going to be amazing. But got a sol fed meeting tonight, so hours wasted. sad

29 April, 2008 - 15:04

Makes me wish I had a 360 or PS3. Anyone know when its coming out for PC?

29 April, 2008 - 15:15

gaming on pc's is for fucking nerds, it didn't become acceptable in the 90s like consoles. It's got a social acceptability roughly akin to train spotting or collecting stamps.

Just got into the missions on this. Great game. I got arrested on the way to my girlfriend's appartment for cutting out in front of a cop car. Was so excited too. Damn life.

29 April, 2008 - 17:06

yeah i been playing it all afternoon. maaaaan it's good. san andreas was pretty much my favourite game ever, but this is ridiculously better.

the classic hip-hop station is dope but i swear the loop's too short. i've heard that one gang starr song from step in the arena at least 6 times today. but it's really good 'cos they've actually got dj premier doing a proper mix rather than just choosing some tracks for him to talk crap over. haha the classic hip-hop dj on san andreas (played by chuck d) was better though.

I'm so glad I don't play computer games; I'd have even less of a life.

29 April, 2008 - 17:17

what do you mean you 'don't play' them? all i ever hear on this board is about you beating revol on pro evo.

29 April, 2008 - 17:38

yeah that's the only one

29 April, 2008 - 17:49

this season's fifa was better than pro evo i reckon. it had so many annoying fucking mistakes and shit in it, and just things they'd forgotten to put in, but the engine was so good that it outweighed the bad (best and worst recent football game, no doubt). hopefully they can sort that shit out for the next one.

FIFA's EURO 2008 spin-off is miles better than PES 2008 (not hard) - best football sim since Pro Evo 3 or 4. Can't wait for FIFA 09, though I hope I Pro Evo turns it around.

GTA is ridiculous. I just got Niko to arrange a date with his girlfriend, then missed it, so arranged a game of pool with his brother and took the girl down there. Bro wasn't there and quit the game of pool which led to a moody car ride home. Then outside her house it says "Try your luck?" or "Say goodbye?". So I "tried my luck" and got a shag on the second date. There was no nudity, disappointingly. I have no life.

29 April, 2008 - 18:04

i got a shag on the first date YO. STEP YOUR GAME UP. the fact you can drink drive is brilliant too, haha.

yeah i played a demo of the euro one, seemed good. i don't think i'll bother getting it though, seems a waste of money getting another football game already. and i won't need any other games for a while after getting this no doubt!

29 April, 2008 - 18:39

Aye, good point!

29 April, 2008 - 18:56

2 hours in, good shit so far.

This is going to be the shittest meeting ever.

I've got no problem with that tongue I do have a PS2 though, although I can't remember the last time I used it...

It's fun but too many fuckin cutscenes! It's like 5 minutes of play then 5 minutes of cutscene the whole game so far

1 May, 2008 - 02:04

are the cutscenes any good? gamers rave over some terrible crap sometimes, story-wise (ie: all the Metal Gear Solid games), hopefully a commie will have a better opinion?

2 May, 2008 - 13:10

the cutscenes are fine, i thought they'd all been pretty well acted to be honest.

this game's too good though. the amount of stuff they've put in here is crazy. from the satirical tv shows you can ACTUALLY watch (history of liberty city's hilarious) to going out and getting drunk with your mates and driving them home. they've actually managed to make the side missions, such as collecting cars and having a girlfriend, fun. i'd never really care about that stuff before.

also, the fact you can choose on missions whether or not to kill someone, or that one mission where you have to choose which out of two people you're gonna kill, means that going back and redoing shit's gonna be dope too.

... this is pretty much all i've been doing for the past few days.

Backing that. I lost so many hours to Total War and every single Tony Hawk game. I could have spent that time actually skateboarding or forming real life phalanxes and marching on Rome.

Well, I'm going up to my parents tonight and my bro's just bought GTA4 so it looks like I'll be getting my first taste if this debauchery. Man, I'm going to start so many fights in this game.

5 May, 2008 - 19:45

anyone want to buy me a copy? i'll need a ps3 too. please? pretty please? we can be bffs... i'll write regular posts praising your intellect and penis size and put kisses at the end of every one!

5 May, 2008 - 19:46

double post..

5 May, 2008 - 19:46

ps - i am serious btw - buy me presents.

5 May, 2008 - 19:57

or at least send me a working ps2 that you dont play anymore because ours is very very broken.

5 May, 2008 - 20:01

arf, have you been drinking?

5 May, 2008 - 20:12

no, why do you say that? ive been eyeing up the gta4 site and sighing. my mate was talking about it yesterday, telling me how great it was, and im all jealous and excited*. ive not even had a go on a wii yet, its not fair. times like this i wish i was still living on my own and working at EB. its not fair! i want games! waaah!

please donate to my ps3 fund, try and see it as support for the poor or something. or yeh, send me a working ps2, i dont need controllers, just the console.. i'll be able to play old games through again, it will be like visiting an old friend..

* although obviously i still live in hope that one day the main character will be a woman.. the map on the site doesnt even reference a single female character, not even a happy hooker or a gang boss's sister/daughter. they should so do a female main character version of gta, i dont know why they haven't yet, it seems so obvious.

Tits or gtfo.

My brother bought it so me and my other bro were having a go. He got a knife at the start so he said "i'm going to stab the first person i see" - it was some old woman waiting for a bus, so he just walked up and stabbed her in the throat, then repeatedly stabbed her as she fell to the pavement. Then he walked off and stole a car.

I was pissing myself.

i hope a girl buys you it, just for this.

6 May, 2008 - 00:04

6 May, 2008 - 00:25

they're all too busy playing gta4 to post here sad
