Classic Doom (1993), Quake (1996), and GTA III (2001). Most important and industry-changing games ever. For sure. People like to throw Halo in there as well, but Halo was a spiritual successor of Marathon, which in turn received a good deal of inspiration from Doom.

RIP Ray Liotta, love this trilogy. These games were really mindblowing when they come out; one of those games you finish playing and immediately start over. The TV ads are all fresh in my mind. I've always been partial to San Andreas, can always go back to that game; but being Miami born, Vice City holds a special place.
1:09:29 no, his accuracy is very good. people go too close to the train, which means it's not possible for smoke to hit the enemies. that's why people struggle with this mission, and it's not smoke's fault.
You are correct. I used to always have trouble with Wrong Side Of The Tracks, however when I started riding my bike further away from the train, Big Smoke could should the Vargos more easily and quicker.
GTA III is actually my favorite of these. Mostly for nostalgic reasons. Being a New Yorker, Liberty City (both 3D and HD versions) is the environment I related to most. I loved VC, VCS and San Andreas. The simplicity of III is what stood out to me most.
I like all the classic games, and im glad that you admitted that nostalgia plays a huge role in you favoring GTA 3. Because as much as this game was groundbreaking for its time, its the one GTA that aged the worst and even back in the day had a lot of issues (mainly difficulty, like making some stories/side quests almost impossible after some gangs start to openly attack you). Being just sprayed down within 2 seconds by enemies with M16s also caused so much frustration for me as a kid, like seriously, why are people still meming the actually easy "Follow the damn train" mission from San Andreas, but not the busted GTA 3 M16? I still like it tho, i accept it for what it is but objectively it's the "worst" of classic GTA, even Liberty City Stories show how much better the gaming experience could have been by just having some *minor* improvements. The best thing about GTA 3 are the lessons that Rockstar learned for their future games. I'm glad it existed, but when i feel nostalgic to play old GTA games, i always skip this one.
@@LegioXXI that's the thing. III hasn't aged that badly to me. I understand why others will say that. Those limitations never bothered me. Plus I had all of the chest codes. 😁😁😁😁 I don't remember how I passed the other El Burro missions but I passed Turismo by using the bulletproof Hummer (Patriot) in order to beat it.
For those wondering about the FPS limit, at least in the case of GTA SA on PC, it's default lock is actually 25 FPS. Having a high frame rate breaks an undernoted amount of game physics. Examples include permanant vehicle breaking, limited mid air vehicle control, reduced swim speed, inability to dive underwater as the dive animation ends before the player is dived enough, dying instantly while mounting fences, reduced input needed to turn on siren (essentially, you can't hold the key to switch for more than like milisecond, otherwise it will just honk the vehicle,) etc. Silent, a very reputable modder, made a modpack that ups the limiter to 30 FPS and fixes a majority of the FPS tied bugs. It's the Silentpatch. It includes stuff like increased render distances as well, and in 2023, is the most optimum way of playing GTA San Andreas.
Great video, I’m glad I finally got around to watching it! You especially did a great job displaying the evolution of this trilogy as it goes along, as well as managing to mix talking about the gameplay and story in great synchronicity. Awesome video, liked :3
A real treat of a video, your war 3 vid brought me to your channel, lovely long form retrospectives man. Also, Toni's voiced by Michael Madsen in 3, who's also a pretty big star, you didn't mention him with the other, figured you might not know and find it interesting.
Actually in III if you know the weapon spawns there's no need to spend any money in gun stores. There is a flame thrower on top of the Head Radio HQ, a shotgun in the alley of Saint Marks, also an AK, an SMG on top of the Sawmill in the harbor with an armor pickup. Also you can get 30 packages for few extra guns.
Ah, that's true. I didn't think of that at the time of making this video. Still, that seems like it would quickly get irritating if you had to do it over and over. Oh well.
But you get so much money in GTA 3 anyways, and since there is not really much to do with money besides buying guns, you really need to die a lot before the scavenging for wild guns becomes necessary.
It's almost weird to see such well-done retrospectives and reviews with so little attention. I hope the algorithm wakes up for you. Speaking as a lifelong singleplayer GTA enjoyer, it's pretty nicely done from a more general, less deeply-involved point of view, it's more accessible to a regular viewer who's not a GTA fanatic that's "in" on everything. We're already at a time when that kinda retrospective you gave to the 3D trilogy is warranted simply to introduce more people to them because by now they're no longer a near-universal gaming memory, a whole generation grew up that never partook in them. I personally find GTA 2 also worth thinking about, remembering the experience I had playing it early on, but it is indeed true that the 3D series was the out-of-the-park hit and a near-revolutionary expansion of what GTA could amount to with every step. It's a common sorta shakeup between VC and SA for people's favourite GTA game; I personally lean more towards SA but I spent many a schoolboy afternoon having fun in VC.
Thank you very much. I'm sure views will come in time. I did wonder about a deep dive into each game, going through every mission and all that, but I felt a more general retrospective would be more appropriate in the end. Initially this video was meant to incorporate GTA 1 and 2 as well but I had trouble getting them to run properly so I scrapped the idea. Thanks again for this comment and the various others you have made across separate videos as well.
@@acritical I recall someone else doing a pretty chonky GTA overview, and going into plenty of detail on 1 and 2 (exactly the "for those already initiated into the trivia" approach that can be kinda hit or miss). Going from what I know of the games myself and from what I've seen talked about them, I'd think it'd be best to go with 1 and 2 in one go just as you did the 3D-era "main" trilogy. Just taking 2 by itself, while it's an interesting quirky game, can get a bit flat - remarking more on differences and evolution from the first generation would give a lot more meat to such a review, and for that, the first generation gotta get looked into as well. Honestly I kinda miss GTA2 sometimes, it was a unique little experience too that nothing really recreated since. Like weird late-90s low-scifi cyberpunk more than anything else, really cool in that way. I hope you might find a way to run those games - I know speedrunners can run 2 well, could use looking into how they do it.
my first gta was gta3 even tho gta 4 was out but i didnt know cause my parents didnt allow me to be on internet for long, and before that i had ps1 and this shit blew my mind, i played it nonstop it was funny then to realise there so much better gtas out there and i was already impressed by third game. Thank u for retrospective, brings a lot of memories and thoughts.
Bro this video was edited and put together perfectly man! Looking forward to the videos on the newer grand theft auto & im looking forward to seeing what the rest of your channel has to hold! Good luck with UA-cam man. Based on this video alone, you definitely deserve to blow
Wasn't Tony from flash fm in vice city also Tony from flashback 95.6 in gta 3 I noticed that when I was a kid thinking its nice that we finally get to hear what she was like in the past
Donald Love is probably the most degenerate character in the trilogy, he is a cannibal and a necrophile. I know this video is specifically about III/VC/SA and not LCS/VCS, but in LCS he is seen eating human ribs during the cutscene for the mission Cam Pain, saying that it tastes like chicken. He has Tony steal the remains of Avery Carrington (from Vice City, his business rival in the real estate market) and Ned Burner (who tried to expose his degeneracy) from the morgue so that he can "eat one and fuck the other" for his enjoyment. In GTA3 he is more tame but still admits to throwing morgue parties on a regular basis and having dead bodies delivered directly to his table. In 2009 series writer Dan Houser said that Donald Love left Liberty City in a hurry to escape from law enforcement after crossing the line one too many times even given his wealth and influence, considering this he probably also left the United States altogether.
I sill can't forgive Rockstar for killing off Avery Carrington. Bothers me more than Johnnys death. Especially since the characters death is just a middle finger towards the voice actor.
One thing about the obeying driving laws in the games is that in LA Noire, they push the player to drive this way rather than how you would see the average player drive in GTA.
wow, just wow, I expect this quality from a channel with millions, this standard of both quantity and quality is just breath taking, crushing it dude! Earnt a sub.
San Andreas is my favorite because it symbolized that magical 90’s West Coast hip hop culture and urban setting that I was exposed to while growing up in L.A.
My only experience of the 3D universe had been GTA SA up until the part where CJ gets exiled to Whetstone (and general open world shenanigans), but when the GTA VI trailer came out, I decided to do a marathon of the 3D trilogy and the current HD releases. Just got to the end of San Andreas and can honestly say the 3D games have really impressed me in just how enjoyable it's been to get through them. Only one I wouldn't return to to complete 100% is GTA 3, but VC and SA were absolute game changers.
I grew up in a city that was used in movies to replicate newyork for cheaper then actually filming there. so for me liberty city will always have my heart. both in 3 and 4. i was never to places like miami or la so as amazing as those game areas are. they dont have the deeper connection to me that the grime and rain slick streets of Liberty City.
What version of the games were you playing? The ps2 originals are hard to go back to now due to frame rate issues and low resolution but the better alternatives have been removed from stores by Rockstar 😢
the base pc version are downgrades, like for example - GTA SA pc not having the orange sky, missing object, mission changes, missing or changed objects, car reflections, etc. i suggest the essentials pack from mixmods before really reviewing these bad pc ports
From what I've noticed in GTA IV, when you get to Alderney it's the same deal as in GTA III with Shoreside Vale... The missions are fewer than in the other 2 islands until the game is over, or at least that's how I remember it... Also, personally, for continuity sake (I know that they are in a different universe), I try imagining that Shoreside Vale is in fact somewhere close to Hove Beach and the airport, only not shown in THIS version of the map (as if the "movie" isn't taking part in this portion of the island and that it exists, only not shown), thus Red Light District and Portland in General could be somewhere in Alderney or Alderney in Portland... We'll never know 😂🤭 Hopefully, however, someone in Rockstar could make a connection between each universe... To me it would be better than a remake or even than a AAA game with lots of new characters... IF Rockstar could make a new game with 20% of the "cast" being new characters (main characters included) and the rest consisted of old ones that reappear to show us what happened to them after we left them (perhaps some of them being MC's too), I'd be extremely happy... Like Imagine that fanart wallpaper which shows all the GTA protagonists inside an apartment. When I first saw it, I was like "YES! This scene in a GTA game would be AWESOME!"
Vice City probably works so well because the somewhat cartoonish graphics of the 3D universe games fit the stylized aesthetic of the game perfectly, while GTA 3 and San Andreas are trying to be gritty and realistic. Both are good games in their own right, but they feel a bit more dated graphics wise.
22:12 this bug relates to too much high FPS, with the limiter on or fps manually lowered this bug is no more. same in GTASA, when you try to climb roofs, but get smacked by something to death
@@DxMelta That's just their opinion, nothing wrong with that. Vice City is objectively the better game, but subjectively some enjoy GTA 3 more, some enjoy San Andreas more. I enjoy the trilogy equally! Everyone's got their taste!
How influencial GTA 3 was, is easy seen when looking at Jak and Daxter especially Jak II. Yes it needed change, but it is obvious where the Open World Mission based structre comes from. They did a target group test back then with a basic Version of Jak II that was like Jak 1. What did the kids say? "It is nice, a great game for my little brother". How old where these kids? 8... fukcing 8 years old. Answer to the question what they play? "GTA III" It changed the Gaming industry so hard it is nearly unbelievable.
I remember my first time playing Vice City I had to look up how to complete the game, even then it took me forever to find the print works, then I had to get enough money to purchase it because I hadn't done so prior to this. One of the reasons I tend to not go back to it in all honesty
Also gta 3 was delayed cause of 9/11 cause their offices were at ground 0 and also didnt want people too buy a violent video game right after a terrorist attack and had too change alot of things too make it less like new your and no 9/11 similarities
Great vid. But I could not sit and enjoy the footage with the slow swimming, slow boats, the rapid fire weapons, the back swinging cars and fast AI. You should have done a bit of research as to the best way to play these games. The stock, unmodified games from steam on PC are one of the worst ways to play these games. Now I'm not saying to load up the defective editions or mobile ports either. And although emulating the PS2 versions is a option, the best way to play these games is on PC with a bit of modding. These mods add nothing to these games which make them anything else but enhanced vanilla, instead they bring them to the PS2 original visuals, adding widescreen, restoring some music and fixing all the bugs. Some add weather effects from the PS2 and re-enable the 2DFX that had made the orange hue possible on the PS2. It enhances all these games greatly. And if you weren't interested in modding completely, just add reIII and reVC for gta 3 and vc. They are just single .exe files that greatly improve that broken default experience. Unfortunately, you do have to manually mod GTA SA to get it into a good, unbroken playable state. Great vid tho.
Most people are casual players. Casual players don't modd. This is how 99.99999% will experience these games. So nothing wrong, if anything adding modds would set unrealistic expectations and make this video less accurate.

You're supposed to be saving after every mission so if you die you can load a save instead of wasting time and money going to buy your weapons again.
Great vid. But I could not sit and enjoy the footage with the slow swimming, slow boats, the rapid fire weapons, the back swinging cars and fast AI. You should have done a bit of research as to the best way to play these games. The stock, unmodified games from steam on PC are one of the worst ways to play these games. Now I'm not saying to load up the defective editions or mobile ports either. And although emulating the PS2 versions is a option, the best way to play these games is on PC with a bit of modding. These mods add nothing to these games which make them anything else but enhanced vanilla, instead they bring them to the PS2 original visuals, adding widescreen, restoring some music and fixing all the bugs. Some add weather effects from the PS2 and re-enable the 2DFX that had made the orange hue possible on the PS2. It enhances all these games greatly.
And if you weren't interested in modding completely, just add reIII and reVC for gta 3 and vc. They are just single .exe files that greatly improve that broken default experience. Unfortunately, you do have to manually mod GTA SA to get it into a good, unbroken playable state.
Great vid tho.

Most people are casual players. Casual players don't modd. This is how 99.99999% will experience these games. So nothing wrong, if anything adding modds would set unrealistic expectations and make this video less accurate.
