Man Lazlow is such a legend. What a great interview. Rockstar was always so under the radar with their developers, but Lazlow’s work with the radio on those PS2 GTA games is truly etched into my brain. I was 12 years old when GTA 3 came out and I can’t even put into words how formative those PS2 GTA games were on my taste in games, in music, in movies, in comedy, etc. Especially the radio stations.

[@angelxiii3181]

Yes!!

It's wild how many cultural references I knew the Rockstar spoof of before I knew about the actual thing.

[@Amouroso]

With how secretive rockstar are, this genuinely be the most illuminating and ‘behind the curtain’-y interview for their games ever. Some small things he’d talk about regarding the crafting of the world and Easter eggs is stuff I’ve legit always wanted to hear about

[@quadeappenheimer8135]

Same here! They've always been hush hush so this is very cool to hear and also it's really good to see (and hear) lazlow again.

Man, Lazlow's voice was the narrator of my formative years. Any time a new GTA came out the first thing my friends and I would do was smoke a ton of weed, park a car and listen to his radio show. This is insanely cool and all of this behind the scenes rockstar info is valuable considering how secrative and tight lipped rockstar was.

[@jonny_codphilo7809]

amazing what a flowery shirt can do for a noir franchise

[@B2theBmfk]

The story and gameplay are great, its the countless unskippable loading scenes at each corner which made me lose interest in that game. Watching Max slowly walk over to push 2 buttons and go up an extremely slow elevator after every shootout, when there are time based challenges in the game, that becomes tedious very quick. And the scoreboards were hacked instantly to the point of the scores being so big that it crashed some game-modes making them unplayable till this day and R* did nothing about it.

I'm right there with you. It was honestly kind of great how initially fans were mad that most of the game you play as someone other than John Marsten... Then once it came out and people played it, it seemed to me like Arthur became the fan favorite. Me, personally, I prefer playing as Arthur, I think he's written better than John and has better dialogue etc.

The midnight release for GTA V was absolutely insane. I lived in the northeast of Massachusetts at the time, and i remember going to my local Gamestop (one of 3 in the same town, preorders were a nightmare) and i remember the line went around the parking lot. The experience playing that game was ungodly. From the first announcement trailer in december 2011, to the release date, what a ride. I just started college and i mightve been the first in any of my classes to have the game. No game will be as big as that, not even half-life 3.

[@Brandon-g6d]

I went to the midnight release and missed school to play the game and was annoyed by how long it took to download and disappointed because GTA 5 was a downgrade from GTA 4 in almost everyway except for graphics

Damn glad to see Lazlow again. His KROCK/XM show was underrated and all on youtube too. RIP Big Wayne.

Max Payne 3 was one of the best third person shooters of the PS360 era. It might still be one of the best in general. The consoles it launched on held it back with the unskippable cutscenes though, I remember that really hurting the opinion on the game. Resident Evil 4 actually started the adaptive difficulty where dying enough will weaken enemies or give you more ammo/healing items.

It took Lazlow 50 minutes to finish his story about the suicide letter.

I remember being in Miami when Vice city came out and seeing the yellow car in front of the versage mansion (it’s always there) in the game. My mind was blown.

[@kennethlauer4735]

The side tracks from Lazlow's RDR suicide note story are insane
