The game that changed gaming ever, the biggest impact in gaming till GTA 5. And although it hasn't aged in about almost every aspect. The world, atmosphere, charm, nuanced and colorful characters are timeless. And even the gameplay being dated, it's more than fun and surprisingly brutal. Limbs fall off and heads can be popped. I'm sure the pearl clutchers had a fit back then.

Claude for example, so much character for a mute character. The ending to this game shows that. Dude was fed up lol.

and ofc my 2nd fav character in the entire series, Donald Love. Holy god this fucking guy is the personification of intelligent, suave and cunning. Only Lex Luthor could mentor him.

Voiced by the lead in Twin Peaks, no joke, we have a mysterious businessman who asks to be his errand boy and do a set of missions that imply he's preparing for something, what that is? Well you never know because once you've done everything he asked... i won't spoil it. But once you realize what just happened... it's fucking INCREDIBLE. I was in awe, and this isn't even the main quest. This proved since the beginning Rockstar creative genius has been apparrent. And since Donald Love has been referenced in every GTA, and you can see easter eggs of him in 4 and 5. There's a background and tidbits behind the dude that's not plentiful but more than enough given the substance he has. Brilliant man.

Basically this review is a Donald Love fanboy post. But it's seriously worrying how overlooked he is. I hope he's in 6.
