EGM says the storyline in this one is Very good. they said great acting, all the characters draw you into the storyline.

Sounds like it has a better story and plot to it then GTA3

That's what I have been wondering :D

I guess my doubts are gone. I was thinking the story would be somthing like GTA 3's, and GTA3's sucks ass. It's good to know they improved on it (hopfuly a LOT)

just a little quote for you.........

"...the story is so well concieved and superbly acted... ...you get totally drawn into the plot.
What is the plot? Well, i'm not spoiling it for anyone... ... but suffice to say, you wont always be some lowly mob pissant. In fact, the thing that puts VC over the top is your ability to buy property later in the game, growing your assets along with your reputation..."


Sounds very nice :D

Yeah, but he's the host of the rock station... there is talk radio (or at least different kinds of radio stuff that's similar... I forgot what the developer guys said, but I read about it in one of those IGN interviews), but it's not hosted by Lazlow...

Yeah, Lazlow hosts the VROCK station.... Which is great, BTW.

Do the framerates suck as much as they're being accused of sucking?

I dunno if it's the frame rate, but the game looks blurry as hell. Maybe R* just released doctored pics or somthing, cause nothing looks as smooth as the screenshots.

Shooting at multiple enymys from different angles gets very er... dizzy, I prefer GTA 3's lack of camera movement, cause now it's way too much.

GTA3 had those trails... that made the game look all blurry... but you could turn it off and it looked better...

Is Vice City the same way? :confused:

Yup.

Pause, Display, Turn trails off.

game will look sharper.

Why the hell do they have those trails anyways? Do people actually play with them on?

I played with them on in GTA3 until my friend was messing around with the options (I usually don't bother much for some reason when I get a game) and turned them off and I was like ":eek: It looks bettarz!"

The only good thing about having trails on is nighttime actually looks like night... cuz the trails make things darker, and with them off it's a bit too bright :p :sneaky:

but theres an brightness option too.


i cant quite place my finger on what exactly the trails do tho. i dont like the blue effect when things move. turning trails off fixes that.
But it takes something out of the atmosphere. a certain color tone or maybe it is just brightness. but after playin with it a while i like it better anywho with trails off.

soooo *shrugs*
