GTA is a game for peope who can't understand good well designed games.

GTA3 was absolutely awesome when it came out. Chatterbox FTW. I enjoyed GTA2, and holy shit, GTA3 just blew it out of the water in every way. The series needed 3D. GTA:VC was great too (motorcycles were awesome), but the city wasn't as well-designed IMO. But the music was awesome! I haven't played SA, but I need to.

I actually already downloaded all the chatterbox stuff. I think I'm going to listen to it right now.

I prefer VCPR. VCPR is fucking gold.

Vice City is one of the most hilarious games of all time.

"I want you, and my dead brother's white lady!"

"This knife killed thousands of Cambodians and now, you can too!"

Trying to remember that quote regarding the "Austrailian - American War"

Quote

Jan: Well, yes I am a mom. My kids are very special. So special they
go to special classes. Now I teach my kids history to give them
perspective. Last night I was telling them about how Magellan sailed
around the Strait of Magellan and met some friendly natives that gave
him supplies. Um, then he had to kill all of them, and that's an
important lesson about life. If you look at nature, you'll see many
species that eat their children to protect them. This is especially
true of hamsters. It's about putting the family first. That's really
important to me, and where a lot of my morality comes from... And if you
don't like it, find your own husband and stay away from mine, okay!?!?!

Maurice: Okay... But excuse me if I sound a little confused here, but I
don't think I understand.

Jan: Now, my morality comes from looking at history and biology and
working out what's best for my kids and screw anyone else. That's what
this country's all about. I mean-I mean, I saw the hippies... What a
load of claptrap. Wha-What's your kid going to do at a school with a
name like Moonbeam or Wave or Horseradish or whatever they call 'em.
How can you take your kid to a little league game when you live in a
communal farm growing drugs? It's awful! And that's what my life is
about: Looking down on others.

Maurice: Yes, I think I can see that now. Moving on. Pastor Richards,
in your book you talk about putting yourself first and how people should
not make sacrifices or help those in need. Do you want to elaborate?

Richards: Oh, that's right! People need to learn how to take care of
themselves and not depend on others. If you read chapter 45 of my book,
I talk about how being selfish is a virtue. The best thing you can do
for someone that needs help is to tell them to help themselves. That
builds moral character. Morality, Maurice, there's not much left in
this city. Every time a culture has taken on the doctrine of helping
your fellow man, we get thrown into the dark ages. Look at Russia!
They keep trying to help each other out; extend a hand to a neighbor.
And guess what? Every ten years, someone's invading, burning down their
homes, and taken their toilet paper. Napoleon, Stalin, Attila the
Hun... All of them. After you read my book, you will understand. I may
have been born in the sea, but I'm no dummy.

Quote

Jan: Well, since I'm a happily married mother, I know the family unit is
the basis of all society. Now, even when my husband is working late, or
away on an extended business trip to Hawaii with his secretary, I
understand just how important the family unit is in life. He's working
hard I can get another station wagon with even more wood on it.

Maurice: Go on. Tell me more about... your family.

Jan: Um well, I like to compare it to nature. After all, it is one
planet, even if we do just want to maime and kill each other.
Especially, me. Now, look at sharks and sandworms. One of my hobbies,
besides making babies and criticizing people, is biology. You learn so
much from nature. People these days, they don't grow their own food.
They can barely get out of their recliners and make it to the super
market. Let me tell you, there's nothing super about that place. Kids
these days don't know how to preserve and can their own food. N-No
wonder all they want to do is play video games or hang out with their
friends. What is it, The Degeneratron?* What a crock of shit!

*Do take note that this is not a mispelling. Jan mispronounces
Degenetron.

Maurice: Heh-Hey hey! Watch your language! This is radio, we have
regulations about that sort of thing!

Jan: ...But you let a naked man on.

Maurice: Eh, he's behind a screen. You can't see him; He's not that
exciting. Imagine a flabby guy with a pony tail and a nasty rash.
You'll get the picture.

Jan: Imagine one, I married one. Anyway, what was I saying.

Maurice: Eh, you were discussing The Degenetron, which I understand is a
games machine, then you swore.

Jan: I'm sorry, it makes me so mad. I mean, what I heard my son Patrick
the 3rd... I heard him using slang words in the house the other day.
Rad and cool and stick it... I mean, I beat him to within an inch of his
life, and he will never make that mistake again. American should be
spoken properly!

Lazlow: "Alright, hello, you are on Chatterbox."
Caller: "Hello Lazlow, I'm a first time caller. I recently moved to
Liberty City from Hampshire, in England."
Lazlow: "Oh really? How do you like it? I mean, is it hard to get used
to the language? Y-you speak English pretty good."
Caller: "Oh thank you Lazlow. Yes, yes I do like it here. There's one
thing though that's very different and rather worrying. When I
was a boy in England, I had a nanny. She was very strict,
Lazlow."
Lazlow: "Yeah, well, I mean there's excellent child-care here in
America, eeerr...you know?"
Caller: "Well, well I'm sure. But, but the thing is Lazlow, when, when,
when I was a naughty boy, I, I, I...I would get spanked.
N...nanny...nanny would spank me...when I was naughty, and now...now
Freddy needs a nanny, because when Freddy's naughty, he needs to
get spanked."
Lazlow: "Well, there's some child psychologists, who'd probably say that
spanking can be harmful to a child's emotional development."
Caller: "Ab..ab...absolute rot, Lazlow. It's lovely. Freddy needs a nanny.
He needs a nanny Lazlow, because Freddy's been a very naughty
boy."
Lazlow: "How...how old is your son?"
Caller: "Excuse me?"
Lazlow: "How old is your son?"
Caller: "I don't have children! I can't stand the little brats! But
Freddy needs a nanny..."
Lazlow: "Alright, that's enough of him! God, who gave this guy a green
card?"

People love to hate on something popular after the novelty has wilted. None of the singular aspects of GTA are particularly great on their own, however it's probably the best "jack of all trades" that the industry has ever seen. Even the most ardent cynic can't deny that it's some great shit miles beyond just being shock value fodder. Its "free-roaming gangsta violence" theme is getting pretty stale though, and it probably isn't a very good influence for the game industry, however the original is better than all of its copycats.

Anyone remembers when the trailer for Vice City came out with A Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" as its theme? At this point I knew that the industry was changed forever. It's like, Rockstar had concocted the greatest hit of the generation with GTA 3 and they had to live up to it. Truly epic and forever memorable.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #18 on:** August 25, 2006, 02:43:02 PM »

Good post Mondain.

Hey Himuro, you never bothered to agree with my post in the "Favorite Game of the Generation" thread where I said GTA3 was by far the most influential game of this generation, and I don't think ANYONE can argue with that.

Himu · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2006, 03:04:55 PM »

I never bothered to agree because I swear I said that in my post.

But it's definitely true.

VC was the only one I truly loved, and was definately my GOTY that year. I found III's world a little bland and boring, the vehicle and radio selection lacking, and the Yakuza/Godfather wannabe story didnt work for me. SA was way too damned big for its own good (driving for 10 minutes through a desolate and dreary countryside to reach a location is not fun), I hated the gimmicks thrown in (tattoos, food, exercise, clothing, etc), and once again, the story didnt work for me. VC was the perfect blend for my tastes. Being a child of the 80's, and loving the music and style of the era really helped. I loved the brighter, more vibrant locales (beaches, palm trees and neon lights FTW. Ocean Beach at night was awesome), the vehicles (motorcycles in particular), the missions were well balanced, and I enjoyed the Scarface/Miami Vice ripoffs, and Ray Liotta as the protaganist. And I especially loved the radio. Je-sus! That thing was like a greatest hits of the 80's. So awesome.

Yup. I think the porn mission where you take a bike WAY up to the rooftops, hit a massive jump, and light up the beacon of the tits on the skyscraper is my favorite GTA mission.

The games were excellent when they were originally released, but they feel a bit tired by now (if not exhausted). 5 games (including VCS) in one gen is a bit much. Also GTA3 and VC have aged horribly gameplay-wise. LCS is alright for a portable game, though.
