I don't have a PS3 yet but it seems that I have to get one in October
Lucky for you it's coming to the 360 as well!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What is it, the third 10 ever from IGN? Ocarina, Soul Calibur, and now GTA4... Crazy. Might have to reconsider waiting on getting the game now...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As someone who hasn't played the game, I think I am in the best position to say why I think it got a perfect 10:

Guns
Hookers
Curse words


Today's hardcore gamer eats this shit up to make them feel cooler.



Ok, in all honesty, based on the wonderful experiences I've had with previous GTA games, I can only guess that it expands upon their great use of open-world gameplay, which seems evident in the videos I've been watching. It's just limitless gameplay, and if it's something you enjoy (which I do), it's essentially limitless fun. Combine that with the fact that it controls well, has great visuals, great soundtrack, and from what I've heard a fantastic story, it's bound to be great. Perfect? We'll see. Aside from the obvious gaming journalism bullshit, I'm not entirely shocked it's getting the praise it's getting.

How ya doing, buddy?

Anybody going to any midnight launches? My shitty Best Buy isn't doing one, and I'm not sure if my Wal-Mart is or not, but I'm going to look around. I'm sure GameStop is, but they have a strict "if you didn't reserve the game, you're shit out of luck, because hey that's really fucking smart business" policy.

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

Looks like My Wal-Mart is doing a midnight release for the game, so I will be there. It's sad that in a town with a Circuit City, Best Buy, Target, and TWO GameStops, the only place doing a midnight release is Wal-Mart... Oh well. Regardless, I probably won't play it TOO much tonight, only because I have to work tomorrow, but either way, I'll get some quality time with it for a few hours. I may consider hopping online tonight, will anyone else be on?

I was speaking idiomatically.

The Best Buy website has a list of stores that have midnight launches, but from the sounds of it yours won't have anything anyway.

Gonna be heading to Wally World soon... Only way I'll turn around is if the line is absurd, which it may very well be seeing as it's the only place in town. Wish me luck!

Uh yeah, this game is pretty amazing. The level of detail has already blown me away 2 hours into it. I watched an entire episode of Republican Space Rangers (I think that's what it's called), went bowling, and seen what the relationship system is all about. The phone implementation is brilliant. This game is already wowing me.

Man oh man it feels good to be back in the GTA universe.

FELIPE NO

Should we create a new thread in the multiplayer board to organize/discuss multiplayer games, or just keep it all in here?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The line at midnight was hilariously fucking horrible, though. Every single person there, with the exception of me and the token girlfriend picking it up for someone, it was wall-to-wall fratboy retards. You know the stereotypical audience you imagine when you think of these titles? Yeah, all that. I've probably dropped a solid 30 IQ points or so just being in that line. Ugh.
Lucky... My line was all white trash ICP fans... Ugh. It really says something when the typical gamers in this world are pieces of shit like that and frat boy morons. I miss the good ol' days when it was just losers like us.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There were surprisingly a few girls in my line, but they were mostly skanky girlfriends who were uninterested in their neanderthal boyfriends' interests.

The funnest example of the physics I've discovered is hauling ass on a bike and bailing. You tumble down the street like a Russian bowling ball.

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

Christ, $500 million in one week... That's obscene!

It almost seems unfair to compare it to movie launches, though, since one copy of GTA4 costs 400-500% more than one movie ticket. Still, that's impressive as shit.
