VCS is imo, the best gta ever made. Sa and gta 4 are usually ranked highest, but im not a big cj fan and find sa to be written very poorly with it losing the plot after leaving los santos in the beginning and only remembering it towards the end when it suddenly remember and wraps everything up. Sa is also so much padding and filler imo. Gta 4 is great but its so slow in so many places and so long that it really drags on repeat playthroughs. vcs is the pinnacle of gta to me, and vic as a protagonist is tied with toni behind tommy in my top 3 protags
I couldn't agree more VCS feels some much tighter with its story, I still think sanandress is amazing for just how big the world is and everything it did with it, but the middle act Definity felt a little aimless! it sucks that VCS was such a hard game to get your hands on! so a lot of people didn't get to experience one of the best 3d gta entries!
@@ARFed I also found the story to have the seriousness, the loss, the tragedy that I see as a prototype for what gta 4 would dive deep into. But it balanced that out with going even more over the top 80s than even vice city did, and that's an impressive task. I thought the map was better, more accessible, with more detail and neon, and opinions aside, VCS skybox is the most beautiful and colorful of any gta, while it has its bright blues, it often has vibrant shades of burning orange, pink, and purple, that flood the world with atmosphere.
@@emceenati1497RIGHT? Rockstar was really starting to focus their writing and I could actively tell they were trying! I am really gonna miss that '80s vibe from GTA 6 but I'm so excited to see what we get. Thanks for the insight brother!
I remember my mom buying this for me when i was a kid, it was only $20 brand new, i guess cause it was a "budget" title, it was so cheap, but man, i love this game, still have my PS2 copy!
Hands down the best 3D-Era GTA game. In my humble opinion, it’s what San Andreas could’ve been. Overall a great and fun game. From the storyline to the empire building and the solid variety of vehicles. You’ve got quads, bicycles, motor bikes and helicopters. And most importantly the python, the greatest pistol ever. All that packed in vice city? On a handheld console? Awesome.
@@moechte.gern.zeichner6521 couldn’t have said it better myself!! It’s a shame games now take so long to develop and don’t pack half the stuff older gta titles had
The probable reason why Vic later involved in his last drug deal in 1986 GTA VC is because of his younger brother Pete asthma treatment (US healthcare) not necessarily because of Lance. His brother Pete is the whole reason why he had to help martinez and later involve in drug dealing in the first place
I remember getting vcs and lcs in one package with my psp, and i think its very underrated, the fact that it was released by the end of the ps2's life cycle and people getting hyped up for gta 4, it got forgotten overtime, the story was amazing and the business empire was a great improvement, sure it was ridiculously hard but at the end of the day its still one of the greatest gta games alongside san andreas and gta 4
Personally opinion , I’d say all three of the stories are underrated compared to the main stream gta games , Chinatown wars is my favorite out of the three . They should definitely remaster these games or at least port them to current consoles .
@@Thebroshow13 Ironically I’ve never played Chinatown but I always kept hearing good things about it!I guess the top down camera kept me away but now I Definitely want to give it a try!
I’m currently stuck on the mission where you use a forklift to take the boxes on the truck while the room is burning down. I don’t remember me originally being stuck on this mission but now I am. Skill issue I think so…
@@UnknownEASTT OKAY I TOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! It took me way to long to pass it, it’s one of those you just have to lock in and hope you don’t hit any edges
Great video I agree with everything GTAVCS is definitely the most underrated gta. I like all gta games except gta 1, gta 2, gta london, gta advanced and chinatown, these games from a bird's eye view just didn't catch me much, but other than that I'm a gta sucker. Gta vcs is the last gta I played before gta 6 and I bought a playstation 2 just to play gtalcs and gtavcs and I have to say that gtavcs surprised me the most gta vcs is as good as Gta vice city and Gta San andreas and it's a real shame that not many people played this game Jerry Martinez is my favorite villain from the gta series I would say he is even a little bit better than Tempenny definitely more hilarious. Only complaint about this video Phil Cassidy doesn't appear in every gta from 3d universe because he's not in GTA San Andreas
Thanks brother! I’m glad I’m not the only one who was surprised at just how much of a gem vice city stories is! I can’t believe rockstar left it an exclusive, the fun I could have had as a kid hahahah😭 and omg you’re absolutely right Cassidy wasn’t in San Andreas! he was even mentioned in manhunt so it was missed opportunity if ask me hahaha!
@@thetrashedpictureshow1814 are you kidding me I was so hyped when it was announced, I think I saw it in the Xbox magazine first and ended up renting when it came out!! i think that was one of the last games i ever rented from blockbuster's HAHAa. are you going to do a retrospective!??
@@thetrashedpictureshow1814 I can't wait!! I want to do one on Concrete Jungle soon, so underrated. oh but Gun is the only game that I missed out on, I was really into Red Dead Revolver so I thought Gun was like a cheap knockoff. seeing the game now i know i would have had a blast, so dumb hahah
If they didn't made this for the PSP at first, it will be more sucessful. The PSP port is horrible next to the PS2 port. It has way more bugs... The VCS could be the best GTA alongside with the GTA SA. I really needed just a few features from the GTA SA, like the fast food restaurants, and the character skills. That would be cool, if you can became fat.
@@adamtm8255 I just started emulating for the psp and you’re absolutely right, I don’t realize how simplified the controls where for the psp port! I’m lucky I played the ps2 version first, I’m surprised they didn’t implement more things from San Andress, but what they did was awesome 😮💨

2nd best gta of all time, right behind san andreas.
for real, I go back and forth between these two as best game! but GTA San address always comes out on top
nostalgia gotta hit hard to call this the second best gta 😭😭😭😭
@@fertigkippen nope, VCS in the 3D era is the 2nd best title.
Nah, vice city 1 is the best then vcs second, SA is 3
Period 💯💯💯💯
