the lowriders and the street-racers are pretty good customized, I like the subura lookalike with its similar rally counterpart customization.

but they just get trashed too soon and I end up just keeping them in my garage.

Mind you, doing laps around San Fierro airport is quite fun in a race circuit type way.

The only accessories I got is my blunt and my gat...

so rat a tat tat ::MAKES GANG SIGNS::

and some flame decals whenever I get a lowrider near accessories. CHildish but FUN

wtf j00 talkin bout kv_nol??? sanchez pwnz teh nrg!!! even teh bf-400 is teh better! It's got so much more muscle than the NRG, even if it's not as fast, it feels like it's got better handling and it's a TEH MAN'Z BIKE, NOT A GRRRLY BIKE LIKE TEH NRG, MANG.

christ, who's dressed Carl in those pics?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 16 March 2006 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Are they pedal-pushers he's wearing?

NRG for concrete, Sanchez for countryside.

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Friday, 17 March 2006 00:50 (twenty years ago)

bf-400 looks like old batbike know what I'm sayin foo'?

I'd forgotten the sanchez. Fun but not as AWESOME AND FAST AS THE NRG!

Favourite car: the tank. I wonder if you can bring it out on dates. Think of the jokes about big cannons that could be made. A real way of filling those awkward moments...

Oh, that's bigger than I thought

― Greig (treefell), Monday, 20 March 2006 12:02 (twenty years ago)

That's what she etc.!

― c(''c) (Leee), Monday, 20 March 2006 18:13 (twenty years ago)

last night: exploring the carpark under the police station in (i think) san fierro, accidentally came across 2 cops brutalising a suspect, instantly scored 2 Stars of trouble, and was attacked by said cops... had i spooked some cops from their illegal brutalisin???

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Monday, 27 March 2006 09:47 (twenty years ago)

sometimes you'll find your old vehicles parked at the back there.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 27 March 2006 10:14 (twenty years ago)

I started all over again. It was that or study. Didn't know that about all the old vehicles.

Dud: getting stats back to max. So much time. Not to mention tags etc. Much easier now that I know what I'm about though.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Monday, 27 March 2006 14:23 (twenty years ago)

Hot tip for getting around! Hijack a train and do the two R3 Train Missions~! You'll get free rides all around the world, plus you get to skip the actual ride and go straight to the station!

Or! If getting to just one place is made easy by going to the airport and using a plane!

― c(''c) (Leee), Monday, 27 March 2006 18:37 (twenty years ago)

WTF @ NRG hate.

The NRG is KING for unique stunt jumps! Especially the one at the montgomery intersection, which rocks.

^^^^ Keeping it real, not like you fake-ass motherfukcers ;)

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 3 April 2006 12:33 (twenty years ago)

Word Pahmina. Punks jump up to get beat down ya hear?

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:10 (twenty years ago)

Unique jumps is for suckazzz!!!

― c(''c) (Leee), Monday, 3 April 2006 17:32 (twenty years ago)

Mainstream jumpz be fo' chumps foo'!!!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 09:48 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

i watched Ghost Dog again last night, and was thinking how great it would be if the next GTA had a real strong mystical martial-arts theme going through it, if it approximated that same clash of noble warrior and gritty street trash.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Monday, 24 April 2006 09:45 (twenty years ago)

Sad moment at work: Boss asks me what tune I was humming ("Walking through Darkness"). I told him that he wouldn't know it as it was off the Ghost Dog soundtrack. Hurt at this assumption he is now determined to prove his youth and with-itedness and pushes for an answer. I explain about the sample of "across 110th street" etc, he demands (positively demands) to know the lyrics because he's sure he knows this. I have to sing the chorus at him: "Let's get drunk. Let's get drunk and high. Yeah!" He didn't know it. Blushes all round.

I love where I work sometimes!

now get ready for NO MORE INFORMATION FOR ONE YEAR

― antexit (antexit), Tuesday, 9 May 2006 21:38 (twenty years ago)

I have heard (from what I consider to be a reliable source) that this game is going to be both smaller than San Andreas and online.

― Greig (treefell), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 07:41 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I like that :( I loved the sprawl of SA and the way you could walk away for a couple of days. I don't want to share my CJ, I ain't no hood rat!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 08:15 (twenty years ago)

surely it won't be solely online, I don't mind the size thing though. I still love Vice City and thats tiny compared to San Andreas

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 09:17 (twenty years ago)

I must buy a copy of that! I've never played it to my eternal shame.

I'm sure it won't solely be online but I'd be worried that it's smaller to almost force people online to have more game.

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 11:26 (twenty years ago)

you might find it a bit wonky compared to SA, particularly the controls, if you've never played it. It looks and sounds gorgeous though.

Okay, I'm excited now. Finally something to live the next 16 months for!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 12:23 (twenty years ago)

Sold!

I can't wait to see what the new one looks like. I still occasionally play SA as a stress reliever!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 12:27 (twenty years ago)

now we wait for the trickle of rumours and screenshots over the next year and a half

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 12:35 (twenty years ago)

I still occasionally play SA as a stress reliever!

reliever??? inducer too, right?

so i guess if this thing is coming out oct 2007 it'll be for ps3, not ps2?

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 14:23 (twenty years ago)

does anyone know where the new one will be based on? im guessing chicago based on badass US cities already covered:
nyc
miami
la
sf
lv

whats left? DC, jersey, chicago?

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 14:27 (twenty years ago)

this game is going to be both smaller than San Andreas

This would need to be true for me to even consider buying it. I'm all GTA'd out, I couldn't cope with another enormous one.

― JimD (JimD), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Unless it was in London...in fact, jeez, imagine a GTA which covered the same area as SA but was set in Britain! It'd need to be set in ALL of Britatin! GTA Manchester! GTA Edinburgh! GTA Bognor Regis!

― JimD (JimD), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 14:45 (twenty years ago)

ooo! mexico city!

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 15:13 (twenty years ago)

NEW ORLEANS though i may be biased. it'd be like hard target + big easy.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 15:22 (twenty years ago)

but good.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 15:22 (twenty years ago)

I strongly doubt this would ever happen, mostly because most Americans are vaguely xenophobic, and don't want to buy a game that plays entirely in a British accent. Note the lack of success of a relatively fun game like The Getaway. I think it could work if the UK was one of the maps, but I don't think they'll make the game without a good deal of the gameplay occuring in American cities.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 15:45 (twenty years ago)

Also Britain is boring and 'Mericans and Japanese have no strong regional / demogrpahic archetypes. Only suitable for a happyslapping MMORPG

― JW (ex machina), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 15:46 (twenty years ago)

I'm still waiting for a Rockstar Smokey & The Bandit adaptation.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 17:10 (twenty years ago)

GTA4 could be set inside my anus and it would still set crazy sales recordz and whatnot. miami and LA are obviously more appealing locales though.

― INSANE CLOWN FOSSE (Adrian Langston), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 18:49 (twenty years ago)

GTA:Naples. Organised crime + bad traffic = fantastic game!

"Stress reliever" only because I don't do the things that are hard and just spend my time shooting shit up. (xxxxxxxxxxpost)

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:40 (twenty years ago)

BRAZIL.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 11 May 2006 14:51 (twenty years ago)

cf: Driver

the end of Driver 2's Rio De Janeiro montage is pretty cinematically amazing (for PS1 standards)

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 11 May 2006 15:12 (twenty years ago)

GTA: Amsterdam - where you're either riding around on crappy bikes or those weird shoebox cars the whole time.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 12 May 2006 14:51 (twenty years ago)

GTA:naples is brilliant

― sunny successor (katharine), Friday, 12 May 2006 15:19 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha they're taking the piss, aren't they? (w/r/t that gta4 teaser)

New Orleans would be good. Set in the seventies would rock. Online? Fuck that shit. IN MY DREAMS a much larger version of Vice City, set in the '90's, familiar, but different to the version in the older game. BETTER STILL Vice City and Liberty City in the present day, & you fly between them or something (really, I just want VC and LC with all the extra trimmings & stuff from SA)

recently I noticed for the first time the graves beside Catalina's shack out in the countryside. Catalina is my favourite from the game, I have decided.

This guy wearing a light grey hoody hangs around outside the metro station near where I work. He looks just like one of the 2 types of crack dealer who hangs around ganton Every time I see him I briefly get the urge to shoot him in the head w/a tec-9 and take all his money! God.

Taking it easy on the GTA at the moment, cos I'm going through arx fatalis again. god, the 2nd level down of the crypt is fucking scary.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Friday, 12 May 2006 19:13 (twenty years ago)

i think i bought 50% of my properties by shooting those greyhoodies.

omg the 70s would RULE. great clothes, great talk, great music, GREAT HAIR.

― sunny successor (katharine), Friday, 12 May 2006 19:17 (twenty years ago)

They should do a 70s one where you can join the Weathermen/SLA

― JW (ex machina), Friday, 12 May 2006 20:04 (twenty years ago)

Or how awesome would an early-70s Detroit one be? With the mob, the unions, the radicalism, the fires, the riots-- And Motown and Motor City rock 'n' roll. I guess it'd be too political, though. But they didn't have a problem with doing the LA riots!

― antexit (antexit), Friday, 12 May 2006 20:45 (twenty years ago)

I've always wanted to like the GTA series, but I never got into it. The controls were too crappy, and it's too damn hard for me (mostly due to the aforementioned crappy controls). The driving part of the game was fun, but the rest always felt tacked-on.
