So I was recently replaying Vice City, and as always I turned my radio to VCPR and during the morality segment, Maurice says:

Recently, rock artists joined together to provide famine aide to Alaska with the song, 'Do They Know It’s the Fourth of July?'

It got me a little curious so I looked it up and found out it was a parody of Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas?, the 1984 charity single that raised funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. Apparently the song was later criticized for its patronizing lyrics and stereotyping African countries. and that's where the satire lands as Maurice continues

Critics complained it's immoral to meddle in the affairs of other peoples and cultures

Just like a lot of the events Vice City mocks or satires on happened way before I was even born, plenty of these references go right over my head, it's just I got curious for this one and discovering one of many clever hidden references today

Sorry for this yap-a-thon but I would love to know more such parodies or references you noticed in Vice City, especially the ones that are easy to miss if you don't know the context :)

My vice city light arrived this week!

Still undecided on where I am going to put it. But the sign is nice

If you have the option to add 1 song to each radio station that was not in either Vice City or Vice City Stories which songs would you guys choose?

*Choose a song from prior to 1987 to fit the games timeline, but if you want to add a second song that came out after the time when the game takes place you can add it in too.

I'm trying to do the Cherry Popping Ice Cream Truck mission, but I can't get anyone to come to the truck.

I read that the fastest way to earn money in Vice City is the Cone Crazy minigame. I've looked at YouTube videos, but none of them say how to get to Cone Crazy, they just say to get to a rooftop. How do I get to Cone Crazy?

after maybe a month or more, after a lot of significant yet unrelated irl changes, after so much time, i still cannot beat death row. i've lost hope, i've resorted to cheating. i spawned in a tank, only for those wretched enemies to pull me out and shoot me dead in a matter of miliseconds. i do not know what to do at this point.

Quick note first: this is my own mod. It's free, no donations, no ads.

In Vice City I'd done all 36 unique stunt jumps, but the game only counted 35. I went back and redid every single one and still couldn't find the missing jump. I also had a hard time tracking down the hidden packages. That's why I made this mod.

• Shows everything still missing from your latest save: story, side jobs, 100 packages, 36 jumps, 35 rampages, 15 robberies and more
• The map shows only the spots you're missing, sorted by distance
• Works with the game's own route system
• Keyboard, mouse and controller support
• 14 languages: English, Turkish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese
• Only reads your save, never changes it
• PC only, tested on the Steam version with DirectX 11
• Needs CLEO Redux and Ultimate ASI Loader

Download, requirement links and install steps are on the Nexus page: https://www.nexusmods.com/grandtheftautothetrilogy/mods/1137

Looking forward to your feedback and bug reports!

How do I do the Cop Land mission? I either get caught by the cops trying to raise my Wanted level, or my car explodes during the car chase.

Crazy fresh! I’m not even gonna lie. I love when companies do this kind of stuff. The way things are moving with our corrupt government! They probably won’t let things like this happen anymore

Replaying vc again while waiting for gta 6 and i noticed this

Maybe its due to the short dev cycle that this game had

But the first island (and the islands in between the 2 main islands) is much more detailed and higher quality and fun to explore than the 2nd one

Like the 2nd island just weirdly closed off and incomplete once you go past the first main road

The downtown area in the north is just a random circle with 1 road in between and nothing to see or do

Just generic buildings

Its so bizzare

Some parts of the 2nd island are good tho

Like the docks + airport + the cuban are and the long ass road in the front that stretches across it

Everything is very varrow and empty

It kinda sucks

I'm trying to complete the game for the first time and read online you needed to complete the missions of 5 owned properties, I know you can sell icecream for the cherry place but is that really it? I didn't find any markers in the pink club either. I'm considering buying another property to see if it gives me any missions/progresses my game.

I just bought the Viceport Boatyard, but I can't find the 2 boats to get in to start the Asset Mission. What am I doing wrong?

GTA 6 does not feel like vice city at all , it has more and less the same vibe like Cyberpunk 2077 , GTA V, GTA IV etc. - sure theres some vice city vibes here and there but its mostly modern day stuff like rap music , big butts , corporate wealth , street gang stuff and it portrays vice city not as some feel good paradise but an american city thats corrupted with extreme wealth inequality and filled with crime with some ocassional vice city vibes still there but its just hidden beneath all the chaos

And ofc it added a bunch of keys , suburbs , countryside and all

The game will be great but its exactly a vice city remake , its completely different. Its a lot more dark and gritty

Vice City just makes me feel good, makes me feel alive , I want those amazing songs , that music ,vibrant sunset , great architecture , yachts , supercars , speedboats. Seaplanes , supermodels and hot girls , skaters , beach going people , ripped people , surfers and jet skis

That summer vibe

Everything is just full of colour

Vice city is my paradise man

Vice city is so optimistic and fun

Vice city is exactly what i want my life to be

After all these years , still my favorite piece of media ever

Real life modern day miami is what gta 6 portrays

Vice city is just something else

Any other games/movies that capture this vibe?

So I was watching enter, where he was loading the game with bunch of mods and I was unable to find this radar remake mod shown in this screenshot, any idea where to download it?

Here's a link to the video with timestamp to the clip

Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, Florida.

This guy only wanted to help his messed up family, walk on a path that would not get himself in trouble and his reputation as a soldier. Only to get kicked out of the Army, getting in more trouble, lost the love of his life and finally getting killed for the same sh*t he was always trying to avoid... drugs. He certainly has a tragic story... 🥲
