  • In this more smaller scaled review video, I discussed about weather Liberty city stories is actually a good game. Liberty city stories is a 2005 prequel of the GTA series. It's one of least talked about games of the series, and I went over if it was really that good almost a decade later

    This game was my first ever GTA game and I still remember trying to drive out of Salvatore's driveway and trying to figure out where I'm at since it was my first introduction to videogames in general at 5 years old back in 2010. It brings so much nostalgia looking at gameplay of you driving off Salvatore's driveway.

    I think something you missed is that like you said you didn’t grow up in that timeframe as someone who is born in 1995 who did grew up playing the PSP it was way ahead of its time, and it was shocking that somehow they were able to basically make a portable version of liberty city and vice city just a few years after the home Consol game. Also, you’re forgetting that the majority of GTA games back then we’re just a loose assortment of non-connected missions.
    Take vice city for instance the first few missions are about you working for the mafia building a drug empire, then some point along the character does whatever he wants and then at the end of the game off he is pissed at you with no build up to it.
    So for the standards of the 2000s it was fantastic. It’s a reason why people love it.
    No one saying to compare to something like the Witcher three or GTA 5 but for the time liberty city stories and vice city stories to fantastic video games

      i recommend when you get that psp to really dive into that library, the psp was the only handheld that had first party support for that long! Psp is so great I don’t even touch my ps5 anymore, I started collecting cibs 2 months ago for my psp and the library is way better than ds or 3ds. Ur friends are gonna hate you for not shutting up about the psp games u just played. I was going to get a 3ds but there’s like 10 3ds games id play vs 200 psp games. PSPs library is insane.

      There's also a fanmade Reverse Engineered version, if you have a PS2 iso file of the game (Or psp, i dunno which one you need actually) and you can play it on PC, similarly to the other GTA games. (I dunno how to set it up tho, but there's probably a video about it!)

    I never played this game. I’m born in 1990 and was 11 when gta3 came out just before I turned 12. It was insane. Nothing even close to a game like this existed besides maybe Driver and twisted metal but they were absolutely nowhere near what GTA3 was. Every single person who was anybody had this game. I wrote down cheat codes and shit people gave me from school to take home and spend all afternoon playing. It was amazing.
    Well I just played it again for the first time in probably 20 years last night and good grief that game is terrible haha. Missions are insanely boring with very little story. It feels so awkward when you pick everyone up in the limo in one of the early missions and get attacked by the triads and nobody is talking. It just feels so empty compared to how I remember it feeling as a kid. So think you’re exactly right that people who say the old gta’s are the best - it’s certainly just nostalgia.
    Now GTA 4 I just played last year or maybe 2 years ago and that game still beats the shit out of gta5 and any other rockstar games not named red dead.

    LCS was my first GTA game and it'll always be special. From a whole ass DnB radio station to Frank Vincent's last time as Salvatore (god rest his soul), I love this game. It has its fair share of flaws like a pretty weak story and its fait share of boring missions but its my 5th favourite game in the series alongside VCS. Plus Toni is hardcore af, Liberty City has the meanest batch of protagonists ever

    That was a great game for its time. I got liberty city and ridge racer when the psp came out. Was a good map good cars could plot a route no worries just cruise around. Jumps and nice long road to max out your fav cars. Had couple nice glitch spots where the cops couldnt get past a barrier and you could mow them all down and hide take down helicopters. If you just take it for what it was it was awesome for the limitations of that device. I had heaps fun. Liberty City rocked. My friend had atari ping pong and my first computer was a commodore vic 20. I remember when Doom and stuff came out. Sometimes you just have to have been there and looking back its never the same. Liberty City gave a great experience in that particular historic moment.
