Hello everyone, I'm the 2nd script editor. I'll leave some aclarations: - The prize for beating firefighter missions is a flame thrower, not fire proof. -This video was made BEFORE the fixes of the Definitive Edition, but regardless we wanted to focus this video on the release version of it, so we are not discussing the new gameplay mechanics added to that version. -The humor presented on this video should be taken as entretainment and not as something serious. If you don't like it, you can close the video and look at other stuff. -beat fox15 has a feet fetish.
That intro with O Mio Babbino Caro, it's beautiful. I've said this before on multiple other retrospectives of GTA 3, while it has aged the worst in the 3D trilogy, it still holds a special place in my heart for me. The atmosphere of the game alone with it's muted dull tones, thick fog, and general darkness is fantastic, and still makes it stand out from VC and SA. GTA 3 will always be a huge stepping stone for Rockstar, and I'm glad it's still being remembered, even if it hasn't aged perfectly.
@@Maximus6G out of some the games that came out during that year, this aged better in my opinion, but hey, it’s better than most of the open world games that comes out nowadays.
cool video, i expected this to be another one of those mission by mission retrospectives that doesn't touch on any of the side content or everything else but this was different and i appreciate that gta3 is my favourite one out of the series alongside san andreas, something about the missions, atmosphere, the city's design, etc. just clicks right for me and i keep coming back to it pretty often
Thanks so much for your comment! Our idea was basically paying an homage to a game that can be considered as the "father" of the series and we wanted to highlight more on everything and how it also changed the culture in the early 2000s.
Great video brother, GTA 3 is one of those "dont meet your heroes" moments for someone like me. It's legacy is undeniable and irrevocable, but in 2024, it's undeniable just how much this game has aged, though some might say that adds to it's charm
I won't forget the time my dad bought me gta 3 for the ps2, i remember me and my friends were stuck with having to go to one of those cafe/computer stores and we stuck with either playing flash games or gta 2 and for the ps2 i was mostly into games nfs, silent hill and a few platformer games, but out of all of them gta 3 got me hooked the most, the controls might be clunky but the open world and the amount of stuff it had was pretty good for it's time, my fondest memory was when me and my dad took turns trying to complete missions, there was also a magazine that had cheats on it, i don't remember what the name was called but we used to call it the cheater magazine 😂
You don't get fire resistance in GTA 3 for beating the firefighter missions, you get a flamethrower spawn at your safehouses, fire resistance is for beating it in Vice City and San Andreas
Dude, stop calling the game outdated! It was anything but outdated in 2001. Besides, GPS was not *that* popular back then, and what would a mute guy do with a cell phone.
Outdated by today standards. We literally said in the entire video that for 2001 it was revolutionary. Mind you that neither VC and SA didn't had GPS but their maps were easy to understand. Also when we brought the use of cellphones? lol
@moonrunner032 I didn't criticize you for saying anything about cell phones, but I literally only heard you saying how revolutionary the game was and how bad the AI is. And I know that the 3D-era had no GPS, and I kinda wish it was the case with many modern games, too. Sure, games like Far Cry 5 or Assassin's Creed Odyssey have HUGE AF maps, but they're a lot more frustrating, too. You literally need a map marker for everything! In the 3D-era GTAs, you had a marker on your map and you had to plan the optimal route. Sure, III would've benefited from a VC or SA-like map, but the devs didn't think of that at the time. Besides, Espresso 2 Go wasn't really that hard, except you needed a Rhino or a bulletproof car, like Ray's Patriot, to complete it, but the time limit was really forgiving. It literally didn't start before destroying any of the "coffee" stands. Kingdom Come wasn't that bad either. S.A.M. and The Exchange, though... I legit couldn't beat the Exchange without cheats.
@@DetectivePhatWeedington It's *still* enjoyable for what it is. A whole lot more than Grabs Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto London and Grand Theft Auto 2 with their tank controls and arcade-esque gameplay. They're still enjoyable, but the controls take a while to get used to on keyboard and mouse. Maybe a a gamepad could help. I always say that games, whenever it's possible, are best experienced in their original form, or as close to it as possible. And I hate it when they compare old games to new ones. It's like comparing a 20-year-old computer to a modern one. I could start saying how slow and outdated my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo from around 2003-2004 compared to my HP Victus 16,with it's 800 MHz CPU, 1 GB DDR2 RAM and 128 MB GPU, but it wouldn't be a fair comparison. Just like it's not fair to compare GTA 3 to GTA V or IV, or VI when it gets released. Compare it to games of the ear, like San Andreas or Vice City. Or, going with your Apple example, compare the iPhone to an iPhone 16 Pro, because there are no iPods anymore.

Grand Theft Auto III is my favorite entry in the series. The atmosphere is sublime and the simplicity is endearing.
