Hello, having started playing GTA 4 again recently I have come over feeling all nostalgic, and ended up playing GTA Vice City also, which has bought back a lot of fond memories smile

I know theres some other old threads specific to GTA 4, GTA V etc, but I thought it would be nice to have a thread where people can share memories for all things Grand Theft Auto, from the original to the more recent games.

Also clogging up the Internet Meme thread might also have something to do with it. hehe

So everyone, what are your fondest GTA moments?

I think my best moment was when I was on GTA VC and I first managed to get hold of the minigun. I then made my way in my bashed up Kaufman cab to the Malibu Club, walked inside, and let the minigun rip.

The blood. The screams. The breasts.

Marvellous.

First GTA I ever played was Vice City. Got it as part of the bundle when I got my first console (a PS2) in 2004. Crikey so I was about 10 when I first played Grand Theft Auto. Brilliant game. Can't wait for GTA V. Depending on when it comes out I might be able to buy it legally hehe
From looking at your posts and your car I assumed you were older than 18 hehe

Start off in a fast and/or heavy car at the car park, drive down the steps and start mowing those peds down! I have to stay I do enjoy running people over more on GTA4 compared to the other ones due to the improved graphics and the different ways that people crumple and collapse when you hit them. evil
I know the area you mean biggrin

I think the noise the pedestrians make as they bounce off your car is brilliant, and adds to the sadistic fun.

One thing I used to enjoy doing on GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas was putting in the cheats "Pedestrians Riot" and "Pedestrians have Guns", it was like wandering round a war zone!
Indeed! I accidently saved the game with this cheat mode still on, and I couldn't turn it off. So I remember trying to progress through the rest of the game trying to put up with it hehe


I think GTA VC was my favourite of the bunch, however GTA3 had the most impact when I first played it. I must have been 11 or 12 when my mate first got hold of it, and he had the PS2 and I didn't. I still remember that moment where it dawned on me that I could do anything I wanted in this new glossy 3d world. Until my mate pulled the controller off me biggrin

I didn't realise for ages that it was a British made game too. Would be awesome if they did GTA London in 3d or something, but doubt it will happen. I know it has been tried before with "The Getaway" but that wasn't very good.

You'd get a guilty pleasure driving to work whilst playing one of those CDs, imagining white and green police cars behind you!

I seriously hope GTA V is a beefed up version of San Andreas.

My guilty pleasure in GTA IV is getting a cop car/ambulance/fire engine and racing to a random location across the city with the sirens on without smashing anything up.
I say good Sir, you are doing this all wrong.. hehe

Just started playing 4 again.

Do i kill Dwayne this time? Or Playboy X again? Don't suppose you get a penthouse appartment for killing Dwayne.
Kill Playboy X. You get nothing but some money if you kill Dwayne, Playboy X disappears so he doesn't even become someone on your phone.

I might buy BOGT now, I have never played it at all or read up on it. But I didn't really like the GTA4 story and people on here have only said good things about BOGT, so I feel like it is worth a shot.

I am. Couple of others on this thread are too.
Would be good to have a GTA4 bash, I spend most my time on live being crashed into by French people on Forza. -sigh-
