Video & PC Game Discussion

TheProgtologist wrote: The Game Informer issue dedicated to GTAV came out today digitally,and it is full of confirmed info and new screens.Here are a few bullet points about the game,copied and pasted from Kotaku. According to Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos is bigger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined. Yep. There's wilderness, a military base, and even an ocean floor to explore underwater. You can switch between the game's three main protagonists at "nearly any time." Those three protagonists, by the way, are named Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. Michael is a retired bank robber who gets sucked back into crime; Trevor is a career criminal and drug addict; Franklin is a 20-something street hustler. Sometimes they'll work together on missions, during which you can switch back and forth from character to character depending on which part of a given mission you feel like doing. Each character has his own personality, skill set, and group of friends to interact with. And the ones you're not controlling will go off and do their own thing. This is the same world as Grand Theft Auto IV and Liberty City, so you might see some recurring characters from those games (just not the major ones, like Niko Bellic). But. Rockstar says this is the "high-definition" world of Grand Theft Auto, so don't expect to see anyone from the PS2-era titles. Remember those randomized dynamic missions in Red Dead Redemption? They're back forGTAV: expect hitchhikers, muggers, and dead bodies, among others. Yes friendships. No romance. Rockstar says there will be an economy, but you won't be able to buy properties. There will be "loads of other stuff." Here are the three protagonists:

WOW

I downloaded Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Wii for my son, and now he's making me play through the whole thing.    Even though I got both warp whistles from Grass Land and Desert Land and go straight to Boswer's castle and stomp his ass make him fall through the floor.    Ah, nostalgia.

Unfortunately, my son was so excited he sh*t his pants.  Literally. 

Wow this thread is dead.

I got a new keyboard

I finally finished Dragon Quest VIII, now we're moving on to another neat PS2 RPG - Rogue's Galaxy. I'm hoping to buy a copy of Persona 4 soon. What I've played of the Persona series has intrigued me. The mysticism o it, the magic half-realism of it, the tarot, all the blended mythologies and religious characters. I like that sort of thing, especially cast in a contemporary setting (but not too modern because I don't want video games to have facebook and twitter feeds in them, man).

Today I finished AC1 and began playing AC2 and so far the sequel is much better and more fluid.

Same here.  GTA V is a day one purchase for sure!  And I found all of my old Silent Hill games earlier, all of them except for Downpour, so once I finish my second play through of the Mass Effect trilogy, a Silent Hill marathon is going to ensue.

My copy of GI won't arrive for like a week,but expect me to talk about this upcoming game quite a bit in the future.

I'm planning on getting Silent Hill Downpour very soon since I saw that it's on Amazon for $15 brand new!  The only thing holding me back is the fact that I've heard very polarizing things about it.  Most every review I've read either praises it as being "the best SH since SH2" or "more of the same from recent releases", meaning not too good.
