"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.

From a very angry and distressed Half Pint.

At least the PC version will have patches to fix this sort of thing. With consoles, once the game has gone gold, that's it. Unless they do a recall, and we all know how likely that is!

Now i wasn't going to say it but i will:

NINTENDO TOLD YOU SO!

They said CD's were no good but nooo they hold more games, their cheaper, their easier to work on etc.... etc....

WELL NOW LOOK! If this was Perfect Dark and my memory card cocked up thank god i have it saved to the game, if the game messes up oh wow i've lost one saved file... bad but at least its not all of them...

*Dringo goes and plays on his Dreamcast*

My GTA III hasn't yet crashed, although I anticipate it. One bad point about me having it, is that I don't have a memory card just now.

*gasp*

Neither has mine, but you've just made me pretty worried. I hope mine doesnt crash while saving too. Unlucky :-( .

Mine hasn't crashed at all yet. Hopefully it won't ever crash.

*crosses fingers*

I thought my crash was bad.

For the first time ever, my GTA crashed today. I had been playing it for around 2 hours (without saving), found around 10 packages, did around 20 taxi fares, and (without cheating) managed to get a tank and enforcer in my garage. Then I went to save it. I was past the garage, literally feet away from the save point when it crashed. I was incredibly annoyed and thought 'why couldn't I have just got to the save point a few minutes earlier'. I suppose it could be better that it crashed where it did, as if I had got to save it and then it crashed, ruining everything on my memory card, I probably would have refused to play it ever again!

Oh and at least I can't crash it whilst flying the dodo since the longest I've ever flown for is 7 seconds! :-D

Why don't you use a cheat to complete these games again? Seeing as you have already compleated it, there is an excuse to cheat.

I am tired of getting games that screw up when you do something right.

is case anyone elses game crashes,
can you please give us the e-mail address so we can contact the company and display our hatred towards them
