GTA SA>GTA 3>>Gta VC although overall gta vc was a better game then GTA 3 i just prefered the liberty city atmosphere more then the 80's VC one. GTA games get better with each one imo so i can see GTA IV taking the crown from the looks of it.

Sounds like Vice City then. In Vice City you didn't have a garage at the beginning. You had to explore a bit, find an apartment or house that has a garage, save some money, and buy it. But then, GTAIV doesn't have property buying.

Perhaps parking is persistent?

I totally disagree.

GTA3 > GTA:VC > GTA:SA

And there's definitely a parking spot for 2 cars outside your hideout. You can see it in the IGN Video Review when Niko walks downstars and out the door.

GTA 3 is a LOT better than San Andreas to me. I never played VIce City, because i was still playing GTA 3 just before it came out and was kind of played out on the Grand Theft thing.

I remember reading in one of the previews that some save spots would just have a parking spot outside instead of the traditional garage, but that it would still work like a garage.

I honestly don't know where to put VC. It had the middle ground between everything. The grit of III and the over the topness of SA. Right in the middle there. and it was a total rip-off/'homage' to 80s action films. I don't know how to rank them really. They're all totally different games to me.

Hmmm...except some random NPC can probably just walk up and steal your shit :lol

That would suck, especially if IV features some mission specific invincible cars since those can be a pain in the ass to get. I still remember pushing one of the cars from the El Burro race in GTA3 all the way to my starting garage with a firetruck just so I could get the garage door to close on it and unlock the doors. It took me about 30-40 minutes to do that, but the payoff was sweet as I could mow down mafiosos and triads in drive by style without fear of their bullets.

Hahaha the El Burro race!!! I definitely pushed one of those cars all the way back to my hideout as well. Took many tries because I kept getting stuck places where I just had to start over.

Man taking a hooker out for a "ride" is very hardcore, i dunno if you guys have seen any videos of it but is pretty much like the real thing except without any nudity, that is sure to cause outrage in foxnews :lol

It's probably a big FU to the ESRB, since Hot Coffee wasn't even that explicit.

III has the best missions, perhaps the best, most original characters. Everyone has fond feelings for this one, for obvious reasons. the city itself is the most original of the 3. this is the base, core, GTA experience


VC has the purest nostalgia, the greatest recreation of the 80s I know of. Great cosumte design, nice variety, good missions, good characters. it didn't have it all, but it had enough. it expanded without being something totally different. the middle ground.

Sa is the big kahuna. the blowout party. everything must go sale. it has excellent and terrible ideas side by side. I love the state aspect. so much to do, so much to explore. I never had a problem with the long drives to faraway places - I could feel the effort. If you put something like that with GTAIv's engine, you'd be truly impressed. Still though, the expanse, the excess, the flatout of balls to the walls design, nothing left on the cutting room floor. I appreciate that thinking. there may have been too much to do at once (do all these missions AND keep your RPG elements in check?) but god damnit, they did it anyways. That's what I love about SA.


so yea, that's my stance. I love'em all.

Quality pics. Do you think you could take similar ones of each side of the map when you get a chance? I think many of us would really appreciate it.

How is the spine ? The usual white with black text ? Or themed, like NTSC games and apparently the UK edition ?
