boneless gta 3

now, this game is not bad by any means. it's quite decent and there is definitely some fun to be had here. in terms of mechanics, LCS improves on 3 in every single way possible (barring crouching not being available). you actually have bikes now, the shooting isnt annoying, the cars handle normally compared to 3's cars which couldnt stay stable for a second.

however, it's a complete downgrade in every other aspect imaginable. somehow, LCS manages to have a less engaging story than 3's fairly simple and barebones story because around 80% of the cutscenes in this game are not motion captured so any sort of impact they could have had is thrown out the window (the final showdown with the main antagonist isnt motion captured lol). toni is a terrible protagonist with awkward voice acting and writing, it genuinely would've been better if he was just silent. the main antagonist is someone we've passed by once or twice in the game and he doesnt even know toni exists, gta 3's main antagonist on the other hand is someone we are familiar with the entire game so it works well. the pacing is awkward and it takes too long for anything interesting to happen. something else that makes this story less engaging is the fact toni is tied to the mafia the entire game, despite the story being more or less moving the same path as gta 3 did (working for a yakuza member, working for donald love, working for a corrupt cop, etc.), it does not work as well as 3 did because claude was a one man army, he wasnt affiliated with anyone and would do anything just to progress giving for interesting missions and ideas we dont see in LCS (i.e. sayonara salvatore and waka-gashira wipeout in 3).

3's radio is one of my personal favorites in gta because of how short the stations were and that gives almost a sense of comfort while playing the game, LCS's was also short but it felt more obnoxious than 3 despite them trying to imitate the same radio sound and a lot of songs were more annoying than nostalgic or good.

the missions were not nearly as chaotic or open ended as 3's were, i would always be excited playing 3's missions despite them getting really hard sometimes because of the chaoticness most missions provided. however this is not present here as a lot of missions rely on gimmicks such as following cars (ugh), just generally forgettable missions.

now, i have criticized this game to hell and the sensible thing to do would be to give it like a 1/5 or something, right?

despite all that i said here, i think there is still quite some fun to be had here with the game as some missions were still fun and the improved mechanics make driving around LC way more fun. i still prefer 3's more darker atmopshere in its city but it's still LC here so i had a lot of fun driving even if a lot of the songs sucked ("sing it back" fucks hard though). decent game that was a serious achievement as it was made for a handheld.

toshiko my beloved.

Superou minhas expectativas, ouvi dizer que o jogo é meio rushado e incompleto, mas foi o contrário.

As missões são bem divertidas e bem variadas no geral, a maioria sendo luta contra gangues e mafias e gosto como isso afeta o mundo com elas indo atrás de você. Até algumas mais absurdas como explodir um quarteirão inteiro.

Meus problemas é a dificuldade de jogar esse jogo hoje em dia, com o port feito por fã cheio de bugs como softlocks e uma polícia extremamente agressiva ou o PPSSPP que rodou bem no geral só que na etapa final do jogo ficou engasgando muito por algum motivo, tornando injogável. Também um pouco de desbalanceamento das armas, você mata e morre extremamente rápido e com isso exige muita estratégia.

No geral recomendo o jogo, a história não é nada especial mas conseguiu me entreter e supreendemente tem muita sidecontent pra se fazer.

BEST THEME SONG IN THEME SONG HISTORY HOLY FUCK. THE SICKEST ELECTRIC GUITAR BASSLINE YOU'LL EVER HEAR IMMEDIATELY TELLS YOU YOU'RE ABOUT TO PLAY THE HARDEST FUCKING PSP GAME EVER, STEP ASIDE BALLSACKBOY. ESCALATED INTO THIS DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL EXPLOSION TO ESTABLISH THE GRAND SCOPE YOU'VE COME TO EXPECT FROM ROCKSTAR, BEFORE ADDING THAT MAFIA UNDERWORLD FLAIR BY TRANSITIONING INTO THE MOST ITALIAN SOUNDING ASS MELODY OF ALL TIME, I GOT CHUNKS OF MEATBALLS LODGED IN MY PSP'S D-PAD I'M COMPLETELY ERECT

And then the game loads and you're playing as the lamest fucking dork in creative writing history lmao YOU PLAY AS THE GUY WHO STILL SUCKS HIS MUM'S TITTIES AT AGE 40 COME ON. Toni Cipriani is the type of guy to browse old Internet forums from 1992 about his passion for scrapbooking

Which really sums this game up. It's got everything you'd expect from a GTA classic - the fast paced gameplay, epic setpieces, amusing satirical undertones - but with core DNA that's just slightly less captivating than the others. I enjoy it in the moment, but I can only remember like three missions a year later. It's your standard GTA missions you've done a million times. They're fun, but the game lacks an identity. It's forgettable.

Also, the soundtrack MUST have been organised by a deaf guy, IT SUCKS ASS WHAT IS THIS. GTA III's soundtrack mostly consisted of lesser known artists because they had a tight music budget, so this game intentionally does the same as a callback to those days... BUT YOU CAN USE ARTISTS THAT COST MORE THAN $5.

The rap station sounds like how my grandmother hears rap music. The pop station somehow found pop fluff more forgettable than what's on actual pop stations. Reggae. All reggae is terrible and reggae's in this game.

The worst 3D GTA, which says more about the quality of the others rather than necessarily the quality of this, because this game still fucking FUCKS

There’s nothing to dislike here. The writing in these spin off ‘stories’ GTA games definitely does not reach the high point of the mainline series, but I suppose that is to be expected.

I don’t think it’s a narrative that will linger long in the memory but it was fun whilst it lasted.

I probably would have had more fun if I had played it on PSP, but having never owned one - I cannot say.

Imma keep it 💯 chief. I just loved playing this game because you can play as a giant fucking chicken and decapitate people with a katana.

I know these PSP GTA games are kind of infamous for not being all that amazing, and not expanding the formula after San Andreas; but the core GTA experience is still here and it is just as fun as ever. I mean, I didn't even realize this was supposed to be a PSP game until waaaay later down the line, that's how much it feels like a normal GTA game.

If you want a good CLASSIC GTA game set in Liberty City, just skip GTA III and actually play this one instead, it is just miles better in pretty much every aspect.

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down
Lord above, thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town
But you're, but you're one in a million
'Cause you've got that shotgun shine, shame about it
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes, yeah
Woke up this morning
(You got a blue moon)
Got a blue moon in your eyes
(So sad)
(Goddamn, a goddamn shame about it)
Woke up this morning
(You got a blue moon)
Got a blue moon in your eyes

Ох, эта игра... Начал её на psp, страдал от управления psp, долгих и сложных миссий, и вроде бы всё было хорошо, до момента миссии убийства вакагаширы острова стонтон. Игра просто вылетала при подходе к будущей конспирационной квартире Клода.
Благо есть прекрасный эмулятор, на котором в эту игру было играть одно удовольствие.
В целом игра неплоха, но сейчас понимаю что каждая GTA актуальна именно в годы своего выхода, именно тогда в ней хочется находиться постоянно. Пока что самая слабая часть из опробованных
