Revisiting GTA 3..... The Game That Changed Everything!

[@TheNathanNS]

Publishing early because I'm in a great mood 👍 Happy 20th to GTA 3... in about 3 months 😂

[@baxterbunny4403]

gta3 was good

[@AN-xi1vk]

Honestly Vice City was one of my favorites, SA is a classic, 4 is great, 5 can be fun, but 3 was my absolute first GTA game and in my opinion was the funniest in terms of physics and AI behavior. I don't think I'll ever forget a game as good as this. Thanks for this man

[@nigelstonier2860]

Watching this video made me want to play it

[@GrifterTheBoyIdiot]

Where is our new video on bully??

[@TheNathanNS]

@@GrifterTheBoyIdiot This week. I'm still doing that mostly, Rockstar Retrospectives is a bit of a break from it sometimes.

[@matildeticca4378]

The plot sometimes it's a little bit poor , but it is still a great game , full of fun , irony and such an original atmosphere...imagine how revolutionary and surprising was this game in 2001

[@QFilmz]

Imagine ? i got it on release day 😂 matter of fact I was waiting for it’s release back in 2000

What wbiut the plot is poor in your opinion. I actually quite like it knowing gta vice city, san andreas, liberty city stories all play a role in it.

[@sirgatt0]

I still play this on mobile like a maniac,finished 100% completition over 4 times

[@ohnoitschris]

I can agree with the story being relatively weak, though that brings to mind just how GTA3 is such a product of its time - dense stories in games were still in their infancy and practically exclusive to RPGs. GTA 3's storyline progression was similar to Zelda games, with characters sending the silent protagonist out on missions, and you, the player, fill in the protagonist's thoughts and comments in your head. It's amazing how video game storytelling really took off after GTA3. It might just be Rockstar's last game where the story served as just a reason why you're doing what you're doing, and not as an actual tale to be told. And despite its controversies, it seemed to help games as a medium grow fearless about telling stories that would actually appeal to adults. Sure, Planescape Torment and Silent Hill came before, but those were niche, and not something Jack Thompson could throw a fit about. GTA3 made way for so many great evolutions in game design, and storytelling is definitely one of them. Even if its own story is pretty dated and simple

[@therandomizer7774]

The game was pretty complex for it's time.I played it recently for the nostalgia and I'm surprised that this video came out! Thanks Nathan!

[@TheNathanNS]

No problem!

[@mikerodriguez8574]

It was a game changer. Not many game changing games exist. Mrs. PAC Man, Street Fighter II, FFVII, Super Mario Bro’s, Super Mario 64, Resident Evil, WoW, The Sims, and a few more that I can’t think of right now.

[@elmandarin1002]

I would love to buy a full remake of GTA III.

[@RedX165]

You can will soon

[@thatdog2472]

@@RedX165 was it ?

[@realhuman5688]

I like to tjink that gta III’s difficulty wasn’t even intentional. They were just fucking around with this new 3D engine and didn’t think about other stuff and made some stuff super difficult

[@pr0dr4mp4ge]

🔥

[@OniYasukei]

Gta 4 has the best police missions

[@ozy667]

9/11 changed everything, changed even this game you know right?

[@The_StrangeMan]

Hopefully it gets a Mafia DE kind of treatment. But it seems unlikely as they have another remaster/remake on the way; GTA V EE Also, "You want a chainsaw, gringo?" and "It's no problem to kill you"

[@TheNathanNS]

Down with GTA V, up with GTA III

[@Nassyy]

"I real scared, gringo" Took me 20yrs to realize what the Cartel thug was actually saying.

[@King29Lewis]

Interesting

You got your wish…but horribly butchered

[@samisnoob8454]

The map of gta 3 is still confusing me this days

[@ssssssssssssssssss50]

I'm only confused by Shoreside Vale.

[@micohdeguzmandmd]

The first time I really played this game was in an iPad and man I struggled on that Espresso 2 Go mission I was clueless where to go due to the lack of map. After about 10 tries I managed to memorize the locations and finished the game but man it was stressful. Still, a great game regardless.

[@QFilmz]

Huh iPad 😂 you played it several years later , this came out in October 2001 , that’s when I got it on release day

[@micohdeguzmandmd]

@@QFilmz well it's not my fault that I don't have any gaming consoles way back and the first GTA I ever played was Vice City...in an internet cafe in '03. I got to enjoy them regardless that's what's important.

[@devangnivatkar2649]

Doesn't the iPad version have a map?

[@gunship4720]

I hope we get a remaster/remake. And some cool collectables. I just don't want a car for GTA online. Its 20 years...this game deserves something big. Its my favorite in the series and in my top 10 games of all time, and its probably #1 if I sat down to name them all.

[@advancedpro7608]

You predicted the new GTA Trilogy

[@AronProd]

6:37 in Vice City Stories you can bribe the police 2k (as far as I remember) to take your weapons back. An amazing feature honestly.

[@AronProd]

Looks amazing in 4k! Great work Nathan.

[@nigelstonier2860]

This was my first GTA game.

[@mansour7117]

Keep up the good work

[@Hamza20078]

This is so old school like if you played this game on ps2

[@ransacked]

Thanks for always being based, never ebegging or saying gta is transphobic. You the man bro keeping it real with the gaming content. Keep it up!

[@TheNathanNS]

I personally like to try and make my own money as best I can. Stocks, crypto, re-selling and currently planning on buying coin-op arcade machines to see if I can set them up somewhere for some extra passive income😂

[@cheeseboyVEVO]

what's your favourite gta game

[@JBM1428]

Currently working on getting the platinum/ 100% for GTA 3. It’s been pretty smooth and fun so far! Only real pain in the ass was completing the paramedic side mission. I can see why people say it’s tedious to 100% but I enjoy exploring for hidden packages or doing the side mission stuff between story missions. It pads out the game nicely. I feel like I would finish the game in two sittings if I just went from story mission to story mission

[@yasirahmed608]

Love your content

[@TV-Tony]

I guess that's the benefit of getting all the hidden packages in the game. Same with Vice City and San Andreas, unless you date Barbara. That is, if you die, you can pick up weapons at your safehouse. Although in San Andreas, you only get a few weapons when doing the tags, so you gotta find the horseshoes to get the better weapons later. So you're better off just buying the weapons again until you date Barbara in that game.

[@alnut2191]

Rockstar: "You forget a thousand things everyday... Make sure GTA 3 is not one of them!"

[@rennmaxbeta]

Mission payouts are probably higher in this game because all the player's weapons are taken away after getting wasted... It's quicker to rearm with more game money?

[@MarcusDobson916]

The "well stacked pizza" restaurant give huge pizza gate vibes lol

[@vaniukk3100]

Guess I’m the only one who likes the graphics of GTA III. :))

AHH back when the gaming industry wasnt total garbage 🗑️

[@valirer4444]

Haven't aged incredibly well unfortunately

[@lebogangmathonsi3231]

The only thing I disliked about this game was the lack of side content

[@lemondigit7309]

I think this game aged very poorly and i didnt like it at all like i did vice city and sand andreas

[@rusty9649]

Ok

[@realhuman5688]

One thing though the map is there in the mobile version

[@Blackmorerainbowcatch]

Atleast In gta 4 you can buy clothes,food and guns

[@fartass8299]

And if you are low on health you can call an ambulance and they will heal you

[@rickyretriever4503]

The Clothing in GTA IV is pretty mediocre. The only clothing store that is good is the Russian Shop & maybe Perseus because of the PC exclusive suits.

[@Blackmorerainbowcatch]

@@rickyretriever4503 the clothes suit Niko, not everything has to be the wierdest stuff like in GTA sa

[@XzaroX]

6:30 Just save after every mission and load after every death. I really don;t know why would anyone else continue after dying in these games.

[@hermeso9713]

When I completed gta 3 and checked player stats, I was surprised to find hospital visits to be 0, I guess I was really in the habit of just reloading a save after every mission fail or deatb

[@stuartmorris6299]

Best GTA game by a mile.

[@ethanblair7351]

Its a bit of a rip off you played the vice city stories intro instead of grand theft auto lll's theme but what ever they definitely should port more rockstar games games on xbox one and series x

[@TheNathanNS]

I played all 3D era themes, GTA 3's was the first, then VC, SA, LCS, VCS etc

[@ethanblair7351]

@@TheNathanNSI was referring to the outro actually but I guess it was intentional PlayStation three is truely the surpreme way to play rockstar games titles as you can play most PlayStation one games and PlayStation two games such as manhunt two and early versions of some games which were the best on PlayStation two such as bully and grand theft auto v online on ps3 as it has no hyper futuristic weapons shame it closed down but there still grand theft auto iv online theres tons of games I wish were on xbox compatability such as manhunt I would of bought a duke controller for that game also red dead revolver and the grand theft auto titles i'm surprised they never ported them to xbox one

[@BullworthGraduate]

Any chance you may do a retrospective of the 2D games, specifically GTA 2? I just beaten it for the first time this month and enjoyed every minute of it. It was fun but also challenging at times. Definitely an underrated game in the series, especially compared to the later titles in the series.

I aim to get around to them sometime, but unsure when

Soon.

Gta vc has unlimited ammo and gta 4 it removes the 1,500 ammo max limit 😁 also on vice city stories you can buy your weapons back that was the final 3D era gta

[@TheNathanNS]

Yeah but the 1500 ammo limit is bugged in GTA IV, apparently half the time it stops working and reverts back to 1.5k limits once you reload a save.

GTA III was a ground breaking game when it came out, sure it doesn't hold up to later games but when I came out, that was the coolest game you could own. I have played this game multiple times, when I have only beat GTA 5 once because it doesn't have as much depth, it feels like R-Star rushed GTA 5 just to sell online gameplay.

[@mandalore1089]

Come on guy, GTA V has so much more depth than III, it's not even close.

[@hambone8820]

@@mandalore1089 The only "depth" is online play. I'm not saying the GTA 5 wasn't fun. But there's no replay value. I have played the PS2 GTA titles multiple times. I haven't picked up GTA 5 after I beat it.
