Title: gta3 what do you think?
Post by: coolbeaner on July 05, 2002, 11:11:46 PM
personally i think that gta3 is one of the best games on the ps2 cause its hilarious, and really fun. i cant wait for gta4, the only thing i dont like is all the triads being after you and you only have  a bat left as a weapon, it can really really suck.

i havent been able to finish the game, there is this one mission with azuka where the colombians are supposed to follow you to a place where the yakuzas will kill them, and i cant beat it cause it always says that  i didnt lure them to the trap, do you know how to do it?

Yeah, I\'ve done every set mission, I just dont remember it too well, explain a bit more and it\'ll probably refresh my memory.

GTA3 is a sweet game.......I got it about a month after it came out. I have not beat it yet but I\'m just having too much fun stealing all the cars. I\'ve played Halo and it is very weak, just like the box thingy it\'s played on.

Yeah....I\'m glad someone asked me what I thought of this over-hyped, one hit wonder, piece of crap known as Grand Theft Auto 3... Yeah...See..Yeah..I sort of thought that it was boring, unless you was easily amused (oh yay, I just had virtual sex with a hooker, oh yay). The aiming system sucked and ..Yeah...My list can go on...Yeah...

GTA3 is without a doubt one of the greatest games I\'ve ever played.  Like you said coolbeaner its fun and hilarious.

I think it\'s a great game BUT (IMO) not as good as FFX.  Just wanted to say that.

About the mission you were talking about, I just beat that last night!  When you get into the area, usually one car will make it.  That car will get destroyed and you can see the other ones circling around on the map.  Theres a ramp (going off the building) in the area where your supposed to go (the 1st one you see not the one to the right).  Take that ramp and then they should be down there still chasing you, go back up to the place where the Yakuza are (after ramping turn around, go straight, take a right, another right, and then it should be on your right) and just do that until all the cars have followed you.

well rick its the mission is to kill colombians that are in three cars, what you have to do is make them follow you to a spot where the yakuzas are located and then the yakuzas will kill them, or try anyway, and thats the way you beat it but i cant cause in the last car it always says that i didnt lure them to the trap and something like that, i dont get it

GTA3 is great. I like it because it takes so long to get boring. If I tire of a mission I just go around having fun killing people and blowing stuff up. I am glad that it finally stepped into a 3-D perspective, when the first came out I always thought this game would rock in 3-D! I think I\'ll go bash some peoples heads in with a baseball bat now (in tha game of course :) ).

I love GTA3. I love the music (which if I get sick of one station\'s music, I can simply turn to another station), I also love the veriety of missions. Granted, they all invovled either stealing cars or killing people, but even then, each mission is still unique. Also, some are pretty open ended on how you can finish the mission (like you can either try to snipe some dude from a distance or blow up his car once he tries to make his escape). Along with extra missions like taxi, vigilanty mode (playing as the cop), fire fighting, or even paramedic missions, just so much you can do in the game.

Now, best PS2 game...haven\'t played enough PS2 games to say that, but it certainly is up there.

Hang on a minute, is GTA Vice City a completely new game, or is it just an add on/expansion?

As for the mission getting the Columbians to follow you, just keep checking to see if they are keeping up with you. Don\'t go too fast so they lose you.

I found that mission to be one of the easiest.

I agree.

I was dissapointed when I purchased this poor excuse of a "Mafioso Experience." I thought it was going to be like The Godfather or The Soprano\'s. The missions gets increasingly boring as you progress. I can\'t believe they give you a time limit to destroy coffee stands, Bah! Not very gang like... Sure the coffee stands sold drugs as well, but it was a trivial mission which does not benefit me at all.

This game IMO is ok but not nearly what I think everyone is making it to be. Personally, I have a hard time sustaining interest.

The Getaway will put GTA to silence. Mark my words.

Post by: ajoh432 on July 21, 2002, 04:07:53 PM
I too find the missions boring... and you know what I do? Why I don\'t play em!

Makes the game so much more fun. Just experimenting with everything is what makes it so addicting.

GTA3 was a very good game, but there was a lot of room for improvement. The combat system needs work. I can\'t stress that enough.

DMA could have done more to make the gamer more money and reputation(criminal rating) concious. By that, I mean more things to spend money on like car upgrades, hired muscle, etc. and priviliges rewarding high reputation like domestic hit offers and having thugs come to you for work.

The supplementary income could have been done more creatively. The taxi cab, firetruck, and ambulance missions were subtle variations of the same thing. What ever happened to robbing banks? How about selling dead bodies to necrophiliacs?

True Crime: Streets of LA, will blow Getaway and Vice City away!, if you don\'t know about this game goto IGN and get some vids, this game is gonna rule.
Title: gta3 what do you think?
Post by: Event Horizon on July 28, 2002, 05:49:56 PM
True Crimes is being developed by Luxoflux, the guys most well known for Vigilante 8. V8 was an adequate car combat game, but nothing spectacular. The Getaway is going to be absolutely amazing. My only gripe with it so far is that I have yet to see a screen shot featuring pedestrians, but I\'m sure it will have pedestrians. If V8 is any indication, True Crimes will only be an average game.

GTA3 Rulez - yep there are other excellent games out there (MGS2, etc.), but GTA3 is definitely in a class of its own.  I\'m not sure sometimes how people can compare different games.  Each game, in my opinion, has its own merits.  MGS2, for example, has awesome graphics (how\'s that Harrier Jet?), but the gaming is restricted and rigid.  

GTA3, on the other hand, allows you the freedom to just shoot pedestrians, do missions, play taxi, cop, medic and fireman, all at your own leisure.  Sure the graphics sometimes go haywire - but hey, maybe its not always all about the graphics!

Take GT3 A-SPEC, awesome game, fantastic sound track, but how long can one spend racing around in a car????

My conclusion is: folks, play it and have fun!!!
