Seriously man. This is the MOST underrated game. Being able to go into actual businesses, and make them your own and build your criminal empire LITERALLY from the ground up. As well as being set during the “Miami Vice” times, it is genuinely a COMPLETE game.

Vic was a tough guy but very short-minded and easy to be manipulated by every villain in the game and even by his own brother. That first got him into trouble and ultimately killed him.

[@josephstalin2606]

He was too good for the criminal world. He wasn’t as ruthless as Tommy was which is why Tommy was always having the upper hand in his story while Vic is usually being bossed around or picking up after his brother, Tommy didn’t allow Lance to walk over him which is why he betrays him

[@ghjklkop7868]

[@NineOneTwenty]

I wholeheartedly agree, GTA VCS is extremely underrated. It has to be one of my favorite GTA games. Great soundtrack, you have the ability to swim, and I just love how almost every single building in Vice City is adorned with neon lights. It’s really a beautiful sight seeing the sunset and all the neon lights flick on… Also, 15:24: “All we had to do, was follow the damn truck, Vic!”

[@tess4940]

1:26:01 to add on to this, this game lets you get behind enemies and snap their necks, during the Armando Mendez fight he’s not immune to this and you can instantly kill him. It’s a pretty funny way to go about that fight because of how abrupt it ends.

[@bouncingbluesoul5270]

I remember picking this up for £15 brand new (the PSP version a year prior was £30) in Summer 2007 and being blown away by just how good it was. Back then, we were used to pretty much annual releases of these games and this one still stood out. It really was brilliant. Taught me about entrepreneurship too - which I still use to this day at 30 years old.

[@rubenthekid]

Something to take note of, you only really pick up corporal if you were in for more than a year and a half, so Vic had to have been in for at least 2 years.

[@jjmfrees]

Lance’s line in VC about his dead brother’s “white lady” was the cocaine that was stolen.

[@ShadowWarriorLuke]

I'm British and also had family work for Cadbury in the past (just as a packer, nothing too fancy). Milk Tray is their assorted chocolate box. The most well-known ad campaign for it involved a James Bond-esque character known as the man in black performing a bunch of crazy stunts in exotic locations. He'd then reach a woman's bedroom and leave the chocolates by her bed with the slogan "All because the lady loves Milk Tray." By a funny coincidence, In the Air Tonight was used in another Cadbury ad campaign not long after this game came out.

[@AVENGERSMAN.]

I finished Vice City Stories for the first time earlier this year and this was truly a different GTA game than what I was used to (I've played III, VC, SA, LCS, and a bit of V). This game is definitely underrated and I was glad I got to experience it. The sad story, characters, amazing soundtrack, more vibrant look for the city, fight animations, and swimming really made this feel superior to the orignal Vice City. I hope one day Rockstar can re-release on PC. It definitely deserves that for what its worth. Vice City Stories will forever be a memorable game for me

I'm lucky enough to have a PSP when I was a child, and VCS is actually the first GTA I ever played, and I spent much more time in VCS than VC! It is sad that this game is never as well-known as VC which I think it deserves to be, probably it is because the game lives in the shadow of SA if you ask me.

Victor Vance has to be one of the least evil and dangerous GTA protagonist as he doesn’t start of as a criminal or mobster but after making a mistake of working with Martinez he couldn’t go back and was forced into a life of crime to make money to provide for his brother. He clearly hates a lot of the jobs he has to do during the game

[@jackcravford8744]

He was never forced, he could say no and just move on. The story does not make any sense from a gameplay perspective sadly. Vic has so much money right of the bat, when finishing ambulance missions, etc and he still needs ton of money. It was just annoying to do the missions.

[@TubboDaKittyCat]

I, FREAKING, love Vice City Stories! Such a underrated Gem of a GTA game. It takes some of the comedic and 3D style and mixes it with some of GTA IV’s dark and grittier setting and gives us an almost perfect mix of the 3D and HD Universe’s. Kinda like GTA V’s story before GTA V was even a concept.

I think it's because I started on gta3 played that forever then San Andreas came so fast after vice City something that doesn't happen now. I absolutely loved San Andreas and was gutted when there wasn't a dlc for SA. Looks like I'll have to give this game a re play through.

This was an incredibly fun game. I played through the PS2 GTA games in chronological order (VCS -> VC -> SA -> LCS -> III), and I recommend people try it out.

If you really think about it Vic is alot like Niko before Niko was thought up. A tough guy who whos trained by his countries military to kill. Who doesn't enjoy the bad things he's doing.. does crimes out of necessity but would like to find a way out of it, he has an annoying male relative close to his age who is constantly getting them both into more trouble, falls for a girl who isn't a criminal but is related to or heavily involved with his criminal friends and employers.. and it feels like he's found the one for him... his world coms crashing down and takes a dark turn when the person he cares about is killed.. Niko and Vic even more similar if Niko does the revenge ending (which many consider cannon) after the main character works for someone more powerful than anyone he's worked with before this employer betrays him and kills the woman he loves. Depemdimg on certain factors its optional for that party to be the final antagonist you kill (Mendez and Pegorino) or the other option for final antagonistic you kill could be the person you were betrayed, and manipulated by much earlier in the game. The first one to betray you and kinda ruined your life in this new town (Martinez and Demitri)

Hi FuzzySlippers. I discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I’ve really enjoyed watching your content. I’d like to know if you ever heard of a game called LA Noire. It’s a detective sandbox game developed by Rockstar and one of my personal favorite games ever. Knowing your history with GTA and other Rockstar titles I figured you already have heard about it/and or played it. But I figured it’d be worth mentioning it just in case.

As an avid game collector I was shocking during covid to find GTA VCS on PS2 was $80cdn. I guess I was lucky to have owned it first on PSP then on PS2 later. Loved the game, still do. And also happy I got my 3 PS2 copies before the price shot up.😅😅

[@pinkstinger]

Glad you enjoyed it so much! This is my favorite 3D era GTA (and 2nd overall, right after IV/TLAD). Everytime you mentioned the underdeveloped romances on your previous videos I kept thinking "he's gonna have a surprise in VCS", and indeed it was. This game deserves to have more attention, and after this video, I think a lot more people will look for it Anyways, this was as enjoyable as ever, now I'm looking forward to those SR2 and GTA5 videos. Cheers, mate :) P.S. you should definitely cover Chinatown Wars. Even tho it has horrible controls, it just has so much going for it that makes up for it P.S.S. I also think you should cover GTA Advance because, well, completion :v and the story is kind of ok, and the game is quite fun for a GBA title. Plus, a few characters from GTA 3 appear in it P.S.S.S. IDK if you know this already, but Reni was LCS' Flashback FM's DJ, and in there she talks a bitabout her life b4 that game. I'm only mentioning this because it feels like something you'd talk about in the video, but you didn't, so maybe it's something new

6:04 I don't think I ever wanted to hug someone in my life as Vic. His situation is just fucked up and you gotta love him for doing his best.

[@DeezNutsOvaYoFace]

This is the only GTA game with the classic death of romantic partner leads to revenge storyline (apart from GTA IV where Kate gets whacked but she wasn’t gonna stick by Niko anyways in the end, alive or dead). What’s sad is that Louise and Vic were just starting to get serious before the Mendez brothers left her to bleed out, making her infant daughter an orphan. And since Vic has a huge part in making her half an orphan, his guilt leads him to kill the Mendez’ and Martinez. I’m not ashamed to say this gentlemen, my 12 year old self kinda cried when Louise was dying and Vic couldn’t save her. Fuelled my anger towards taking revenge against the brothers and Martinez but in the end the hollow victory doesn’t mean anything. No wonder Victor decides to get a personality overhaul and adopt a Latin accent by the time Tommy and co. visit the docks.

[@maxim196]

Vic didn't dicide to 'change' or anything . Rockstar just never considered making Vic a major character in 2002 with VC . I personally considered him to be Pete there and not Vic as he is completely unrecognisable

It’s a damn crime that this game was never ported again. Especially with the empire building mechanics. Hope it return even more refined in 6, the 5 property missions were boring and I want to see my businesses get bigger

42:52 little fun facts: Vic Vance are actually the shortest male GTA protagonist. he was around 5'7 feet. and little nod to Umberta he was small compare to Tommy in VC but in VCS he still towering Vic it really show you how tall Tommy is. the guy is around 6'3 feet

This is also my first GTA and the best GTA so far. I have played San Andreas but the businesses are fixed and you cannot do anything whereas in GTA: VCS you can start the business from scratch and you can choose what type of business you want. And the money you get from the business are so satisfying I don't even care to do missions to make money. And you get paid daily in the game, way better than GTA V, where you are paid weekly or VIce City and San Andreas where you have to physically pick up the money yourself.

I wish they ported this to PC.... I only played a mod which I think was put on San Andreas engine but the guys who did it never finished the whole game. Overall it's a pretty cool game and a warming return to Vice City.

[@jiffer6654]

This game definitely has one of the best story lines for a GTA game.

[@PointlessCarp]

Nice to see VCS get some much needed love! I have to point out though, that the glitch with the hovercraft seems to be exclusive to emulators, at least thats the only place I encountered the issue

[@Zoomer3989]

definitely cover GTA Chinatown Wars. Appreciate you doing both Stories games

[@maglekaer1]

Yeah. But go after the PSP version. It's better than the DS and iOS.

[@thegamingprozone1941]

​@@maglekaer1 I played the android version

[@parthibalam2995]

I played it back in 2014 really i don't understand how people miss out on this awesome game... Obviously after being released after san andreas this game didn't get enough lime light... This had one of the best stories after san andreas and gta 4

14:16 Reasons why I love the save state on PSP emulator 💁🏽‍♂️

[@karelpapousek6495]

1:27:07 If you mean Lance's line in Back Alley Brawl, which goes: "[I want] your green and my dead brother's white lady," then I think Lance was in fact referring to the money and cocaine lost in the failed deal at the start of the game as "green lady" and "white lady" respectively. I could be wrong, though.

Swimmable VC, Story as good as IV and an actual business empire which have to be the best late game content in GTA. Just sad that only limited amount of people can play this.

[@jariusspear]

Been watching your gta videos all week. This is the icing on the cake 🔥👍🏾 thank you for all the content! Keep it up 💪🏾

[@herrlichee1713]

Super underrated, I forgot all about this game lol. So happy you are doing this one. Also yes, Spirited Away is the best out of the SG movies and my all time favorite too.

[@djboogy3985]

VCS was the first GTA I ever played and I loved it. The soundtrack had a lot to do with it.

[@ardent9422]

I played Liberty City Stories on PSP, but I never got around to playing this one, and I feel exactly the way you do about it, being mad at myself for not playing it when it first came out. I watched a long play of it here on youtube, but that's not the same as actually playing it. I also downloaded OpenEMU and I think I have a copy of the game which I "acquired" but I haven't tried to play it, cause I don't know much about emulation and I don't want to mess up my Mac.
