no i don't have either which is strange considering my life used to revolve around videogames - i just haven't made a decision yet

the last thing i bought was a psp in order to play crisis core

i want microsoft to announce built in blu ray support

i don't wanna turn this thread back into a console war thread again either

I thought the samething but the 360 is the way to go.


You think CC still has copies left with the gift card?

Those were the exact same reasons why I was leaning more towards a PS3. Ultimately, the fact that the PS3 has a built in blu-ray player sealed it.

4/30/2008 3:45:04 PM

Yeah, i'm not gonna turn this into a console war thread either. So back to GTA!


is there the ability to customize Nico at all? I did like the ability to change the way CJ dressed in SA. I was the nerd who would change clothes before certain missions. Like a ski mask before the casino heist and shit like that.

I've heard that's somewhere in the pipeline, but can't remember the source.

4/30/2008 3:46:03 PM

you mean besides buying clothes?

4/30/2008 3:46:23 PM

^^it was an april fools joke at the time due to the recent scrapping/firesale of the HD-DVD drives

4/30/2008 3:46:52 PM

well, yeah clothes is what i ultimately meant.

4/30/2008 3:46:58 PM

^^^^yes, you can buy clothes and accessories and you can access them from the safehouse. If you change clothes your date (michelle) will notice too and say something about it.

ViolentMAW

I'd say to keep in mind

- how many of your friends have each console and play online
- which console you personally prefer

GTA4 will be / is dope on both systems

4/30/2008 3:48:42 PM

also keep in mind DLC if thats your thing or not.

4/30/2008 3:50:14 PM

yeah that is a good point. one of my real good friends plays CoD4 on PS3 and i've been wanting to jump on that too

4/30/2008 3:50:59 PM

there is a guy at work who has this game and a ps3 but i don't want to have anything to do with him even in a virtual world

that's pretty sad for him i guess

i've had quite a few people ask me if i have an xbox live account and when i say no they are like wtf - aren't you that guy who used to play videogames 12 hours a day

Shit, you might be right.

I did some googling and there are a number of reports on it from February, but not much more than rumors.

4/30/2008 3:54:10 PM

^^woody i wtf that too sometimes

4/30/2008 3:55:39 PM

i probably got 100% completion on vice city within a week

the first day i got it i played for 12 hours straight without stopping

my friend discovered me in my dazed state towards the end of my binge and still makes fun of me for it

4/30/2008 3:59:27 PM

I'm racking up money, about 18% through the game, but I haven't found much of anything to do with it yet. The only places I can spend money (other than food, taxis, etc) are a gun store that sells two kinds of guns that I already have and a single clothing store that sells stuff that looks like it came from cold war russia, I still can't go into Manhattan or Jersey.

4/30/2008 4:09:20 PM

BLOCKING, how does you do it. I keep hitting A when they throw punches and it is not working.

4/30/2008 4:17:02 PM

And now for a completely unrelated story,

I have done it and countered a few times

I think you have to move when you hit A, use the left analog stick (I think you use the left one)

I don't want to read through this whole thread, but are there any articles regarding this game on 360 vs ps3?

I found one that said it looks better on 360, and another that said the ps3 has better load times(virtually non-existent).

Is this stuff true? Anything else?

actually i'll probably get it for ps3, i cancelled my xbox live subscription recently...

If you are getting it, got it, for the PS3, make sure to post your shit in the PSN ID thread.

4/30/2008 4:46:38 PM

My ps3 is at home, so I'm gonna wait til i get home to get it for the ps3 if that is what i ultimately decide(I go to U of Miami) which is may 9th... that's a long time... but my roommate should get it for the 360 soon.

4/30/2008 4:48:50 PM

4/30/2008 5:16:39 PM

Still can't get counter attacks

and I was only able to stun-punch during the mission. Can't get the target to go red again.

4/30/2008 5:30:49 PM

for what it's worth, I would bet any of you $100 that GTA IV DLC will come out on the PS3 at some point.

4/30/2008 6:04:48 PM

^its worth nothing. move along.

and just so you dont call me a 'fanboy' i'll tell you why...

anyone with both consoles will more than likely buy it on the Xbox360 because of the NOW DLC and LIVE.

anyone with just a PS3 would have bought it on the PS3 already anyway so it makes no difference if DLC becomes available or not. It will not attract any new GTA fans because they already own it on one system or the other

add me to the clan or the halo clan or whatever

cool I guess

what was it before that was so revealing

like your real first and last name and your social or something

4/30/2008 6:24:04 PM

i've played it for about 15 minutes now...just finished the cutscene at the garage...gonna be a good game...i'd prefer if you could walk or jog with pressure sensitive left stick instead of having to hold A to jog but everything else seems pretty sweet so far

4/30/2008 6:33:40 PM

the online networking is shitty

can never get into a game

4/30/2008 6:57:18 PM

I just realized I can't play this game in front of some people. It's too realistic with the murdering.

4/30/2008 6:59:59 PM

well, everyone and their cool mom are trying to be on the network these first few days

it should get better sooner or later

4/30/2008 8:09:38 PM

Just unlocked Manhattan...Algonquin in the game


I guess the Jersey part is all thats still locked for me

About 20 percent in

4/30/2008 8:11:12 PM

i have to stop playin so long after work

makes time off of work fly by fast as hell

4/30/2008 8:13:33 PM

shoulda took a few days off like me

Tho I didnt technically, I just didnt go into the office

4/30/2008 8:16:53 PM

I picked up San Andreas tonight in hopes to stave me off until I could pick up a new console and GTAIV.

I loaded a save that I had made late in the game. It took me awhile to get back into it and while it was fun, I kept thinking about all of you guys with the new game and how much fun you're having. I'll probably play the last portion of San Andreas again just for the hell of it and then finally make my way to GTAIV.
