I can't believe it's coming so soon, tuesday is only 3 days away!

So when will you guys pick up your copy?
And what's the first thing you'll do in your game?

Personallly I can't play it till next weekend, but I'll just drool at the box in the mean time.

 

[SolidSnakex]

"So when will you guys pick up your copy?"

Monday night.

"And what's the first thing you'll do in your game?"

Find water and dive in.

 

[Barnimal]

the non hype for this game is kinda eerie. i'm renting it. VCs city layout kinda left a bad taste in my mouth after the supreme layout of liberty city. If san andreas is built for chaos, then i'll buy. a looming xbox version makes it hard though.

 

[Littleberu]

Bah... there's like 4-5 topic already.

GTA doesn't need hype. It's earned its props already

 

[Kon Tiki]

Everyone remember to pick up GTA:A on the same day.

 

[Mrbob]

You can finally swim?

Wait till Tuesday. Whenever info is tight it is hard to hype a game. Please to a degree we already know what to expect. This should be the biggest, baddst GTA of them all. In contrast, it's amazing how much hype Halo 2 has received considering how little we know about it. Really an exception.

GTA:A? Grand Theft Auto: Anal? Grand Theft Auto: Ass?

 

[SolidSnakex]

You can finally swim?

Yep. Check out the new IGN movie where CJ flies a helicopter low to water and then dives out and swims up to a boat to get into.

 

[Kon Tiki]

GTA:A? Grand Theft Auto: Anal? Grand Theft Auto: Ass?

 

[Mrbob]

I was watching the Screen Savers last night (Not as good with the old cast but still halfway decent. Almost too angsty now but better than nothing.) and I saw a commercial where TechTV is gonna be GTA TV on Tuesday. All programs will be GTA related?? I dunno. Not exactly sure what it all entails.

 

[acklame]

same thing

j/k, but I want a portable 3D GTA....

 

[Pedigree Chum]

I'm currently jerking off to the OPM review scans.

 

[mashoutposse]

Anyonw know if there are going to be a lot more pedestrians on the streets this time around? GTA3 was excellent in this regard (VC dropped the ball here).

 

[Mrbob]

Wait for PSP.

You know it's coming.

 

[Coin Return]

does anyone know if they took out the exploit where you can tap "X" forever and keep sprinting?

 

[Littleberu]

Anyonw know if there are going to be a lot more pedestrians on the streets this time around? GTA3 was excellent in this regard (VC dropped the ball here).

Prepare to be let down with San Andreas. There's a lot less traffic this time, but it depends on the time of the day. There's a lot more at 7:00 PM than at the beginning of the game.

does anyone know if they took out the exploit where you can tap "X" forever and keep sprinting?

It's part of the controls now. It's a new ability.

 

[TekunoRobby]

"So when will you guys pick up your copy?"
Monday at 7pm.

"And what's the first thing you'll do in your game?"
Make my character look like Steve Urkel.

 

[mashoutposse]

Damn The riot code was a blast in GTA3 for that very reason.

Ahh so that is how they made the animation better and got the framerate higher.

 

[Littleberu]

Ahh so that is how they made the animation better and got the framerate higher.

Yep. But it depends really. From what I've read about it, there are very crowded place in Los Santos, but also very deserted area.

And people aren't in Los Venturas yet, so we'll have to wait. But the odds are that it's a lot more crowded.

 

[acklame]

do you start off in LA?
can you go to SF immediately or do you have to do missions and stuff

 

[dskillzhtown]

Sounds like the game is grounded with a bit more reality this time.

 

[Littleberu]

You can, but you'll be chased down by police. A lot of them. You start in Los Santos, which is like Los Angeles. Then you go to San Fierro.

 

[Sein]

Will the game have portable radios so that I can listen to music on foot?

 

[Ranger X]

I'll buy that first thing.... after work ;(
And first thing i'm gonna do is die in awesomeness!

 

[belgurdo]

Fuck Speech and Spanish class, I'll be taking a "sick day" on Wednesday to pick this mother up

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

"So when will you guys pick up your copy?"

Monday night.

"And what's the first thing you'll do in your game?"

My exact post
nice

 

[Littleberu]

The first thing I'll do, or I'll try to do, is find that damn Combine Harvester and drive on some Hippies.

 

[Ranger X]

Holy shit, totally forgot about this one! I wanna take that thing in a crowdy street and watch the arms and legs fly off everywhere in the screen! lol

 

[Littleberu]

Holy shit, totally forgot about this one! I wanna take that thing in a crowdy street and watch the arms and legs fly off everywhere in the screen! lol

Or better : Jump off Mount Chilliad with the BMX. Oh god.

 

[Goreomedy]

Picking mine up Monday, if all works out.

First thing I'll do, drive to the Beach and try out a dance competition mini-game.

This'll be the only game I purchase this season. Heck, it should last me well into the spring. No other franchise gives you so much bang for the buck.

 

[Littleberu]

Oh, and maybe I'll try those console games OPM talked about.

 

[Ranger X]

Or better : Jump off Mount Chilliad with the BMX. Oh god.

Mount Chilliad is going to be my favorite place i'm sure. SO MANY things you can trow down...
Imagine also to look at those big 20 wheels trucks smashing down the mountain hmmm...

 

[Littleberu]

[image showed how to pimp your ride... but I can't show it... because it's from the leak... and it's bad for the board... or something like that...]

Awesome, really.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Awesome, really.

If a cop blows up my pimped ride, I will slaughter the entire SA police department.

 

[bishoptl]

*ahem* where did you get that photo, Littleberu?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

*ahem* where did you get that photo, Littleberu?

oh shit.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Run beru, RUN

 

[PhatSaqs]

Bannededed

 

[Goreomedy]

But, really, how long can he run with a 5 star rating?

 

[belgurdo]

Littleberu
banned

 

[Littleberu]

*ahem* where did you get that photo, Littleberu?

Dunno. Gamefaqs. Or maybe it was mIRC... Not mine anyway. Why?

And cmon, game's out in 2 days!

Edit : OH ok, I can't post screens of San Andreas? But I can post Famitsu scan and such? BAH!! I'll edit my post then.

 

[Nameless]

I've made myself oblivious to any of the soundtrack information on purpose, so the first thing I will do is cruise around listenign to music, and see all the crazy 'going-ons".

 

[acklame]

Littleberu cancelled?!?!!

how come everyone is getting their copy on monday :| I called gamestop and they said tuesday....

 

[Goreomedy]
