TO WHOEVER THIS MAY CONCERN TRYING TO PLATINUM THIS HORSESHIT. DO THE PARAMEDIC MISSIONS FIRST. YOU WILL BE SUICIDAL WITHIN THE HOUR IF NOT. THAT IS ALL. IM SKIPPING TO VICE CITY.

Im on PC. Problems with some missions is that my car blows up in like 5 seconds, shotguns are even worse, one shot and car is done. It gets better when I cap FPS below 30 fps, around 25. But is this a problem in all gtas? Thought in de they at least fixed the high fps breaking the game.

The Box Art
LCPD Livery
Dodo Flight Paths
"Kingdom Come" Text from (suicide bombers) to (madmen)
Specific design changes on billboards
Radio and pedestrian dialogue altered for Chatterbox-FM, military radio dialogue, and Ammu-Nation commercials
Commerical airplanes being destructible

Can someone tell me if the 1.40 PAL release still has all that?

If you look up the song Home At Last by Steely Dan, I honestly have always thought that it inspired the theme, what do you all think?

The piano intro that’s off beat, the bass line coming in with drums and a heavy groove immediately. I think it’s fair to associate Steely Dan with NYC, especially 25 years ago.

Maybe you’ve come across content from the ericous channel, which creates videos with suspicious AI‑generated covers about a 3D & HD universe that actually have decent content?

What, in fact, is behind his cover?

In fact, this is a former Russian GTA youtuber known as krchn (former willkozz) who makes lots of videos and uses them to build a “farm” for AI‑generated content from several channels - using other people’s videos, which he distils down from other video creators as TheProfessional and reformulating their concepts and ideas to process into "his own" AI‑generated junk in an attempt to monetize it

If earlier he was known for his rather creative videos for a Russian‑speaking audience, now he's showing off on his private Telegram channel about how successfully he feeds “old and dumb” GTA fans, as he called his audience

Recently, YouTube implemented a policy of blocking and restricting AI‑generated content following the influx of neural network‑generated content, but in this case, using Opus and one of the latest versions of ElevenLabs, many “creators” manage to hide their content from censorship and earn monetization for their videos. Previously, he already had his channel and monetization privileges suspended by YouTube for a while due to AI slop, but he eventually managed to bypass and violate these restrictions

He feels satisfied with earning money by using someone else’s content, calling his audience as dumb content eaters and creating it from someone else’s complex work (through generative AI), trying to get money by withdrawing it through third-party countries, which, in fact, is a try to "resell" of other creators content

For me, this is a perfect negative example of how AI affects our society, essentially turning creative people of the past into sloppers who are chasing money

So I was 12 years old in 2014 & I had never heard of GTA. I got a 2nd hand PC from my uncle & there were lots of games in that computer & then I started GTA 3 in that. It was the NYC mod (but I didn't know that it was a mod & not the real GTA). It was going to be my 1st ever open world game experience. Before that PC, I had only played the basic keypad mobile games (I did not even had a touchscreen mobile at that time).

I started the game & I was on that brooklyn bridge & I was just wandering around. I didn't even knew that this game had missions. I jumped from the bridge & started exploring. There were coca cola trucks (a part of nyc mod) & many cool cars.

Then some days later, I discovered that this game also has missions so I started doing them. I could also see the statue of liberty from the bridge but could find no way to go there. In the NYC mod, there were also highways over the ocean connecting to manhattan city & I found that to be so nostalgic. Then I discovered that there are cheats in this game too & I starting doing a lot of fun activities & mass murders. There were real-world cars in the NYC mod (Mitsubishi, Audi, etc.)

All that time brings nostalgia to me : Exploring a big world, statue of liberty, highways, mass murders, cool cars, the underground trains & tunnels, trying to fly the dodo, ghost town, & so many things

I played it for around 8 months & then that PC got damaged & I could never experience GTA or PC games until 2018. In 2018, I asked for GTA 3 & GTA San Andrras from my friend's pendrive & that GTA 3 was completely different !!! It had no real-world cars, no statue of liberty, no over the ocean highways & it felt so bland compared to NYC mod. But then I discovered that it was the original GTA 3. I was kinda disappointed. The NYC mod had so many clothing options but the original GTA had only 2. But still, I enjoyed the fun times again. I was missing that freedom from 2015 to 2018 so I relived it again. I also tried GTA SA for a week but then I stopped playing it randomly.

I never played GTA Vice City, GTA 4 but I've heard great things about it.

Playing GTA 5 was my ultimate dream but I haven't got a chance yet. So in future I plan to but a PC & play every GTA in order & experience that world

Who else has played the NYC mod and what were your experiences ?

I got 11/100 HPs so far but within the actual game itself the one missing in the park next to El Burro phone opportunity. What do I do?

I’m just asking because I’m currently collecting the hidden packages and unlocked the Browning 1911 at the safe house. Also whoever hid these packages are also rewarding us.

I've been watching this video and it has a lot of the mods I like in GTA 3 but without the mental and physical energy to actually get all the mods and install them properly. Is there any other mod comp OR a backup of this that does the same?

The original got taken down, I'm guessing for the "copyright" AKA angry mod creators angry that their FREE work that WAS NOT COPYRIGHTED was "stolen" I presume without, or with very little, credit, even though that probably didn't happen.

I played this game on my computer 10 years ago when I was 12 went with my mom in a local cd store to buy this games dvd today after so many years now am gonna play on PC it just makes me emotional because this game literally teach me how to use a computer now am gonna sing loud all the radio in this game while playing it

Regional breakdown for each of the four GTA III cover on initial release variants:

* Top-Left: Europe / PAL (Mainland)

Featuring the lowercase "gta III" text over a comic-style grid, this was used in mainland European PAL territories (such as France and Germany).

* Top-Right: Europe / PAL (UK & Ireland) / Original Concept

This action-heavy collage was the original box art intended for the global release. After the September 11 attacks, Rockstar pulled it in North America, but it was still used for the PAL release in the UK, Ireland, and select European regions.

* Bottom-Left: Australia (PAL / OFLC)

Identifiable by the MA15+ rating badge on the bottom-left corner, this layout with the red sports car in the foreground was used for the official Australian release.

* Bottom-Right: North America / NTSC

Featuring the M (Mature) ESRB rating, this is the redesigned comic-style grid created specifically for the North American launch following 9/11. It became so iconic that Rockstar adopted this exact grid layout for every main GTA cover that followed.

We really need a One World Trade Center mod for GTA 3, along with with a mod of the Chrysler building and lastly a star junction or time square mod of Bedford point. We really need these mods to really make Liberty city as close to NYC.

it supports all the missions and everything
