GTA:IV-ever
April 28th 2008, 21:28 CEST by CheesyPoof Talk, play, bitch, whatever. The game is getting A+'s and 10/10 all over the place, including the tight wads at EuroGamer. We must also strike while the iron is hot to organize any PC play sessions, 360 only, sorry Bob. And doubly sorry to PC only gamers (sorry Dum). |

Why do you hate black people Format? What? "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth is a terrible, terrible game. There is no sane reason for you to even attempt to play it. Even Shadow of the Comet & Prisoner of the Ice vastly outclass that piece of garbage. #10 - Why not both come out of a window?
|

Ugh Prisoner of Ice was horrible. I've had a look at Shadow of the comet but I was a bit lost. I'll give it another try when I get a holf of the manual. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Funny. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

Last night I had the choice between GTA:IV and The Witcher, I chose The Witcher. I didn't play much though, still in the prologue, but that's a PC game if there ever was one. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Hold off on The Witcher for a bit. A big patch is coming very soon that's supposed to add a lot of extra content and new dialogue. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

You have a sig quote taken from QT3. Have you no decency? - words and stuff -

Hard to say. I do know that I notice things way, way earlier than you do, though. I mean like 8 months or so earlier. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

Maybe this is a burning resentment that's required me to get to a certain level of drunkeness before I confront you. - words and stuff -

It isn't, of course. I really have only just noticed that. - words and stuff -

Maybe this is a burning resentment that's required me to get to a certain level of drunkeness before I confront you. I must admit; I burst out laughing when I read this. Well done! Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

bago (#1009): That was pretty good. Marsh Davies (#1014): Maybe this is a burning resentment that's required me to get to a certain level of drunkeness before I confront you. This was better. Does it get much better than pretentious drunkenness? "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

The missions in GTA continue to bore me. I thought that a weekend away would perk up my interest in it, but last night I felt no compulsion to play it. I eventually did to find myself in yet another abandoned warehouse using the cover mechanic to kill multiple enemies to get item x (car/money/drugs) and then fleeing from a (gang and/or 2/3 star wanted level). I find myself longing for the missions where I have to pick up 12 hookers in 10 minutes and take them to the policeman's ball, or knock over 8 espresso stands, or something that doesn't involve a load of scripting or my 'friends' bothering the fuck out of me. I didn't think it possible, but the friends in IV are more annoying than having to eat in SA. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Sadly, cheesy, those missions do not exist. |
|
CheesyPoof (#1018): I didn't think it possible, but the friends in IV are more annoying than having to eat in SA. Yeah, I'm starting to think this too. If they would patch the game so I didn't have to keep people happy, I'd be happier. It'd be win win.

I haven't played in over a week now. Last time I played it Christy (who was often entertained by my exploits in SA and the Stories games) said, "This game sucks." Sorry, Rockstar. What you've given me is not as good as your previous product. Fail. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I don't know about all of that jazz. The multiplayer and the fully fledged city alone put it past SA for me. I still catch myself driving around, just checking out the city, seeing all of the little details, etc. I didn't like SA that much at all. "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

The map in SA was much better. "If everybody has a very different story and a very different experience, then it's very personal and they were driving the story by playing the game. It's not a story that was being told to them in cut-scenes from the game designers' point of view." - Will Wright

The realism is exactly what Christy doesn't like. Instead of hurtling like a bat out of hell through somewhat cartoonish surroundings, I'm sitting through what she has deemed MGS3-level cutscenes. Maybe I'll come back to it once I'm done playing other, better games. She suggested Crackdown, since she enjoyed watching me play the demo. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I mixed on the map. Part of me likes it, but part of me thinks that, of all things, the less detailed maps of the last gen was better. It's cool be all "yea man, I'm driving in NY" (where's Shea Stadium?), but I don't know how much it adds to the gameplay. If I know it better maybe my mood will change, but right now I'm not getting much out of it. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

I guess the issue is that I don't really care how the scenery looks. I didn't buy it because I wanted a faux New York tourism sim. I want to be flying a million miles an hour down the road, running from the cops, blowing shit up. Crap, I'm turning into Bob. Graphics don't matter if the game isn't fun. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

If they would patch the game so I didn't have to keep people happy, I'd be happier. It'd be win win. Imagine me, if you will, sitting atop a giant throne built entirely out of PC cases. Now imagine me laughing with the force of a thousand cooling fans. MP3 Of The Week: hum a few bars and I'll fake it.

If only I could visualise such a scenario in comic form. |

Hmm, that gives me an idea... ... ... ...I'll see if I can beat my Minesweeper high score. MP3 Of The Week: hum a few bars and I'll fake it.

Spoilers, I guess, but does anyone care at this point? Speaking of GTA, I don't know if the scripting broke or what, but I had this mission yesterday for the Lt. to go to some project and take out a dealer. When I arrive at the project the Lt. tells me in a briefing that I should go up the stairs ASAP to avoid the gang members on the ground level. So, I get the bright idea to do one better and go as high as possible and snipe the fucker. Going up the stairs the gang members talk shit to me before one guy shoots me, but I show him a face full of buckshot and he doesn't say anything else. No one notices or there's no one to come at so I continue going up the stairs until I can't go any higher. I find a nice position that will give me a clear view of my target. I take out my sniper rifle and spot the guy. Blammo! I head shot him. He's still standing. He's not running away either. I don't think that anyone noticed my shooting. So, Blammo! again in the head. Same deal. He doesn't react and run and no one else notices me. Now I think that I have to go in cover and sneak up on him for some scripted chase scene. Anyway, I decided to try another shot and Blammo! he's dead. That was one tough guy to take 3 head shots. Now I have a 2 star wanted level and the gang members are shooting at me. I got onto the roof and call Kiki who gets rid of my stars. I guess the gang members are still active so I call Bruice to come pick me up, commando style*, but he parks two blocks over, totally useless. I guess the gang un-alerted because I walked down and no one said boo. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Imagine building an app that completely overwhelms your data center, and causes them to draw more power than the municipality has held them to. Imagine inappropriate calls in the morning asking which systems we could shut off because we spiked their power constraints. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

Just TRY to imagine being that awesome.* I don't think you can do it. "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

I wonder if you could accomplish that with a prime number generator if you made it shitty enough. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Cheesy, I'm impressed you were able to kill him like that at all, because if I remember correctly there was a scripted chase up the stairwell onto the roof before you could kill him if you did the mission normally. I'm way further in the game than you and the missions never really stop sucking but there's some side stuff that's more fun even though it's also needlessly scripted, like assassin missions and tracking down cars from text message photos. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

I suspect it I broke it, but yay! for that. Another thing that I hate is the construction they put in the two avenues that run alongside central park. Why the fuck can't I have one of them be a straight shot up and down the island? It's just a friggan speed bump in the map, and speed bumps ain't fun. My plan, if I can stomach it, is to focus on missions (as long as I can), and as long as they don't fuck things up, do all the fun stuff at the end. Annoying stuff like friends I'm forced to do for the bonuses. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

I look forward to seeing cheesy's take on the last mission. |

The cutscenes were the best part of MGS3. |

I just heard some kind of weird banging noise coming from the northwest, maybe Portlandish. Sounded like a skull cracking, then some sort of squishy gray matter exploding forth.

Shh, don't feed the troll. "If everybody has a very different story and a very different experience, then it's very personal and they were driving the story by playing the game. It's not a story that was being told to them in cut-scenes from the game designers' point of view." - Will Wright

Vintage Bob, circa 2001, trawled from the sifter: I'm buying a Gamecube immediately, and playing the wait-and-see on the Xbox. Come on, Super Monkey Ball alone sold me the system. PS2 falls with the PSOne, in the category of Systems I Will Never Buy. Maybe I'm missing out, but I don't think so. Maybe the PS3 will rock, or maybe they'll pull a Sega and port GT3 and MGS2 to everyone else. If GTA3 weren't coming out on PC though, I would have to buy one. Made me chuckle a little, considering his recent talk about buying one from Japan to play EDF2. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards.

The PS2 was a pretty crappy system, but once the game library picked up I had no choice. That statement was mostly the result of the PS1 being a big worthless pile of feces.

Just tried 3 leaf clover. Ggrrr. Where's some fucking health or ammo? I got all the way to the fucking service hatch exit, but with a sliver of health. Cocksuckers. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Beat it on the second try. I came across an armor pack near one of the police cars during the shoot out, and when I got back to the service exit I tried Kiki and she hooked me up. Then it was easy to get in a car and drive back. Now New Jersey is unlocked. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

So I've been replaying GTA3 and I've come to realise why it's such a better game. There are very few instances where you have to actually kill someone. And when you do have to go smash someones face in with a baseball bat, you don't actually have to do that at all. You can just run them over. I played a mission the other day, a bank heist. The mission consisted of driving to a safe house to pick up 3 guys, drive to the bank, then outrun the cops. None of this getting out of the car and running through narrow corridor bullshit. Just pure driving awesomeness. The only time I'm ever not in a car is to swap to a better/different car or to pick up a new mission. The rest of the game is just driving. It's great. |
|
That is what I have been saying forever. It's why the game is called Grand Theft Auto. Not Grand Theft Gears of Wars Streets of The Sims City. |
|
I've been playing LCS on my PSP and I'm enjoying that more than IV. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|
|
Yeah, I was gonna buy LCS the other day but I realized that if I did that I would probably not play GTA4 for months. |
|
The thing I miss about previous GTAs was just driving around finding things to do. The car stealing is a prime example, you'd have this mental list of cars you needed to find, and you'd sort of watch out for them while you were driving around. Now, the car-stealing consists of going to a specific place, finding the specific car, and taking it to the garage. It's basically just another mission. And then you're stuck in Bohan with no car and nothing to do. The taxis are convenient for skipping all the boring driving across town between missions, but the fundamental problem is that driving is boring. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
