October Wrasslin' |OT| Running around in our underwear making ugly faces

hated the main character in VC, but the city was great.

felt opposite about SA... :$

Started V today, somewhat enjoying it. I can see myself losing interest eventually though.

Both Vice City and San Andreas were DOPE AS FUCK when they came out. They suffer from time like pretty much all games from the PS2/GC/Xbox era. Shitty cameras and clunky controls make a lot of your favorite games unplayable today. But in their time, both were excellent and fun as fuck.

SA is still the best GTA. No contest.

Amen.

It's GTA V.

God no. It's bigger, but emptier. Prettier, but much more devoid of creativity.
And the game's full of GTA IV's shitty satire/plot, except it's even weaker and Rockstar embedded it into the gameplay. "No player rewards because recession and debt and crime doesn't pay lol"
(No real spoilers, but saw Harlequin's post and didn't want to risk it.)

I consider myself lucky. I'm impervious to "poorly aging" games. I can still play shit like Goldeneye multiplayer at 8fps no problem. Same goes for the PS2 GTA games. While I just play Vice City and San Andreas on PC now, just earlier this year I played GTA III for the first time... on PS2. I had a lot of fun with it!

There was a radio station in that game that just played the Scarface soundtrack on loop. Incredible.

I never had issues playing old MGS, RE, or GTA games. I mean there are games with bad controls, but these aren't one of them.

It feels that people just don't want to bother adapting to older control schemes, and end up calling them unplayable or some shit. Makes me sad.

It's generally mostly bad cameras that kill me. Especially inverted camera control. It makes everything suck.

Inverted controls in old games are definitely some bullshit.

In the first Devil May Cry, the flying sections had inverted y-axis AND x-axis. And there wasn't even an option to change that shit. My brain could absolutely not work with that. Fucking Kamiya.

San Andreas' camera isn't too bad, not as terrible as Vice City's, where the right analogue stick puts the game in first person.

**The WWE has signed five performers to developmental deals with WrestleZone first reporting that Sunny Dhins, Gionna Daddio, Dustin Mueller, Zahra Schreiber and Josh Woods have signed deal. Schreiber had been training under Truth Martini and Jimmy Jacobs and Jacobs confirmed the signing earlier this week in an interview with Bryan Alvarez of F4Wonline.

Hey Nocturnowl, why do you keep looking up. Spikes not in heaven, IT'S IN HELL!!!

It took me hours to recover and respond to this post as I couldn't take the cheap heat.

Woah, HiaC is tonight? how thoroughly unexciting, here's the one good thing I can say, at last the Cell is hosting an actual grudge match.
Of course I'm referring to Cena/Orton, the biggest rivalry in modern WWE history, and now with that jest I just remembered their awful TLC and Rumble matches within the last 12 months, blech.

Prediction time
The hype for the PPV is so low it may surprise people with its mediocrity, what a treat!
That's all you're getting.

I think Cena vs. Orton will get a good live reaction. They had a mediocre TLC match in Texas last year and the crowd loved it. It's a shame to say it, but even if it goes on last, the live audience will be into it. Rollins vs. Ambrose is about ten thousand times more deserving of the spot.

I think itllbe a good show tonight. If you go into it looking for things to dislike, you'll definitely find them, but Zigs vs. Cesaro, World's Shittiest Giant vs. Rusev and Ambrose vs. Rollins will all be good. The tag match and Mizdow will also likely be decent.

It's funny because everyone complains about GTA IV's bad controls, but they act like Red Dead Redemption is a game of the generation. Even though they control basically the exact same.
I'm going to go see John Wick instead of watch HIAC live

Good choice. I await your 'people like this so i don't' review

I'm going in with reasonable expectations. It looks pretty dope.

Don't worry, gaf will stop updating thread titles once the bad reviews come in.

I don't know if it's an amazing action movie, or if I was just happy to see an action movie that didn't involve superheroes. And it hasn't gotten to Raid circlejerk levels yet, but I fear that it might.

fuuuccckkkk that forum, too.

nothing but a buncha dweebs with porn star signatures after every post, and this guy who draws like three butt ugly webcomics.


Though this one poster claimed to have been Max Landis' college girlfriend and had reasonable proof of it, that was pretty interesting.

When it was WC, several of the mods and admins that are still there threw themselves at a female poster on the regular. Was funny.

Yeah but the Dead Eye system basically saved the shooting and the 'driving' controls don't matter as much when your riding a horse through a empty wilderness instead of driving a sports car through a busy street.

LEGITSHOOK.COM PRESENTS



WWF IN YOUR HOUSE 4: THE GREAT WHITE NORTH



  • Fatu vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley
  • Smoking Gunns vs 123 Kid/Razor Ramon WWF Team Championships
  • Marty Jannetty vs Goldust
  • Yokozuna vs King Mable
  • Dean Douglas vs Razor Ramon WWF Intercontinental Championship
  • Diesel vs British Bulldog WWF Championship

That's right, a Canadian PPV without Bret or Owen on it. Bret was a guest commentator for the main event, though. In fact, he was the best part of the main event. From his passive aggressive insults of Bulldog's sharpshooter, to both Diesel and Bulldog punking him out for no reason. Without him, it really would have been a bore. Goldust makes his long awaited debut and shits the bed. It's pretty clear that he didn't spend much time in the ring or gym in between being fired from WCW and this match. His body suit A. Was very unflattering and B. Seemed to be bothering him the entire match. His gloves were too big and he was constantly adjusting them. He still had wrestling style cowboy boots. He didn't do any of the sexual harassing we've all come to know and love from the character. Instead, he wrestled pretty much like a heel Dustin Rhodes, against an apparently injured Marty Jannetty, and the two had no chemistry. I don't think you'd expect Goldust to be around 19 years later better than ever after that debut. There is also a surprise Kanyon Cutter OUTTA NOWHERE on this show. BANG!
