oh man this game is so good! anyone here own it yet? ive heard a few people diss it for some reason or another but i dont see how it can be dissed. this game really is that good. climbing on a hill or house and looking down on the moving city is pretty special. i cant wait to climb mount. chiliad. its gonna take a while to get there though. I thought i had found a way to get round the roadblocks that stop you getting to the certain areas of san andreas that your not supposed to reach yet, by swimming across the sea, but when i reached the shore, i immediatly had 4 wanted stars and got tourn a new a-hole by the police chopper. ouch. this game is **** cool.

My friend got it, and I must say that the dialogue is the funniest thing in a video game in a very long time. I wish I had some black friends to help me translate some of the stuff in it. But overall it's a great game.

But I win because I preordered Halo 2 today. :)

GTA:SA is awesome from what little I've played of it - I like the addition of police bikes, for a start. The ability to climb is ace, and the city is much more dangerous. In GTA:VC the pedestrians wouldn't pull guns on you if you mugged them!

I like the way they've given you 'turf', it makes it feel a bit more realistic.

Fable is actually how I got GTA. I traded it in and only had to pay like 20 bucks. Fable was good, but I beat it pretty fast, and it was pretty easy.

I'm pissed because Rockstar is greedy and isn't making GTA:SA for xbox! Sony must have paid them an assload of money! Anyways, I doubt many people are gonna buy a PS2 just to play 1 game. I'm gonna wait for the PC version.. hopefully out in April 2005.

it was overrated because of stupid people who read every update and made it their life goal to know everthing about it, but when it came out it didnt dissapoint at all. i would actually say that it did alot more then i ever expected, i'm very impressed and will probably play it for a LONG time

I agree. I didn't think it looked that great before it came out, I was just thinking I'd rent it and maybe it'd be good. But it turns out it's great. It impressed me.

???? are u kidding ????

microsoft payed millions for rockstar to give in to them

and i dont understand how it will work this time, i havent seen the official documents but this makes sence, it took them a LONG time to put gta3 and vice city on xbox, and alot of money...IF they stick the pattern it will be almost 4 years b4 we see it on xbox and ps2 will already have another gta

even if they just wait a while to put it on xbox, we would have heard about it by now if it was gunna b out b4 the xenon comes out

either way, gta keeps the ps2 on the spot and i bought the minips2 just for this game, but i'll definetally get ratchet and clank too :)

PS2 is the best system out there no matter what anybody says. Based on games, PS2 spanks Xbox.

What about HALO2??? Well guess what, that is all Xbox has, and is the reason why they sold half of the units they did.

your a moron

its still gta3 for one thing, so the actual originality is not the aproach they were after, its basically an expansion pack on steroids(...yea)...its only a little over 5X the size of vice city, and its not like the dialogue was well done and the physics are way better on the vehicles

and you gain actual stats for doing things and they affect the course of the game

and you can kill people...thats all i need

That's why I just ordered HALO2 today. If you goto the right places (i.e.-Toys R Us, Target), they're still easily available. But don't expect anything at a videogame store.

I've had it for a few days, I really haven't posted much at all since :o
I'm one mission away from making my way to San Fierro. I jumped the wall into Los Santos International Airport, hijacked a plane and flew it to Los Venturas (I think that's the name of the third city). Of course, the four star wanted rating came up. I thought I was all right because I couldn't remember any air defense in previous GTA's. But a fighter jet came up on me and shot my plane down! Craziness.
The only complaints I've heard are graphics, with low framerates and choppiness. I really haven't had any problems with this, as I've never even noticed.
The most useless addition I've seen is girlfriends... uh, they don't seem to do anything but consume your time. (I guess that's not too far off from real life either!) Unless of course I'm missing something...

Anyways...I've played Halo a few times. I have no idea what the hype's about. It's hardly any different from any other shooter ever made, honestly. Don't try to defend it because if you think differently, you're wrong.

And if you think Xbox dominates on originality and gameplay, well...yeah.

Xbox isn't getting Alien Hominid. You lose.

It's got plenty of power, but I've put more time into FFT Advanced than I have on all of my Xbox games combined. Doesn't that say something?

PS2 is the best system out there no matter what anybody says. Based on games, PS2 spanks Xbox.

What about HALO2??? Well guess what, that is all Xbox has, and is the reason why they sold half of the units they did.

NO!

Xbox has 4 controller ports vs PS2's 2 ports. Of course you can buy one of those overpriced multi-controller hubs.

Xbox has a built in network controller that you can hook up to other Xbox's with a crossover cat5 cable.

Xbox has a HDD that will store all your saved games so you don't have to waste money on memory card(s), and loading times are quicker than PS2 as well.

Xbox live....
Or if you dont wanna pay, there are thousands of people on XBConnect.

I know it's illegal, but if you mod your Xbox you can do a lot more than just play games. I.E. put a larger HDD in and back up files on it. And you can rip all your games to the HDD so you dont have to switch disks all the time.

I seriously think this is the best game ever.

I still haven't unlocked San Fiero and Las Venturas yet, but i just made it to San Fiero by swimming across the river where the southwest highway gets blocked.

Almost got killed immediately, stole a police jeep which caught fire within a few seconds, jumped out just in time, jacked a special forces van to get full armor, managed to reach a road despite its flat tires... then i came across what i believe was a country club, stole some redneck's dirtbike and then proceeded north for SF. What followed was a long, long ride of dodging and manouvring cop cars. It's unbelievable how huge this game is. I actually did made it to the pay n spray in SF, but the wanted level didn't disappear. A few minutes after that, they killed me.

what a chase...

At the minute I'm in Las Venturas, I think I'm doing pretty well so far ;) I only got the game on Friday. It is really an excellent effort from Rockstar, the sheer magnitude and freedom is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It dwarfs Vice City and Liberty City by comparison. The countryside is a joy to drive through on a dirtbike or jeep. And I agree with JmE that driving through San Fierro is like a non-stop orgasm - just awesome.

FOR THE INFO OF ZAKATH AND JME: SPOILERS: DO NOT READ IF ON EARLY STAGES OF GAME







Zakath: You get the flight missions after cracking onto the third island. To my recount, it's the fourth mission you do in the desert. Also, it's the hardest thing I've done in the game, and it's mandatory before you can continue further with the story.

JmE: There's a mock-up of Area 51 in the desert near Las Venturas. I went in with my dual-uzis so I could take out people and have a look around. All I saw was a couple of tanks and some Anti-Aircraft guns. If you can jack a plane, try flying over it ;) it's called "Restricted Area" on the map.

People: Yeah, there's a mission to go to Liberty City. Only the Bistro (St. Paul's? I can't remember the name) though, and you can't stay to look around :(.

How to find big foot: Taken from GameFaqs forums:
i know how to spot bigfoot

go to a place on the hills where there are rocks, then stand there between 6:00 and 8:00. once you see him he will run if you chase him he would just stop and sometimes swing at you.

the only thing is that you cannot see him if you are carrying the camera. rockstar does not want any on to have proof that he exist in order to keep their gamers having fun searching for him and other weird things.

i'm just waiting for Half Life 2. Half Life original is awesome, and the multiplayer is great. Half Life 2 got 98% in a PC Gamer mag review, and labeled the 'Best Game Ever'

it's out in 2 weeks or so. woo

Yeah, and I've got a coupon to get it for free :D

(Shame there's too much pr0n on my computer for it to run decently though :upset: )

Zero's missions in San Fierro are laaaame. Rockstar should really get rid of all the RC handheld vehicle bullshit. It took me hours to beat the last 2 missions. It REALLY annoyed me. Especially when you feel you were as time efficient as possible and a little RC plane runs out of fuel 10 feet before the landing spot.

Haha, yea they're back. Annoying as ever. Good news: you don't have to complete them to advance in the main storyline. Bad news: you need to complete them if you want 100% completion of the game.

Ah thats okay then. I was stuck on that rc plane mission in Vice City, where you have to bomb the boats for an age. Lucky for me, I'm not too bothered about 100%ing it :)

Wow, I just took an Infernus down the highway at full speed (I think) with nitrous burning out the back end. I was driving almost straight into the sunset, so everything was glowing, especially after I hit full speed and the screen started bluring. :)

^^ Yet another reason everyone should own this game.

I just got my pilots license.

I broke into area 69 and got the jetpack.

I flew a plane to the maximum height (well above the cloud layer) and then skydived in my boxer shorts. I've skydived at least twenty times in the last hour.. it's awesome.

Murray where are you up to on it? Are you using cheats? And how long have you been playing it for since you bought it?
I've opened the third city (las venturas).

The last few missions I did were getting the green goo for the lunatic government guy, strapping a guy to my car bonnet and scaring him into talking for the triad casino and trying to get through zero's first mission.

I refuse to use cheats on gta; the only game I have never ever used a cheat on.

I got it on saturday, played it for about two hours, spent about six hours on it yesterday and about four hours today.

After so many years of honing the art, I'm one skilled little* 27 year old computer game addict.

Let me make it clear, I don't use cheats and nor should anyone on this game.

I was disappointed in the racing sections, I beat the japanese guys using a cabbie and then a hermes.


I forgot to add (this for Dennis) another impressive addition to the longevity and full-immersiveness of the game is the skill levels. Now, rather than starting a new game whenever I can't be arsed doing that last ambulance mission I now have an investment in continuing all the way, otherwise I go back to crap stats.

I've sprayed only 9 tags so far. Did you also know that once you get the camera (from the start of the San Fierro section) there are a certain amount of spots around the map that you need to photograph? Gamespot said one of them was a bench in a park at nightfall... how the hell I'm going to find all these when they aren't signposted has me buggered.




Now if only my mother would **** off from the tv I could get back to the game.

Yea there's like 3-4 sports bikes and a couple harley/touring type bikes.

I just took a sports car with 10 shots of NOS out onto the highway that goes down the left side of the countryside in San Fierro..ended up flipping it into the ocean. :( There goes my gold 24" rims and ricer exhaust. :lol:

Hey Murray, how far am I from unlocking flying school? I'm on the first "CJ" mission in San Fierro.. I just did The Truth's mission where you have to burn all the weed. All those choppers and jets in the San Fierro airport look kickass..

Did you find the NRG-500 on Los Santos? It's a sweet racing supersport bike.

Because my little brother, who looks like he's 7 although he is 10, went to pick up the game, the salesman found he needed to address my mother as to the "Sexual Violence" in the game. After looking it up at ESRB.com, there is no sexual violence, and she now has lost her whole argument for me not to get it instead of my little brother. This has not detered how, however, from deciding to rent it and then watch me play it to decide if it is suitable. My plan; Only play the first real mission, from there on out go take a taxi and do that mission, telling them that it is what you do throughout the game. If they are completley unreasonable, I'll probably just go get it sometime. It sounds way too good to not get just because they say it is not suitable. (Even though they were both there when my brother picked up Vice City at Wall-Mart.)
