Russian guy (Or guy w/ obviously russian accent) in New York. It could be Liberty city, but I unmistakably saw Times Square and the Statue of Liberty.

Unless you REALLY have to see it right now I wouldn't bother. The site is hammered and not working at all for the moment.

Life is complicated. I have killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here things will be different.

Looks very nice too, gonna be a hell of a game. It'll definitely be the reason I buy a PS3.

It's also being released on the 360 at the same time.

Mine's about halfway loaded from gamevideos. I'll wait 'til it's done to play it at all.

Final thing needed for me to buy a 360. (Wasn't gonna take much more, honestly.)

I have not disliked a GTA since I first played III and this will be no different. One of the few series I have complete faith in them putting out a good game for.

It is Liberty City, you can see Liberty on the side of the Ferry and other places like the "TimeSquare" type area.

San Andreas was lousy and boring

Your opinion.

I, personally, thought it was just as good as Vice City. Vice City had the better story which made it on the whole better, but I like a lot of the new mechanics added in San Andreas.

Maybe you just don't like black people.

I thought the story was weird. It was really serious up until you left San Andreas and headed towards San Fiero when things got goofy and funny. Then after going to Los Venturas and returning back to San Andreas was just really weird how the story was never consistent. I still think it was a really fun game though.

I love black people!

I just hated how the missions were repetitive, and the graphics seemed chunky and unpolished.

as far as new mechanics go, eating was nothing but an irritant, and once you worked out so much you never had to work out again, and there was no point to being fat. The gang war system was basically a single-player grindfest.

No goodies to find out in the environment. No rampages, no icons of any kind, hardly any weapons secreted away. Pretty lousy imo.

GTA sucks. It is a horrible game with horrible controls and I have no idea why any of you even remotely consider it fun. WOW YOU CAN KILL A HOOKER AND THEN TAKE HER MONEY AND STEAL CARS, HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

Yes, that is my official opinion.
No, you do not need to attempt to change my mind, because I am well aware that I am in the minority, and most likely just don't "get it."

VC was cool because of, among other things, Brown Thunder. San Andreas was awesome because you had a larger area to go balls out when doing Brown Thunder.

I actually liked the Gang Wars. Once you take everything over, it's a nice little moneymaker.

I didn't even realize you could pick up a hooker until Vice City.

ACES! Another post by Mr. Gainsborough:

FF7 had a pretty awful ending. The story stopped being interesting 3/4 through the 2nd disc. It just seemed to drag on unnecessarily.

Plus, the Materia system was a gayed up version of the Magicite system.

Mr. Gainsborough painfully thought these words up:
Can you bash Halo and FF7 while you're at it?

San Andreas had poor pacing, missions were very hit or miss, and the map was too big for its own good. It wasn't a terrible game, but Rockstar really just tried to put too much in the game and it watered down all the good content.

Halo had the fucking shitty Library and felt half finished with the all the reused level content. Again, not a bad game, but it was terribly overhyped and Bungie was probably in over its head.

FF7 had shitty mess of a story and boring combat. If it wasn't for Aeris' death (how deep!), the carrot of FMV videos, and Sephiroth appealing to weaboos, the game would not be remembered. Actually, a correction. If it wasn't the first major RPG on the PS1, it wouldn't be remembered.

I don't understand why people hated the game after that level.

I thought Halo was a fairly boring and mediocre game until I got to the library, then I loved it.

I'm in Maradon's position in that I thought all of Halo was pretty fucking shitty aside from the first three or four minutes of the Library.

Those three minutes were an interesting change of pace. The other fifty seven of them were fucking agony.

Halo was nothing special. I wouldn't say it sucked, but it was definitely way overhyped.

Final Fantasy VII was fun and I freaking love the game, but quite frankly Talonus isn't far off at all.

Fuck GTA. It takes me longer to whack off than to get bored of the newest one.

I just finished watching the trailer and I don't think there is anything special about it. Sure, it's pretty to look at but with no indication of what the game play or story is going to be like, I'm not holding my breath.
