Stood in line for 25 whole minutes at EB (I paid in full last week).
Graphically it looks about the same. I\'ve only played 10 mins or so though. The acting is actually kinda...good? And they say the "f-word" and "n-word" a lot. You have to picture me making the bunny ears with my fingers for that last sentence to be effective. Lots more vehicles, meters for stamina, sex appeal, fat level, muscle level and more. I wish I had more time to play.
The strategy guide for the game is friggin\' huge. Probably interesting to look at, but I wouldn\'t pay money for it. If I need a guide, I\'ll go to gamefaqs in a week or two and check for the entries by the mountain dew-driven faq writers.
Oddly-but-not-surprisingly enough, I saw several 12-13ish year old looking kids in line at EB with their mothers. Jesus H. Christ, I wasn\'t even allowed to watch mtv at that age.
-
you dirty slut! However, I would make sweet ghetto love to you for owning this game. Give us some in depth impressions once you have some playing time
-
ur parents must have been pretty protective.......I\'ve been playing gta since the first one and im 13 now ( turning 14 in 5 days). And u werent even allowed to watch mtv until u were 13? I feel bad for you.... :(

Hah I went into Gamestop today to preorder Halo 2 and there were a buncha nerds there. I soon found out it was for GTA:SA.
Spent about 7min in line and when I got to the register I told the guy I didn\'t know the game came out today and I just wanted to preorder Halo 2. He asked his manager something behind the counter and they pulled out a shiny new copy of SA. So I ended up spending about $55 instead of just $5. :p
Anyway, graphics still look like sh!t with a few tweaks here and there. LANGUAGE IS RAUNCHY. This definitely pushes the edge with anyone still living with their folks, watchy.
So far it\'s more fo the same; neat characters and look at the map for the next objective. I hear Sam Jackson\'s and Chris Penn\'s voices so far, haven\'t noticed anyone else\'s.
-
^^LA LA LA LA... I CANT HEAR YOU!^^
heh:p
-
I\'m salivating just thinking about this game. I pre-ordered so I\'m picking it up first thing tomorrow.
First thing I\'m gonna do is go on a huge rampage and steal some motorcycles, then jump them off of some huge cliffs or hills or whatever I can find.
yyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaayy it\'s like christmas

i wouldn\'t let my 13 year old child play GTA
-
Got the game also, there is no WAY my kid is playing it, I am usually pretty liberal with him (11 years old) but this game goes too far for kids. Talking about "Su(k my D!Ck" and "Fu*k" every other word, this game is pushing boundries, it is NOT like any other game of this series in this sence.
Having said that, the game is SWEET, I am totally digging, my favorite mission thus far was sweet and simple "Go Beat up the Crack Dealer"!:laughing:
Oh and the music :bounce:
Gotta love it!
-
...must...buy....now....
-
would anyone like some impressions!!! haha in your faces

Nah its just from time to time the Australian government ship over Soulgrind to the US for mm to look after for about a week, something about letting the poor fellow see civilisation :p

You still screwing mm ooseven, you really should stop. Your love for him is really starting to show through.

mm\'s got a 13 yr-old locked in his closet

So I played a little more. No missions yet though, besides the first easy one you have to do in order to get a save point. Just drove around for awhile.
Call me crazy, but I wish there was an 80s music station. I will absolutely not be listening to the country music station. Good stuff though. I don\'t have my 5.1 sound hooked up right now, so I haven\'t checked to see if there\'s a 4.1 surround option like in Vice City. I believe I saw something about dolby pro logic, which is only 2-channel? But I dunno...anyhoo...
AI driving has improved. There are highways with actual interchanges, though it\'s hard to see the signs, you almost have to stop in order to read them. The other vehicles move faster than a snail this time. They don\'t come to a graceful little halt if you block their way.
Working out is awesome. Haven\'t eaten yet. I probably should. I have no idea if I "have" to eat...will have to keep an eye on my health meter I guess. After I worked out the civilians kept telling me I smelled, so there must be a way to take a shower. Maybe a dip in the ocean, maybe change clothes?
Swimming is okay. I\'m one who always hated the water levels in games. Apparently there are 50 oysters to find under water, a la hidden packages. It\'s actually a little corny to have CJ dive for oysters. Notice I didn\'t say clams...ahem..chizzy.
I haven\'t poked around a whole lot, but I saw no reference to hidden packages or rampages.
It\'ll be fun to figure out how to improve bike/motorcycle skill. Don\'t know if there\'s a way to get respect without doing missions.
The environment is huge, as we already know. I\'m going to have to mark on the map insert when I come across things like police bribes.
So I wish I was 16 again so I could ditch school and homework to play this game. Ah crap, then I\'d have no money and would never get laid. And my car insurance would be outrageous. And I\'d have bad taste in cars and clothing. Nevermind, I\'ll be grateful for the 2 hours a day I can play this game.

Nevermind

Thats such a beautiful thing. (sara)
I just picked up my copy on my way home today and i was a bit worried because i was reading about how its all just the same shit etc. and though it is to an extent, it really starts to feel different. Somebody said the visuals arent better but i would definitely have to disagree. There is no huge immediate difference but if you go into the cine view, you can easily see the difference in textures etc. The cars shine and there are now actual looking blades of grass.
The weather looks better as well. Driveby\'s have never been so sweet and doing the tomagachi thing on your negro has never been better (pardon me - reference to another GTA thread). As far as the missions go - I havent gotten too far into the game but you get to see a variety of aspects from the beginning. Luckily its not too repetitive and the whole meet all the family and do jobs for them bit is scrapped - well at least this far. With the whole maintaining your character thing, you can actually go a day without doing actual missions, which i think is pretty kool. Working out, eating, gettin your hur did, tattoos and threads are all pretty neat. There are even small arcade games (ala super turkey puncher 3 from doom3), and i havent even gotten to a point where i can customize my car.
Knowing a lot of the music on here, I find it pretty entertaining. The silly nature of GTA\'s original soundtrack is still there but not nearly as strong. Im guessing indifference might be a common thing with people this time around.
The language is definitely a lot stronger and personally makes it enjoyable in a silly type of way. Also, after the missions i have done, I havent gotten a lot of cash (if i got any at all). Im going to assume that this means that the game\'s longevity is great or im just not getting paid because of the situation the character is in.
Theres a lot to say and i havent even gotten that far yet. Hopefully this wasnt just a bunch of jabber. After some doubts in the beginning, the game is definitely starting to shape up.

lol. hell yeah. did the same. Then i reloaded and got an afro with a goat and it was all good. ;) Waiting for the cash to drop on a nice set of corn rows.
This would be a great Chappel skit.
-
I\'m thugged out right now, rock\'n the muscle, with the high fade...hidden by a green back rag, got some tats and starting tomorrow, I\'m going to be invading homes...woot!
-
It\'s on my PS2\'s hard drive. :) I\'ll be playing it tonight. :D
-
God damn this game is sweet.... I got it last nite and only played it for an hour (damn you woman, and your Law & Order!!!) I will be cancelling band nite at the studio to play it tonite... BTW, I haven\'t even been able to escape on the BMX without getting shot up yet...lol.
I spent most of my time just crusin\' around my \'hood checkin\' out the gameplay. I love getting shot by mexican gangbangers at east beach... then I run \'em over and take their bank.
-
Just got the PAL version :D
-
I have a copy of the game and I haven\'t even seen the main menu.
My PS2 decided to completely crap out.

Ditto. I would keep it all for meself ;) Its funny, parents buy games like GTA for their kids then complain that its too violent then try and get it banned. Unbelievable :rolleyes: I\'m gonna get my grimy little hands on this game ASAP. I wish I preordered it.

lol. Cancelling band!? Nice choice :p. I never got shot at when trying to get out. I guess i took the safe route. *shrugs*.

Hell yeah. Just started that today. I dont want to give away too much but they have a sneak meter wich measures your stealthiness. Not too bad of a spoiler, doesnt give away any story [SP]After that misson you can just rob people at night in certain houses and rob they asses blind sucka![/SP] Good times.
Anyway, there are so many minigames etc. I just went to a club and danced - by ways of DDR like gameplay. Not only can you do that but new songs are unlocked to dance too. Of course theres a plethora of cheezy arcade games. If this game was online i guarrantee you would see some crazy high score from some nerd.
And shooting people has never been more fun. I do realize that the pc version will actually get a boost in this department because you have to manual aim sometimes depending on what youre doing/shooting. You can shoot a car\'s gas tank and have it blow up too. ;). The sound is great and 4 men drivebys are just so much fun.
Too much to say about this one.
-
^^
the stealth part kicks ass on the Mad Dogg mission...god damn this game kicks ass, and there is so much I can\'t do yet
-
Is it just me or is there a blurring effect when I\'m zipping down the streets?
-
at very high speeds there\'s a speed filter on the camera, like fast and the furious.
Well, I just got the ability to customize my ride, very sweet.
I also just had a 15 minute 4 star run from the cops, I prpously crossed the border to get the 4 star rating and just ran around for the hell off it. being chased my those mountain sherrif guys, being shot at by helicopters and having Horse with No Name playing in the background...priceless
-
I can\'t f\'king wait much longer, only about 24 hours to go before I can get my hands on my copy.
I\'ve been trying to pass the time by playing GTA VC again the last 4-5 days.
Never has that game seemed so boring.
-
I\'ll officially own it tomorrow morning (at around 13:00 when the post man in his post car stops by my mailbox and drops a brown little DVD sized paperbox in the mailbox.).
:D

I just climbed over the fence at the airport and flew the dodo. :D
As soon as I crossed into the area where I shouldn\'t be I got shot down by a police chopper. :eek:

What\'s it like to fly?
Is it easy, how high can you climb etc?
-
Flying the dodo is very easy yes. I haven\'t tested the hight properly because it was foggy and raining when I flew. I got shot down by some kind of missile when I strayed too far north (you can\'t drive over the bridges at the start as they are blocked off).
-
anyone know where a scanof the map.manual are?
i\'ll have mine in around 14 hours :D but still lol

Bastard. I have to check that out. I was at the airport but i didnt see the planes. I saw a car that looked nice and then jacked it. Kinda forgot after that. heh. The AI is also so much better. The cops dont run into your car as much and in the first few stars they arent too bad but sometimes they can be. Dying is a lot easier in this game and makes it more fun i guess. If you try to mess with a group of about 5-7 gangbangers and a cop at the same time then youre ****ed.
The cops also will block small passageways off and come at you. Ive been in front of CJ\'s house where they blocked off the alley next to ryders house and the end of the block. Pretty kool if you ask me.

Nice. Yeah, i love the blurring effect. Really nice. The only thing i dont like about the car customization is [SP] at this point you can only do lowriders. If found some pimped out cars that i wanted to put some nitro on and some rims but i couldnt. The lowrider comps give me mad cash[/SP]. Well at least compared to the amount ive earned so far. Iv only done it a few times, and i always bid $1000.

Great game.
