motorcycles were added because they got banned in 2001 liberty city and helicopters were added because at the time gta 3 was made 9/11 happened a month after and they didn’t want to add any since it’s a replica of new york
IMO yes, though I would've liked for LCS to have more content. -We could've seen Joey, Luigi, and Franco Forelli. -We could've also seen more of Paulie Sindacco and especially Massimo Torini. -Half of the cutscenes should've been mocapped.
Also add some more dialogue during road trips and such. I always enjoy banter and conversations during missions on the way to the ddestinations and such as it always adds to character and makes everything feel more lively
The only issue LCS had, was with the storyline. Unlike other GTA games, LCS never had a well-designed antagonist. The only good antagonist the game offered is Vincenzo, everyone else like Massimo or Sindacco aren't even memorable. And yeah, you are right, Vincenzo SHOULD have been the final boss/antagonist.
Liberty City Stories was made to be a PSP game, and if you look at it that way and how it blew the roof off what a portable game was meant to be in 2005-it's actually just as groundbreaking as GTA 3.
i remember the day GTA San Andreas came to my local PlayGround (a person who owned a couple of consoles in his garage) I walked in and the owner told me, Hey Booza I got new games tell me is something of value here. And then I saw it but the owner wrote GTA 5 on it cause GTA 3 was 3 to him, VC was 4 I guess and 5 was San Andreas xD. I've spent that sunny summer day in a garage playing SA and that kid I knew back then was happy as fck.
This was a great game on the PSP at the time. I remember kids at my school being mind blown at the fact it was so similar to Liberty City in terms of the setting itself. They did a really good job in every way. I just can't think of anything negative to say besides the UMD being much slower than when I had it on my SD card. Sweet upload and you're going places with this small channel!
It's a nostalgic and underrated game. But honestly it was a huge downgrade considering his antecessor, GTA SA. GTA VCS had a lot more options, even its missions were better made (most LCS missions are the same and have worse cinematics). I think that it would have been great a gang war option between mafias and being able to buy properties, as well as being able to enter interiors such as King Knutz, Mr Benz or Punk Noodles (places that don't even have an interior). And of course I didn't understand why we couldn't go by helicopter or swim
REALLY agree on the interiors part. It feels odd to me on how a game that came out after VC doesn't have a bunch of freely accessible interiors besides like your hideouts and Sal's place.
I still remember beating liberty city stories. Amazing game that really showed what the psp was capable of but it has 1 glaring flaw: the mission payout is atrocious. Missions pay next to nothing (which you could argue is fitting considering how poorly the leones treated Tony) and the cost to attempt missions was too expensive (you needed thousands in weapons to pass the missions). Any failure would basically bankrupt you.
This game uses an “unknown” game engine, internally called R*L3D. It’s basically a tweaked RenderWare. Quite a few things can be backported to VC as it’s practically the same engine. That’s why we can play this game on PC by using reVC. But in reality, it just runs on a modified enough RW engine.
Remember playing on the PS2 whilst my little brother was playing on PSP. I remember we used to be amazed that the PSP version and the PS2 version where identical. We used to compare things. Although I totally forgot about this game, it put a massive smile on my face seeing this video.
@@AlfieTrevor4444 it's pretty cool to know our childhood games were being made in our vicinity. I knew there was one in Scotland but didn't think Leeds was THE CITY for it
I Like LCS more then I do GTA3, I've played through both fully, its just a better fleshed out version of 3 if u really think about it. Hope to see Remaster of both LSC & VCS + China Town. The 3 under appreciated GTA games.
GTA Liberty City Stories is Good The Main Theme Song is Iconic,The Costumes are Awesome, it has some of the Craziest Moments and Missions, The Soundtrack is Great,The Multiplayer is Fun and Yeah it's Great Addition in the GTA Franchise but i agree when it comes to the Main Antagonists they are Wasted Potential either Vincenzo should have been The Main Antagonist or Flesh out Massimo Torini into a More Of a Evil Antagonist for Toni Cipriani.
This was the first GTA I managed to beat so it's the most nostalgic for me. The only things I like more about GTA 3 are the soundtrack, and darker atmosphere. I agree rhat Vincenzo should've been the main antagonist. VCS is my favorite though.
I know nowadays you can Play GTA V on the Steam Deck like its nothing, but as someone who played GTA Advance as a kid, being exposed to a full fledged 3D GTA home console experience on the go, was mind blowing, I played GTA III a lot but I played LCS way more, simply because it was on the PSP, and I can play it wherever I wanted instead of being stuck on front of the family's old PC, it really felt like the future of gaming.
I think it did very well as the first 'proper' 3D handheld GTA game. It takes from Renderware engine used in Vice City, which is amazing considering VC was only released 3 yrs before this one. It is Top 5 PSP games of all time for a reason. At times this made me think, if it was possible for 3 or VC itself to be ported to the PSP?
Imagine playing GTA 3 in 2001, and someone telling you that within 4 years, you'd be playing a similar game on a handheld PlayStation? It would have blown my mind. I think LCS was the most played PSP game that I owned. I had VCS as well, but for some reason (I didn't enjoy VC as much most people did) it didn't vibe with me in the same way as LCS did. I wish we could have received a San Andreas Stories on the PS Vita, that would have been a system seller for sure.
*It's an improvement to the " original III " , technically speaking it've released after San Andreas, while in comparison to SA it's not so extensive, but in comparison to III or even VC it's features an improved gameplay /more variety..., probably better soundtrack/* *Fun fact: Toni Cipriani, the ID has been based of that of Tony Soprano which on the other hand was based of real life Vincent Palermo known as “Vinny Ocean” , Cipriani's appearance seems to be based of Thomas Pitera known as “Tommy Karate” .*
The game was decent. The storyline was badly underwritten though, especially the antagonists. Torini was undeniably the weakest Boss Fight of the entire franchise.
i remember when my dad got me my ps2, i had already played san andreas atmy friends house and its why i wanted a ps2 the most, but the console only came with liberty city stories and a few other games. i still had a lot of fun with liberty city it was just great , i played it to the death and forgot about san andreas until many months after
I remember when I was a kid on the last day of a school term we were all allowed to bring in our game consoles, most people had Nintendo ds and would spend the day playing Mario kart but about 10 of us had psp and would spend the day playing death matches on liberty city stories; absolutely brilliant I played this game to death on psp 👍🏻
ive played every gta game in my life a few times over and loved them all. but this one to me has the most replay ability of the old 3d era gta games.i still have to beat gta vice city stories tho.
It may not be perfect. But it fulfills its role of being an amazing GTA game on the PSP and I give it bonus points for being the very first GTA game I ever played.
I thought LCS bikes (aside of exclusive new bikes) are just copy paste from Vice City bikes models as LCS used VC engine. Turned out LCS has its own bikes models...yeah would be weird to see Vice City bikes in Liberty City, especially PCJ600.
even though it isn't the best GTA and very could possible be one of the bad of the 3D era, I think LCS is very fun and Rockstar Leeds did a pretty good job with no much experience nor time, it's really fun and I think that's what matters more, there could be improvementes done but this is the game with most sales from the PSP, that pretty much tells the quality of the game
so ironic to find this video since i just beat the game today for the first time on pcsx2. I think this became my fav 3D gta game, i had lot of fun with it compared to gta 3 which always gave me a bad vibe along with the terrible controls it had, LCS is basically GTA SA with GTA 3 map
San Andreas and Liberty City Stories were my whole childhood, my only complaint was that the antagonist was lame af Massimo Torini was bland compared to Tenpenny and Smoke but over all LCS is just as good as San Andreas and Vice City
I rank LCS ever so-slightly above VCS (both are goated). Both obviously have flaws but VCS downsides are super obnoxious downsides, plus one game has a DnB radio station and the other doesn't
I thought it was good it was my first ever grand theft auto game i have ever played its grand theft auto 3 but its a prequel to grand theft auto 3 it takes places in 1998 3 years before grand theft auto 3 gta 3 takes places in 2001 release in 2001 and gta lcs release 2005 release 4 years after gta 3 was released
The story line was ight like it was mediocre tbh but the feel is unique wouldnt play it only reason I played on iPhone was couse I’m a fan off the series
Having no nostalgia for this apart from having it as a kid and remembering it for how bad it ran on a PSP and playing VCS instead of it. It is by far the weakest 3D universe game, especially if played on real hardware, if we take the PS2 GTA 3 version and compare it to PS2 LCS, then sure, LCS is the better game. Also there's no way this engine is in any way related to RAGE.
i like how prequel of gta 3 has motorcycle and can drive helicopter
Cause it cameout years after GTA 3
You can’t drive a helicopter
shut ur ass up
Logically gta 3 was released way before, for canon reason bikes were banned in gta 3's time as it's mentioned in the game
motorcycles were added because they got banned in 2001 liberty city and helicopters were added because at the time gta 3 was made 9/11 happened a month after and they didn’t want to add any since it’s a replica of new york
IMO yes, though I would've liked for LCS to have more content.
-We could've seen Joey, Luigi, and Franco Forelli.
-We could've also seen more of Paulie Sindacco and especially Massimo Torini.

The only good antagonist the game offered is Vincenzo, everyone else like Massimo or Sindacco aren't even memorable. And yeah, you are right, Vincenzo SHOULD have been the final boss/antagonist.
I think the antagonist was the shenanigans of mafia/politics rampant corruption and greed through the eyes of Tony.
Forget about Vincenzo, Toni's mother shouldve been the antagonist
Yes his ma had better goons and foot soldiers than Vinny
Liberty City Stories was made to be a PSP game, and if you look at it that way and how it blew the roof off what a portable game was meant to be in 2005-it's actually just as groundbreaking as GTA 3.
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yeeeeeeeessssss
No it's doesn't stop capping
I got a date with a cheese deluxe
i got a date with a cheese deluxe 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
shut up u ashol
It actually was. The fact that I still comment on LCS videos 15 years later should prove that point
Is there a collation between LCS and Kickboxing?
I'm not trying to troll, I genuinely am curious. Was it really a good game or is it just nostalgic to you? Because I been wanting to play it

Spoiler alert: liberty city stories is amazing in every possible way
The main villains are shit
Correct
@@mr.andrew7820that’s because you are the main villain in the city 🏙️🦹 bro 😎 that’s what makes the game so good
Story is kinda boring but otherwise its nice
The story characters and main character are all shit though...most of the cutscenes are lazily made . Game's not amazing in every way
Connor and jay had that song change in gta 3 I loved it also great video ❤ btw I can’t believe Lcs sold more copies than vcs

Makes sense cause 90% of its mechanics are directly ripped off from Vice City and rest 10% from Sam Andreas

Not bad English

LCS has a better story and side missions. But VCS has a better map, better characters and better gameplay mechanics.
Vice City stories was captivating all the way through
ive played every gta game in my life a few times over and loved them all. but this one to me has the most replay ability of the old 3d era gta games.i still have to beat gta vice city stories tho.
I believe it is, just like every GTA that's 3rd person (VC, SA, VCS, LCS, 3, 4, EFLC and 5)
It may not be perfect. But it fulfills its role of being an amazing GTA game on the PSP and I give it bonus points for being the very first GTA game I ever played.
Yah imagine vincenzo is secretly working atsl Scisilians
Afaik, LCS's engine is not predecessor of RAGE, the predecessor of RAGE is the Angel Game Engine used by the Rockstar San Diego.
nice evolution bro❤
Loved this game on PS2 and PSP
I thought LCS bikes (aside of exclusive new bikes) are just copy paste from Vice City bikes models as LCS used VC engine. Turned out LCS has its own bikes models...yeah would be weird to see Vice City bikes in Liberty City, especially PCJ600.
I hope I will be remembered when you pass 1 mil subs ❤
I want to give this game a try on pcsx2. I tried playing it on original hardware, and i just can’t get past the below 30 fps when it’s on a big tv
the reason gta 3 didnt have voice for claude is because rockstar didnt want to overwork the workers to make gta 3
Sure buddy

Really great game, awesome radio stations as well.
First GTA game i finished without cheating
First GTA game I played
Was gta vice city stories actually good
Yes
Yes my 2nd fav GTA game
really really good, im a bit biased but vic is a good mc and you'll really empathize with him throughout the story
Yes, and the only gta that ever incorporated gang wars and territories, and businesses very well.
I see what u did there 😂
I just played this game for the first time today and you just dropped a vid about it. 🤣 Tbh i was really impressed with the game.
first GTA game i ever finished, i loved it
I'm playing it right now for the first time.
Vice City Stories was better but still it's a good game Glad i download it on my game PC (The PlayStation version)
The game engine for lcs and vcs is gamebryo since ea bought renderware in 04-05
To me it was one of the hardest but also funniest.
LCS and VCS both use renderware as their engines.
Can you do a video like this But on vice city stories???
There's one where I talk about why it never got remastered, but I will make another one soon.
hell yeah LCS is the GOAT 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Nah it's actually really good for a GTA on mobile and PSP.
Liberty City Stories Tenkaichi tag team and God of War Best PSP games
My most favourite gta game of fucking all time bro.
you rock

without watching the vid: yes, it fucking was, shame there's no pc port tho
I loved liberty city stories🐐✨
I remember playing on psp
U should review gta: forelli redemption. Its on pc, ps vita and on android.
Based and Ciprianipilled.
this game is only gta game which honestly gave me mafia vibes . 3 was bad in sense that claude was backstabbing prick , tony isn't . he is loyal

The water quality was horrible tho
the best in the 3D universe after the GTA 3
Nah man sa is best
Yes, and so was vice city stories
I love the gta games but Liberty city stories I just couldn’t get into it
Yes but VCS took it to the next level.
6:58 - 7:02
Claude a not dumb.Because he is dont like a talk
It was alright VCS was better
This game was sooo goood
If gta would have started as an Xbox exclusive it would have been so much better quality wise.
Vice city stories was better but it was good
yes it was
Gta 3 all the missions sucked lc stories missions were actually decent and kept you entertained
Yea it was
I feel like this video is clickbait because why tf wouldnt it be
The title asks a question, and the video answers it based on my opinion, not sure what's wrong with it.
Yes!
Yes
Yes it was
LCS is good, but VCS is better…
nahhhhh what is blud saying
