I remember getting a ps2 as a kid, and my dad buying me grand theft auto 3. I was into cars at the time and he thought it was just a racing game, neglecting the 18+ rating. And I think that was the best thing he ever did.

I was a freshman in high school when this game came out and I pulled my first all-nighter playing it after I got it for Christmas.

I actually like unlocking the islands. That feeling was amazing back in the day. You felt like you were exploring a secret area when you first crossed the bridge.

GTA 3: most evolved GTA title compared to the previous version.
GTA Vice City: best soundtracks and style and atmosphere
GTA San Andreas: most expanded GTA with RPG elements and insane amount of content and details and little things to do, also the most polished gameplay out of the three.

20 years ago I was 9 years old and I can confirm that fact #9 is 100% accurate. Back then all I ever did was go around driving, shooting, and destroying everything. This time around I’ll finally try to actually do the first mission.

Hope Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories can get a similar treatment, if these 3 turn out good. More people need to experience these underrated titles.

Even the tank was easier to fly than the dodo!

I was 12 years old when GTA 3 was first released - luckily my dad bought me a copy. I was absolutely obsessed and it set a high bar for my taste in videogames. Very few companies hit the quality of a good ol' Rockstar game!

Out of the Trilogy, I played 3 the most, for the longest.
Only one I actually completed and it was just fun to play with friends and pass the controller around.
This package will probably last me till the holidays next year, no joke.
I'm going to take my sweet time with each of them, planning on going for 100% with each game.

Ive been literally waiting every single minute of every day until this comes out!!! Im stuck at home for health reasons and literally cannot wait!!! Im going to re-100% all 3 games!!

gta 3 to me seems like it'll benefit the most out of this remaster.

Back in 2001, 17 years old, me and 5 of my friends chillin around the PS2 in my lounge room taking turns going on rampages. Good times

Speaking of car bombs, one thing I did occasionally was add one to a car I was using because in this game, a specific NPC will sometimes steal your car like you do to everyone else. And it's so satisfying to watch them drive away and then detonate the bomb.

This is hands down the biggest turning point in gaming history for me.
It was UNBELIEVABLE when it was released. Better than you could imagine a game to be!

[ModeSOLOgaming]

Spent many hours with old friends making memories with this one. Absolutely a classic game.

[procrastigamr]

Wow, this trilogy actually brings back memories. Like waiting in line at EB games for my preordered copy of San Andreas. I ran home with my copy faster than Charlie Bucket with the golden ticket.

People playing these games for the first time as this version will never know the struggle of having to find your way around the cities. Back then all Rockstar told us in the manuals was to keep your destination north and keep driving that way. LOL

At least for GTA3 and Vice City cause I believe they put a waypoint system in SA.

when u finally realize that it all came together. the fact that @gameranx released these videos in the games story chronological order. VICE CITY, SAN ANDREAS, GTA 3

[AaronMirk]

When I was a little kid my only friend that had a PC good enough to "run" GTA 3 invited us over to play it, and I remember all of us coming over to his house everyday after school to play it.
We beat the whole game at like 2 FPS, not exaggerating it was like a slideshow, but we enjoyed it so much and it was so different from anything we ever played that we absolutely loved every minute of it.

Here's only one thing you need to know: we're less than three days away from release and t2/rockstar have not yet shown any actual gameplay from the definitive edition.
