The races I struggled with were the short NRG bike one on los santos, if you went too fast up the hill the bike did some crazy things and you'd fall off. And the Freeway one, again on LS, because the car is so fucking awful to drive!

My fondest memories are of GTA3 as it's the one I got most of the way through.
I remember being stuck on a race mission on GTA3 and ended up stealing a fire truck and parking it across the road in front of the other three cars before it started.
My favourite between missions carnage was going up on the roof above the nightclub (Luigi's? The first missions guy) and taking out everything that moved until I ran out of rockets for the helicopters, then jumping off the roof into a swarm of cops and trying to jack a car and make it to the paint and spray.

Does anyone else get so frustrated they just switch on cheats (and don't save obviously!) and go mental. It's replaced the rampages I miss so much from GTA2.
Not tried VC or III but never say never etc.

Ha ha. I got GTA3 running good on the computer and was up 'till 3am playing it, that bit was one of the last missions I did before I went to bed.
I was contemplating trying for 100% on it, but I forgot about that side-mission where you have to drive the "patriot" 4 x 4 around the cliffs next to the beach. Fuck that, life's too short.
I picked up the little hidden package in the disused railway tunnel, weirded out by the four down-and-out guys standing around it. I noticed they were all holding molotov cocktails! WTF.
Stunt driving pleasure of the 1st island is undoubtedly getting one of the mafia cars from the don's clifftop house, driving it full-tilt down the hill, up the little grassy hillock, and seeing how far over the diablo's car park the car will fly.
The rampage where you have to shoot all the triad guys using a machine pistol you find in the back yard of that building up by the bridge that gets blown up in the opening cutscene is INCREDIBLY DIFFICVLT. It took me like 20 goes to do it!
― Pashmina (Pashmina), Saturday, 21 January 2006 10:46 (eighteen years ago) link
Actually practicing the latter until I can do it would definitely cross the line between "fun" and "annoying". The first clip, of "claude" jumping the ruined bridge right at the very beginning is amazing! Sneaky fucker!

Fuckin' impressive, eh?
Someone must have used a mod to get this image, in the game you can see it deep below the water, but the location in the pic is sort-of correct.

I was up 'till 2am last night, a 6hr stretch. Muh Wuhmmun was not too impressed.
First impressions:
bad - it's a bit grim, at least until og loc (very funny) turns up - everyone calling each other "nigga" & "motherfucker", the scene with the fucked up crack addict, the crack house and so on, it's a bit heavy, subject matter wise.
Ryder is very very annoying.
good - the location, holy fuck, most of the 6hrs was spent just driving around the freeways & country roads. It's awesome, and frighteningly convincing in places. Driving through some of the little villages at night was even a bit eerie!
The DJ on the country station is very funny. Totally sick.
being able to swim = r0x0r. If someone did a conversion on "Vice City" with all the additionals from San Andreas, inc. swimming, it would be great.
So far I have spotted these "real world" things - the observatory from the cover of the byrds "untitled", a chevrolet corvair monza, a vw minibus with a peace sign on the front (!) I dragged the hippie out from behind the wheel and beat him up - the watts towers. The storm drain place, is that the location from the custom car race in "Grease"?
I have a lowrider with a flame paint job in the garage in the johnson house.
― Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 12:37 (eighteen years ago) link
my lowrider 'slamvan' with blue flame paint and chrome bars just looked simply amazing. you could even see the nitro cannisters in the back.
i've decided i'm going back to the PS2 version of this game, the colours are so much better, night-time especially. Plus the carnage that happens randomly on the expressways is just hilariously good fun.
all it means is i have to re-do the paramedic mission.
― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 13:33 (eighteen years ago) link
I have SA running on the downstairs computer, and like an idiot I installed GTA3 on the music computer! So I've got both games running concurrently, ha I'm such a saddo.
On the subj of GTA3 though, I should mentione that 1/I love that fatamarse track and 2/WELCOME TO THE GANGSTA WORLD OF AGALLAH.
― Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 13:41 (eighteen years ago) link
do we know of any news/rumours of a new one being made for the PS3?
― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 13:47 (eighteen years ago) link
Also funny, the ad for eres running shoes - "yesterday, I earned a DOLLAR" "I get to play with knives" etc.
