cool

see that main road that goes almost all the way around the map? Yeah, that's where I'll be spending the next 12 months driving around.

So this is all just Los Santos - no san francisco, no vegas.
― pplains, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 15:47 (eleven years ago) link
yeah. idk, i'm cool w/ that i guess. vegas esp looked kind of half-hearted and rushed compared to LA.
― goole, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 15:50 (eleven years ago) link
Well, yeah. Me too.
I'm looking at that map, just thinking inside my head "Red Dead, GTA IV, San Andreas combined..."
― pplains, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 16:05 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah. Obviously it won't be at all, but from this map it feels smaller than GTA:SA. Only one large urban area.

It was always kind of weird that you could ride a bmx bike to San Fierro anyway.

That or the ocean front property in Las Venturas.
― pplains, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 19:08 (eleven years ago) link
Still a great video game memory: riding down main road in San Fierro, bombing along to "Can you feel it?" Amazing game.
I'm alright with urban sprawl if it doesn't feel as boxed/hemmed in as GTA IV. There was a real sense of buildings as fences in that world.

I expect the first "I SAW BIGFOOT!" rumours to start imminently.
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 11 September 2013 11:37 (eleven years ago) link
really hope they put bigfoot in it this time. i wasted so many hours wandering around that shithole, sometimes you'd be waiting ages even to find a car to hijack. though when you did it would often have "i love a rainy night" or "playing with the queen of hearts" already on the radio.

Bloody hell! It's what, 4 times full map of SA? City fits entire map basically.

Booked two days off next week for this, can't remember last time I did that for a game.

don't think i've ever done that before. i'm actually not sure i've ever bought a new game on or around its release date before.
― sleepingbag, Friday, 13 September 2013 05:08 (eleven years ago) link

No days off but I work from home. It's going to be tough to resist

other games about organized crime, like Saints Row, have managed to incorporate playable female characters without losing fans or castrating their male audience.
am kind of reluctant to praise Saints Row for its representation of women, tbh

Anyone want an ILG crew for the online stuff? I think crews carry over from Max Payne 3 actually, so maybe there's one already?

Unable to decide whether foolish to pre-order. Can get it with Brady Ganes guide on Amazon but not with guarantee of delivery.
Genuinely at a loss about this, haven't bought a new new game in years...

Hangover from when I only had a desktop and console downstairs to save running up to check anything when at wits end finding items in GTA:SA.
