Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

I think they didn't decide on the Vice City name at the time, and went with Miami as a "placeholder" of sorts.

I don't think that's true, i'm sure that Vice City and San andreas appear in one of the early 2d titles.

It did. The original GTA.

Also remember that Vice City was meant to be an expansion pack to III. III mentions other states as well. I would say don't overthink it.

Seeing Lamar's hat stay glued in place? Even more cursed.

That's that LD Organic for you

Canonically Vice City is in the Florida keys, probably in place of Key Largo, putting it atleast 30 miles south of Miami which exists in the 3D universe.

If I had to guess canonically Miami is to Vice City what Fort Lauderdale is to Miami.

I am just interest in GTA 6 for a good example of what happens when the key figures leave and the end product is soulless and lame.

I just wish they would've just did map expansions, I mean would it be so hard to modify the current southern San Andreas map to expand it? Look at this completely empty and irrelevant section of the map is completely out of sight from Los Santos and Blaine that could be used as a spring board, and people already have studied this coast and found it greatly resembles a river bank versus a coastline.

GTA London 1969?
GTA Brazil with Max Payne as the main character doing open world shoot dodging?
GTA Tokyo/Nagoya/Yokohoma

I'm going to say it

GTA is never going to Japan. Weebs have been pushing this since 2001. It's just not going to happen, especially with a series like Yakuza.

So basically Driver: Parallel Lines?

I love the shit out of DPL and I'm still mad that nobody tried this concept since the PS2 era.

The Japanese version of GTA V/Online is segregated from other versions. Reason: the By the Book mission.

Interesting. Is the mission itself censored or was it cut out entirely?

Take-Two has revealed in its latest financial report that Grand Theft Auto Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has sold around 10 million copies worldwide, which is pretty impressive for a collection of games that were a buggy mess on release.

The publishing giant confirmed that the GTA series has now sold 370 million units worldwide, having moved 15 million since its last update and before GTA Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was released. Take-Two clarified that five million of that 15 million figure was made up of GTA 5 sales, leaving 10 million for GTA Trilogy – The Definitive Edition .

Also, reportedly, Nintendo Switch owners criticized the mishandling of the port, mainly due to its lag and poor performance overall.

Speedrunning DarkViperAU goes on a rant about react commentaries, Penguinz0 responds, speedrunner rants.

I don't understand the big deal. One person's screaming, the other isn't. Guess who I'd take the side of?

 

[MirrorNoir]

So the physical copy of GTA Trilogy just came out for Switch. Assuming I still buy it, can I play it without patches? I know VC has to be downloaded and all; all together, between VC and all of the patches, how many gigabytes am I looking at combined with how big of a data card am I going to need for my Switch to put them on?

Both are gay and should select "kill yourself" in the GTA Online player interaction menu.

One thing I have to thank GTA Online's The Contract update for is reintroducing me to Dr. Dre's The Chronic album. Dre and Snoop Dogg are unbeatable.

This is a tense REDDIT moment.

 

[The Last Stand]

Somebody put Flash FM (and other Vice City radio stations) in cassette tapes. This brings back memories I don't even have. How timeless, but retro.

Its amazing how much more of a badass niko was then the three cunts in V

I don't know what genre of music this is, but oddly, this slaps.

11 days until GTA V II: The Quest for Curly's Gold. R* is being hush-hush with pricing so expect the worst.
