The game that would change everything: Grand Theft Auto 3. As I enter his room I see it, a third-person game with a sandbox environment. I still remember having my mind blown away as my character leapt out of a stolen taxi cab that ran over several pedestrians as it rocketed into the water.įast forward a few years and I’m heading over to a friend’s for a visit. I remember us doing what so many groups of friends would end up doing for decades to come as we each took turns causing as much chaos as we could before our inevitable death at the hands of the police.
My buddy Dave had installed a demo of the original top-down Grand Theft Auto onto one of the PCs in our English class. The first time I ever laid eyes on the GTA series was in high school. My First Time and My Third Time - Blake Morse, Resident Old
But, I'll never forget taking turns with my college roommates and all of us getting more and more drunk as we tried to figure this stupid mission out.Īll the while, Big Smoke and his Stormtrooper aim kept yelling at us with "All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!"
This mission sucked for a multitude of reasons: Big Smoke having terrible aim, the oncoming train coming from the other track, the horrid driving controls, and a few other things I'm forgetting about. "Follow the Wrong Tracks" got the idea to have CJ follow a moving train so that Big Smoke could shoot at four gang members. If you've played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, you remember this stupid mission. And, of the Grand Theft Auto that I have played, there hasn't been a lot of it that's stuck out… with one very noteworthy exception. "All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!" - Ozzie Mejia, More of a Saints Row guyĪlright, so this is the moment where I make my shameful confession that I haven't played a lot of Grand Theft Auto. The wide open space coupled with all of the different aircrafts and vehicles available made it one of my favorite locations to screw around in. We would hijack planes, blow each other up, and ram cars into each other at full speed. The airport in those GTA games was just a breeding ground for utter chaos. One of our favorite locations on either map was the airport. Of the hundreds of hours I’ve put into GTA 4 and GTA 5, the vast majority of it was spent online with friends, causing chaos and chasing each other around Liberty City and Los Santos. Question: What is your favorite memory from the Grand Theft Auto franchise?Īirport shenanigans - Donovan Erskine, Fan of chaos With all that in mind, we decided to look back on our favorite memories from the Grand Theft Auto franchise. In addition to getting release dates for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, GTA 3 celebrates its 20th anniversary today.
