It was the way it felt at times to just exist in its world, when you weren’t playing a mission or trying to see how long you could evade the cops.

Here’s the moment I remember most from all the hours I spent playing GTA III: I was driving around some desolate part of town at night, feeling the isolation of the city.

I love the moody, haunting sound of “Fade Away” so much, and always felt that it perfectly accentuated the deep sadness that permeates Liberty City.

Part of what makes Liberty City feel so tragic is that it offers no real hope of something better, and as Claude, you have no way out.

Reading the comments on the video above, I find other players who were also deeply affected by the experience of hearing this song while just existing in Liberty City.

Sometimes I would park by the ship on the pier and watch the waves rise and fall.” Another says, “There’s just nothing like listening to this song while cruisin’ [in] the rain at night.”.

It’s a song that we associate with our memories of just being in the world, just driving around, just watching the waves rise and fall.

Never before had I played a game in which such moments of beauty could just spring into being quite like that.

We’re often invited to just take the moment in, to enjoy an in-game radio station in an open-world action game, or to sit for a bit and soak in the atmosphere of a particular place in games like Life Is Strange

One of my favorite things to do in a game is to stop playing and just be, absorbing the distinctive feeling and atmosphere of it for a little while

Because of those qualities, one of the most thrilling things about playing it was that experience when all the elements came together to create a beautiful moment; one that made you glad, for a little while, to simply exist in its world
