grand theft auto 3, classic or dud?

I'm watching a dude on Twitch play it (haven't heard him complain about bugs or glitches much) and the radio stations ("I wanna talk about taxes" - "the lone star state?" // "the name's Laszlo" - "so yeah, Leslie...") & the fake ads ("Do you want a kitten? (meow)" "we have manatees (sheep sound), white rhinos (sea lion sound) - petsovernight.com") are still 100% CLASSIC

I'm not sure anyone is swearing off GTA VI based on another studio doing a shitty job, tbf.

Yes the stations are great across the board. I esp love the gta 3 stations. Some of those fake pop songs on head radio and Lips 106 are really good !

Rockstar comments finally

tldr=
Big apologies
Admission that games aren't up to scratch, patches will be made (one soon)
Please stop abusing members of Rockstar Dev teams on social platforms
Classic versions will be up on Launcher, free to people who buy the Definitive versions before June next year

the patch = everybody will be sent a refurbished PS2 and the original Grand Theft Auto 3

or a kitten in a box

access to the original games a big hint that this is not gonna get super fixed

I mean the actual project was so fundamentally unambitious, it's hard to see what would've been £55/$60-worthy about it even if it had successfully cleared the low bar they set for it. It is a bummer given how many good remasters there have been in recent years

Astute observers will have noted that I am describing as very poor value for money a compendium I have also posted several firsthand gameplay experiences from. I quite simply woke up from a nap on Sunday and found that it was installed on my hard drive. It's crazy

I got 97 hidden pacakge!

but now i'm at the point where my mind is playing trickseez, "did i already get that one?" "did the game save properly after finding those ones?" and trying to remember all the locations and falling for the trap of false locations where there never was a package. Fucked if I know where these last 3 are. will continue tomorrow...

Console update out

Fixed an issue where the game would restart from the beginning when selecting to retry from the last checkpoint on the Mission High Stakes, Low Rider

I would have raged so hard...

Yeah cannot 100% Vice City due to that Gun Runner mission being totally fucked

This purportedly fixes it, though I think by auto-completing the mission at a point before the bug rather than actually letting you do it properly

They also have a mod that puts all the removed songs back in that works fine

Lol

Do the new versions let you play your own station by putting mp3s in a folder, like the original?

just curious.

Coolest way to kill Salvatore

this game was so immersive. the 'fake pop' songs on the stations were such hits! it's weird to get nostalgic for in-game landscapes... cruising around the second island, sunset, lips 106...

No lie, I think the majority of my time playing GTA3 was spent in a tank with the gun reversed, trying to blow myself up hills.

The Trashmaster is the poor man’s tank

always complete the Paramedic missions before you piss off any of the gangs
