Oh, and strip clubs work pretty similarly to San Andreas, only this time the strippers talk to you while you're getting a private dance, so it's easier to nevermind.

Yes, that matters if you're gay. Which you're not. I think I've expressed my feelings on playing a non-handsome character and how difficult it is for me to do that. The story is good so far. It's also nice that you don't get sucked into some sort of crime world right off the boat like most of the other GTA games, and it's paced pretty nice to where the first few missions you don't really have an idea of where the story is going or anything, and there isn't really a heavy story at first so it's easier to get used to the enviroment.

For now I've decided that I'd rather be playing the game than writing a review, but I'll talk about what I can. On foot Walking and running ad sprinting. Those are the three modes you have. Without hitting any buttons and just moving the control stick, it's walking, and it's mindnumbingly slow. It's nice in the sense that you can realistically blend in with normal people becausse you're just as slow as them, but I'd still prefer how previous games were set up. Holding A lets you run, and tapping A is sprinting. Now, there's another cosmetic problem with the walking/running. Whenever you change direction Niko does this wierd lean to the side you're turning. I mean it looks more like he is walking on an angle, and it's creepy looking. I haven't sene much combat being only two and a half hours in, and not going around just killing people, but when I was in combat, it seemed very sluggish. When I'd punch or shoot it seemed like there was a lot more time in between each punch and shot of the gun. I don't think that's a problem, the other games everything seemed unrealistically fast. I'll have to get into more combat for a better opinion, but Niko's sluggishness may be due to another issue I wanted to bring up. Niko is fat. He isn't like, extremely obese or anything, but it looks like he has a bit of a belly. Or a lot of a belly really. Maybe it's just his clothes, because GTA games never really could make jacket look not fat. Driving Driving is different now, it's more realistic than previous games and the cars don't handle as easily. A nice feature I noticed was when I got into an old beat up car, Niko has trouble starting it, and when it is going down the road it will let out some smoke from the tailpipe and make a stereotypical car backfiring sound. Misc. Dating seems to be revamped, and I went on one date that I think was through the story, but I'm not sure. As they said they wanted to blur the lines between story missions and side missions, and they actually did a pretty good job of that, because side mission type things will actually call you on your cell phone, and seem to have an idea of the story and don't seem out of place. I went on the internet for a little bit, but I didn't see much, I think I'll have to wait until I find out stuff online like secrets or something (read: porn), but I think it's a cool novelty that I might come back and visit later, like watching T.V. Hookers a a little different. I only tried so I could give a better review though, and in no way rely on this gameplay feature to get me off. So, the hookers actually move in your car now, and you can choose between three priced jobs, $20, $50, and $70. My character was a chep bum, so got the $20 special, which turned out to be a clothed HJ. So, all you see is a hooker's hand going up and down over Niko's pants. I don't even want to think how crazy it will get at the higher prices. I'm going to go play the game some more, I'll post more later today.

I already told you I'm barely legal. Having to stand in line with a bunch of undesirables was almost enough to make me want to just go home and not get the game. I'm glad I gotit though. I only played two and a half hours tonight. Too tired to write about it. July all across the board.

You should call. The one I got it from I called a few hours ago, and I had to go in and buy it and they are only giving copies to people who already bought it, so they don't have to deal with money.

Leaving in 30 minutes to get it.

Really? I mean, like, all the cars turned on a dime and using the handbrake was ridiculous. I don't know what kind of cars you drive, but all the cars I drive don't handle like in the video game.

Every vehicle responds as if it needs an alignment change. It should not be that difficult to control a motor vehicle. Do you mean how ridiucllously unrealistically easy it is to handle the cars?

It isn't the people I hate, it's the culture. I'm not racist.

Jin The proper attittude in relationships.

Red Ring! Red Ring! Hahahaahahahaahahaha!

Just bought the game, and am going to pick it up in two hours. Will stay up all night playing and post my thoughts as I play. Will be better than Hades.

Hahahaha, yeah, what the crap.

What specifically is yor guys' problem with the driving?

The way I see it, if you aren't going to use your legs, why have them?

Your legs are numbers June and November on my list of things to break.

I think we all know what side we're on.

The Pianist wow

They've at least got fingers in this one right?

I give this thread a March.

Haha, you've probably just created another argument Hurly.

You jerks, that bit would have killed over at Cracked.

Which sarcasm were you refferring to, the one immidiately above you, or the one farther up?

I think I've come up with a new reviewing system we can all agree on. So instead of using numbers, or letter grades, or anything like that, we'll use months. Each consecutive month won't increase in value, so like, January won't be a one and December won't be a twelve. Instead, each month's place on the scale will be determined by how much the reviewer likes that month, and how that particular month makes them feel.
