That's supposed to be coming out on the same day as San Andreas, I believe.

It's in the style of the old GTA games from what I've read.

Rando picked this up today, which was a very pleasant surprise. I figured it would be constantly sold out for the next few weeks. Though I loved the soundtrack of Vice City and its gameplay style, I thought it was too difficult early on and pretty much gave up. San Andreas is definitely easier to get into. I've done a few story missions and am currently messing around looking for tags to spray and occasionally running over people for $$$. One interesting aspect of this game is that you have to feed your character and do tasks to improve your stats and skills. For instance, you can go to the gym and lift weights to make C.J. stronger and more muscular. (You do have to keep returning, though, otherwise your muscularity starts to decrease...just like in real life. )

So the game has a moral message as well - go to the gym or you get fat! XD

My friend's probably going to be hanging out in the pool halls. That's his game of choice.

To keep your bodyfat low, you also have to eat the right kind of food. Picking the salad meal (which also happens to be more expensive than most of the other stuff at the fast food joint) usually does the trick.

I haven't even come across a pool hall yet, and I've driven all over the first city to fill in the map. Then again, maybe I'm just not looking around enough...and some mission or another will probably show me where one is. I'm currently on a mission where you have to do multiple drive-bys while keeping your car from getting completely shot up. Once I get the hang of sticking around just long enough so my buddies can kill the targets, it should be easier. I got creamed the first time because I really didn't know what I was doing.

Serves 'em right for imposing such strict measures on the release of San Andreas. Retailers in the UK have had to cancel their midnight openings because Take Two thinks that it is a breach of the street date. This has meant mass rebranding for HMV and various other retailers.

This is only the beginning. There are tonnes of other crappy tasks they've given to retailers. If you don't obey, you don't get re-orders for GTA.

Some retailers who broke the street date for previous titles won't even recieve any stock for another week.


Yep, the industry is now the publisher's bitch.

Most of them aren't as high-profile as Vice City (Although Rare probably rivals Rockstar in terms of crappy beta testing. See Battletoads, DK64).

I said MOST games. Besides, that doesn't change the fact that their attitute towards THEIR bug in THEIR game was "we're not fixing it."

And I suppose Rockstar aren't really a terrible company. But for awhile, they had a lot of non-GTA games that received an inordinate amount of hype because "d00d itz rawk* automatik gaem of teh year!11!11" and turned out to be...not very good upon release. State of Emergency comes immediately to mind.

And the industry has pretty much always been the publisher's bitch, at least here in the States. The FCC found Nintendo guilty of price-fixing practices in the late-80s/early-90s. The punishment? The FCC basically told them "sell more games!" Well, not quite, but they made Nintendo offer $5 off coupons to customers, which amounted to pretty much the same thing.
