Re: GTA IV: GameTavern's Impressions

Well made my choice.
And went with Mario Kart first.
GTA when I get paid on Friday and really didn't want to hunt this thing down.
Went to buy during a short break line was like 15 mins long.

Want to know why the line is 15 minutes long?
It's fucking amazing.

Oh god it's true. I can't stop playing this game... I've been playing for most of today and I finally just decided to take a break for a little bit.

Re: GTA IV: GameTavern's Impressions

Hey guyz! So when does this come out for PC?

Re: GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

Family Video didnt have it yet, of course. Maybe I'll try again in a few days.

What the hell BaB.

Well, Mario Kart IS pretty good. But GTAIV is like the perfect game. There's no competition.

There was a multitude of reason.

But the biggest being there is some funny business going on with my bank account right now. So I played it safe and got the cheaper of the two games.

I was ready to get them both today.

Re: GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

Come on BaB, I risked not being able to pay rent for May by buying this.
I'm from the streets, y'all.

As long as you get the game, and as long as you get it relatively soon.

Although Wiikart does look pretty good.
And any time you can race a monkey and a dinosaur against eachother in teeny-tiny little cars, that's pretty fantawesome.

That sucks ass, I got lucky because my finals finished yesterday so I'm free to play as much GTA as I want (except for when I have to work).

Also, this game doesn't stop being fucking amazing! I'm having the best damn time playing it.

Re: GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

well bought it last night and it's damn good. I was watching tv for like 15 minutes and they had the standup comedy and Bas Rutten for that Mens Room thingo. I thought it was gonna be a gay porn flick

Controls are much tighter, especially the fighting. Visuals are amazing. There is way too much to do, i dunno where to start. Anyways I haven't felt this good since mario galaxy, so finally a game I can enjoy.

As for Mario Kart....i'll be putting that on hold for a while, I can only play one game at a time.

Instead of having to help him fight, I had to pick him up from the Hospital. It still made me do the "Help him" mission, but the character was all "Thanks for not being busy with a girl this time, eh" and stuff like that. I thought that was pretty cool.

I did it the other way. I had literally just pulled up to Michelle's door when I get the call from Roman, so I ditch the date unannounced and go bail him out. Right after I got for the date and the chick is all like "Why couldn't you come last time?"

And Niko is all "Roman, uh...got eento some trobble"

The big step from the last games to this is that this game so closely emulates real life that it borders on insane. It's all in the details, I tell ya.

I found myself on a five minute police chase today which started as innocently as me hucking a cup of coffee at an innocent pedestrian. Little did I know a cop was very near. He gets me to put my hands behind my head and as soon as he's about to make a grab for me I bolt across the street, dodging bullets, into a local amusement park. I hop two fences and end up on an on-ramp with to police cars in hot pursuit. I run for my life as the gain on me in their cars. Then another cop car pulls in from the other side, cornering me completely. With nowhere else to go, I hop over the edge of the on-ramp, praying the drop isn't too far. Luckily, subway tracks were ready to greet me not so far between where I jumped off and the ground.I land on the tracks and begin running as policemen yell at me from the on-ramp. I eventually lose my wanted stars and jump of the tracks a good 20-30 to the ground below. After I land, a pedestrian stops, points at me and yells something to the effect of "Holy crap, dude!".

It was then I realized that I had the biggest figurative boner ever.

Re: GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

I watched a friend play it for about 10 minutes today and I was just laughing and in awe of everything that was happening...It was pretty amazing and I didn't even touch the controller! I wish I had a next-gen, but I don't know if I can fork over the dough right now.

Re: GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

So are some of you ready to hail this as the greatest game ever made?
