My first experience with GTA was the ripped version of Vice City, no radios and no cutscene audio. And I finished the game like that countless times, same with San Andreas. Boy I was BLOWN away when I finally got the play the full versions of these games and realized how much I was missing out.

@thebesto7787 6 месяцев назад

I don't know. I still had a blast with it because it still is a very fun game, but then again I didn't know what the real deal sounded like. Once I played the full VC I could never go back, though I still remember the old "Portable" version (as we used to call those lightweight versions) fondly.

@ilyakusenco8151 6 месяцев назад

Pirated Vice City had one radio station uncut - Wave 103. As a kid, that was more than enough, because IMO it's one of the most definitive radio stations of VC.

@plaq. 6 месяцев назад

So you are probably young. In 90s there were "ripped" versions of games that you could buy on floppy discs (later CDs). Dunno if it was the case in a different countries, but in Poland you could buy any game at market. Of course floppy discs were expensive. So they "ripped" all the games. What does it mean? Game had zero sounds, zero cutscenes, no pictures in loading screens etc. Crazy times but that was a standard and you see that sort of in that video.

@AndySp3080 6 месяцев назад

@lookstothetroon 6 месяцев назад

having the same 3 songs playing over 7 stations is a startlingly good prediction by the pirates, at least in britain, anyway

@csgoyuri6413 6 месяцев назад

As a kid I remember playing a copy of Vice City in an internet cafe where all of a sudden the game went into slow motion, the camera turning by itself and I recall hearing that same laughter from that soundback. Scared me hard and to this day I didn't dare to finish VC. Glad I now know the cause of that demonic laughter. For the camera/slow motion thing though I'm still lost.

@mercenarydelta7351 6 месяцев назад

The slow mo thing could be the first anti-piracy measure that somehow wasn't patched in the copy you played.

@keatonwastaken 6 месяцев назад

Impressive work from pirates to actually fit the games in tiny disks, just goes to show you can't really stop piracy because its not a choice in most countries where piracy is popular. Especially back then, buying games outside of certain parts of Europe and America was extremely hard, they would be overpriced due to conversion rates, tax and profit margins from the sellers. It was hard enough to buy a console, so buying games on top of it was an impossible cost for many, anti-piracy software eventually gets cracked and only hurts people who can't really afford the game.

@Rebelco 6 месяцев назад

When I was a kid all my games were pirated because was more easy and less expensive then getting the original, all my ps2, xbox 360 and pc games were pirated and I only got my first original game like in 2016 on steam because it was less expensive than buying a ps4 or xbox one and then the games... But even now are still people that consider pirating games around here because some games price are almost half of a minimum wage. Sorry for my broken english ^^'

@CyanRooper 6 месяцев назад

I'm willing to bet that most of the entire GTA fan base worldwide are actually playing pirated copies. If you ever see someone play GTA on a PC in a Third World Country, 90% of the time, they are using a pirated copy to play the game. It's why Rockstar Games always releases these games on consoles first where cracking them is much harder than on PC.

I actually had the San Andreas CD version for PC (that was decades ago) and I remember the game had no voices & no radio sound, it's basically just sound effects. And I think the CD case actually labeled "GTA San Andreas 100% Working"

@Manic_Panic 6 месяцев назад

I think now I understand why the old scene releases of the GTA Trilogy never had any music or voice. It was always something that bothered, I had bought San Andreas on PC (physical) but I wanted to mod it and couldn't because it was the 2.00 version. So I went for a scene release but they all had missing music/voices. Vice City was the same. It seems like they were meant for CDs after all.

Weirdly enough, I've definitely played with the game not being able to read some of the duplicate files. Had a very scratched disc that still worked, but the world barely loaded. I didn't experience the speed up or slowdown, but have fallen through the world into the water many times. Got to the race before the bank heist before giving up on the game.

@lilygoatgruff 6 месяцев назад

Finding a very broken file that's sorta readable will most often still have the measures able to read that the file is labelled properly and in the right spot, it just keeps missing little bits. The anti-piracy measures aren't just looking to see if it can't read it, it's looking to see if the disc originally said those things should be in those spots basically, by reading headers. Your PS2 knew that was a good disc, it had the headers saying "All this stuff is here don't worry boss" but when it actually goes there, it misses things. If it never found that message saying "Stuff is here" it would assume its pirated.

@HerecomestheCalavera 5 месяцев назад

The funny thing about anti-piracy measure is companies will spend a bunch of time and money adding in all these measures to stop pirates but in the end 99 percent of people who pirate the game will never even experience them because they get patched out almost immediately before the game gets uploaded online. I remember when Sonic Mania was actually delayed so they could add in more copy protection measures.....it was cracked only 8 days after launch! lol
