GTA 4

Any one else got it?   Just been playing it for 7.5 hours.    

It is good...
Mamodman123

You need to get out more

   
pauly

not yet but I have heard that when you steal a car you actually have to hot wire it and the first 10 people to complete it get a key to the city a sort of super cheat

I can think of the Steam Toys that the price of that game could buy. Wait 6 months and it will be cheap. Like all Video games, they cost a lot when they first come out, wait till the initial slaes surge is over with and it will get discounted.

Yes there is a PC game I want (only buy one or two a year now) but its only been out about 3 months, need to wait another 3 to 6 before I will get it for the price I want.
Can't bring myself to spend $90 to $100 on a game as I think for 7 games I could get myself a nice mill for my workshop.

But I must admit this week to of been suffering from the gaming urge and after installing several of my old games back on my PC I've ended up back with civ IV.

You're only saying that because theres no place to put a burner tray on a 360 as standard and it doesn't run on meths! If it was steam powered I bet you'd buy one straight away!

Which one is heavier? Either way they'd still both make useful doorstops!

i ment the old computer system amiga    
James

ooo thought you meant Amoeba  
mc_mc

Nah,  you're all just jealous.  

I've booked another day off work to keep on playing.   (yes I am very sad).


Unfortunately the multiplayer stuff is down at the moment.   Too many people have bought the game today and crashed the servers.  But it's no problem, just concentrating on the single player mode at the moment.

Oh gosh I want to make a witty remark about that remark James, but know better
James

When I were reading out loud in year 7 Biology I substituted the word organism for a word that sounds like that quite frequently without realising  
pauly

I cant wait for the prices to drop in the meantime my best mate has it.

I once stayed off school to play sanandras when it came out.
redryder

I know little about these games.
Does gta4 require a 360 or ps3?
How about a ps2 or a PC?

Gil

It hit the US market today and they planned well so there is to be no shortage with this launch.

either a 360 or PS3

They may launch it on Pc at a later date...

I'd like it, but I don't have a machine to run it on, and also I'm a bargain bin shopper for games so will be a while  
mc_mc

Yep I've took the day off today,  but I've also done some gardening, took a parcel to the post office am going out for lunch.   This afternoon is going to be some serious gaming with my mate.

I would have to say this is the best game I've ever played.  And I've had a C64,  Amiga,  PS1, PS2 + PC so it's got stiff competition.

I've done 13% of the story line missions so far.    

The online multiplayer is now working again too.  

If you compare the cost of the game against the amount of time I'll end up playing on it, I'm sure it works out very cheap.      

One of the goals in this version is to shoot 200 'flying rats'  aka  pigeons.  
steamyman

is this game anything like "Saints Row"   I played that on Xbox360.

It was ok.

No nintendo games at all or Sega?? That'll be why then  

True about the hours gameplay though! some games only last a week, it should have a load of re-play value!
mc_mc

No never had a Nintendo or Sega.  

I forget to mention that I had 'Pong' and then an Atari 2600.

Much better than GTA

Unfortunately some of those who do something like that are those  who have been playing these games too long at too young an age. Some have become desensitized to the horrific truth about the behavior glorified and rewarded in the game. There is no denying this.

Quite agree!

The age ratings are there for a reason, but at the end of the day you should know between right and wrong, real and fantasy!

It has gotten the best reviews of any game so far, only had 1 9.5/10. The rest are perfect. I have been playing it for a sum total of easily 24 hours over the past...48 hours.

I have been playing the gta series for quite some time, but i would never steal a car or kill someone. Sure i have joked around with my friends saying "I would steal that ferrari right there" But i wouldn't actually.

Quite right its not the games fault if someone who plays it steals a car or shoots someone they do it because they made the choice to I have been playing grand theft auto for years and you dont see me jacking traction engine do you

I seem to remember that Manhunt game sturring up quite a storm!

dont you mean stupid monkey see stupid monkey do

you would have to be a complete idiot to let the game dictate your behaviour like that unless its a little kid which in that case they shouldnt have been sold the game in the first place.

Unfortunately not an idiot, normal people try to copy these games, people underestimate what influence a computer game can have on an individual..... Good or bad..
