Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city"

  I’ve never understood the love that Vice City gets.

  It’s the

  ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣＳ

  people love the 80s retro shit, especially back then, 20 years after the 80s.

  I like how it looked. And to me it was and is game with perfect sized map and story lenght.

  Nothing feels like its too far to travel at any time, but the map is large enough to feel like city. But small enough that you can learn it.

  With SA i always feel like im over the game when i get to the last island, but in vice city the story pacing feels so good and it never outlasts its welcome.

  I feel like newer rock star games are just too large to complete fully and keep your intrests, but Vice City hit the sweet spot where you could complete the game without getting tired of it and after short break you could start a new playtrough. I loved gta 5, but after playing seemingly all content it had it took years and few rereleases for me to pick it up again, but VC was a game i played trough twice or trice a year for a long time.

  There’s really only 1 RC Helicopter mission in VC. And IMO the RC Plane mission is much harder. In general, there’s a lot of jank in VC, but the vibes are unbeatable. I agree, SA is the better game hands down, while VC is a better experience.
