[Multiplatform] Grand Theft Auto IV. Not as much fun as shooting real Albanians

For once, I'm a bit indifferent about GTA. I think SA killed it for me. However, it seems like they've dropped all the useless tat like eating, working out and all that jazz, so it might not be bad.
If the game is almost as good as Vice City, and has a radio channel with Lazlow, like Chatterbox, then I'm buying it. Else, I think I'm gonna sit this one over...

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, so much for wanting to sit this one over. I'm just about to go to the local game pusher to order the SE. Soom, pretty soon. But which version to get?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hah, so I hadn't pre-ordered the game, but hoped that I was lucky. So I stood in front of the store before it opened. Alone. For an hour. But I succeded in getting the special edition. That bag is really great.

As for the game... Well, I haven't played more than a couple of hours, but it almost constantly puts a smile on my lips. Little details as being able to call the fire department. People getting money from a ATM. The police arresting people and actually making them enter the police car, instead of the usual "I saw you hit someone, now amma gonna kill you!" routine. Cars honking loudly when you cut infront of them. Sitting in the back of a cab, looking out the windows while cruising for your destination. The talk show radio stations. Going to see Ricky Gervaise doing comedy (at some point. I read the manual and just SHAT BRICKS!). Working televisions. Niko shoving people out of the way, if they're too close. Seeing the Manhattan-like skyline and knowing that I'll, at some point, stand over there.

However, it seems like I have to get used to the controls. The cars feel somewhat different than I would expect, and it annoys me that I can only scale some ladders, and others are apparently only furniture.
But for every time I see a spot, it's on a solid ton of GOLD, so not much to bitch about, I'm afraid. Yet.

And I haven't even touched multiplayer!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Republican Space Rangers is pretty funny stuff. I just turned on the TV, and there it were. Some day I'll just sit down and watch it all.
Speaking of comedy, does anyone else enjoy the radiostation WT... the one with the eagle? I just love Judge Grady. "You took a dump in the air filter!? AHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Classic stuff.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Woah, lot's of spoilers there I have to avoid=o

Right now I'm taking it easy. I've almost just unlocked the Manhattan-like island (What a rush that mission was, by the way!) and gotten a new mobile.
I just regret I haven't found a way to listen to the radio while walking around. The talk radios are brilliant! (Does there exist a rip of them yet?)
WKTT, Integrity 2.0 and the like. The only thing I listen to at the minute. Besides the jazz station.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That depends. I'd like to revisit Vice City. I loved the dayglo colours, the music and Tommy Vercetti was my favorite until Niko. If they can improve VC, I'm all for it!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
