I got it...Axl Rose is the DJ of the classic rock station. Opie and Anthony are in it too. Seems pretty great so far!

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Sly and Robbie are the DJs of the reggae station...

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:10 (nineteen years ago) link

boo, i have to stop reading this thread now before everything gets spoilersed for me...

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:14 (nineteen years ago) link

You mean Axl Rose IS Axl Rose, or that he plays some unctuous parody of himself?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 00:54 (nineteen years ago) link

(Like there's a difference anymore, ha ha groan.)

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:33 (nineteen years ago) link

(there's a lowrider dance-off segment set to it that works like DDR and FUCKING RULES)

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 05:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I know it's early but are there any reviews online for this yet? Preferrably work safe looking ones without screenfuls of animated gifs and screenshots.

HOLY SHIT! Two player mini-games!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 09:21 (nineteen years ago) link

First nerd in line. I only played for about an hour, then I went to bed. Today I will play for hours when I get home. I have a "doctors appt" and need to leave early.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 09:32 (nineteen years ago) link

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Has anyone been out to the country yet and tuned to the country station? Willie Nelson in a GTA game...awesome.

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:50 (nineteen years ago) link

i'd so be on the country station and Radio X the whole time

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm worried about the frame rate of the game on the PS2, anyone who has played it yet care to comment on this?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:28 (nineteen years ago) link

The game sounds great on my new surround sound. Yeah the frame rate thing doesn't really bother me.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 11:55 (nineteen years ago) link

thats good news, have you learned to swim yet?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah, I only got to play for about 45-60 minutes last night. Just roamed around really.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:41 (nineteen years ago) link

At least falling in the water doesn't automatically kill you now. You can dive down, do a Tomb Raider-type thing, with breath-o-meter and all that. Saw a big turtle and a small dolphin under water after I had drove my Grand Cherokee into one of the rivers.

― 57 7th (calstars), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 13:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I have the game in my bag right now. I can play it when I get back to New Orleans. 6 hours. ARGH.

I didn't notice the Gloria Jones track, that's gonna be pretty surreal.

― M1chael Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ann0yman (Ferg), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 20:48 (nineteen years ago) link

god dammit I already own copies of like half that shit but I'm gonna get the box set anyway. I'm such a loser.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 20:49 (nineteen years ago) link

lol gaymo :[ just make some CDRs!!

― \(^o^)/ (Adrian Langston), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 20:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I still can't believe they actually got Axl ROse in the studio to do voiceovers....it's like getting Brian Wilson circa 77 to do them...

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 21:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah like you can't get him to finish his own fuckin album but you can get him into a studio to do voiceovers for a fictional radio station in a video game, where are that dude's priorities at

― M1chael Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ann0yman (Ferg), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 21:08 (nineteen years ago) link

nb I am looking foward to GTA:SA more than I am looking forward to Chinese Democracy

― M1chael Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ph1lip Ann0yman (Ferg), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 21:09 (nineteen years ago) link

actually i just realized i don't even own HALF of this stuff, even though I SHOULD. i should get the box set!!

― \(^o^)/ (Adrian Langston), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 21:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah the thing is the same the way it was last time around, like I own a LOT of it, but what I don't have is practically impossible to get without spending three or four times as much on out of print albums.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 26 October 2004 21:18 (nineteen years ago) link

how do i know Jodie Shawback?

also, who's on the talkie channel? is it just O&A, or does Lazlow show up?

― Sir Kingfish Beavis D'Azzmonch (Kingfish), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link
