    That is why I will be buying the Xbox One. Where do I start with this ignorant bullshit. O.K. there is nothing ground-breaking about the Xbox One. Everything that it can do, some other entertainment device can do the exact same thing. You said that the PS3 took the Safe Path and offered very little innovation, while the Xbox had innovative software. This is not true at all, in fact it's the exact opposite of how it is in reality. Here I will show you the differences in Innovation between the Xbox 360 and PS3 ~ ~ The Xbox 360 was the less Powerful of the two Systems ( and therefore held the PS3 back from achieving it's full potential with 3rd party games ). ~ Microsoft decided that HD DVD was the future and installed that into the Xbox 360 ( with multiple disks for bigger games and having to switch between them mid-game). Whereas Sony decided to install a new technology ( a Blu-Ray Drive ) into it's PS3, this made sure that no matter how big the game was, it would always fit onto the one disk. It's also funny that Microsoft have decided to install a Blu Ray Drive into their new system, the Xbox One. Wonder why? Could it be perhaps that Blu Ray was the ultimate form of media to transfer games onto. Either way this so called innovative Company is a bit late too the party. A least it made the Xbox much cheaper, so that all the casuals could pretend that they had the best system ( and the only one that they could afford ). The PS3 meanwhile was one of the cheapest Blu Ray Players on the Market, yet still had a hard first couple of years with sales. People are pretty backwards. ~ The Xbox 360 has a controller that needs batteries from an external source in order to operate ( and which need to be taken out in order to recharge/ or new batteries need to be bought ), whereas the PS3 has a built in battery pack which is rechargeable via a USB Cable. How very innovative of Microsoft? ~ The PS3 has about 5 times more exclusive games than the Xbox 360, For Instance ~ Xbox ~ Halo Series ~ Forza Series ~ Gears Of War Series ~ Alan Wake ~ Banjo Kazooie ~ Crackdown ~ Dead Or Alive ~ Dead Rising 1 ~ Fable Series ~ All the Kinect Crap PlayStation 3 ~ Uncharted Series ~ Demon Souls ~ Infamous Series ~ Killzone Series ~ Heavy Rain ~ God Of War Series ~ Gran Turismo Series ~ Resistance Series ~ Ico & Shadow of the Colossus HD ( Great Games ) ~ Journey ~ Little Big Planet ~ MAG ~ Metal Gear Solid Series ~ MotorStorm Series ~ Ratchet & Clank Series ~ Starhawk & Warhawk ~ Twisted Metal ~ PixelJunk Shooter Series ~ The Last Of Us ( Which is about to come out ) ~ Beyond Two Souls ( which is also coming out soon ) ~ Dust 514 ( also coming soon ) ~ and many more/ but these are some of the best... ~ Another innovation by Microsoft was the Ability to pay to play online ( and even more with Xbox Live Gold! ). Whereas Sony introduced PlayStation Plus, where you get around 20 free games a year, plus early betas and demos, along with big discounts on already heavily discounted PSN Prices for other products. For instance on the European PS Plus ( Which is the Australian one as well ) I have gotten for free ~ Dead Nation ~ Red Dead Redemption ~ Vanquish ~ Sleeping Dogs ~ Uncharted Golden Abyss ( PSP ) ~ Little Big Planet 2 ~ Bioshock 2 ~ Demon Souls ~ Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition ~ Infamous 2 ~ Just Cause 2 ~ Darksiders ~ Saints Row 2 ~ Spec Ops: The Line ~ Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One ~ Warhammer: 40000 Space Marine ~ The Walking Dead Episodes 1 & 2 ~ Virtua Fighter 5 ~ Mega Man 9 & 10 ~ Starhawk ~ Gravity Rush ~ Wipeout 2048 ~ Disegea 3 ~ etc etc... I don't understand why anyone can still support Microsoft over Sony. Sony has given us a better system, with better games, and with better deals. But I guess you can't teach an old Fanboy new tricks... Fair enough.

    Don't compare something made of the highest quality ( a Swiss Army Knife ) with a Casual gamer Shitbox. The PS4 is more comparable to something made by the Swiss.

    We'll find out the size of the map on September 17, so all of this procrastination is kind of pointless and slightly boring. I've had enough for a while, see ya........

    I think they were talking about all of GTA V's Game world ( including the countryside/underwater areas ), and not just the City. Also who wrote the words on the Map? A 4 year old? And Pleasure Pier either looks like an Ice Cream Cone or a Deformed Cock & Balls.
  5. BlackSox9
    HAHAHA!!! Nah, you guys are alright. You're kind of like our Retarded Cousins or something...

    With Bestial Undertones... That's why our lamb is the best in the world - we pound them until tender and flowing with juice... You should also look up the other meanings of the word Bestial, because they also apply to New Zealand.

    LA Noire's map was too big because there was nothing to do in it. And each new Case or Clue usually meant a long boring drive to a location on the other side of Town. Aside from all this, LA Noire was still a great and ambitious game.
  8. BlackSox9
    I think that you're forgetting just how big Liberty City was ~

    I haven't posted here yet for some reason. And it looks like you guys have covered everything ( plus the kitchen sink ), so I'll just add some of the more unique weapons that I would like to see. Yes I know most aren't guns... ~ Harpoon Gun ( for Underwater Combat ) ~ Flare Gun or Flame Thrower ( for starting fires ) ~ Tools ( like from Vice City, such as Hammers/ Screwdrivers/ Shovels/ Axes/ Hatchets/ Nail Guns etc ) ~ Taser/ Mace ( Get them from the police station, could be fun using against Peds ) ~ Throwing Knives/ Shuriken ( for the inner Ninja in you ) ~ Heavy duty Melee weapons ( like the Katana/ Chainsaw/ Top Secret Energy Sword found in the Military Base ) ~ Hunting Bow/ Crossbow with different types of arrow heads ( Normal/ Incendiary/ Explosive ) ~ Bladed Boomerang that comes back to you after targeting someone ( like in Mad Max 2/ Road Warrior, or Rage ) ~ Different types of Hand Grenades ( Fragmentation/ Stun/ Smoke/ Incendiary/ Satchel Charges ) ~ Blow Pipes ( with poison tipped darts ) ~ Medieval weapons ( like Flails or Maces ) ~ Bull Whips ~ Anti-Tank/ Anti-Material Rifles ~ Multi Barrel Grenade Launchers that can fire Frag, Smoke and Tear Gas rounds ~ Different types of Missile Launchers ( that can lock onto either land or air based vehicles, or with free aim like an RPG7 )

    You can never have too many properties...
  12. BlackSox9
    That Gamestop exclusive is probably just for MUrica! There will almost definitely be Collector's Editions sold all around the world.
  13. BlackSox9
    I doubt that they're just cheats to get the cars/weapons early. The cars/bike and weapons are almost definitely exclusive to the Special Edition ( meaning that they won't be found at all in the Vanilla version of the game ).
  14. BlackSox9
    Maybe your problem is trying to climb something that's a foot tall, when you could just jump over it. Or maybe you could just shoot the idiot/s who are trying to kill you. Instead of running away from them like a pussy.
  15. BlackSox9
    I hope you're right...
  16. BlackSox9
    If you don't pre-order before the release date you don't get the features in the Special Edition ( Of course ). Although they might release the extra features from the Special Editions as a form of DLC at some point further down the track.

    GTA V will end up being a lot more vertical than GTA lV or Red Dead Redemption, with there being mountains ( which didn't even exist in GTA lV ), and the ocean floor counting this time ( like Deep-Sea Trenches and the like ). This is what Rockstar was inferring when talking about GTA V's size ( very cleverly and cryptically, making it seem much larger than it actually was ). So even if Los Santos is smaller than Liberty City ( which it definitely is/ Rockstar even stated it ), GTA V's entire game world ( including the countryside and parts of the ocean ) will still end up having a lot more variation than GTA lV ever had ( when it comes to landscapes and unique locations ).

    Take a look at the size/width of the streets, they're about the same size on both maps...

    I would really love for there to be virtual reality in gaming. But in reality it probably won't happen in either of our lifetimes. I think the increased power of the PS4 is important not only because of better graphics ( even though that is nice ), but because of what will be achievable on an open world level. It could mean a higher level of interaction within the environment ( more intractable objects/ more varied actions the player can make ) , and between the player and NPC's in that environment ( like better AI ). It could mean a whole new level of immersion, alongside the birth of new gameplay ideas. And even though this Generation of consoles might not be as big a jump graphically as the last one was. The increased power of the PS4 ( and X1 ) will be very important for what it could add to in-game world building.

    Compare Los Santos to Liberty City ~ I hope there is a lot more detail packed into Los Santos, because it is obviously smaller...
  21. BlackSox9
    Not too thrilled with some of the extra stuff in the Collectors Edition as well ( Hat/ Deposit Bag?? ). Where are the Michael/ Trevor/ Franklin Action Figures? Where's my Chop Dog Collar??? Kind of expected a little more from Rockstar.
  22. BlackSox9
    Just have to one up me don't you Dup. Looks good, thanks for finding a large HD version. Now I can clearly see the Hotrod, and the weapon that Michael is holding. Edit. Now I have a HD version as well HA...
  23. BlackSox9
    Looks like I'll be getting the Collectors Edition.
  24. BlackSox9
    I wonder what the Multiplayer Khamelion Electric Car will look like?...
  25. BlackSox9
    To be fair I thought the same thing about Liberty City when I first saw it's map, but when I played it it felt much larger in-game when you're actually driving around the streets. I'm sure it'll be the same here too. I hope so too.
