5 Things Players DISLIKE About GTA Vice City 

*What do you dislike about Vice City?!*

5. *Can't swim* 4. *Difficult missions* 3. *Cops* 2. *Customisations* 1. *Map size*

I like how this gem of a game is still relevant 16 years later 😊

What I hate about GTA Vice City: I'm not in it

I didn't like how you couldn't lock-on with assault rifles, just did that 1st-person crap

The best things about vice city are: 1.the 80s setting is great 2.the characters 3.the soundtrack (the best of all gta) 4.the story 5.tommy is awesome 6.the voice actors 7.the map The worst things are: 1.everything else

I wanna see gta 6 return to vice city as well but still sticking with the Scarface theme id like to see them include Cuba, Columbia and the Caribbean in between along with Miami of course being the primary area.

If i was a GTA protagonist, i wouldn't swim because i don't know how to do it.

I swear to god if you begin about "Demolition Man", it isn't as bad as people say. people keep saying as if it's unbeatable, but it's quite easy so can we please stop about that one.

1. Cops 2. Boat missions 3. Can't swim 4. Other difficult missions 5.... Still love it even if it makes me mad sometimes I just recently played it again ❤

I can think of a few things . Not being able to swim. Not enough space for new guns/melee weapons. No planes to do sick tricks in. There,s more but the list is too long.

I said it with the Wrong Side of The Tracks mission and I'll say it with the RC Helicopter mission I never understood why people thought it was hard just pick up the bombs slice some dudes drop em then your done😂😂 the racing hillary mission was hard as hell tho😂

After SA the best in the series in my eyes. For it's time it was amazing that soundtracks alone and that first time driving past that coastline with neonlights was dope.

I Love Gta Vice City

How come Vice City Stories isn't on android yet the other ones are available to download and I've been waiting for VCS to be available but it hasn't 😬

Well, all of those issues excluding the mission ones are simply because of technical stuff, they didn't have much technology back then in 2002 , and mission wise it's meant to be challenging for a reason, most of the gta v players complain about its missions being too easy, every game must have some challenges you know, nice video pal !

This is still one of my top 10 games today despite its flows but we definitely have to look at it from it’s time (2002) and what was possible then or what could even be executed well. On the ps2 I experienced a lot of freezes just because of the frame rate and the limited power of the system itself. Driving fast in the races could be quite annoying because of this. The lackluster vehicle ai of the time especially when you were trying to do say an ambulance mission and you were flying down towards Little Havana and another vehicle suddenly switches lanes right in front of you was a pain in the ass. I really hated how in this game if you were running and switched from pavement to grass or stepped or walked over a curb you lost health and Tommy groaned. I never understood that. Was he pulling a hammy or something? Having so many cops around could be annoying but I also liked the challenge and going on the occasional rampage. Boating missions could be frustrating like when you have to take sharp turns and hit a checkpoint on a narrow ramp. I also wanted an expansion of the map but I did enjoy it as is and liked how well the map was utilized compared to others like San Andreas where they were trying to create the biggest map possible. Like there was a lot of wasted space in Los Ventures that would have been more fun if you really got the feel of an area and maybe there were a mission at the baseball stadium instead of just “oh we have a baseball stadium for no apparent reason”. In Vice City you really got to enjoy the map but the closest thing to expansion was Vice City Stories and they did some improvements especially that bridge by Sunshine Auto that was added so you didn’t have to drive forever to the airport or Fort Baxter. We can always want more out of Vice City but it’s still one of the best.

isnt that broken disc from one of your other videos or stream cuz I remember you broke a gta vc disc on purpose

I played vice city when it originally came out on ps2 and loved it. I recently rebought the remastered version on PS4 and thought it aged badly and the controls were terrible however I gave it an hour and then Realised why it’s my best game of all time. Yes the controls take a while to get used to and some missions are flawed but when you get used to it it’s not overly difficult and it’s actually really fun. I even got a platinum trophy which was insanely hard and I put over 100 hours into it but I felt great when it was completed

The thing I hate about vice city is that it lack from highways, plus the map is way too much smaller as compared to other gta maps.

5 Things Players DISLIKE About GTA Vice City Stories

Definitely agree about the water. Yeah, the race against Hilary is a pain in the ass. The RC copter one is not that bad though. It's just time consuming. Nevertheless, if you take out the workers first, and then lay the first bomb on the top floor, the rest of the mission is a piece of cake. Cops aren't that bad. No interest in customization at all though. I love the map, though I do agree it would have been cool to have at least had the glades in there. My biggest annoyances besides the lack of being able to swim include the poor aiming mechanics, the lack of being able to turn the camera, and that stupid ass god damn missiong G-Spotlight. Oh my god does that mission frustrate me. Well, any mission with a time limit frustrates me, but that has got to be the worst of them all. It is the only mission that takes me many many tries before I can get it right.

The reason why you can't swim is there is sharks it says it on the manual

Did you look at this comment zack

Tommy starts Swimming Me: Wait that's illegal

The racing mission sure was tough and took me multiple tries on PS2, but later in my life when I played it on PC it was easy because you could alter the game's files and make Hillary's car super slow :D You could basically mod any vehicle in the game, which made for a lot of fun moments, like doing stunt jumps with ridiculously fast bikes

The timed missions were a pain in the ass ! I loved everything else but now I've got it on PS4 the controls are a struggle after playing online so long ☹️

What I dislike about Vice City is Mercedes Cortez didn’t get together with Tommy and Candy Suxxx should have been a friend to hang out with

One thing I don't like is an ad every 90seconds that you can't skip and you have to wait for 30 seconds to return to the video and then you have to rewind it because the ad cut you off in the middle of a sentence.

2.8K likes, you are close to 3K!! I met more than one person that started playing this game and thought it was pretty cool but gave up on it when they got to Demolition Man. The missions before that one are pretty tame, nothing too hard, but suddenly you get this mission with this RC helicopter with really finicky controls and yeah, it gets really frustrating when you try and try again to place the bombs but you're slightly off place and you have to pick the bomb up again and you are crashing all over the place and destroy the helicopter.

What animation mod did you install? Because tommy running animation look A LOT better than the original one, which I never liked at all :)

Gta vice city is the best swimming simulator

hi

As always, a great video. Keep up the good work! Please continue this series.

Top 5 problems with VC, IMO: 1) Literally nothing 2) Literally nothing 3) Literally nothing 4) Literally nothing 5) The mission where you have to save Lance is a bit difficult.

When ya gonna go live again zac...i always love your live streams

I like gta vice city but I love gta sanandreas

The two things I hated were 1: how all the cars/traffic would dissappear when you urgently need a car 2: when you're just cruising along and you find a rare obscure car but the second you get in it and drive everyone in town suddenly has that car

One of the main reasons for being unable to swim in my opinion is to avoid giving too much access to the map too early; additionally, more powerful weapons are on the western island, this would give too much of an advantage to the players.

I seriously beat Demo Man first try on ps2

GTA 3 Game play?

thay rc helicopter mission never bothered me. The first time I failed to finish it in my first try but nailed it every time afterwards. during the race with hillary I used to activate the flying car cheat and most of the times hillary would get stuck into something and if not I used to deactivate the cheat after gaining a bit of distance. The hardest missions were actually on gta 3. the coffe shop mission and the phone mission. Though played gta 3, vice city and san andreas on my phone not long ago and found out the games are pretty easy. Maybe the thing is that when gta 3 rolled out I was only 10 years old. I have always been a pc gamer and maybe that's why the controls felt easier for me.

I remember doing the mission (I forgot the name) where Tommy sat in a van maneuvering a tiny helicopter to set bombs and bring down a building. That was probably one of the worse mission I'd ever done in my life, and after 34 times trying (that's right, 34) I just raged quit. My friend cleared it for me but that was horrible.

I like Gta Vice City

What I don't get is. Why do people hate demolition man? And why do people find it so hard? I mean it's not that hard of a mission I believe people are making it harder than it really is? I wiz through mission like nothing. It's an easy mission. And no I'm not being sarcastic or joking I literally always hate seeing how people use it as a very hard mission when it's really not that hard at all

The story of Vice City makes up for nearly all of the points you make. It's meant to feel like you're actually playing Scarface and Miami Vice, not to feel like a huge sandbox game which you will explore for thousands of hours. Sure you can look at this like limitations, and most probably they are, but I don't feel like I was not given enough. It's my favorite GTA game mainly because of the story and the characters. I don't mind that I can't customize the cars when I'm loving the game world and 80s style so much.

When I had GTA VC completely new, the RC helicopter was the first time I got in contact with heli controls (GTA 3 didn't have them, and in VC you only get access to helis much later), so it took me ages to pass that mission. Nowadays it's simple because of all the flying experience from multiple playthroughs of VC and SA. Now the driver mission is something totally different I still fail that occasionally even today. It's the only race you can call challenging.

Vice City was the best !

I hated the loading screen

1:24 ZacCox: In Vice City, you can't swim Tommy: *swims while Zac says that.* Me: BOI! 👋👋😑

Keep doing thieve videos Zac love em makes my day complete I’m happy I subscribed to your channel take care champ😉

I agree with these, but its still the best gta game ever

You can't swim

The one mission I absolutely hate was flying the airplane through checkpoints to drop flyers for the studio. You either ran out of fuel, hit a building and can't get back up or missed the checkpoint and had to go back which costed more time and mostly made you run out of fuel. That was so rage inducing!!

The Driver mission is pretty easy for me. Maybe I always drive Sentinel that makes the mission so easy to beat.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's just the small things in these games that make them all the same but also unique in a way. For a company like Rockstar to make two or more products that have a lot in common while also making them different at the same time. Just appreciate it for what it is!

Tommy Vercetti can drive A car,motorcycle,tank,speedboat, and can fly a helicopter but can't swim #Gtalogic

y'all remember that mission where you have to control that drone in a building site? hate that one for sure

Well, Vice City had some brutal missions scattered even in the main questline. The driver is one example, the other very annoying missions being the hydroplane flying (film studio) and the boat checkpoint race (boatyard). This was most annoying. I don't mind difficult missions to get 100% score such as driving school in San Andreas (getting 100% gold was almost impossible to do), but having these in main storyline is just not fun. I beat The Driver mission only after editing handling.cfg, reduced this sabre turbo to almost zero speed :D

What dislike about Vice City and its the same with San Andreas is when u die you have your weapons took off u. It make sense when u get busted but in IV and V if u die u don’t get ur weapons taken off u but in these earlier games u do. Other than that I think its a great game for its time I think the soundtrack is one of the best in GTA History and the gameplay is quite addictive too

Granted some of the missions are annoying but San Andreas has more annoying missions. The zero ones especially are pointless and annoying. There's only really 3 missions on Vice City I hate. San Andreas has the zero missions, and far too many pointless racing ones, but because people look at San Andreas with rose tinted glasses and believe it can do no wrong, it gets ignored. Don't get me wrong I like San Andreas, but it's negative aspects get overlooked a lot of time. Great storyline though.

1. Aiming 2. Glitchy buggy in missions 3. Cops are everywhere 4. Demolition man 5. Water and no swimming

My least favorite thing about vice city is that I have to play on pc, where one of the missions is glitched so you can’t progress through the game, and rockstar stopped updating the game

A girl friend of mine let me make out with her because I passed the remote helicopter mission for her in one try. It's true.

Absolutely nothing

What mod do you have to make tommys walking animations different almost similar to cjs from san andreas i've seen in alot of your vice city videos that your version is alot different what other mods do you use aswell because they look real good in vice city

I’m new but keep it up these indeph videos are really interesting and relaxing to play watch. Maybe you should do cons & pros of these series

I click dislike every time a creator panhandles for likes...

I dislike how it’s now on PS4 and not Xbox one!

I think it was so ewhat covered in this video. I would add the boat missions with a time limit or such. There were not very many of them but they were annoying. Like the speedboat mission given by Ricardo Diaz. Customisation was pretty awesome back in the day though it was not so well made. Pardon me saying but I think despite the flaws there these older games were far better than the mainstream today. In 2002 there were also Iron Storm and such so it was a very good year.

Since I'm playing it yet again. Your 5 1) Swim - Never bothered me, better than stupid swimming missions 2) Missions - Mentioned ones are fine, driver is tough but hey you need tough levels. The boat ones suck though because they handle so badly 3) Cops - mildly annoying, but it's the ridiculous aggression that gets me...although not as bad as in Driver (the game) 4) Customisation - Didn't care that much and the cloths at different locations are also 2 star fixers so that's great. GTA SA went too far, you had to do that stuff to complete it which really sucks. 5) Map size - Thought it was perfect, unlike 3 and especially SA which both have basically unused areas which just make travelling longer. Big enough to be enjoyable without being a pain to cross. No can't think of anything else that's an issue.so 1) Very few missions, mostly boats and maybe RCs although not the supper easy helicopter ones 2) Over aggressive cops 3) Even then a placeable check point on the map would have been good.

Zac doesn’t have the balls to pin this

8:23 OOF that didn't age well lol!

How did you do that thing where you went to the side of the Malibu Club and got a list of all the missions? Can you replay them after completing the game?

Before watching... -Not being able to swim. There are hidden packages in parts of the ocean and not being able to swim makes some of them hard to get. -Gun Runner. I despise that mission. -RC Raider Pickup. I despise that side mission. Its in the airport, to activate it go inside the Top Fun van. You fly an RC helicopter that’s controls are much more broken than in Demolition Man. -On PS2, not being able to aim with Sniper Rifle, Kruger and Rocket Launcher. Thankfully its fixed in the PC version. -Pole Position Club. Its boring sitting in a strip club for 5 minutes in a video game. In real life, it would be great, but this is a video game.

"You can't swim in GTA Vice city" *Shows footage of Tommy swimming*

The graphics and controls are ass that’s why I’ve never fully played the game I could only just handle the remastered san andreas

The loading screen between city’s going across the bridges or flying a heli

VC (and GTA 3) is on a completely different level to the more recent ones imo, they may not be as mechanically or visually impressive but for all they're shortcomings I actually really like the simplicity and arcade feel to them. First GTA I ever played ❤

Demolition Man is the mission that took me the greatest effort to pass in all GTA games I've played. What a fuckin' mission!

Tommy was in prison for 15 years. That’s why he can’t swim. If you don’t do something for 15 years chances are you can’t do it anymore.

Could name a few... -White Men Also Can't Swim -Not knowing how to reach the final missions -Scavenge the hidden packages -Having their saves corrupted from saving in the ice cream factory -The _infamous_ "Demolition Man" mission where people just suck at driving a miniature helicopter. I laugh at this, because I just blaze through this mission as a kid.

Great vid Zach. Sorry I was late for it 😂

The missions you call way too hard, I highly enjoyed as a 12 year old kid and still do. Vice City was pure gold for its era

0:36 Is "in hindsight" a game ? When did it come out I wanna play it ? Is it playable on a windows 7 ?

The swimming was the only thing I thought sort of sucked but this game was a masterpiece for its time. Other then that I didn’t have any gripes. Nice video

One thing I just don't get even now. R* said they cut planes from IV coz it was a small map. But in VC which is much smaller, they put a f*king skimmer. Makes no sense! tbh nice vid as always Zaccy!

Hii

Nice video zac

Not having special cars isn't a GTA problem, the game is from 2002 FFS, no other game had that, honestly. My maisn problem with this game is not being able to swim - it's still my favourite game from the franchise.

I remember that RC helicopter mission. That was a pain in the ass, I spent many hours on that.

Yeah, The Driver mission was annoying and what's even worse is that Hilary ends up dying the Heist mission anyway, so racing him seems pointless. As for the cops, I feel like they are always generally incompetent except for Gta 4 where they actually help sometimes. I don't like how in GTA 5 it's actually harder to get rid of the cops even when you only have one star and how you can kill civilians with a single punch, I want them to give me a real fist fight like in the 3D universe.

the controls for shooting was also horrible and when you died all your weapons despawned, I hated it! But still only love for VC

The swimming thing, Well, l can live without it. What was funny was, you could carry enough weapons and ammo to start a war, but water .....water will kill you.Very minor flaw. I was never fond of all the timed missions. Demolition man mission I can live with. Just fly into the building without a bomb and hunt everyone down b4 you set up the bombs. When everyone is dead, pick up the bombs and do the top floor first. Work your way down. Works great. Also wouldn't mind seeing Tommy come back....

good points in this video I recently completed the missions. it was a pretty good challange but not too difficult. it took me a month to complete. the previous month I completed gtaIII and I thought that was more difficult.

Hey, Zac!!! This is my opinion of things that I don't like about GTA Vice City!!! 1. Tommy still can't swim, can't crouch while walking (GTA SA had it!!!) and can't climbing objects!!! 2. Can't waypoint map and no money cheat!!! 3. Health run out so quickly if you doing 6 star wanted level rampage, FBI and S.W.A.T Team kill you in a matter of second and you are dead!!! 4. Lack of extend clothes customize like GTA SA!!! (GTA VC only had few outfit customize!!!) and no car customize!!! 5. Can't play basketball, can't playing video games machine like GTA SA and can't use drinking machine!!! 6. No Florida Keys and Swamp area!!! (I hope GTA 6 had it!!!) 7. Mouse not working (Win 10) while playing GTA VC for first time, you need to install Silent Patch to be able playing GTA VC with mouse working!!! 8. Playing GTA VC in my gaming laptop had game breaking bug and glitches because FPS is too high (more than +60 FPS) so i cap GTA VC to normal 60 FPS by using Rivatuner to fix game breaking bug and glitches issue!!!

The Driver mission The mission with helicopter was pretty easy in comparsion of The Driver Mission. I raged until I did it :D

Great list bro. One of my favourite games.

I still don't understand why we can't swim in vice city. It couldn't have been Technical limitations because (2001) jak and daxter had a massive world around vice city size, and jak could swim perfectly fine
