Vice-City

L5

I dont get it. I just dont get this game, its supposed to be a brilliant game, ive tried giving it a chance a few times but always end up uninstalling it. The graphics are poor, even on a high end pc, theyre just nothing about the game that i like. Anyone else feel this way?

Stephen

No.

why do you say that? Im not a "kid" Im 22. Ive played it for several hours trying to get into it, hoping it would get interesting, but no. This game is way overhyped in my opinion.

tman

ah, sorry man. i'm just used to underage kids complaining about not being able to "get" vice city...
the age rating is there for a reason ffs:rolleyes:

i loved gtaIII like my own child from the first time i played it on a mates ps2, and vice city's take on the overly kitsch 80's appealed to me on so many levels. it's quite possibly my favourite game of all time... i can't really understand how anybody could not like it

kurtmark22

Never played it on PC but I loved the PS2 version.

One of the best games ever conceived. Im playing through it again - Modern Mod.

Nor can I understand how you didn't like this.

L5 did you play GTA III at all? I think you appreciate Vice City a whole lot more when you've played GTA III to death.

Also, I dunno how you didn't find anything interesting considering there's is quite a lot to do in the game. Of course it's the little things that make it more interesting, such as the whole Scarface deal and things like that.

Roll on San Andreas.

bizmark

Well he does have a point about the graphics there ****e for a pc pop up is terrible even with a 9800pro the gameplay makes up for it though

KdjaCL

Graphics dont make a game ,gameplay does VC has that in abundance, damn kdis and there "it must look good or else its crap"


Modern mod?

Look it is doesn’t use ps 2.0 and havoc physics it just isn’t worth playing now adays

the only mod iv found for gta vice city is liberty city

monument

Don't worry, maybe you're just not the type that likes playing the missions...

OR shooting/beating random people, getting chased by the police, robbing shops, just driving around, doing stunts on motorbikes, steeling random cars, steeling police/taxies/ambulances & then acting as their drivers, and more (all within the game, of course).

Ive seen all that in the game and it doesnt impress me, the AI is rubbish

Loobz

I'm playing GTA Vice City - Modern Mod.


Basically:
Cheetah = Ferrari Enzo
PCF 600 = Ducatti 996

the list goes on and on.....................

All vehicles in the game are modelled on real life cars. Its excellent.

The only thing is all radio stations are gone, so too are all dialogue (cept the subtiltles).

But its one helluva mod in my opinion.

bizmark

link ?

l3rian

it could be so much better

better aiming + shooting

high resolution cars

explodable landscape and buildings

ability to swim

better ai

more realism escaping from the cops, not a meter with stars


it maybe a few years before all these features can be included, but at least theyve gotten this far

Loobz

Dont have a link for Modern Mod - however..........

San Andreas

I hate people who don't like games just because the graphics are crap. Shame on you! I hope evil things befall you and your kind. May you never experience the joys of Super Metroid, Rocket Knight Adventures and their ilk. I curse you to be forced to play soulless first person shooters by legend and Raven software and other denizens of lazy games developement forever.

Why? How would one get it then?

Bit of googling does wonders

I believe this is the one anyways

Shin

Loobz

Im not sure if that is it but tis worth a try. Its the best thing Ive played. I gives you such an incentive to rob a car and crush it to a thousand pieces! Especially when it has a Lambourghini, Ferrari, BMW or Merc emblem on the bonnet!!! Buwhawhawha!!

those games have good gfx mate

he also never said the game was bad because of poor gfx, merely stating that he thought they were

The Real B-man

great easier to play on the ps2 thow but have the advantage of mods on the pc hopefully this will happen with san andreas now with the bb adapter

eyerer

basically more of what GTA III offered, which was fine for me
a few little qweeks (<-how do you spell that?) which added a little bit more

i think i preferred GTA III though, if not simply because of the awe factor
roll on SA, just another year for the pc version :rolleyes:
well, sonys little exclusivity contracts won't be making me buy a ps2

anyway, i hope they fix the horrible pop up in the next one, its very annoying to turn around to get a car or whatever and its disappeared

Horsefumbler, no name calling.

I'd me greatfull if you, Horsefumbler, could do that.

robbie1876

GTA San Andreas will be PS2 only?? Just read that and dont believe it. But it was on the internet so it must be true. Anybody know any different?

Stephen

It will probably be PS2 only in the same way that Vice City and GTA3 were - i.e. for 6.-8 months, after which it will make an appearance on the PC, and then probably the xbox soon after.

Dont be at yourself

Probably be exclusive on PS2 for anywhere between six months and a year, with the inevitable XBox and PC ports after that.

aye, i'm hoping that they keep with the tradition of releasing the pc version in may... couldn't bear to wait any longer

kurtmark22

New arguement which was the better city Vice city or Liberty City?

(Note better city does not mean better game just better game area)

Personally I prefered Liberty City as it was a far more interesting city.

tman

yep, vice city was too flat for my liking.
liberty city with vice city's vehicles and missions --> win

amp

You know, sometimes I just fire up VC and simply drive around, occasionally robbing a better car or bike, but mostly just cruising along enjoying the ride.

kurtmark22

Exactly how I feel Tman. A Liberty city (gta3) rerelase with some of Vice cities improvements (better gun selection, ability to jump out of cars for example) would be the perfect game.

Mind you the San Andreas citis (all three of them) look cool.

eyerer

you'd have to fix the gangs in gta III though, a respect meter possibly, very annoying when they shoot you all the time
how could they even tell it was you, realistically

kurtmark22

Mind you the gangs in Vice city are just as bad, they shoot you all the time as well. Not quite as bad as GTA 3 though.

You know, it's old fogeys like you out on a Sunday drive that really get on my tits when I'm trying to ram the auld securicor van off the road in a stolen police car.

eyerer

hopefully there'll be massively multiplayer gta so a real fool like that will be in your way

does the scarface thing add much to the game?
i've never seen it, though i did find the plot in the game very predictable

Stephen

Watch scarface and you'll see so many similarities to locations in Vice City. The mansion that you take after you kill diaz = Tony Montana's gaff in scarface. The malibu club is the same as the disco in scarface. There's also an apartment with bloodstains and a chainsaw in it, another tribute to scarface. Plenty more too.
