Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

TIL there were plans for a Scarface: The World is Yours sequel set in and around Vegas that got cancelled around the time of the Activision acquisition.

That would've been fucking kickass man.

Midway pretty much killed themselves trying to make This Is Vegas IIRC

I noticed many Unreal Engine 3 games in that era look shiny.

Who thought making Simon Cowell the protagonist of your open world...club simulator(?) was a good idea?

It was a new feature, so they thought it made their games look impressive. Aged like milk, though.

Unpopular opinion, but GTA IV did a better homage to Heat than GTA V. I used to love watching the mission breakdowns of this one with Packie and Derrick in particular.

That was my favorite mission in IV. A bank heist where you fight off half the LCPD in a subway and make it scot free.

I've heard some people say it was one of the hardest missions in IV. I disagree. If you know how to play, it's a breeze.

Phil Cassidy will forever be the best character out of the old GTAS.

Favourite mission was probs TBOGT's train mission. That whole add on had some great moments.

Climbing Rotterdam Tower while taking down police choppers, fleeing in a golf cart from mafia goons (after shooting golf balls at a goon tied to one of the golf carts), taking down a yacht with a stolen attack chopper, blowing up a subway car and construction crane to get rid of witnesses, and raising hell in a stolen SWAT APC were also great moments.

Rockstar really knocked it out of the park with TLAD and TBOGT, damn shame they got complacent with GTA Online.

Just parachuting in, shooting up an office building, then parachuting out was fun.

He knew how to make great moonshine, too. Too bad his arm was chopped off because of it, though.

I don’t know how it was possible but they made his origin story badass and tie well into the previous titles

Just a shame R* forgot which arm got blown off.

He was so drunk, he forgot which arm was blown off.

FUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!!

That add on was probably the best all around GTA game imo. It added back a lot of the gta over the top silliness that 4 was missing in the base game.

Yusuf Amir was well worth the price of admission.

I miss when R* would make substantial DLCs with their games.

I can sigh a breath of relief that GTA Online is basically one giant DLC that's bad instead of several individual ones.
