GTA: Vice City

Yes, but some of us don't like expending $400 annually on a faddish console that's just going to go completely out of date in another year, is limited to poor TV resolution, and has a ridiculous control system. I've never liked consoles and never will, so if that offends console-only game makers, they can go fuck themselves sideways with a rusty telephone pole.

It may take a little longer to make a PC version of the same game, but with two versions, they're hitting the two biggest game markets. And some people will buy the same game for both PC and console, so it really means double profits.

(Besides, the GTA:VC engine is very similar to the GTA3 engine, so there shouldn't be much extra effort necessary to convert it...)

Ah, I love VC. And I love the BAR. And I love remote detonated grenades. And I love the Sandking. And I love the Apache. And I love getting the Apache from Baxter.

My most favorite (and reckless) way to grab it is to get the sea plane, and crash it into the corner of the base where the chopper is, then after handling the fuzz with my magnum (coolest pistol ever) I jump on in, usually have to put the health code in cause those M-16s'll do a number on it, and boom I'm outta there.

Did I mention I love the Mr. Vercetti suit? Pure 80's style.

Dude, you can just get in some cop clothes and the Army guys won't shoot at you when you steal the Apache (assuming you don't hang around too long in the base, they'll go after you if you dawdle too long).

Hmm... do army fatigues have the same effect as cop clothing?

(Of course, I'd imagine that they're somewhat harder to acquire...)

As far as I'm aware, you can't get an army outfit in the game.

Shhh, called a mod chip.

No, no I've beaten the game, I have the cop suit. I just like the thrill of crashing in there and gunning my way through. Hell, I'll run in through the front door, duck and cover until I get there. Instead of walking in unopposed, BORING! Give me a challenge anyday.

I am playing this right now, and that boats are a piece of shit. I hate having to use these god damn things. The Helicopter's are only slightly better. This game pisses me off so damn much. It's like a hit or miss game. Some missions are fun as hell, others are just down right boring and shitty. Sometimes I have fun just walking out and gunning down a bunch of people, but that gets old quick.
