And it seems my copy of Turok arrived yesterday for the PC. I'm expecting to install this beast, which is on 2 fucking DVD's, and then be seriously disappointed.

I've heard the graphics are shit and the gameplay is mediocre but mildly entertaining.

They better get the PS3 game servers up for GTA IV before I ship off or I will shit some bricks.

Mario Kart for the Wii is a blast.

I bought an Xbox360 yesterday morning.

Bought 2 games:
-GTA4
-Beautiful Katamari

they both kick ass!

 

[Guthrum]

They finally fixed the GTA4 servers for PS3, HELL YEAH!!

 

[EricT]

I'm still waiting for the fucking MGSO beta servers to work...

This is pissing me off. I spent literally 2 days downloading shit for that after I got my disc and key, and then none of the servers work... then they send an email telling us its a go, then I spend 40 minutes setting up 2 different fucking accounts for some reason (why they wanted that, no idea), just for the servers to be unreachable again.

Fuck these cocksuckers.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Xbox tbh.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

so how is GTA 4 really, is it that stratospherically better than san andreas?

 

[Demilich]

I didn't play San Andreas as much as the earlier GTA3s, but yes.

Last night I hit the point where the story took a twist and the game really started to sink its teeth into me.

 

[Guthrum]

GTA4 is defiintely the best one so far, and with multiplayer, it's possibly the best game I have ever played. I couldn't stop laughing when I played with just rocket launchers or molotov cocktails in free mode.

 

[dorian gray]

I couldnt find GTA4 today so I bought Call of Duty 4 instead.

just bought GTA4 at Walmart. Holy shit theres some stupid mother fuckers in Walmart at 1am

 

[dorian gray]

shame on you for shopping at WalMart

 

[Demilich]

I bought paintballs at Walmart yesterday

but the guy who worked there in the sports/hardware department (who was actually really nice and not too dumb!) told me their shit was overpriced and that I should go to a paintball store to get gas and a mask

 

[lurch70]

i never stepped foot in a Walmart ... ever ... don't even know where is one

 

[dorian gray]

that's awesome. We buy food at a Super WalMart when we go to Florida because it's the only grocery store within 20 miles. The only other time was when I tried to buy some ammo for my handgun and they sold me the wrong size. I mean, how hard is that? You should've seen the look on the manager's face when I came back for a refund. He was like, "uhm, it's kinda illegal to return ammunition" and I said, "well, I'm not leaving until I get my money back, sooo....."

 

[lurch70]

... did you have your gun with you at the time?

 

[dorian gray]

LOL it was tempting - to make sure the cartrdiges fit (it's an unusual caliber) - but I thought that might be a bad idea

 

[grazim]

Well, part of responsibly owning a gun is knowing what kind of ammo it eats... Shame on you, I'd say.
