Larian Studios Forums General Chat Vice City

Yeah yeah, its not an RPG, but its still cool. Post any comments you have here.

I just have to say. What is with this guy and water? Why the hell cant he learn to swin for goodness sake? Rocks are more bouyant!!

the only time i ever played a grand theft auto i got on top of a car and threw bombs at stuff. it was fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Hehe! Its been rated the most sociopathic game ever <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Doing things like that are part of what makes the game great, there is a lot of freedom. I never actually solved GTA 3. After I opened up all the islands I found that I always ended up seeing just how many cops I could get chasing me.

i stole a firetruck too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Hehe! I was throwing molotov cocktails around before and the fire department came and put out the fires and squirted me with the water cannon!!

yeah GTA3 was cool, don't know about Vice city though

doesnt come out in Australia untill the 23rd
how did you get it early hey hey hey? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

*Buck sits an waits for it*
must have it

Has the date slipped back to the 23rd now? I thought it was going to be on shelves on the 16th.

everywhere its the 23rd
16th is for europe

i liked the game and all but it got old really fast...

i like it too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
i agree on the water thingie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
but its great to ride a motor <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yeah motorbikes are the best for stunts, much more manuverable than cars.

I have never played or seen any of GTAs, but I played Postal2 - which used I think similar idea. Postal2 completely sucked.

Maybe I'll try that GTA Vice City one day. Do you have to play GTA3 to be able to understand things/plot in Vice City?

Postal 2 is not a game. Its a series of crappy, tasteless ideas strung together into a pointless excersice made purely to milk money from the gaming public. Comparing it to GTA is like comparing a childs fingerpainting to the Sistine Chapel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> . And no, you dont need to play GTA 3 to enjoy vice city, they are stand alone games! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> (Vice City actually takes place about 10 years before GTA 3) Hope that helps <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

isn't Vice city AFTER GTA3? I heard that the guy from GTA3 went to prison and now just got out.... 15 years later

nah i believe vice city is before gta 3.
vice city is more "jaren 60"

vice city is set in the 80s

stupid game stores tell me its comin out on the 23rd an then the 12th june
one just tells me any day now an wont give me a date
another says the 23rd with only 7copies in an wont reserve one for me

i just want the bloody game

I can't seem to understand why some stores won't reserve things... a sell is a sell, not??

anyway, that's what I've heard about it, and it could be true because seeing screenies from both games, the vice city dude looks like the GTA3 dude, but aged

Vice City is after gtaIII, Its not really a sequal where its more a spinoff add on.
More important it rocks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Great way to end a hard day of work, steal some cars drive over some innocent people.
And it has a lot of easter eggs as well. On one of the buildings the window lights are shaped rather suggestive like a male gender.
Really like the music in it. Wave and flash are my favs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mfatal:
Vice city is NOT set after GTA3. It is set in the 80's. GTA 3 is set in the current day. Case in point, in GTA 3 Donald Love is a media mogul. In Vice City he is a young man learning the ropes. Think about it, all the radio stations in GTA 3 except Flashback play current music. Notice the radio stations in Vice City only play 80's music. The reason for that is that Vice City is set IN the 80's. Its a prequel. You dont even play the same character as in GTA3. Notice all the vechiles in Vice City are 80's style, while in GTA 3 they are modern? The reason? GTA 3 is current day,Vice City? Yes, its the 80's. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Edit: My fave radio stations are Flash and Emotion (I just like Emotion because Fernando cracks me up)
