Post by: Rman on April 28, 2008, 02:43:54 PM: Vote, manbabies.

I'm not. I'll probably rent it later on to see what all hype is about.

Post by: Bloodwake on April 28, 2008, 03:43:13 PM: Already have it paid off.

I lost my wallet on Friday though, making this ten times harder to do. Since I no longer have a valid picture ID, I have to call my old GameStop boss in Corbin and have him call up Hamburg and tell them what's up.

Not me.

My local gamestop has been robbed 3 times in the past month. No way in hell I'm going to sit my white ass in a dark strip mall at midnight for this game. No way in hell.

Thankfully though, I'm 100% payed off.

P.S. Wilco, why did the guy need to give me eight receipts? Couldn't he of just given me, I don't know, ONE FUCKING RECEIPT?

By the way, thanks for telling me it comes it a free month of Xbox Live.

whyzit gotta be a "dark" strip mall?

Post by: Mr. Gundam on April 28, 2008, 04:07:27 PM: I had no intention of buying it, but a group of my friends who can't justify buying either a 360 or PS3 gave me money to buy GTA IV, so they can all play it at my place. I'll probably go to Fred Meyer during lunch and pick it up.

Cannot wait for the multiplayer personally. Some of the best mp sessions I have ever had came with a couple of my friends and I in the back of my store playing GTA LCC on PSP. Cannot wait for this.

Post by: Bloodwake on April 28, 2008, 04:42:07 PM: Listen to this bullshit.

The Corbin GameStop manager called up to Hamburg and the guy was like "uhh that's against the rules I'm going to have to call the DM to get it approved." So, I have to make a special trip up there early to talk to the guy and assure him that I'm not only of age but a former employee of GameStop. The DM's home store is up there too, so I might have to talk to her. Luckily, she's cool and not a douchebag, so I will probably have my game.

If not, I'm going to have to get it back home whenever I come back. What a pain in the ass.

I was going to take phone pic. But I decided not to. I remember seeing some tourist taking pictures of an homeless dude while he was sleeping on a sidewalk in the Village. He was awoken by the flash and chased them away. lol @ tourist without street smarts.

The multiplayer could be interesting, and there'd be no shortage of players. It might sway me to buy it sooner.

Hey guys, reccomend me some music I can kill people to in GTA. I want to abuse in-game soundtracks. Badly.

That's cool GTA IV has custom soundtracks. The one thing I was hyped for in this game, the radio stations, don't really deliver for me, apart from the chill station which looks interesting. And apart from STEVIE NICKS - EDGE OF SEVENTEEN. I'm not happy that they put in 3 reggae stations - a classic reggae station, a reggaeton station, and a dancehall station... wtf this is New York not Jamaica! Also, the dance station is disappointing and a bit too focused on hipster/indie rocker's concept of "dance" music (dance rock has gotten a bit long in the tooth for me), and some songs don't really belong much on a dance station at all (Killing Joke?), although I appreciate a few tracks by deadmau5 getting put on there.

Post by: Beezy on April 29, 2008, 12:07:35 AM: Shut the fuck up haters. Reggaeton is not reggae at all so don't group them together. Even though I hate it, I know how huge it and also reggae is in NYC. The people responsible for the soundtrack in this game knew what they were doing.

Next thing you know, people will be bitching about Fela Kuti.

I'm very glad about 2 of the reggae stations. reggaeton...not so much. KJAH in GTA3 was fucking tight though, turned me on to Scientist.

that's the philosophy that's defined my spinning for the past 3 years and I'm happy to see people rediscover and drop stuff like Killing Joke, the Wire and the like into dance sets.
