It depends what you're looking for in a GTA game. A badass story that makes you feel in power, the best music selection and overall faithfulness to the 80s? Then yes, play Vice City. If you just want something as deep as San Andreas mechanic-wise, then no. Not that VC pales in comparison, far from it, but maybe you'll miss certain features (i.e. diving)
Frick that is one nice view.
To answer the OP's question, I'd say yeah there is. Same goes for the PSP prequels.
God I love these 5.
>The games all look very similar
They don't? I mean I agree when people say that stuff about Mega Man or Dragon Quest for example but how the frick are GTA games similar?
Only the original two and london 1969 differ vastly from 3 until present. Otherwise yeah, they’re essentially the same game just with more details with each series entry.
>it's time for this thread again already
Skip 3. Vice City is the best PS2 game
incredibly correct response
both have elements that SA dropped and lack elements that made SA into a different kind of game. They had no rpg level up mechanics, less sprawling map without the rural dead space, a more arcade-y knockabout gameplay style and things like drug powerups that change the game's physics and rampages. So they feel different enough from SA. Vice city and 3 are very similar to each other tho, the main difference being setting/atmosphere and vc having a much more fleshed out story and soundtrack.
I would play VC just for this
As a kid I thought rampages were given by Love Fist, just because of the skull.
I'll be real with you, man, 3 and Vice City are not that good.
3's city is really REALLY good, and it's much darker in places, but every cutscene is pretty much "go do thing aight bye", and it gets boring really fricking fast.
VC cutscenes, atmosphere and radio are top notch, but it's such a chore to actually play the missions, there is so much fricking escort, timed and vehicle combat missions, god forbid you'll have to replay any of those more than twice. The islands are pretty dead compared to 3 as well. Still worth it for voice acting alone.
Basically, play 3 until you'll get bored - then swap to VC. In either cases don't even bother with anything not related to main missions aside from Rampages, and do not think about 100%, it's a slog of a highest order.
I wanted to call you a homosexual and a Black person but now that I think about it, Vice City does have tons of gimmicky missions and unfortunately those may overshadow the few great ones. Maybe I got blinded by everything else -which was nothing short of phenomenal - and as much as I still would like to call you a homosexual and a Black person, your critique is undeniable
I like the gimmicky missions, I will actually call you a homosexual I'm afraid, simply because if game developers listened to you then you end up with games that have frick all variety because you get filtered as soon as the gameplay changes.
>Waah why do I have to fly a toy helicopter in a game about stealing cars!?
>Waaaah! Why do I have to play as Knuckles in *SONIC* Adventure!?
>WAAAAAH! Why do I have to solve puzzles in my FPS!
Modern games pander to you and that's why they're all dull as frick.
Your level of obsession is through the roof, chill out man. I've never said the gimmicky missions were shit, just different and perhaps some people don't like that. I've simply admitted the game has those, but personally, I like them. Maybe you should stay away from this website for a while, otherwise you won't differentiate between zoomers and contrarians to people who actually came here to discuss genuinely.
vc has better interiors than SA
it also has better music and style
Depends what you're looking for. 3 is personally my favourite due to the bleak tone and MSX FM soundtrack. Both it and vice city are really good at capturing the time periods they go for (millennium and 80s)
I replay them for the nostalgia. If you weren't there, you wouldn't miss it. 2001 was such a different time. It's crazy to think 3 came out around after 9/11.
Yes.
They only look similar because of the renderware engine. Literally everything about story, characters, setting, etc, is drastically different. It keeps some similar feel for jokes and serious tone, but that is it.
Also just get the trilogy remaster when it launches soon. SA is by far the best of the three, but the others are close enough to warrant a play. Even more so when they release them again.
>Also just get the trilogy remaster when it launches soon.
In b4 it is based off the mobile versions and thus, shit.
To have fun
vice city is the only game in the series with good characters, story, ost, atmosphere
san andreas has better gameplay
the other games are all subpar one way or another
both games feel more arcade by comparison, it´s pretty easy to ride a bike for example, meanwhile in San Andreas both the car and motorbike had weight and gravity like mechanics that made them more "realistic", for example if that Jeffrey mission had been in VC, the mission would´ve been a lot more easier because of the arcade mechanics
Yes Vice City is worth playing. The story was a huge improvement on GTA3, and the overall game has this very specific feel that you don't find in San Andreas (because SA has its own feel too, the overall art direction for these games were really amazing).
The map is kinda small, but it is all very well tied together, it feels big, and every section has soul in its own way.
San Andreas is objectively the best of the 3 games when it comes to gameplay features, but beside that, VC has nothing to envy of SA.
GTA III is a janky mess not worth playing anymore. Yes, it was groundbreaking at the time, but it got a bunch of things not even remotely right that were improved upon massively by the following titles. VC has great atmosphere (borrows heavily from Scarface and Miami Vice) and is still worth a cheeky playthrough, I don't think it's as lengthy as SA either and plays virtually the same besides the fact that you can't swim and there are no airplanes.
>re3 dead again
FRICK TAKE TWO.
