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).

Just make sure not to get in a super large guild where you feel like you're pugging even with guild members.

I have zero interest.  I always wished they'd made more Conan movies, but a Conan videogame is just YA fantasy RPG.

The pvp stuff sounded pretty interesting, assuming they actually kept what they said they were doing. If the game is actually just a lame WoW clone, then fuck it.

I felt the same way until someone explained to me some of the gameplay things they're doing and it actually sounds like they're trying to do some interesting things with it. I may overlook the yet-another-fantasy-RPG thing and give it a try.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they learned from the launch of AO.

I'm not saying buy at first month mark either. Wait and see will probably pay of something fierce...

I'm playing Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. It's been interesting, but now I'm stuck at the part where you go to sleep in that filthy hotel and "they" are coming to kill you. The whole "it's chasing you and if you turn around it'll be right there in front of you looking in your eyes" scares me more than all the monsters in Resident Evil combined. I'm looking at a walkthrough for the game and it looks like the escape section ahead of me is quite long. I guess I could just run through it in godmode, but I never do that. So now I'll probably have to box the game, because it scares me too much :(

The best walkthrough for that stage is reading The Shadow over Innsmouth, or watching the movie Dagon.

Yeah, I've read that that part matches Shadow over Innsmouth very closely, but that doesn't make me less nervous and girly while playing :/

Due to all this GTa talk, I went back and reinstalled GTA: San Andreas and after some screwing around with an old save game, started a replay.

It holds up astonishly well, looks great with everything cranked, Therapy?, Wildheads and coheed & cambria blaring on a custom soundtrack, breaking missions by doing things ass backw2ards, cases where you just gotta stay on til the end where you can then whack the target.

With the pc version you can headshot the driver through the windscreen, makes jacking the car much easier, as the corpse ever so nicely opens the door for you as it slumps to the tarmac.

I've been playing PC GTA 3 a few days ago, and the mission where you have to provide sniper cover for 8-Ball on the deck of that huge ship was easy as stomping a kitten, while I remember it took me like ten tries on the PS2 back when I played it on that, because aiming was so difficult and you couldn't lock on targets.

Perhaps one enables it through chanting and blood sacrifice rather than a console command.

That 8 Ball mission was easy on the PS2 because there was a pill nearby that made everything super slow.

Well sure, if you have that as the console command, that at least makes it difficult.

GTA mission spoilers, maybe.




So I had this mission to to kill a guy and steal his files, but in order to get there I had to go in under the guise of an interview. I get to the office building and as I am escorted to the office for the interview I notices there's a lot of security. Sure enough I kill the guy, the secretary screams and all the security come running. I figured that I would have to go through the cover mechanic and inch my way out of the office building. But then I remember that I didn't go up any stairs and that this guy had a corner office and wondered if I could shoot out a window and escape that way. It worked. I shot the window, jumped down a little bit, jacked a taxi and got rid of my wanted level. Easy peasy. Even though the front end of the mission was heavily scripted, the back end of it was good. Too bad the missions aren't more like that.

I'm cynical enough to thing that if R* considered this solution they would have put bars over the windows, or make them bulletproof, or something to force the player out the front door.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
