I was playing this before work this morning, and it's pretty sweet.  Turn off sound, though.

I'm glad someone else feels this way. I liked the "Real Talk" aspect of EB, but lately it's just been bitchy one liners and a lot of moaning. It's slowly turning into Pitchfork: Games!

Definitely agree - but I think there is legitimate cause for annoyance with GTA4. Most of the people posting have already laid down their $60 and the game is just different from the PS2 ones and SR in some important ways.

Yeah, but there are some things that are just uncalled for

Bitching because PS3 froze - valid
Bitching because fundamental differences in controls - you can fucking get the same controls as the old games. I found that shit out in ten fucking seconds.
Bitching because Saints Row is better overall - jesus christ what the fuck I'm not going to touch this one.

My point is that there really isn't anything BAD about the game I'm playing. Saints Row was good too, but the graphics were Xbox 1.5 IF THAT and it didn't really control that differently IMO from GTA except for maybe having better aiming and on foot controls.

This thread is being DERAILED, but I'm with you. Saint's Row was an interesting take on the GTA formula, but it was still little more than an imitator. GTA4 steps in a number of big ways and all we get is "DUH MORE OD THE SAME". Wasn't that the case with SR? Or did the ragdoll and car customization somehow add up to more than the greatest open-world sim yet?

Who ever bitched about the button arrangement? People bitching about controls are bitching about vehicle physics and a wallowing camera and slovenly turning.

The hive mind is alive and well on this site. It seems like this place is more oppositional though.

I've been noticing how much people bitch about controls in any game.  It's like they forget there's a learning process behind any game's controls, so as soon as they have trouble with something they give up and say the game has shitty controls...just plain idiocy. 

Like this game for example...spend ten minutes driving around and get to know how the controls actually work (rather than bitching about how the cars don't all turn on a dime.)   Voila!

Saints Row offered arcade fun in an open world setting - it wasn't trying to be a crime cinema simulation.

Also I doubt changing the controls will change some functions. Wanna throw a brick?

-Find some little piece of shit
-Hold down the 'call cab' button over it
-HALF hold the aim button
-hold down the shoot button
-release

That can't be streamlined?

Oh and make sure you throw it at a window pane, if you throw it at the glass door it just bounces off like it's made of steel.


I can get over that though. I just hope that cars other than the Ferrari I drove in multiplayer will become drivable at some point. I'm enjoying the rest of the package.

oh wow, I forgot what thread I was in.

If you aren't going to play GTA, go play Noitu Love 2.  It's not a hentai game, it just sounds like one.

Goddamn you TVC for showing me this! Spent the past hour or so playing this and made it to #46 on the leaderboards. Would've been higher too had I noticed the poison tile.

Then stop posting here you saggy piece of shit.

The piece of shit site is the one where everyone bashes shit without buying or even playing it - that's GAF. There are legitimate complaints to be had with this game versus its own predecessors and Saints Row.

No one has actually stopped playing it as a result of the quibbles, so get some thicker skin or post some more porn and fuck off.

He hasn't?  He's being edited out of the gaming forum, then.

But please get back on topic, guys.

Hahaha, epic. 

Pretty strange that this guy, who puts so much effort into posting here and on gaf, can't follow through on a simple deal. 

oh, and everyone knows that the "dood, I've gotta wait until [date far in to the future] to get my paycheck" line is bullshit. That's what shitty ebay buyers say all the time.

hey wait-those are HEXES  :hyper :hyper

I'll give it a go tonight. I'll also add that everyone should try out the demo for Airport Mania (http://www.airportmania.com) . It's one of those time management sort of casual games, but it's got some pretty good mechanics and  variable target scoring/rewards for playing with high skill , something that isn't often seen. It's also an interesting setting with super cute graphics.  :heartbeat
