basically like a minigun, the inability to jump out of cars on fire, inability to shoot through windshields etc and some missions that seem simple but actually require you to be fluid at the game i.e Salvatore's assassination, can make for a frustrating experience especially for (no offense) zoomer players. Nothing can beat Vice City Stories with sharks rolling up in a van and just obliterating you with driveby though 1 Link to post Share on other sites

vcfan1991 49 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Well I completed Driver 2 and that's hard with a capital H. GTA3? Easy street... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jeansowaty 6,054 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Naaah, GTA3 is piss easy. On the other hand, SA's flying missions are just godawful. Hardest GTA is London 1961, second is GTA1's Vice City chapters. GTA2 also had its fair share of hard stuff, like Murder at the Mall or Tanks-Giving. The Residential area is harder to me than the Industrial one 😐 Edited December 25, 2020 by Jeansowaty 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DR:BUSTA 613 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 After playing it a lot it's easy asf The hardest in the 3D Universe and HD universe would be VCS 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Payne 112 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Not really hard but when i fail a long ass mission and have to start again from the beginning, i just turn it off. I didn’t feel San Andreas’ flying missions were hard. Link to post Share on other sites

GhettoJesus 1,921 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 It's not? I agree III provides more of a challenge than most other GTA games but saying that it's hard isn't true at all in my opinion. Of course "hard" is subjective but we can view it somewhat objectively. Obviously I get that there is a certain jank that players of IV or V experience when transitioning back to 3D era games (especially III and VC) but it's still a fair game which honestly isn't hard if you learn the (not too many and obvious) ropes of the game Link to post Share on other sites
Black Handkerchief 0 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 gta 3 is the most brutal gta in gta 3D era also, all of liberty city gangs are towards against you after you finished all the missions (including payphone icon missions), except yakuza and shoreside hood Link to post Share on other sites

vcfan1991 49 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Tbh I think overall San Andreas is the most difficult. If we're counting 100%... Gold in car/boat/flying licenses, all the collectables. The train mishin, that other mishin where you forklift the crates out of the burning warehouse while getting attacked. All the stupid minigames scattered around. All adds to the overall tediousness of it. So San Andreas would be my choice of most difficult. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

OH76 146 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Nah, from what I've played, San Andreas is the hardest. The goddamned missions Zero had to offer were so difficult. III is a close second. Link to post Share on other sites

But in SA, after finished the game, only ballas who will instantly attack you in their turf, but their weapons are average In gta 3, almost all gangs in the town will attack you after finished the game (including payphone mission), especially that jerk mafia with their instant death weapon pump up shotgun Link to post Share on other sites
