GTA: San Andreas?

**cotron** · October 26th, 2004, 02:17 PM

Anybody get it? I'm supposed to get mine in the mail today... I'm pretty excited.. Is it as good as the reviews say?

**kgb** · October 26th, 2004, 03:09 PM

Got mine last night at 7pm. Its everything that you wanted to be and so much more. The more part is what rockstar didn't tell you and wanted to keep a secret. Game is great in everyway. Just read some reviews they'll sum up everything nicely.

**Cistm** · October 26th, 2004, 03:50 PM

I'm doing a midnight opening up at the local GAME store for the UK release, I hope we get bouncers.

**kgb** · October 26th, 2004, 03:54 PM

You guys should too.

I live in a relatively small town and there was about 1-2 hour wait line for the preorders. I never seen anything like it. I was glad I got there hour early. People were walking out with the game and hiding them down their pants. I saw one guy chasing another. I don't know what for but I'm guessing its something has to do about GTA.

**arghmisfit** · October 26th, 2004, 05:53 PM

i was sapposed to get mine today, but u have to be 18 to get it and my bro works till midnight tonight...

**SeraphSword** · October 26th, 2004, 07:24 PM

I think this low-minded, offensive, degenerate trash is the reason why the country is in such a horrible state...I wish I could just stop playing it.

**MuffinMan** · October 26th, 2004, 07:41 PM

i don't get it...what so great about GTA?
i've played it and usually got bored pretty fast with every title of GTA.
sorry if this offends you.

**fukifino** · October 26th, 2004, 07:53 PM

I usually don't play these games...rather I sit around and watch my roommate play them. So, as a spectator, I can say that I really dig the dialogue and characters (and the voices! hello Mr. Jackson!! hahahah)

**Form** · October 26th, 2004, 08:35 PM

im getting it on friday when it comes out here.... theres one of those little photobooth things across from the eb near me where i ordered... im thinking of hiding in there overnight and being the first to the door in the morning... when vice cam out it was pretty hectic, this willbe like hectic to the power of hardcore.

********SPOILER**********

Co-op??? whooooaaaaa........ good thing i decided to have a bunch of mates and a few cases of bourbon handy this friday.... "everything and more".....sound like teh shit... im really interested in what 'mood' it evokes - whether it comes of as unatmospheric or really grungy and moody.... we will see we will see.

haha, i'm thinking of getting my friends together and kinda do "sneakin and steal HL2" special ops style. lol, but i would be disgracing valve if i did that.
so i don't plan to.

**Form** · October 27th, 2004, 03:11 AM

well then stop thinking about it you silly silly man!

**Lauren Short** · October 27th, 2004, 05:54 AM

all i can say is that it looks cool

after plugging in countless hours, racking my kills up to like 10000 in GTA3(not to mention the million times i went on a killing spree and didn't save) i will definitely give this one a try and see if it's worth another 10k kills

**wes9000** · October 27th, 2004, 02:53 PM

picked it up monday night...

man..... best GTA yet
ive played it a bunch already and ive still only seen less than 1/4 of the entire map. its huuuge.

been rollin wit my crew. got myself a nice jheri curl. going to tha Cluckin' Bell to fuck up some chicken.

**cotron** · October 27th, 2004, 03:02 PM

man I've got it waiting for me at my house... so hard to sit at work.... I feel like a little kid. Can't wait to get my Thug Life stomach piece and do drivebys on some cholos... ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhh!

**bizarre** · October 28th, 2004, 08:06 AM

i've played it for 2 days. two fucking days, and ALL of my weapon stats are at HITMAN...

now, i AM proud of this, sure... but... how does one kill something like 900 people in the course of 8 hours?

sure, i used all the weapon cheats, for tier 1, 2, and 3 weapons (teh chainsaw is teh roxor) but i don't know... once i started killing, it was just... i dunno. numbing. now i have the option of shooting cars' gascaps to blow them up, shooting out tires to slow them down, pulling them out of the car, beating them to the ground and emptying both barrels of a sawed off shotgun into their mouth, or just tossing molotovs, waiting for the fire department to arrive, and then carving them up with a chainsaw, jacking the firetruck and running over as many people as possible until the firetruck catches fire, and usually by this time i've got helicoptors out on my trail so i wait for them to deploy rappeling SWAT guys and then RPG them down, SWAT team and all...

god. greatest form of stress relief ever.

I can't wait to start doing missions!!!

**Form** · October 28th, 2004, 10:32 AM

this shits fo real~

played it about 2 hrs so far, done a few missions...cruised n bruised....you kno....

I dunno every time i get a game like gta i try to go real slow. not explore too much.... keep it as slow pased as i can. i *hate* rushing thru games.

First impressions - very cool. The character physics are awesome this time.... they move real convincingly, like in one bit a gangsta steps off a porch and half turns round to speak and has one foot on the porch and one on the footpath, all his weight and gesture and shit r spot on....

Graphics r nice.... minigames r nice... everything is the shit so far...

1 question tho....ive heard its like.... a 30 min or so drive from one end of the map to the other... now iono if theres any extra shit im missing, but the map seems kinda smaller than i expected. i mean sure i havnt driven out of my hood yet, but from the top down map it dont seem unbelievably huge. bigger than gta:vc sure.... i dunno anyone care to clarify?

great game so far.... would recommend. and bizarre how the hell could u spoil a game wiv cheats already??? the missions n shit r the bestest part!

**Denart** · October 28th, 2004, 10:40 AM

Form,

you're language sounds so ghetto

San Andreas influences?

**Form** · October 28th, 2004, 10:46 AM

wachoo talkin bout foo?

i aint no gansta, homie....im from australia fo real. Now git up out ma face 'fore i cap yo ass.

dam kids....

the forum will be full of gangster talk within the week. any money.

**wes9000** · October 28th, 2004, 11:33 AM

yo form..
word.

from my understanding, i think its supposed to take a good 30 minutes to go from one end of the map to the other on foot... and like 5-10 minutes driving

but man, im still in los santos and it by itself has gotta be the same size as VC or bigger. im still finding tons of new places here everytime i play. ventured out to the countryside up north and checked out a couple small towns too.

last night i built my customized Station Wagon. it's Pink, dropped down on hydraulics, rollin on dubs, and a case of nitrous in the back.
you should see this thing doing drive-bys with a whole crew in the car.

**bRyaN** · October 28th, 2004, 01:26 PM

You Fudge packers....

I'm getting it today...

i was gonna wait for the XBox release, but you bastards convinced me...
Now this is my type of GTA...

**cotron** · October 28th, 2004, 01:46 PM

Hell yeah, this game is the shit... really like the soundtrack, it has danzig, Billy Idol,nwa, even old school toots and the maytals... man i love it. can't get down with the early 90's grunge stuff though... alice in chains while doing a driveby? huh?

gta

**Form** · October 29th, 2004, 09:10 AM

lmao bryan....every gangsta in this game is....you!!!

haha well i annihilated 12 hours of gta today. i usually go on a spree the first day i play a game.... think i get sick of it then wake up the next day thinkin fuck i wanna play thatgame!!

Its pretty tight - and yeh wes the more i play the bigger this feels....huge... and so complex. I think part of it is just the backyards bashing and running across ppl roofs and stuff - in vc it was like.... road or alleyway.... take yer pick.

In SA it has a lot of character - each neighborhood has a distinct nostalgia to it. Like that street around emmets place where you get strapped early on. Its like a real run down ghetto lookin street. I found myself quite a phew times just sittin there in mah lowrider lookin at the scenery and thinkin wat the badass conceptart must have looked like.

Speakin of which....how BAD ASS are the lowriders lol!!!

Yeh.... this game is definately cool. Only annoying thing is getting stuck in those big floodwater canals. If you lose your car its a looong walk back to a ramp lol.

One of the best things rockstar did in the whole game i think was your hood. That one dead-end street has so much character, every time i drive in under that bridge it feels different to the rest of the city. I almsot wanna climb up on the roof o my house and wait for some punk ass balla to come lookin for trouble at the wrong end of mah smg.

This game would be SO uber if it was like a mmorpg... if you could join a gang and defend your 'hood', sit on the roof and pop off enemy lowriders... if rock* ever wanted to go into the online market....thatd b the way to go.

i appluad rockstar on their work. from what ive seen so far, gtasa is the best gta yet, by FAR.

**cotron** · October 29th, 2004, 12:49 PM

I've heard the next GTA title would be online only... but I dont know how credible that is. I agree, it's practically already a MMORPG, why not takeit online?

**Carnifex** · October 29th, 2004, 04:13 PM

agh goddammit! i have no ps(2?) and i don't want to buy one specifically for that game(that's too much money even for this caliber of game). you're making my teeth as long as my legs as i read about your thug tours and i get crazy until the release of it on pc!

i need it but i don't want to pay for more than just the actual game!

*end rant*

**jetpack42** · October 29th, 2004, 04:22 PM

is there co-op?

i'm glad you all are playing it. between this and Halo, everyone should be pretty booked until Xmas, and I'll be getting better at art. suckers.

**Form** · October 30th, 2004, 06:00 AM

laff jetpack, so true.

and yeh theres coop. DRIVE BY MU'FUCKA! and i taker back wat i said bout the cities being small. the game is massive. im actually making notes on the map as to where shit is, or ud get lost.

fuckin rad.

ok seriously tho.....art time now

**flex mathews** · October 30th, 2004, 06:11 AM

i got a chance to play it... too dope. co-op is sweet, i like how you can makeout with your homie in the game. it s pretty funny seeing 2 gangstas kissing.

**Form** · October 30th, 2004, 09:01 PM

Broke into the airport by jumping over the fence with a motorbike on the back of a 'ramp' towtruck. Flew dodo to rooftop. Managed to land it on the tiny helipad (1/1000 odds). Got the parachute. Took off again in dodo. Flew across to las venturas. Got shot down by fighter jets. Parachuted on to roof of casino. Held out against swat for 7 minutes. Died. Woke up back in jefferson. Where am I?

**cotron** · October 31st, 2004, 01:56 AM

Hey form, you know you can get to the roof of that one building by entering the door at the bottom? after getting the parachute, then you can get into the airport by driving around to the side where there's no chainlink...hopping ontop of your car and climbing over the brick wall. I flew to the vegas level and lasted all of a minute before being mowed down by swat guys.

and- there's a faster plane on the far end of the runways, a private jet
