Franklin's default ringtone in V is a slightly modified song from III's Lips 106.

Why not Red Dead 2? Guess R* wants to push their online franchises.

What the hey, I've been meaning to try Red Dead 2 (Online). Hopefully with the Wild West setting, it's more balanced than GTA Online.

From everything I've heard... don't get your hopes up.

I haven't played it since release, but from what my friends told me it's "balanced" in the sense that what your doing and your location isn't pinged out to everyone when you're doing missions to earn money, and that there isn't some flying horse with rockets to fuck your day up.

But they also told me Rockstar is super greedy making you grind forever or pay money to take on the roles and stuff. Also it's just kind of boring.

Spoiler: R* Logic

Why would Mickey assassinate somebody by a car crusher and decide to "dump the car in the river?" Even more funny, ask to drop him off home while evading the cops? What kind of hitman DOES THAT?

 

[X Pac Heat]

It's cause Micky needed a ride home of course. Dude just had that 3D era balls of steel/stupidity

I wish they would have released LCS and VCS on PC. I have them on PS2 but they look like dogshit and I can't stand phone controls.

Here's the problem with porting the PSP games to PC.
The helicopter mechanics are tied to being able to tilt thumbsticks and I suspect there are other mechanics that were the same. I played through both games on a PC emulating the PS2 versions and holy shit, the controls do not translate well. 90 percent of the time, the controls are serviceable and I tried to imitate the PC controls from San Andreas. First person aiming (like with a rocket launcher) is also trash because there is no mouse support. Makes the final Liberty City Stories mission a real ball buster.

Aren't the Stories conversions on PC running on the Vice City and San Andreas engines?

LCS doesn't even have helicopters without hacks I thought.

I'd also assume they'd just, you know, change the controls. I'd assume they had to do it for the mobile version. And I use a controller anyways so *shrug*

I don't think there are any helicopters either, but the game still has terrible controls with other mechanics when being emulated.

You would think. GTA3 still is broken on PC (glitched widescreen, buggy frame rate) and has some rough mouse aiming.
There's no chance they would even bother with a proper PC port. It would probably be based off the mobile version but even worse because that's just how they do things on PC.

You can "fly", even save helicopters in LCS. Just take some doing. Unsure about mobile.

At least it would be available to fix. Most of the 3D Era PC ports have been fixed and improved by the community anyways.

GTA LCS has banging rap music.

I know it has been a month since DMX passed on, but I just find it funny that in Liberty City Stories that the instrumental to this song almost sounds like the theme to the game itself.

Not sure if Toni actually bobs his head while listening to this, though. He seems more like the classical music type.

It was the 90s. Rap music was hard at the time. LCS delivered the 90s vibes in spades. Unlike Vice City with the 80s, LCS feels lived in. It's not paradise, it's raw but authentic.
