    What is the craziest thing that happened to you in an open-world game?

    • @yurikuki
      @yurikuki 5 років тому +95

      I remember my cousin and I used to play Minecraft lan server. Our favorite thing to do was blow up houses we made for each other or our smaller cousins and see their reactions. It was hilarious and dumb. The whole point of it was to trick whoever we made the house for, once they step on a tile it would turn on a switch that would blow up the house haha. We decided to stop using TNT's and actually create a community where we could live with one another. It was located deep inside a mining area. We built a community, houses, farms, and much more. It took us around 2 months or so. It was all going well until I had the bright idea to create a train system that would pass by all the places in the community we made. As I finally completed, I told my cousin to test it out, once he went inside and started the switch, the train was moving. All was going well until suddenly I remembered that I put a tile that would activate the TNTs I somehow placed. I had no idea why I put those in the first place. It was probably out of habit, reflex, or boredom. My cousin and I were on different rooms and The moment the train hit the switch, I remember him shouting so loud I could hear him from the other room. Everything we created for months was all gone. I remember seeing the houses, farms, and all the things we built slowly blow up. I went out of my room to check on my cousin and all I could see was a dead pan face with his mouth opened looking at the screen while he saw the destruction of our community. Ever since then we never played Minecraft together again. 😂
      Moral of the story, don't be a dumbass like me and think before you do shit. 😂

      When I replayed it after GTA4 (which I didn't like) I realized its small size is one of its biggest strengths. It gives freedom without wasting my time, it had nearly arcade pacing unless there are no cars around because they didn't spawn.

Making Vice City and even way more San Andreas the better games. And it hasn't aged as well as those titles. But it still is an incredibly fun experience in my opinion.

Did most of the work myself but handed the controller to my dad for the harder missions haha, we also challenged each other to see who reaches 6 stars first! I once did it and even hijacked a tank and paused the game and waited until dad arrived from work so he sees it. Good times (:

    I like the old, cartoonish, over-the-top Rockstar games so much more than the new, hyper-realistic stuff. Also, games like GTA III still let you experiment and find your own approach to accomplishing objectives, whereas now, in e.g. RDR2, if you so much as take a step in the "wrong" direction, it's "MISSION FAILED" instantly.

    Here's a recipe for cookies: Preparation time: 40min
    Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 1 egg yolk 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
    Procedure: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire rack.

    That plan is literally exactly what I did in my OG Xbox version playthrough. I still have the file. I completed the police/fire/ambulance/RC/races/taxi missions in one go with the same vehicle never letting it blow up or flip. Lots of saving and loading. All missions were 1 attempt 1 complete. The only times I failed a mission was on purpose to obtain the bullet proof versions of cars from the race missions. Creating a road block by spawning in tanks in front of the garage save point then push the exploded bullet proof car into the garage. Create a new save in case. Reload. Car is repaired and mine forever.

    Despite its flaws that have only become apparent due to age and the fact that we’re spoiled in this modern age of gaming, Grand Theft Auto III will always be a masterpiece. It’s a classic of the open world, shooter genre, and for me, it’s only bested by GTA IV and San Andreas.
