nZane Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Dammit, I held off as long as could. But in approximately two hours, I will finally take the plunge. I will do what I've held off doing for so very long and what I swore never to do again. I will buy another video game system (X360, to be precise). And it's all because of that damn GTA. May God have mercy on my soul. And may FSM have mercy on my checking account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningHamster Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yes yes you are weak. Not being a console gamer, I have considered buying one specifically for GTA IV .... but then I think I will just you know ... pay rent and continue to eat. God I hate being poor. And responsible.

If I buy a new console it's going to be PS3 though, the only 2 games I'd buy a console for are Gran Turismo and GTA, and I don't think GT comes out on 360.

BlueStar Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 PS3 in place...check! Maim, kill, destroy with GTA...check! Check to see if son can hold controller...no...check! GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actarus Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yes nZane, you are pitifully weak. Incidentally, so are the millions who will inevitably buy this game, and are likely calling in "sick" (and/or skipping school) to play this game. If it makes you feel better, I'm far weaker than you; I pre-ordered the game last week, through Amazon with their free shipping. Going with the free "SUPER SAVER" shipping, I didn't expect to get the game until mid-to-late May, but I just checked my e-mail, and it's already shipped! GTA should arrive on the 3rd! This is the first time I've ever pre-ordered GTA. I don't know what it is with this one, but everything I've seen has REALLY impressed me. Can't wait to play this game. Now if only it was this easy to find a Nintendo Wii... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nZane Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have about $430 worth of new toys sitting at home right now, and exactly 79 minutes before I leave work. THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!! On a side note, woo to a free $50 Best Buy gift card for buying the game and the system at the same time. Looks like I'll be getting a free year of Live on top of this purchase! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trypio Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 One question though, before I make a decision about joining you weaklings. Will it ever come out for PC (don't care if it's in a year or so, I can wait! I really can! :cool:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanB Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I heard that it will. Dont wait though, it really is an excellent game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfRoMaN36 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm planning on getting that game soon. Sounds awesome. I'd have to dig into the old "Drivers lisence money" ofcourse. But why try to pick up chicks in a car, when I can do that in the game! .... Then run em over and get my money back! Muahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowedFlames Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I picked up a 360 two months ago--something I said I would never do anytime soon, mind you--just for Elder Scrolls IV since my computer can't run it. I'll be getting GTA IV all too soon and maybe this will be the first one I actually beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 See, GTA was cool but then I bought the Godfather game and realised what a criminal game could be! *pauses for uproar of disagreement* Quote The Raven Nevermore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Godfather was awesome, especially on the Wii. I always liked GTA but the horrible framerates and generally archaic controls held the game back. Now they've adopted both the hand to hand AND the gun controls directly from True Crime - although of course IGN lauds them as being original and amazing... they're at least amazing.

I can only imagine how sweet the "Blackhand" control system was on Wii. I have to find someone with it on that console!

Moe Hunter Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Blackhand controls were awesome on the Wii. Motion controlled punching and strangling, remote-aimed shooting, and nunchuck-shake honking of car horns were all highlights. Man I really want to play that again now...

I still have another three hours before I can go home and play a little on my lunch break and I think I'm starting to experience a bit of withdrawal!
