Picked up GTAIII for Windows systems

I was just reading another review some of the new wepons include knives, swords, chainsaws, and screwdrivers. With the new interior sections you can rob the casinos or banks. You can also break into peoples apartments. There are also rumors of paper boys on bikes which you can steal and go on special misssons. My good I think I’ll quite my job and stay home for two months and just play this game.:slight_smile: =) :stuck_out_tongue: =) =) =)

20 days and counting. So close yet so far.:-\ :( :frowning: :(

Aww quit whining!

You guys get it like, 2 weeks before I do :frowning:

Just 'cuz I live in Denmark… sigh Not fair…

When I get it I’ll be sure to keep you fully informed on how great it is.:stuck_out_tongue: Just kidding I wouldn’t want to cause you more pain than you will already be in.

PS. Can’t you just buy a copy online and have it shipped over night? Whats the release date in Denmark?

can’t remember…

Yes I could have it shipped, if shipping to DK didn’t cost 29$!!!

then I’d be spending 80$ on a game… no way…

Gues I’ll just have to wait… sigh

:frowning:

DAvid!! welcome to the world of crime without penelties (AKA GTA3) hehe I love that game =) Its very addicting =)

I cant wait till Vice city comes out!! =)

After taxes it cost close to $80 dollars for a new game here so thats not to bad.

SINTAX WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU FROM!? I’m in the states, so it only costs me 50 + tax, which brings it to about 55. And I went and reserved a copy, so I am guarunteed a copy on October 29th! I can’t wait. Oh no! Thats a tuesday!! I can’t skip my classes on TUESDAYS!! NOOOOOO!! Oh, well I’ll just have to wait til 3 when I get done with my classes and then i can go to the mall and pick up my copy of VICE CITY!! AHHH I CAN’T WAIT!! After reading the new specs that Sintax put up I’m even more excited…starting…to…twitch…must…play…vice…city…

It’s them Canadian people. Things are more expensive there.

I will pick up the copy for you Jubba :evil:

:*( dont have GTAIII, I played the other two and I loved them…

:*(

Yep we may have to pay more for video games due to all of the taxes. If this country didn’t have free health care I’d most likely leave right now.

Ya I have a copy on reserve and I’ll probably take two days off from work just to get some good play time in. I’m scared once I start to play I’ll never stop and I’ll lose my job. :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh well it will be worth it!=)

yeah, i’ve also got a copy on reserve at my local EB. can’t wait. it’s gonna be a big change for me cause i played GTA3 through exclusively on the PC. playing it on the PS2 will be a little different for me, but after a couple hours, i’ll be just as good as on PC. the problem is, codes won’t be as easy to put in this time around since (assuming they have codes in this one too) it’s keypresses instead of words you can actually type in the pc ver of gta3. codes in my opinion make the game a little more interesting. also, i’ve started modding in GTA3 which is even more fun.

i’ve developed a “new” mission in gta3 with a couple mods. well, first i should say that a mission that i came up with first was to survive one whole minute with a 6-star rating driving; no hiding behind hills or bridges, driving. cinch. now…with the modding i’m trying to survive half a minute with all the attack vehicles (police car, FBI car, tanks, barracks, etc.) going at speeds up to 300mph, yes even the tank. it’s insane. you can’t cross an intersection without hoping there’s no tank coming right at you at that speed. it’s fun and adds more to the game even after beating it.

am I behind on the times? Of course I am. I haven’t even had a system that could handle GTA3 until this year… and the cost of it is why I can’t afford games when they first come out all of the time. Remember people, I’m not 15, I’m 32. I have a mortage, loans, insurance, and people who rely upon me. Likewise I have this nasty smoking habit that I have been abusing myself with for 12 years.

The reason I bought the game is actually related. I’m down to half my normal smoking quanitity as of this week. It’s going pretty good (haven’t killed anyone in reality yet). So, since I had a few buck in my pocket, and I was at the store getting a pci vid card anyway, I opted to pick the game up.

You know what I like most about the game?? Or rather what attracted me to it first… it’s the suspension on the vehicles. I’ve never seen another auto game that has so much realism in how a car touches a curb (or flys over one). When the car shimmies because it’s bumped over a body or another car, or a curb… it just feels right.

anyway… I’m only on mission 4 so I haven’t gotten that far. I’m sure it will be months before I complete the game and need the new one. By that time maybe I’ll have a vid card that can handle the rain effects without any slowdown at 1024/768 or higher res. :slight_smile:

See I only played it on the PS2. I just have troubles playing a game like this on a PC. Mabye I’ll get a PS2 controller for the PC and I’ll enjoy it much better. I would like to play the mods created so I guess I’ll have to get one.:slight_smile:

It is confermed there will be a DeLorean in the game. A car I have always wanted to drive is going to be in the game this is going to be the best game ever made. Of course this will be until GTA 5 comes around. I can’t wait for like 2030 when GTA Virtual Reality comes about. Oh will we ever live to see the day, I hope so.:slight_smile: =) :stuck_out_tongue:

[SIZE=1]there’s only a few games I’ve ever played, and I’m old
enough to have played atari when it came out :elderly:, that
totally engulf me into it. And I mean as it was NEW not
necessarily now.

Here’s my short list:

  • Adventure - Atari 2600
  • Resident Evil - PS
  • Metal Gear Solid - PS
  • GTA3 - PS2

No other games took over my mind and imagination like those did.

But I will FOREVER stand by this statement: The original Resident
Evil is THE BEST game ever made. No other game caprtured my
attention and my entire being like it did. I was actually sitting in
class thinking about that game, rather than the lab I was
performing. Tons of times over the 2 weeks I played it that I
thought about NOTHING else but RE. No other game has made
that claim, so I make that statement with pure confidence.

I can’t wait for GTVC myself…might just have to buy a PS2 to play
it!

I’m still using DreamCast:(

and Unflux…I was an Atari fanatic when it came out as well:P

I actually got a hold of the arcade buttons for Asteroids, and made my own controller to emulate the arcade game…:nerd: I wasn’t in school, but I did think about blowing up rocks a lot:P

The only PC game that got me was Riven… and Thief was pretty cool…

Rev:elderly:

RE was great but it was too short. I need long play times and GTA has always deliverd that. With a nonliner story line it is the game that never ends. I would like to see a RE game with more of a shootem up style to it. I always liked blowing parts off the zombies but you never got a whole lot of opertunity to do so. By the way what did you think of the RE movie. I think it is the best Game to Movie ever made. Tomb Rader sucked ass but RE kicked ass.

[SIZE=1]but…

more and more people I’ve talked to that’s seen it love it. So, I
guess I better add it to my Netflix queue. =)

I thought TR was decent. Angelina was pretty good, although
generally she annoys the sh*t out of me.

I’ll check out the RE movie and get back to you…

RE too short?? nah…not in terms of the PS console for it’s time!
Took a good 2 weeks of hours of play to beat it…my own
experience tho.

GTA3 is far more flexible in terms of adventure and creating
a “game with in a game” but RE just had something about it.

I’m not knocking GTA3 at all…believe me.
It’s a top 10 game ALL TIME for sure.

hey Flux! If you tried MGS for PSX, then I suggest you try MGS2 for ps2 too! :slight_smile:

great game! :stuck_out_tongue:

DAVID: I meant no offense by what I said. Merely poking fun. I’m trying to get my friend’s sister to stop smoking. Its not easy. She smokes a pack a day, at least…Luckies too…:frowning:
