Tony's been an ok game. Cut scenes even show some heart every once in awhile. Still can't get past the first Yuri attack-the-yacht mission though.
Tried out the the Lost & Damned, and nah. "Bring that bitch to the clubhouse because I want some hole! – We want some hole!" If I'm going to have to listen to that and ride a motorcycle that's not a Bati the entire time, I can skip it.
Been on a seagull kill list. Cheating with a map and realized after I shot No. 35 that the caption said "There are 16 more seagulls in Liberty City!" Fuuuck, this happened to me in GTA:LS with the spray paint. Retraced my steps and there was the missing bird at No. 24. I've never enjoyed a headshot better.
So, haven't played all the missions yet. Ignoring the other game on the disc. All that to say that I did play on that swing set glitch until 1 am last night. How can that be so fun.

Hey, it's 2019 and I finished The Ballad of Gay Tony tonight.

ahah well done !Actually I have only discovered (and finished) GTAV a few months ago...I don't remember much about Gay Tony. Except that it was fun (much more than Lost&Damned and even the original GTAIV).

The image I created that eventually spawned #GTAI drew this to create an isometric rendering engine, it then evolved that into a rotating isometric engine, then I built the "Top Down Perspective Engine" that went on to become GTA1#DMADesign #retro #grandtheftauto #retrogaming pic.twitter.com/Cxr5K8GB75— Mike Dailly™ 🏴 (@mdf200) September 1, 2019

Playing GT has been a little weird since I had only played maybe 10% of IV and just the first mission of L&D. All these clues on the map left over from the original game. Like, I learned where Playboy X's penthouse was and tried to figure out how to get inside since the lobby elevator wasn't working. I found the building next door with the really steep staircases and got to the roof, but couldn't pitch myself across the alley.
Finally shimmied up the fire escape and got a look around. When I left, I realized the penthouse was slightly higher than the roof next door, so I jumped down and went down the steep staircases instead. I suppose there must have been some mission where Niko did this (and not try jumping back the other way) and around all the corners of these staircases there may have been goons lurking to kill. For me, just a couple of dudes standing around.
Also weird parking cars all over the place even though Luis Lopez only had one stupid safehouse. All of Niko's old parking places still worked. Some apartment in the projects on the north side of the map was open, with a filthy mattress and bottles everywhere, making me wonder what kind of hell mission must've taken place there. Ghosts everywhere, but all I really wanted to do was dance.

I hate Johnny. I don't even mind when he dies during a mission because at least I'm watching him die. I hate his voice, I hate his little catchphrases, I hate his clothes, I hate his hate for Hondas and I'm glad that Trevor stomped his head in. My only regret is that I didn't know who Johnny was when I originally saw that scene years ago.
I'm trying to finish the mission where he grabs the diamonds from Luis and Tony. Seeing those two again reminds me of what a better game that was. And I can't catch a break with Johnny trying to chase after Evan.
And that sucks because you know what? I might even hate Evan even more.

They're terrible characters. Also driving those hogs is shitty

Srsly.
Only reason I'm trying to beat this game is because (1.) I've only got four or five missions left. (2.) I'm looking forward to blowing up that depressing clubhouse and (3.) I get to kill this guy:

Kind of weird how this game can’t be played on current consoles but gta 3 can. Tempted to buy a ps3 and fire it up

Pc is also a (great) option, finances allowing
