Now all I have to do is wait for the game to come out on Tuesday :P

Anyone else picking this game up? I personally can't wait for this one.

Why can't we vote today?

I have no friggen clue - I thought I set it up to go from today --> 1 week and not tomorrow --> forever.

it's pre-ordered at gameplay, won't be here until next friday or saturday, but it will be here. and if it sucks, i'm going to beat rick with it

I think I'm the only person not looking forward to this at all.

I mean, I played through GTAIII and VC, where's the incentive to do it all again?

They also seem to have put in a bunch of pointless things like getting fat if you eat unhealthily, where's the incentive to eat the unhealthy food then? If that's all the effect it has, then what's the point of putting it in, ubless it's a token educational thing, which in a game like this is pretty lame.

The other thing is the focus on the hip-hop/rap gang culture which is a total turn-off for me

im pretty pumped. Just as pumped as i was for VC, which i think that i'll play this one til about an hour in and stop playing - which happened with vice city.

Dunno though, Dr. Dre AND Guns n' Roses in the same game?!?! i think i may wear my old flannel shirts when i play this one.

Soul_Reaper if you go fat you start to run out of stamina fast and people laugh at you.

I'm still very unsure as to whether I'll be buying it or not. I may get it once it hits PC, but Like I said, I'm unsure. Because I too am not a fan of the whole Gangsta' Culture. I need to look into it more, though the ability to swim seems to be something nice.

Yeah I know, but what I meant was that if that's the only effect of eating 'bad' food, why would anyone do it?

It seems completely pointless

put my preorder in nearly a month ago (along with my preorder for Halo 2)... I've been offered to play both by a now ex-friend who I no longer respect. Gonna be able to pick up GTA:SA after work on monday! can't.friggin.wait!

I got home last night (back to Leeds) and played it for about an hour. I just drove around going "I built him!", "I built her!"

GTA = LGE (lamest game evar)

Edit: Just my oppinion about the gameplay... to prevent any flamewars here [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You need to eat to keep your character going. The fast food outlets will be situated far more conveniently and frequently that whatever they have as alternative. Simple.

i played gta 3 and loved it, when VC came out i was not interested in it, it looked more like a mod than a proper sequel , and this one here seems the same to me. i'm not buying the same game3 times just because its placed in another area, no offense to the people working on it, i'm sure it looks great and all

VC was more or less a mod, this one is a true sequel.

I don't have PS2 so I'll be waiting for the PC version. The PC version always looks better anyway, and I like being able to play my own music while playing the games.

Also, I actually enjoy running the story missions in the GTA games. And also just exploring the environments. What has me interested in San Andreas are the fact that there are 3 new cities instead of just one and also you can drive between the cities. Honestly, the whole thug/hip-hop thing is also a turn-off to me but not enough so that I won't enjoy the game. Especially since I'll mostly likely be playing my own tunes while cruisin' around.

on the whole 'thug' theme... ironically, the 'era' SA's set in is the same 'era' of rap music I still enjoy... the 'ghetto gansta' setting may offend or annoy some, but I definitely think it's a worthwhile deviation from the Italian mob theme.. and finally, about the location... California loooooove~ (yah, guess what state I live in [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )..

Not a fan of the theme either but i bet it will be tons of fun. And i hope Lazlow still has some metal station cause one thing i cant listen to is rap music and if there is no Lazlow atall then im gonna be one pissed off customer.

I've got it on order, I love the gta games [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Where's my poll option, "I'll buy it when its on Xbox" ?? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

And it isn't entirely this "thug" them you're all speaking off. The majority of the story is based around it yes, but not the game in its entirety.

And I'd still like Elite-style freeform gameplay in GTA. Real consequences and the choice to stay legal while still reeling in profits. Of course that wouldn't go down well with the majority of the "crazy stunts and killing random people" crowd.

Word. We just got our copies of the GBA GTA today. About to boot it up now. Thats 3 new GTA games in under a week.
