What was it like playing this game for the first time in late 2001?

i saw my older cousin playing it. he shot someone's head off with a sniper and I saw the volcano eruption of blood and i was like :OOOOOOO. then i walked away because it wasnt something i should be watching

Truly game changing (no pun intended). I one masterstroke the idea of a fully available open world was right there for the taking. And not only that, I could singlehandedly determine my entire means of travel as well as what carnage I could do along the ways. It also provided a level of mission freedom that isn't even considered in most modern games.

GTA3 isn't perfect, and as someone that beat it recently it did a lot of things fucking wrong, but the basic package was timeless and remains timeless.

yeah no, its actually pretty bad, it was revolutionary but its just a prototype that laid the framework for the other games, there is nothing worth seeing in this game nowadays, the modern gta series started with vc in my opinion.

Mario 64 meets maybe Ratchet and Clank
we had a lot of racing games and alternative sport games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater were surging in this era and GameCube was still big. If you were a fucking weeb FF7 was your powerwank, true sports was still sports with FIFA, and we still had GameBoys
