This brought back so many memories of getting the special vehicles as a kid. Story was pretty mid, but if you have special vehicle autism this game was made for you. It had awesome unique cars like the V8 Ghost and Hellenbach GT, tons of rare cars that only show up in 1 or 2 missions, and the most amazing color combos for exclusive color special vehicles. Add in the fact that you can convert cars to heavy and crashproof, and that the garages save more properties(heavy, tip-proof, pop-proof, unique handling etc) it's a fucking dream. Standouts were the heavy Firetruck in that FBI Car mission, Salvatore's heavy black Banshee, and the blue brown Landstalker you can get from a side mission that's basically everything except explosion-proof. I used to use the cheat device on PS2 when I was 8 or 9 too, just to see what other leftover vehicles they had. I remember it having the curvy bus from 3/VC, the VCN Maverick(but chrome for some reason), the Dodo(but it doesn't move), Police Maverick(an unused normal version and not the unsolid one that chases you) and the Hunter before it was discovered.
Also om0 is so broken in LCS that u can manage to unlock debug menus. On PSP u can unlock a mission selector menu that lets u play and go to any mission at any time, and on PS2 u can unlock a car spawner which lets u spawn unused cars like Dodo, the Bus from GTA III, Maverick, Hunter, even the rc vehicles which u can actually drive on ps 2 because they have actual door animations so they dont make the game crash unlike the PSP. Also just a fun fact u can get a "Police maverick" in ur garage in the PSP version of the game using the "Marked virus glitch". I highly recommend watching LethalVaccine's videos as hes a vehicle collector for years at this point
@@thegamingboi1959 Cool. When I was still part of the car collecting community, the theory was the Hunter was a left over debug code, not an actual Easter egg.
The most memorable thing about LCS is the old Arabian & South Asian radio station that R* randomly put in the game lmao. I actually played it a lot on the PS2 back in the day. Not my favourite entry but i preferred it over GTA 3.
I hope whoever Josh gets to do thumbnails and titles keeps the same style, because Josh not doing the popular YT-er bullshit in them is so much better imo.
Although the game itself gails to be outstanding, I respect the hell out of it for how off the rails and goofy certain characters and events are in the story: a cannibal, a sexual deviant pimp/brothel owner, batshit crazy grandmother, crooked journalist, domestic terrorism and the list goes on and on
The most okayest GTA Rockstar ever made. It's the one I grew up with the most on my PSP however, Rise FM and MSX in this game, I'd argue are even better than III. Glad to see you finally play it Josh!
Hey Josh, i don't comment on videos much but i wanted to say, Been following since 2020 and i've been watching Cut and... Un? Cut. I really do enjoy both speedrun and casual content from you. Thank you for the great content!
I've played this once as well, but I did mission - side mission - mission early on, so didn't notice that almost every mission involves losing the cops That said, I think the speedrun routes of these missions use bribe stars instead of Pay N Spray
6:25:50 everyone was giving Josh shit for this but he's right. I made the same mistake on my very first playthrough and then another playthrough like a decade later lol. In my I thought that 1) The game would punish you for taking control too early, so you'd need to wait until he got to the meeting and 2) The game would warn you that he was almost at the meeting. It didn't emphasize "Press X NOW!!!"
I always like how insane Donald Love is in this game. It's like quasi-Bateman but more insane in his own way, like blewing up a block full of people or eating his nemesis's corpse. LCS is grim despite it present itself as a dark humor throughout the game sarcastic-filled dialogue
5:41:18 Possibly because it's too much hassle to implement for little gain. You have to somehow model the windshield being broken when you start shooting, you have to have the proper animations. And you will probably need a lot of animations because vehicles have interiors of different dimensions so you will also have to take care of the fact that animations can phase through some cars. There's also the thing that if you allow it in taller vehicles you may have to adjust where the shots come from on the Y axis as opposed to lower cars. Either that or make it irrelevant such that a player in a truck shooting in front of them would hit everything in front of them regardless whether it's below the line of fire. I guess the latter is more or less the case because you can drive-by in trucks though, so not sure what exactly to make of the last point
Since you're making a new layout anyway: I wish more streamers put a (tiny) date+clock somewhere on the screen, so it's always clear how old the vod is.
Wow, I didn't know you could get a maverick that early in the game. I usually get the one in False Idols, and immediately store it at the staunton safehouse
Got LCS for the PSP when it first came out. It was a very janky game but enjoyable at times. The radio stations were really good. It hasn't aged well I don't think sadly.
My 10 years old self would've loved to have known about the Hunter "easter egg" thing. Also, about the PS5 Pro.. Are you concerned that GTA 6 will not even run at 60fps on that console? RDR2 didn't run 60fps when the PS4 Pro came out, even on regular PS5. Are you fine with just small visual improvements?
Hey Josh would you consider doing a playthrough like this of Body Harvest for the n64? it's kind of like a "prototype" GTA made by Rockstar before they were even Rockstar in case you don't know of the game, I tried to search if you had already streamed it but couldn't find it so sorry if you already have!
Is the Leone family made up of just 2 or 3 guys? There's Toni, Salvatore, and the guy who was ordering Toni around in the beginning... and I don't remember seeing any henchmen or just any other members in general! I watched the first half while kinda falling asleep, but in the later half it always seems to be Toni and Salvatore (a mafia boss!) are the ones doing stuff, and nobody else shows up.
Mickey is the Soldier Vincenzo is the Capo Salvatore is obviously the don Associates are Vincenzo’s Dealer from “Slacker” and JD Toni was an associate since he left the city, then became a Soldier and towards the end of the game a Capo.
6:57:08 As the sort-of normie I am, when GTA 6 is out, I'll be watching the stream that says they're playing on Xbox, thank you very much But I will watch the Joshimuz stream once it's on TH-cam ;)
2:45:39 so far this game feels indeed like an inferior VCS which is a shame VCS is probably one of the best GTAs and I can't believe LCS with much worse writing got a remaster
Yeah it feels like Rockstar made LCS just for testing the waters, really weird game. I still have a soft spot for the game though because there's a lot of over-the-top stuff that happens in the game, even for GTA standards.
I remember playing this a lot on my PSP back when I was a kid, learning all the secrets and easter eggs in this game always made me excited. Though, coming back as an adult, I realized now how "ok-ish" this was compared to the other GTA games. It's not the best GTA game but it's still a great game to relive childhood memories.
This game was released 2005, im pretty sure this is not the first ever GTA Liberty City Stories Playthrough.
Yeah, somebody needs to teach this joshimuz guy some fact checking
🤔

Damn, new finding in LCS. Last time I've seen debug mode it was used to spawn an indestructible hunter in one of the missions.
@@shellshockedgerman3947it was found like 2 years ago
@shellshockedgerman3947 the debug menu was discovered 2 years ago. The hunter spawning was just a silly little easter egg left by a dev.

msx gang rise up
Liberty Jam FM. Desert Storm radio show killin' it
The most 'by-the-numbers' GTA
3:24:40 can't believe Josh was the Bay Harbour Butcher
Goated reference
Lets goooo! Im ready for any non GTASA speedrun Josho content as never before)
36:22 Photo OP mentioned1!!!111!!!1!!
Yes finally josh plays gta lcs , i always asking for it
Ikr? Me too, homie
I always had a soft spot for this and Vice City Stories as a general rule. Yeah they were smaller projects, but they had heart, both of them.
I thought I would play it in a few hours... looks like Josh did it before me. Lets do this.
Hey Josh, i don't comment on videos much but i wanted to say, Been following since 2020 and i've been watching Cut and... Un? Cut. I really do enjoy both speedrun and casual content from you.
Thank you for the great content!
the banner music for this game sounds like a mobile ringtone lmao
I love the radio stations on this game
Famous VCS runner Josh plays LCS!

i cried laughing when sal went into the water
Heck yeah
My first video game ❤
I disagree
Eww
@@jimmy_newborn5922 wtf are you responding to?
0:46 Yesterday we played it on an emulator like PPSSPP. so we didn't have a PSP (hardware) to play the game. 😅
The crazy thing is my that my family member passed away whilst I was watching this
I'd like to see an entry into the GTA 3D era series where the story line is written by Josh.
Since you're making a new layout anyway: I wish more streamers put a (tiny) date+clock somewhere on the screen, so it's always clear how old the vod is.
Wow, I didn't know you could get a maverick that early in the game. I usually get the one in False Idols, and immediately store it at the staunton safehouse
I got a date with a cheese deluxe

Aw! I wanted to see Josh react to the PS5 Pro presentation!
when i got lcs iso file it was another game vcs is still best psp game
We got Josh playing GTA lcs before GTA 6
Josh's chat is always full of the weirdest guys
4:23:17 has a guy trying to do a weird "mafia is gonna get you" thing lol
Bro is paying attention to weeks old twitch chat on a youtube video

Salvatore is obviously the don

Toni was an associate since he left the city, then became a Soldier and towards the end of the game a Capo.
I wanna see some highlights on your main channel about this game
Jesus josh not knowing what being made is seriously disaapointing
Probably controversial, but this was always my favourite GTA from the 6th gen
was gta 3 released on psp? i swear i remember playing 3 on psp
Nope, there never was. You probably played this one, mistakenly thought it was GTA 3 or something.

Saints Row playthru when
Joshoo
Cool. ❤️😇😊💯
8:59:42 screw them!
5:32
I never finished this game lol
Did you reach that part of LCS where you commit a [REDACTED] attack though?
me too, it seems the game stuck at some point with big ass Loading screen. I played it on PS2.
Always preferred LCS to VCS the same way I prefer GTA 3 to Vice City
Bad Opinions
How come this wasn’t played on ps2?
He explains in the faq
the PS2 port is bad
The PS2 ports for both stories games are worse than the psp ones.
2:45:39 so far this game feels indeed like an inferior VCS which is a shame
VCS is probably one of the best GTAs and I can't believe LCS with much worse writing got a remaster
Finished it. Yeah, pretty mediocre game tbh, weird

Never got myself to finish it for that reason.
100% is really painful since there are more side missions than Main Story Missions
This is the most bad faith playthrough of a video game I've seen since DarkViper's playthrough of Red Dead 2. Unsubscribed and disliked.
This is a joke, right? lol
He played through the entire game, hoping it was going to be as good as VCS and just kinda found it worse
Whatever will we do without ylu
