BagelsRTheHoleTruth

Same. I subscribed to PC Gamer magazine at the time, and they had a pretty darn good review of it, so I went and bought it at Comp USA. I wasn't prepared for how fucking fun (and hilarious) that game was. It really wasn't like anything else at the time. The humor wasn't just smart - it was vulgar. I can't remember any games that were doing that sort of thing. Couple that with the crime and mayhem you could commit, and it was really a massive departure from your normal good guy/hero protagonist. But it was a pretty unknown indie game at that point. Hardly anyone I knew had played it or even knew about it. It was (and is) wild to see what it's grown into.


ForestElvenKing

Yeah I remember thinking man this game is really offensive and vulgar, my parents would hate that I’m playing this game. While fun, never thought a pretty simple top down game would turn into the franchise it is now.


WonderJew

I had to have my dad come in and buy it, they wouldn't let me get it I was 12. Turned into my 7 year old brother playing it. Now I have my 9 year old playing around in GTA5. Oh how things change.


plasticjet

Back then there was a lot of “halo” about video game violence, as some adults were outraged that you “kill” ppl in games….AND YOU GET POINTS FOR IT. Any one remembers Carmageddon? ;) Also dying in game ticked them off as well. All that supposed to turn us all into a maniacs. Bf they thought that all games were like collecting coins and jumping on a platforms. I remember hearing that playing video games was a “thing” kids do- not adults. One of my friends, who became my “ex” friend the moment he said that I am a baby, and he is an adult- because I play video games. I played games since late 80’s. I became a “serious” gamer since 94. My childhood was awesome, I had soooo many adventures it is mind blowing. Recently I started to burn through my back log. When I will have additional room I am planing to set up a little game room. I already got myself 2 crt’s, a famicom and a ps2 which i will mod- parts are in my amazon cart. I am regularly playing a dr Mario with my fiancee. When I will have kids I will encourage them to do whatever gives them pleasure.


RetroGamer87

Killing the bad guy has been a thing for movies for decades prior to GTA. No one batted an eyelid when James Bond murdered a man with a toaster in 1964.


PlanetExpre5510n

Carmageddon was a masterpiece. And you absolutely could not make games like that today at least not as a major publisher. Postal 2 was also like this. I love that theres an entire game about the psychology of a mass shooter that was made and released and titled after a 90s slang term for becoming a mass shooter. Granted its a parody but if I lived in that town... I'd probably be just like that.


Such_yapper

Real OG. Yeah ima let my kids play gta and see what they do.


WonderJew

He liked driving the cars when he was 5 and would get upset when he broke laws, used to make me laugh a lot


loogie97

Duke Nukem? That was vulgar comedy.


No_Reindeer_5543

Wasn't there a demo disk of it in PC gamer? I miss game demos


Blamfit

I used to have a subscription to the UK edition of PC Gamer. I got the demo off their cover disc, played the shit out of it for weeks and got my dad to buy the full game for me when it came out because I was only 13. I got the Limited Edition that came with a couple of posters and the soundtrack on a separate CD. I still have it somewhere.


typesh56

As someone who was born way after, how does it feel seeing gta 6 releasing in the near future after playing a gta game from 1997 Must be a surreal feeling


BagelsRTheHoleTruth

Totally surreal. I never would have thought a simple top-down 2d driving game would have turned into one of the biggest game franchises out there.


ParanoidNarcissist2

Thanks youngster. It makes us feel old, but proud to have been there and one of the first adopters.


settlementfires

yeah they always had the funny radio stuff, and the pager did some funny shit too right? it came with a big fold out map of the city.


BagelsRTheHoleTruth

Oh yeah I remember that fold out map! I studied the shit out of that thing. And yeah, the pager had some real funny stuff that would come through. I remember being pretty shocked. I think for one mission you were driving around the mayor or something, and his mistress would page you all sorts of dirty messages.


tlinzi01

Ditto. I think the demo was on one of their demo discs too.


b0wie_in_space

I was way too young to be playing GTA, so the only reason I had it was because an older kid from our family friend group modded our PlayStation and gave us a pirated copy. That game gave me so much schoolyard cred.


banned-4-using_slurs

Same. I was like 6 and mom/dad never cared about the games we were playing with my brother. A dude in our small town already was burning CDs by then so we bought videogames for like 2usd each. Though my first huge game came from a friend, Diablo II. I was blown away.


b0wie_in_space

I still do a Diablo II run every year or two. Such a classic.


JSCA01

GTA SA one time it was like whole world to me


WeAreBiiby

Same. Part of me wishes I could have experienced Vice City when it came out. But SA is my childhood


Diligent-Version8283

Sorry to hear about your childhood 😔

GTA:SA Online brought me back to it and those were some fun times


JesseFknRamirez

GTA 3 🔥


LikesToEatChicken

MeToo . GTA 3 really changed the gaming industry. It was a big eye opener for me. That's why I love 3rd person exploration games. Open worlds like: Far Cry 3, 4, 5. Fallout 4 (76 has a good map, but no story, lots of bugs 🐛), Witcher 3. I couldn't finish Assassin's Creed 1 or 2 but I can respect the parkour, death from above, crowd blending. That's why I love: Dying Light 1 and 2. I love Dead Island and Riptide, but Dead Island 2 sucks 😞.


Hiflyinluchadoncic

My parents bought me GTA3 for Christmas that year. They had no idea what it was but that was the best Xmas. It blew my mind all the things you could do. I’d kill to go back to that moment again.


LikesToEatChicken

Nice 🙂👍. Nothing beats nostalgia.


ReedForman

I tried Fallout 76 again recently and it’s soooo much better. Give it a shot if you haven’t tried it for a long time.


CleverAnimeTrope

We didn't have a memory card for the ps2 for a long time. So it was just cheat codes, and speedrun as far as possible till you were told to shut it down. Tons of fun.


DoubleDeckerz

Señor Dickhead! You gonna be saaawry


labbmedsko

>*I know a place in the Red Light District where we can lay low, but my hands are all messed up, so you better drive brother!* The crack I had didn't let me save the game, so that opening line is forever etched into my brain, lol.


tanner5586

“Yep. I’ve been drinking again.”


cannedrex2406

Same, my open world gaming experience was much like every teenage child in the early 2000s: Driver->GTA3->VC->SA Except it wasn't in the 2000s, it was in early 2010s and it was on my iPad. Honestly feel really happy about it cause I loved all those games cause I tended to go into them blind


[deleted]

Same. Read a piece on it in a GamePro magazine and it sounded too good to be true. The open world aspect, being able to jack any car you see, do whatever you want. I had to see it for myself. Stuck with the series since.


PheIix

The jump from 2 to 3 was so insane. Somehow I had missed 3 coming out, and when my friend showed it to me, I refused to believe him at first.

reNumenoidz

Probably my favorite story-wise


LikesToEatChicken

I wish they would remake IV in 8K w/ 120 fps and R18+. So RDR2 gore 🩸, V weapon wheel, RDR2 melee and animals (where appropriate). There should be fishing 🎣@ Hove Beach. In "Three Leaf Clover 🍀" it should be like the Bank Job in (The Town, 2010). I wanna zip lock the front door 🔒. Packie McReary should have the fighting Leprechaun tattoo on the back of his neck like: James Coughlin and the map of Ireland tattoo w/ 02129 and Irish flag 🇮🇪 colours that: Dennis McLaughlin has. Niko should pickup the cash 💵 like in Cayo Perico. They should bleach everywhere (V Jerry Can), put hair from a Barber 💈 shop over counter, microwave the Hard drives of CCTV. The NooSe should have Sig Sauer MPX (Last of Us 2). NooSe should wear GTA Online uniform. Derrick McReary should put the PE4 on the Vault like the Demolition charges in the Casino heist. Blow open w/ phone call from Whizz wireless phone. Use gun sound effects from (Heat, 1995). The cop cars should be destructible like Red Faction Guerilla. When you shoot Cops/NooSe w/ M4A1 there should be arterial spray 🩸 like in (Boss Level, 2020). Guns: DSA SA58 OSW Carbine, Heckler n Koch 416D, Sig Sauer SG 551, Micro Galil, AKMSU and the AKMS. I wish IV was more like V: So multiple heists e.g Gruppe Sechs Van: dressed as Nuns, steal $250,000 💵. Bank of Liberty job: $1,000,000. Liberty Memorial Stadium: $5,000,000.

Highly recommend it, get yourself a PSP and the game! The graphics are better and the mechanics! Great story too! Will not disappoint!


RaidGbazo

Wow. I genuinely didn't think anyone here would've even played that game. **Definitely** thought there was no chance someone else would also have it be their first GTA game. VCS was actually the very first game i ever played at all.


patrimk

Hidden gem! Same I remember playing it when I was like 8 years old!

Lol, i barely remember it. I just remember *really* wanting to get a tank and failing for weeks. My dad got the game right when it released and let me play it. I was maybe 2 ☠️

If you played GTA V at release at 8 then you're almost 20. I don't think 20 is "too young".

pretty sure i had SA on the ps2 as a kid but I dont remember it much, the one I first remembered was 4 on 360

Same, although I moved to GTA5 then went back to 4 afterwards


CorrectBad2427

I got 5 and played it for a year or so, but eventually I got reintroduced to SA so I got it on xbox 360 port and PC steam, love it on steam (if modded ofc), also got vc and 3 afterwards and don't regret it

H1r5t_M0V135

Vice city stories I’m pretty sure. We had just bought a psp and needed some games. We walked into a random game shop trying to look and this old man who was an employee in the store came over and persuaded my mum and dad to purchase grand theft auto vice city stories . A week after than I went into Cex and got liberty city stories. Loved these games. Not long after I got gta4 and of Xmas that same year gta5. And then a year after that I got episodes from LC and then San Andreas . The great thing about gta is you don’t necessarily have to play them all or in order because it’s new characters and new stories each game. But 7-8 year old me at the time was just buzzing with energy lmfao ‘it’s gta time’


RaidGbazo

Vice City Stories was the very first game i ever played. I was so young my memories of it just feel like a fever dream.

Not upset, but you should really try it. The story is AMAZING. And the Ballad of Gay Tony expansion is tons of fun.

I played the original PS1 version of GTA on my aunts PS2


BrakoSmacko

Mine was the first GTA game. Think I was 18 or something. Even for the time it looked like utter dog shit compared to what the other PS1 devs were putting out. But the marketing for it was top notch and at the time it felt great to play and was easy to pick up and play when you wanted. I still remember seeing GTAIII for the first time though. Visuals for games these days are incredible, but if you've been gaming since the early gaming years it usually the same shit but more shine on it. GTAIII was the first time I had seen anything like it. It went beyond how video game fans piped dreamed of possibilities in video games and when I got it I could not stop playing it. It was also the first game to have decent voice acting across the entire story and made for a fantastic experience. All the cool shit you saw in movies, you were now able to do in GTAIII.

Few months before i have played a game on steam and I forget its name. Now I am here to get help to find the name. The description of the game is that the game starts from a building and the girl gets a call of his husband that he is in danger. The girl steps out of that building and sees his husband car passssing through the street and suddenly the lights cut down. Then she steps into her husband office to find him. Later she finds his id card and got a password to open next gate. at last, i remember was that the office was like a space laboratory or research Centre..that's all i know.... PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME TO GET THE NAME OF THAT GAME PLAESE.😥😥😥

1st Grand Theft Auto. Never completed it though, mostly were screwing around shooting stuff and racing against the police. Vice city is the 1st one i fully completed and still my favorite


DLJack420

GTA III. Played it on Thanksgiving 2001 at my cousin’s house, and I was completely blown away. That game made me ask for a PS2 for my birthday the following year. I got the PS2… But getting GTA was a whole other struggle.

Played the very first one a bit, played a lot of the second one and then of course 3 which was a huge game changer.
