  1. I'm expecting GTAO and the single player will eventually break into entirely different series'. Everything about this game is pointing in that direction. EDIT: What the hell?
  2. It says that I can do a mission as Frankie, but there are no spots on the map? Can somebody help with this?
  3. You do know you can just reload a manual save and finish the game again from there? ...You did remember to manual/quick save towards the end, didn't you? I only have one save file, so I'm screwed.
  4. I can't believe I have to restart the game because of This pisses me off royally, I want a patch right fucking now.
  5. When your car gets blown up, be sure to blow up with it, this way, you can pick it up from the impound lot. Retarded, I know.
  6. Buy betapharmacuticals and keep them until the end of the game. You can thank me later.
  7. That side mission gave me Saints Row the Third flashbacks. This really hindered my enjoyment of the mission
  8. I see many people complaining about there being two indie stations. Since I mostly listen to indie, I was kinda excited about these stations. Then the radio list leaked. It's like they cherry-picked all of the worst indie bands. No Flaming Lips, no Wilco, no Neutral Milk Hotel, just a bunch of wankery. The indie stations were my biggest disappointment in the game so far. That is, besides one of the endings.
  9. I'm also disappointed by the bumper car physics, but not enough to cancel my preorder.
  10. I just preordered the special edition from the last place that had it in stock, gamestop's online shop. I chose overnight shipping, so I should get it on release day, right?
  11. Actually, it was probably given to itunes on september 1st, but hasn't gone public until now. That's how it usually happens.
  12. The time travelling article is the worst one yet. So awful.
  13. This pushes Shenmue into the third slot, correct?
  14. with spelling like his i can't even read what he says let alone give a shit... Come on now, he's a pretty cool dude.
  15. Well said. And it would be great if there were more real consequences in GTA ( as well as more RPG elements ). This would only immerse you more into it's world. Also I couldn't agree more with this statement. It reminded me of the old FPS games I played in the 90's ( before COD ). I remember playing the old "Medal Of Honor" games on the 'PS1' ( and Goldeneye on the '64' ), and having multiple ways of going about the objectives I.E. Multiple paths and multiple ways of approaching the enemy ( "Stealthily" or the "All Guns Blazing" approach ). It also let you infiltrate enemy bases using a disguise and a fake I.D. Plus you could find higher level clearances for different areas in the game, and if you didn't have the right papers to be in an area, the guards would run and set off an alarm, sending waves of tough enemies at you from multiple directions ( you could also disable the alarms yourself ). Plus the enemy AI had half a brain and put up a decent challenge ( shooting Nazi Helmets off was fun with the great sound design "PING!"/ And then him looking around all surprised to see where the bullet came from/ and then screaming in German at you when you're seen ). ( there was even a level in a German Castle where some of the Knights Armour ( decorating the place ) actually had people in them, and they would attack you once your back was turned ( making a heavy metallic sound as they charged at you/ they could kill you pretty quickly as well/ which made the level even more exhilarating ). Where did great original ideas like these go? Then I compare this too the crappy Call Of Duty's that we have today. Where the Single Player is a linear corridor with no alternate routes, and dumb generic AI enemies ( who are no challenge at all/ even on higher difficulties ). And the same shoot these guys/ blow this thing up gameplay, and I think how has FPS gameplay degenerated this badly? In the end you're just sitting through a boring B Grade Action Movie. But there are still plenty of great open-ended games like Fallout 3/ New Vegas, MGS 3/4, the GTA series, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 1/2/3, The Elder Scrolls Series, Far Cry 2/3, and the Batman Arkham games ( to an extent ). Or great games that even though they're linear still have great gameplay and tell a great story, like Uncharted 1/2/3, Bioshock 1/2/3, Max Payne 1/2/3, The Last Of Us, Portal 1/2, Hal Life 2 etc Many stealth games use the "you can do it smart or charge in guns ablazing approach." Also, linearity isn't a bad thing at all, in my book.
  16. Rum is the only correct answer to this question. Rum and Coke is fucking delicious.
  17. To be honest, I stopped reading reviews when my favorite game of all time got an average of 63 on metacritic. I'll buy the game regardless, even if it somehow is worse than all of the other GTA's.
  18. Katrina might work, but anybody who has that name is immediately associated with hurricanes... so it's perfect for Trevor!
