I find it quite fun to cause chaos in free roam, driving down sidewalks crashing through lampposts, dustbins, traffic lights and running people over with no consequences, then hearing my partner's response to it all. The funniest was Roy Earle when he said something like "that was a taxpaying citizen who just bounced over the fucking hood Phelps!" I cracked up at that one. In other news, finished all the street crimes (in free roam mode in between my chaos-causing sessions.) And also, now that i've completed the game i'd like to offer my thoughts; seeing as how this is strictly a single-player, narrative driven game I feel the length of it is just too short, it should have been twice as long, I was just getting into the homicide cases when they ended (i'd have liked to have seen more variety in the homicide cases too, not all women related to the BD killings) and after that vice seemed much shorter. To me it seemed about the same amount of time to complete as RDR, which had lots of other things to do outside of missions, including multiplayer. This however has nothing else to do outside of missions except for street crimes and collecting film reels, so it relies more heavily on a lengthy story to make up for those shortcomings. As I said a long time ago, I think RDR is better than this game. Don't get me wrong, it's a great and very unique game though.

I enjoyed poking at dead negroes. It was fun.

Completed it, guess i'll have to go for another playthrough now i've got the jist of it and sort of know who to charge.

I completed the game last night and in doing so discovered my first film reel in the old shack owned by the flamethrower guy. Are they just scattered around the city because that's the first one i've collected.

Only glitch i've noticed is some interior parts take a while to load during cutscenes, and when a character walks past the missing texture piece or if the camera pans round you get a blue hell like you do when you fall below the map in GTA, with the image of the character or other texture pieces superimposed on the blank background.

So what are the point of the hidden cars? I mean if you take them do you automatically get to keep it as your own car that spawns outside the station? Do they have sirens? I haven't even bothered taking one as I thought it would be stealing, and that'd be wrong y'know. I'm halfway through the vice desk at the mo', but I think homicide would've been better as the last desk.

Turn up the TV or get a hearing aid and stop ur bitching. WHAT?!!! SPEAK UP DEAR!!

I never even realised deaf people play video games, does that go for gay people too? I can see developers implementing gay-friendly alternate mission endings - instead of killing everyone, you are required to redecorate the place in a kitsch style, throw scatter cushions and potpourri around and then dance to some Scandinavian techno music while strobe lights pulsate and semi-naked moustachioed men dance around you gyrating their hips suggestively.

Is there a saying "one in the arse is worth two in the bush." or am I making that up?

The 5 golden rules of the house: 1. Be a dick (especially to Pieface since he's a kinky submissive bitch into BDSM.) 2. Wave your dick around and rub your crotch in peoples faces as a sign of affection. 3. Three fingers up the anal sphincter is the standard greeting. 4. Watch out for QD's penis. 5. Same goes for D-O's basement.

Lol! Cheeky bastards, it means they don't have to fill their bin up by throwing it away. Instead they let you "win" it and get you to dispose of it for them. I bet the person who was 8th in line won the cardboard outer boxes the games were shipped in.

Well woo. I wonder if anyone preordered under the misapprehension that 'the Naked City' was a cheat code that removed everyone's clothes.

*smug look*

I agree there should be basic modding capabilities available for cars in the next GTA, but nothing too extreme. If it gets too complicated and time consuming it would detract from the rest of the game, we don't need a GT5-esque system that allows you to change the camber angle of the wheels or the damper setting. Engines shouldn't have indefinite modding options too, maybe - as already mentioned - use the Mafia II system of having three upgrade stages for engines, or possibly three unique engine upgrades for each vehicle type. In retrospect i'm surprised there wasn't at least some modding present in GTA IV, it would've been perfect for Brucie's garage to function that way. and I probably would've made more of an effort to befriend him if I knew i'd get some nice modded vehicles in return. It really depends on the setting of the next GTA game, if it's set in a previous decade I wouldn't expect modding to be present, if however it is a contemporary setting we might get lucky.

"edinnaemekennaeduffranceaye" = It doesn't/won't make any difference, aye? Plus I got a couple of name drops in there too, but only Mek and Duff. :\

I keep meaning to berate you for your awful use of English but then I realised you're Scottish anyway so "edinnaemekennaeduffranceaye". Most RTS games should run on an average PC fairly well. I don't even know what graphics card I have, i'm pretty sure it's an Nvidia 512MB... something with a 7 (7000 series or am I making that up?) on it I seem to remember, I have 4GB of RAM I know that. But yeah I play RTS games - although not so much nowadays - I think the newest one I played was AoE III, and that ran fine. What sort of RTS games are we talking about here?

That's what we did. If you ignore him he goes away - like that STD QD reassured me about... no wait actually if you ignore him he comes back twice as bad next time, I think I got confused for a moment there.

Seems that way, good luck to him I say. Of course it already occurred to those of us blessed with the power of cognitive thought that Marney is just doing it intentionally to lure us into a trap and/or a flame war for lols. And we all saw through his cheap, string vest of a scouse disguise. Marney, your intentions are flagrant, FLAGRANT I SAY! AND I SHANT BE PARTY TO THEM, YOU HEAR ME YOU DEVILISH CHAP!

Isn't this only 10 days away now? When is the release date, 23rd? I guarantee I will completely forget about pre-ordering it until the moment it gets delivered, then i'll be all excited and have to rape the postman.

It still isn't back up? Ahahahahaha!

Lol.

I'm sure the novelty would soon wear off.

Well RDR was slightly bigger than SA I believe, that Burnout one looks wrong judging by the size of the roads, they look far too large (look at the boats at the bottom of the map.) I think D-O would've loved an official L.A. Noire fedora. Pity.

I SMITE THEE WITH MY GLORIOUS HANDBAG! BOW DOWN BEFORE IT! Oh and: "Yo dawg we heard you like fabricating stories so we put a fabricated story in yo' story so you can spread propaganda and lies while pretending to tell the truth and watch the conspiracy nuts jack off to yo' news bro."

Just felt like quoting myself here:
