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.

Haters-gonna-hate • 15 minutes ago −I swear they paid this BIIIITCH to give it a 10. There's NO WAY this piece of junk is a 10/10. A whoooore with a stupid name (Keza? really?) doesn't know what a good game is. FUCKKK YOU KEZA YOU MONEY WHOOOORE! PEOPLE LIKE YOU SELL THEIR OWN PATHETIC PUSSIESSSS, YOU FUCKINNNNNG BIIIIITCH.

― goole, Monday, 16 September 2013 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
refusing to watch the vid so I'm talking out my ass a little bit wrt the realism or otherwise of this torture, but I've seen it likened in places to the 'No Russian' mission from whichever COD that was, and I was always kinda ok about just playing through that level and not thinking about it. Not sure if this makes me a moral derelict or just reflects how little basis I feel these games actually have in real life, even now
― Third Rate Zoo Keepers With Tenth Rate Minds (Windsor Davies), Monday, 16 September 2013 22:19 (eleven years ago) link
they make a minigame of h jon benjamin pulling out a bound man's tooth with a pair of pliers and it appears to take quite some time and is followed up with a fratboy "torture doesn't really work" bullshit cop-out so I don't think Rockstar are trying to have you pretend you're not doing what you're doing. based on my understanding of the franchise and of the surrounding material this isn't some specops the line "are you not entertained" ish either. i think it is what it is and what it is is a realistic minigame where you pull out a bound man's tooth with a pair of pliers which leads to another guy making an azerbaijani/azervagina joke so everyone who's buying this should probably know that up front.
the majority of the commenters on that eurogamer article are primarily complaining about spoilers so i can't imagine it'll matter one way or another

I'm not sure anything you can do in this or any other GTA game will ever come close to touching the evil that was in my soul the day I plugged Mordin in the back during Mass Effect 3. Now that shit was harrowing

seems fun as hell so far, few niggly crap bits like the dog-training and the tow-truck missions and the shooting range stuff that get in the way of actual gameplay (& fun). can't imagine the stock market stuff is much better. minor moans though, so far seems a ton more enjoyable than the relentless misery of gta4 (not incl the 2 great dlc games).
― NI, Tuesday, 17 September 2013 03:36 (eleven years ago) link
I liked the look of the stock market stuff! But then again I play games like SimCity.
