Oh yeah. She fucks about in Gay Tony's clubs and gets kidnapped by Packie with the aid of Niko.

[–]ridger5 36 points37 points ago

While the storyline with her and Niko kidnapping her was pretty good, I was laughing my ass off when I ran into her after completing the story and she called out a dozen mob guys with guns.

Claude Speed - GTA III

Claude Speed is the protagonist from GTA II. The protagonist of GTA III is just named "Claude" (first name given in San Andreas; no last name given).

This causes many people to jump to the erroneous assumption that they are the same character. However, looking at their timelines- while Claude Speed was taking over "Anywhere City" in 1999, Claude from GTA III was running heists with Catalina.

[–]hunterdematteo 11 points12 points ago

Actually gta 2 took place in 2013 gta 3 in 2001

[–]TylerL320 2 points3 points ago

Claude Speed taking over a city in 1999 and Claude from GTA III not doing so doesn't really matter. GTA II and GTA III take place in alternate universes. Thought it's possible Claude could be a holdout between the universes.

[–]khoury 2 points3 points ago

Or they're the same character and they just do what almost every developer does and don't put as much thought into time lines and consistency between games as fans do.

[–]That_Guy25363 2 points3 points ago

I never knew gta 3's protagonist's name. 'Till now, of course.

"All you had to do was stay on the damn floor, CJ!"

[–]interkin3tic 161 points162 points ago

To be fair, the missions that seem like they'd be the simplest are the hardest in the game.

Stealing a harrier jet off an aircraft carrier: not that tough.

Stealing an alien embryo from the military: (yawn)

Driving a dirtbike while your passenger shoots gang members off a train? Very tough.

Stealing 4 cop motorcycles: made pointlessly tough by having to do it all at once and having to drive them onto a moving truck.

Defending a hobby store: easily the toughest part of the game.

Clearly, tough things come easy while doing easy things are hard for Carl.

[–]Jackstick 188 points189 points ago

Is the hobby store mission the one with the toy airplanes? That mission gave me PTSD.

Edit: that is if we're talking about a versus each other situation, which would be the only viable option, seeing as they're all reprehensible pieces of shit : )

[–]drennanT 9 points10 points ago

I'm gunna have to disagree, CJ is a stone cold boss! I honestly think CJ would fuck any other GTA protagonist right up, CJ is a motherfucking killer. He has the most passion and justification of any character, he's fighting for his hood, his mum, his brother, everything in his life he owes to the Grove and he fights for it. All the others are just fighting to be badmen, CJ never cared about that, he just wanted to rep his family. San Andreas 4 lyf *by the way, I in no way think I'm hard, I was simply talking in that way to represent CJ best

[–]YorickA 8 points9 points ago

his mum

Proper term is his moms.

[–]StrobeEffex15 7 points8 points ago

Niko wasn't trying to be a bad guy, he was just looking out for his friends/Roman.

No idea why you are being downvoted. Chinatown Wars was fucking awesome.

[–]NewDrekSilver 89 points90 points ago

I think he's being downvoted because Huang Lee was from Chinatown, CJ was in San Andreas. So kind of irrelevant, but yeah Chinatown was pretty good.

Ah, yes, that makes sense, I totally didn't get that relation.

As someone who speaks Niko's native language, the most hilarious part of GTA IV for me was how much they made him sound as an american trying to fake an accent, as opposed to the other way around.

[–]nullprod 24 points25 points ago

As somebody who knows somebody who speaks Serbo-Croatian, I am impressed by your mastery of English articles.

[–]Ssirius 11 points12 points ago

So true, i as well speak Niko's native language and every time he speaks in Serbian/Croatian i can just barely make out what he said.

[–]Ironfudge 4 points5 points ago

Wait what.. Niko's voice actor had an American accent while speaking his eastern European language?..

[–]OmegaVesko 3 points4 points ago

Yup. It was quite hilarious to watch, really.

[–]lolpancakeslol 87 points88 points ago

[–]Bacongreasy 105 points106 points ago

[–]rube 163 points164 points ago

Still my favorite.

[–]gringreazy 11 points12 points ago

Man that was one of the best of the series, but somebody please tell me i wasn't the only one who would spend hours with the camera and take pictures of the unique, chaotic, and sometimes silly events that would randomly take place in the game.

I was very disappointed when i realized that function was removed from GTA IV, camera phone was not the same! part of the fun was reminiscing over taken pictures xD

[–]Bacongreasy 23 points24 points ago

It's like picking your favorite child. They all have their pros and cons.

[–]rube 99 points100 points ago

No real con for me personally with SA. Even though the graphics and physics are far behind GTA4, I actually prefer them. I liked the cartoony, simpler style of the graphics, and the arcade style handling of the vehicles.

The setting and story was my favorite (the 90s is the decade I grew up in). The map is by far my favorite.

Here's the way I look at them:

GTA3 blew my mind away when it came out. It was revolutionary. But these days it just doesn't quite hold up. The story was far too weak imo, and the lack of bikes, purchasable properties and other upgrades in the series leave the game feeling a bit lacking. This, however, doesn't stop me from playing it on my Android devices. :)

Vice City stepped it up a notch or five. It took the great groundwork they made with 3 and added all the right upgrades. A more fleshed out story and main character, motorcycles, helicopters, properties, etc. And that glorious 80s setting and soundtrack just fit so perfectly!

But San Andreas was the best for me. Again, the 90s setting and music just tickled my nostalgia button. The land mass is amazing, I just enjoy traveling around the wilderness and rural areas on a motorcycle. And of course the addition of planes and airports opened up the skies in a more broader sense than VC.

But GTA4 and the two expansions, while technically impressive, didn't really do it for me. The car handling took the fun away for me. I know some people love the way they drive, that it takes more skill, but I'm a bit set in my ways and like the arcade feel of the 3-era games.

So yeah... sorry... I got a bit rambley. GTA is just such an amazing series. :)

[–]Xibyr 16 points17 points ago

San Andreas was awesome. I remember when I first found the parachute on the peak of the mountain{?}, and I spent ages just shooting the bike off the cliff as fast as I could and seeing where I could get to as I floated down.

That said, I definitely preferred Vice City. The music and the feel of the city appealed to me much more.

[–]Dr_Disaster 3 points4 points ago

What I loved about SA was that doing nothing was so much fun. Making CJ do extreme sports, customizing your stable of cars, buying a new wardrobe, or just picking fights with rival gangs, there was a ton of things to do. Never ever got bored.

[–]sturg1dj 8 points9 points ago

it kind of pissed me off that GTA IV got so many perfect scores yet it was a sequel that had considerably less content than the previous. San Andreas was bigger, more celeb voices, more vehicle options, you could buy property, there were actual garages, there were jets and jet packs, the gang wars, gambling, skydiving, and it hard more easter eggs to find while exploring. I had so much more fun with GTA IV.

edit: And I forgot about the camera where you could just walk around a take picture of shit.

[–]nixnaxmik 4 points5 points ago

Yea. GTA IV was a clear step down in terms of content and scope.

[–]Plastic_Indian 4 points5 points ago

i feel you bro, but each era is fun in its own way. ive only had them on playstations, so i know the multiplayer in gta 4 and its expansions is AWESOME. i can't say how its on pc for the 3 era.

but i always loved vice city, i probably played that the most before i got gta 4

[–]nixnaxmik 19 points20 points ago

That was the best part about it. That and the sheer size of it.

[–]Bacongreasy 12 points13 points ago

Rampaging through the wasteland with Minigun, dual sawed off shotguns, dual SMGs and D.Eagle was always a good time. Plus, fucking tons of ridiculous cars. Lawnmower, go-kart, tractor, hovercraft, stuntplane, bikes, ATV, dune buggy, jetpack. Good times

[–]bwat47 7 points8 points ago

Yep, IMO san andraes was the most fun game in the series.

[–]tommygunner91 44 points45 points ago

why do people always disregard GTA 1,2 and London?

I know it was top down but you had to choose a character by portrait!
The artist could have had them hanging on the wall.

[–]dathom 16 points17 points ago

GTA 2 has always been my favorite. From the very start of the game you knew what you were getting into. Within 15 seconds you could get a rampage attempt w/ a rocket launcher. If you didn't like that, you weren't going to like the rest of the game.

[–]TurdS 14 points15 points ago

[–]cutrateslashjob 24 points25 points ago

CJ was always the biggest fuck up. Made him the most fun to play. I still laugh when I think of the conversation between him and James Woods during the flight training. "Relax, I'll have you home in time for a blowjob and a bologna sandwich."

[–]baconability 4 points5 points ago

Toreno will forever be my favorite GTA character.

[–]PickyConnor 29 points30 points ago

Re-playing GTA IV at the moment and I'll follow it up with TLAD and TBOGT. I really pray some info for GTA V is out soon, these games has such AMAZING stories. Contrary to popular opinion I actually think I prefer GTA IV's story to Red Dead Redemption's.

[–]MrHarmonious 24 points25 points ago

I wouldn't say GTA IV's story is better than RDR's, but I do agree with you; I've always been one to play GTA for the story. I've always felt enthralled by them, especially GTA IV. I think it has the best one so far.

[–]TangoDown13 12 points13 points ago

I really enjoy them for the way they draw you into the life, much like the character. And I always play them like this: at the beginning, you are introduced to most of the main characters. You are given transportation, some busy work to keep you invested and a little money.

Something happens where your character, the hero, must save one of his friends and you end up killing someone. Then you get a weapon...you have to chase someone down for a contact or friend, but you don't have a personal vehicle, so you steal a car in your haste...you kill again.

Quickly, with each act you commit, you become the anti-hero. But in society's eyes, the villain. You've become a murdering, thieving, robbing menace to society who will kill police officers and innocent bystanders in order to accomplish the task put into your lap by progressively worse people....but it's for your family, your friends, the greater good...right?

[–]x13lackx 9 points10 points ago

The expansions are better stories then GTA IV. Have fun!

[–]sleepyafrican 9 points10 points ago

I feel like tlad's story gave me no closure at the end. You have to go through an entire penitentiary to get to Billy, but instead of giving any reasons for why he betrayed you he doesn't say shit. Also, I hated that you couldn't go back to your clubhouse because some random motherfucker burnt it down.

Haha, fucking CJ with the infamous jetpack cheat xD San Andreas was the best, man.

[–]B_Blunder 5 points6 points ago

I feel privileged that I never read any forum posts or guides for the game. So, I actually saw the jetpack for the first time during the mission where you have to steal it. It MOTHEr_FUCKING blew my mind? Still one of my best gaming moments. Then again, I do this with every game I play. I was cumming buckets when I realized that I had just absorbed a dragon soul in Skyrim. Do you know how hard it was to not know details about Skyrim? I had to hermit myself from the internet for the entirety of October 2011!

"Glad to see my invisibility pills are still working," after someone hits you with a car and sends you 57ft. across the road. Brings tears to my eyes.

For some reason the voiceless protagonist from GTA 3 is still my favorite. I guess because I felt like I was projecting myself into the character more.

Whoa, that's kind of scary, considered me and my best friend created mini games called "keep rollin'" and "run and gun". The goal of Keep Rollin' was to string together a series of heinous crimes focused around GTA in a single district, making elaborate escapes, until you had traveled in a circle around the map to your starting point. If you didn't have 5 stars by then you lost - if you made it all. Run and Gun would have you start far from your safe house with full ammo and weapons, and you had to huff it on foot shooting almost nonstop (as much as feasible, anyways).
