    Thanks for +10 million views on this whole channel ladies and gentlemen! Should I RE-REVIEW Grand Theft Auto 2, III, & Vice City? I think I can make better videos of those games... and it gives me an excuse to re-play them again, haha.

      Hi ColourShed, I just went through all of the Gran Turismo videos, and they made me so nostalgic! I loved 1&3A-Spec particularly because I still have them since I was 4 years old. Anyway, do you think you could do a review of GT Sport? I don't currently own it and I'm thinking about buying it.

    This game was the shit when I was 8 years old, proper nostalgia seeing this. It's funny I liked a lot of the things you complained about. I liked the feel of the cars, just watching this I can remember the feel of each of the different types of vehicle. Stealing and selling the cars was awesome as well. Love the music in the game Aswell. If this was before your time then it's probably best to avoid it

    As a longtime GTA fan, I started out with GTA 3 and Vice City and everything afterward.
    However, when I got my first computer I was obsessed with looking up everything about the franchise, from screenshots to beta trailers and game mods, and I still look up the official fan Wiki on occasion. That is when I first discovered how it all started and even downloaded demos to GTA 2 and Midnight Club II, before playing those titles in full.
    While it may feel janky and clunky compared by today's standards, there's a certain charm to it.

      Matthew Cool I started with San Andreas. Which is by far my favourite, but that could be nostalgia talking.
      But I was happy to find the “three pack” on the PS store and got the first three GTA games and you’re right. By today’s standards they’re a bit jerky (even SA is not as smooth control wise.) But there’s this sort of old school charm to them.

    • @mattc2306
      @mattc2306 4 года назад +1

      @@someonerandom8552 I remember being hyped for San Andreas by way of reading various Game Informer magazines and catching tv spots with that kickass Guns N' Roses song in the background.
      And to put it bluntly, it blew my expectations out of the water and then some.
      And sure, while the PS1/PS2 GTA titles may feel a bit janky compared to IV and V, I still find enjoyment out them. Particularly when it comes to the music, where Vice City and its prequel Vice City Stories being my favorite soundtracks.

    • @someonerandom8552
      @someonerandom8552 4 года назад +1

      Matthew Cool I think I randomly played SA because at the time, that was like the most rebellious thing ever, at least that’s what younger me thought lol! A violent video game corrupting my precious little mind, so said all the media around me. And GTA especially got most of the ire. I even got multiple versions of SA through the years. First was a gift for my clunky old af PC. But that broke down years later so I had to seek out another version. Got the 360 version. Which isn’t a good version admittedly, but it was better than nothing I thought. Nephew broke the disc. Le sigh.
      I was so happy that I was able to get it on the PS store for my PS4. Thank the gaming gods!
      I love the stories for Vice, IV and SA. I mean I still curse at certain missions due to clunky controls. But man, those games are stone cold classics imo.
      And I agree with you about Vice’s music. I think I slightly prefer the SA soundtrack, but that could be because that was the “badass” soundtrack lol
      Well as kids that’s what we all thought, anyway haha

      Matthew Cool By the way, what’s your thoughts on GTAV? I feel like everything is there for me to love it. The graphics are nice, controls are smooth as silk, the characters are amusing and the satire is typical Rockstar. But I find myself playing Red Dead 2 far more often than V.

    To bad you review this as if it were a game released today. GTA was great when it was released, the lack of tutorials, not knowing the map and where missions would bring you to. The wonky driving 'physics', difficulty of dying easily and all that. Was part of the magic this game offered. There was nothing like it and it was new territory within gaming. This game made the franchise and it was one of the most popular games of its time.
    Also the LAN functionality was amazing for LAN parties or that one classroom in the schoolbuilding with computers.

    Completed it on PC when I was 13 or so. Loved all the flaws You mentioned, because I found it a touch of "realism" at the time. In real life it is difficult as well to fit a trailer into small garage. + Inertia after quitting the vehicles, + trick to look it like 3d while being 2d game, + intro's of the bosses.
    Easiest way to beat the game was to not fail any mission, which adds up the bonus multiplier. In that regard 14-15 successful missions in row let's U reach the finishing score.

    Never had any desire to play this. All the footage I ever saw of it made me think " Looks like you don't see nearly enough of the screen at once to be able to play", and you confirmed that. Still have no desire to play it, but they sure did get things right later on.

    Just played it. All I can say really is that you’ll really like it at first but end up despising it immensely after playing for 2 or 3 hours. If all you’re planning to do is mess around in the map then nothing should bother you besides getting used to the controls which can be rebinded at any time. HOWEVER, if you actually plan on actually completing the game, then you have to have 150% patience and dedication cause you’re going to need it.
    Oh yeah something I feel that will help out to new players is debug mode which gives you the ability to zoom out the camera. (Simply enter “porkcharsui” as your character name; the “K” and “L” keys will then be set to setting the camera up or down)

    often when making retro reviews people don't understand what games were back in the day, gta 1 was epic, absolute freedom, killing people by driving over them, steal every vehicle, a big city free to discover, those were the things that make the game unique for the time, graphic wise was not on the top in that period but gameplay wise this was so much fun

    GTA1 did one thing right, that I missed in the supposedly superior sequel GTA2 - The gore, the ability to start a fight with, and the horrified screams of the pedestrians.
    I remember getting the flamethrower for the first time, and that first poor sod i tested it out on, just running around on fire, and then suddenly drop with a bloodcurdling scream, still burning and the gore slowly creeping up - sigh, such a sadistic delight that was....in GTA2 they just turned into a black crisp. Same with shooting, they just fell over.
    Or just go up to a rando, and just smack the delight out of them - and they would retaliate too! Not just run away like in GTA2.
    I consider GTA2 one of the best, because of many things, but oh boy, was it a disappointment on the "satisfactory" part of things.

    Some people are spoiled by technology. This game and the 2nd GTA were amazing! At the time there really was nothing like them. Stealing cars, selling cars, running pedestrians over, shooting at cops, killing frenzys, blowing things up, blood of nuns splattered on sidewalks.....both of these games were extremely fun and thank goodness nobody thought to make it aaaalllll about missions! Missions are great and all but nothing can compare to finding the tanks and wrecking havoc on the streets of whatever part of the city you were in and running over Elvis impersonators.

    I remember getting this game back in the day around the same time as Carmageddon. I was very underwhelmed by the technology and the unforgiving (and dare I say unfair) difficulty of GTA. Especially when comparing it to Carmageddon. But I saw a lot of potential with the open world concept and imagined how good a game would be if it combined the 3D an physics of Carmageddon and the open world and mission of GTA. If anyone makes that game, I'm sure it'll sell like a thousand copies!
