"I now hate GTA3"

As some of you may have already heard from me, or know from personal experience, is that GTA3 often crashes. Fly the Dod too far from Liberty City, and it'll crash. Recently, it has crashed on me a lot. The latest, and last crashing incident that will ever happen was about 20 minutes ago. The game crashed as usual. Guess when it crashed. Go, on guess, humour me. OK, I'll tell you. It crashed while it was saving. "Oh dear" I hear you think. Yes, Oh dear is the correct terminology, since it messed up my memory card and all the saves on it. Now after being 're-formatted', it works again, but minus all my saved games. This is so frustrating, since I had only today finished GTA3 and started to collect the remaining hidden packages. Not only that, but I tried to e-mail customer support. Note the key word, tried. There isn't a customer support e-mail address in the manual, on the box or on the GTA3 website. In fact, it was only by fluke that I found an address to e-mail at all. Sifting throught the rubbish on the DMA design website, I found the press release e-mail. So I e-mailed there, outlining my blinding rage. And so you have it folks, I now hate GTA 3, and Rockstar are my most despised publishers.

GTA3 is the best game in the world i think at the moment.

I am even tempted to buy a PS2 just to play it.

Ahhhhhhh

its would take me about 3-4 mounths to save up enough to buy one.

Tempted...

GTA3 has never crashed on me yet, its had its weird graphic glitches for a second or 2 here and there, but its always gone back to the game rather than completely fizzed out on me.

i still love the game no matter what.

Isn't it funny when a game crashes (not 'ha ha' funny) and you just sit there for about 5 minutes just waiting for some miricle to happen and the game to continue when it's obvious to everything but the part of your brain with hope in it that it's dead and you'll have to press the little reset button.

No. I'll just sit here a little longer.
I will not press the button.
No.
No.
No.
That's what it wants me to do.
But no, I won't.
No.
No.
Oh,what the hell.
Start again.

And it would have been better if you just re-started it straight away and get on with it.

Thats bad. I've only had GTA3 crash once, when I was in near the end of a mission. Wonder why yours crashes all the time.

*drinks half pint, half pint shuts up*

Not really, but I see how annoying that must be.

I allways hated GTA3. I just dont like killing people in cars.

Heh, never crashed on me.

hehehehehehehehehehehehe

all the problems shud be sorted when the Pc version comes out....

It's understandable that the game would crash if you went to far - there would hardly be another world or something past the cliffs. Also, if you land in buildings (inside) then you are put outside again.

So, you've lost your other saves but that will give you an incentive to play them again, rather than wasting your money on some crap impulse buy.
