so, what are everyone's opinions on the game GTA3? i think it is one of the most entertaining games i have ever played...there's so much to do and it is so open and free...i love being able to roam around. besides the insane slowdowns, it's a great game.
Haven't played it that much, I've been spending lots of time outside the last few months (the weather is lovely), and when I've been using my computer it's mostly been for chatting on IRC and listening to some Tom Jones songs. I've also been busy with JK2, and even though I have SoF2 as well, I haven't played that much either. But judging from the time I've been "spending" with GTA3, it is quite good. Could have improved the graphics, character movement though...
i like it except for frequent slowdowns, when is a patch going to come out to fix it
I was just thinking this morning on how i'm really going to miss this game when it is over. I have every new game out and this is the only one i play. I figure after i finish it i'll just start over again.
It's a good game except...
Graphics problems & slowdowns.
The fact when you start moving down a slope or stairs you Jump, this means when your going down the steps to get a boat you jump straight into the water and die!
The fact that sometimes i've been stood at my garage door for over a minute before the damn thing will open!
And there are a few other minor annoyances, but its generally fun to play!
heh, yeah, i haven't been playing computer games nearly as much this year. i've been at friends houses, doing some photography, or riding my bike (the weather is beautiful here as well) and i have just been having a general lack of enthusiasm for gaming. this is the only game i have bought since i bought black and white when it came out.Quote:

I dont understand why the dude dies if you jump in the water. Its not like he's jumping in a pool of acid. Why can't he swim? It's just so anoying to reload the game if you end up in the water.
yeah taht's messed up. what's even more messed up is that you begin to lose health if the water is waist-high!! that's so riduclous.Quote:

Lightwave is a 3d modleing program that is really expensive

LMAO, I know. And whats really stupid is if you have memorized the health cheat, you can keep imputing it and you will never die. You will just lay in the water until you put the code in wrong and health runs out. :DQuote:

(I'm referring to the PS2 version, I don't know if there is a health cheat for the PC one)
Very cool game, but awful coding for the PC port. Seems to not be able to take advantage of extra memory for caching. Or (shudder) it actually uses all of my available 512MB (about 400 if the nvidia counter is accurate) and 64MB of my video card and STILL performs that way.
Does anybody know if this game uses DXTC?
