Yeah I read this game is not a clone I played this I had read the novels about Dante the 9 circles of hell so if I played this before God of war to me which one is the clone, I'm also sick of every crime sand box game been a gta clone or a fighting game with blood being a mk clone, everything in life takes inspiration from another all I know is if date is a clone well then I love clones. Pal video was great all points you made were true and as I said I f-ing loved it. Thanks for the memories. Stay safe and well..
I think that Claude's sole motivation throughout the game is to get revenge on Catalina. The first few missions are just to help him establish himself in the city and figure out what's what, and the mission where he tails Curly Bob is where he finally figures out what his next steps should be. You'll notice that he always aligns himself with organizations that are directly at odds with the cartel, and he planned to use the Leone family to help take down Catalina until that idiot Maria screwed everything up. So he had to start over with the Yakuza, and being hired to take out Kenji in a cartel vehicle suits Claude's purposes perfectly because it motivates the Yakuza to go to war with the cartel. Then the idiot Maria screws everything up again probably by accidentally leading the cartel directly to Asuka, getting Asuka killed and getting herself kidnapped. So he doesn't really have any choice except to follow the instructions on the ransom note to get to Catalina under the guise of saving Maria. Maria is nothing but a problem for Claude throughout the game, so it's not really a surprise that he shoots her after he "saves" her- she would have just caused more problems for him in the future.
The fact this game was so bad it got removed from being canon is all you need to know. The developer's said it themselves this game was so bad it doesn't exist in the lore.
I just finished Juarez, Juarez Bound in Blood and Juarez Gunslinger in 3 days, with perfecting Gunslinger, what involved playing it again, but with harder difficulty 🥴. All great games, would recommend. Got them for just below four Eurobucks on Steam and don't regret the purchase a bit. Gunslinger was the greatest fun, but a bit casual. Bound in Blood required me to create an account an chose a password. Kinda weird, but you do it once and can just log in without a hassle. The crosshair is also ugly in Bound in Blood, but you get used to it. Pleasantly surprised by the series. Gunslinger also still looks beautiful and the short story is very welcome.
finally found this again at an antique shop (yes an ANTIQUE shop) and it’s just as good as i remember it when i probably shouldn’t have been playing it at 10 -11 years old because my parents literally thought the same point you made early in the video
Tommy Vercetti, Carl Johnson, and Niko Belic are way more iconic than GTA five protags. Yeah, GTA5 is fun and all, but when you say their full names- you can't just say Tommy, Carl, Niko. But when you say their full names, you really feel it in your soul.
I remember feeling kinda sad when I realized DMX wasn't in def jam fight for ny he was my favorite fighter in vendetta if they remake this game he definitely needs to be a DLC
Kinda a small detail Phil in GTA 3 is missing his left arm Vice city he’s missing his right arm 😅 wonder if that’s just a mistake Or a different person entirely
I genuinely loved this game. The diving and slow time bullets absolutely blew my mind back then. I loved running around with pistols killing everyone. The prison sequence was my favourite
I love Vice City. It was such a great game. I also was a huge fan of GTA Liberty City. It was a major influence on the first car I ever bought, a black 1999 BMW 3 series with a ram leather interior.
I genuinely hate fallout 3 engine and gameplay, it's so freaking janky and buggy I can't enjoy it at all, I will try playing it with ttw mods but even then the game for. me. it's not. we'll made
Fallout 3's world falls flat on the most fundamental level. If the game was set 20 years after the war, it would be a bit less nonsensical. But a dead wasteland 200 years after the apocalypse in which nobody grows any food, nah. Immediately immersion-breaking. And having 160 locations on the map, but only 28 quests is also kinda terrible. Most of the locations are just generic dungeons with generic loot anyway. That kind of world design has no place in real Fallout. Bethesda never understood that, and their downfall in recent years is so deserved and satisfying.
Dc was hit by waves of nukes and they wanted to go for a desrted atmosphere. The world forces you to explore and I do agree on the lack of quest is underwhelming, the game excells in being about exploring a deserted DC thats struggled to survive, not even rebuild. Constant fighting amongst small societies, heavy radiation, and threats like mutants and ghouls. Many prewar ghouls explain the years of chaos after bombs fell and holotapes describing this. Just because you refuse the world building doesnt mean its not there. I do agree New Vegas is better, but you can also literally just murder faction members then turn in ears and ya'll good again. NV is better overall, but 3 isnt much worse.
@@justwhy7449 That's not how it works with the nukes. Basically the half-life of most radioactive isotopes of Uranium is no longer than 30 years, so after 60 years, most of the things should have gone back to normal, and after 200 years the DC area should have been blooming with plants. If there are no plants, the food chain is broken and nobody can survive. Being sent by Moira to a pre-war supermarket to look for food, 200 years after the war is laughable, nonsensical, and immersion-breaking. No matter how much though you put into environmental storytelling, if you don't make your world work on the most fundamental level, then it doesn't make sense and it sucks. It's spectacle with no substance. Two cartoon characters playing superheroes have an argument. A cartoon character is experimenting on ants. Want to blow up a nuclear bomb for no reason? And there is nobody growing any food. The wasteland is also supposed to be having a dire problem with clean water. And yet almost nobody in the world is talking about it. And on top of everything, Bethesda decided to make a character back story for you, so you cannot really role play the way you want. And the main story sucks too, the writing is terrible. But that's the staple of Bethesda. And exploration sucks, because the game is wide as an ocean, but shallow as a puddle.
Friend, i agree completely, i do love the first 4 Fallout games, from the first one to New Vegas. As for the shooting, yeah, i like it as it is, it wasn't supposed to be perfect. And here is why Fallout 4 and 76 suck. That HUUUUGE crosshair it's disgusting. Fallout is an RPG series, not a first person shitter. They've lost the essence of the series. Personally, i use the inaccurate crosshair that came with Fallout 3 and FNV. Or i use VATS when i want to be accurate. Also, i play in 3rd person view unless i am exploring dark, indoors places, checking every nook and cranny. I enjoy the game as a movie and movies are not in first person, unless some flashbacks or somesuch.
Having your own radio station where you could play mp3s was an awesome option, i remember listening to music driving around town collecting money from my properties
Why can you play as a ghoul if you are in the brotherhood of steal. I love the idea of playing as a ghoul, but they put it in the one game where it didn't work because BOS hate them.
