All I can say is I’m glad this is not how driving works in real life, as nearly every trip I take in a car in GTA3 ends this way.
I never finished the game when I originally played back in 2002 (dig those awesome textures) so I’m going in this time with a specific goal: to collect all 100 packages hidden throughout Liberty City. I’ll also be doing any other bonus activity as I see fit (taxi, ambulance and fire missions, other optional missions, stunt jumps and so on). My goal is pretty much to just do the things I find entertaining and skip as many of the ‘real’ missions as possible. I dimly recall a number of them being quite annoying so I’m happy to avoid them if possible.
My original plan was to play the game as a ‘good’ bad guy but I don’t think you can open up the rest of the city without shanking at least a couple of (no doubt deserving) people so I abandoned that fairly quickly. If all goes well (or especially if it doesn’t) I’l be recording my efforts for posterity on Broken Forum, which has a huge and frightening sub-forum devoted to the Let’s Play format.
I’ve done three previous LPs:
Brother, can you spare some DNA? A Spore playthrough
Queer as Sims: A Sims 3 playthrough
They shoot unicorns, don’t they? A Secret of the Magic Crystals playthrough
