Good stuff, much enjoyed.
The self proclaimed wheelman should have his license revoked IMO.

Yeah, this game is sorely missing a Halo 3 type theater.

^ I hope they add that asap.

Running over Dakar was fun

That's cold man, real cold. I didn't say I was good yet. I'm notoriously slow to adapt to new controls.

And I still say killing is the weaker part of my game.

One thing is for certain, driving + shooting at the same time = ultimate fail for me. Somehow Boguesy killed me while I was on foot doing this, though.

I'm not sure you were trying to kill anyone by any conventional means.

So I'll go ahead and guess that no one liked Team Mafiya last night. Cops N Robbers was kinda meh-like.

That reminds me, I wonder how Driver ever did that. Not that they included it in later games, I think.

IMO, Halo multiplayer >>>>> GTA IV multiplayer.

I disagree entirely.
GTA4 > Halo 3

Dakar the Fourth · May 2, 2008 , 08:44 AM

I think the games are mostly incomparable. Halo is known for it's multiplayer (and has had 3 versions to perfect it). GTA is all about the story.

Dakar the Fourth · May 2, 2008 , 08:57 AM

Oh wow, Amazon actually shipped my copy of GTA this morning.

klb5090 · May 2, 2008 , 09:48 AM

great times last night guys, although my first experience with multiplayer it was very impressive. I think cops and crooks could be an awesome gametype with the right amount of people. Also team deathmatch works well because theres so many ways to get the job done (kill people).

EDIT: although i must admit theres no better feeling than shooting someone through their windshield with you gun out the window as you drive past, probably the most satisfying kill in a video game (except a sticky grenade in halo)

Eh, Halo (campaign or multiplayer) never really did it for me. Yeah, I've had fun times playing Halo with friends, but...

That's where it's at. And even the multiplayer is more fun for me than Halo.

Had a great time playing with yall too!

starman · May 2, 2008 , 12:29 PM

I'm partial to Halo.

Dakar the Fourth · May 2, 2008 , 12:31 PM

I was wondering where sek is today and then I realized he's probably baked out of his mind right now. I really hope they tried driving drunk (in-game and out) on top of that.

boy8cookie · May 2, 2008 , 01:54 PM

@Dakar, I was (mostly) kidding.

Driving and shooting is kind of difficult, but I managed a triple kill doing it in one of our cops n crooks match. That is my favorite game mode. Team car jack was fun, too. Team Mafiya can be fun, but it looked like everyone just wanted to kill each other.

When you (think you) are ready, I'd love to do some races.

Interstingly, once I had stogieman in the car, I fell into our Halo strategy of drive-by handbrake U drive-by. It would have been passable if I'd been helping shoot.

After last night I'm torn betwen playing single or multi. I think I need to advance the story some more before I go back online (alone). I'm still in the first chapter.

boy8cookie · May 2, 2008 , 03:41 PM

Like I mentioned before, I bought the game for the multiplayer, I'm about 15% through the story, and that was in the first couple of hours I had the game. I'll be playing ranked matches when I am on. At $1000 a win for races, ranks come easy.

Semi-off topic: kb, stogie, maroma, sek -- I'm officially back at 3 Mb Verizon! Hahahahaha

I convinced a friend of mine to buy GTA IV for his PS3 tonight. I've been waiting for this game for so long, but after a couple hours, I was ready to quit for the night. It's just...lacking, I guess. The cars all seem really slow, the handling is drastically worse than previous games, and the camera lags way behind on the turns, so every time you take a sharp turn, you're most likely going to hit a wall, pedestrian, pole, cop, etc., which is irritating when you're trying to get something done for real. The characters don't look much if any better than GTA:SA and I can't really figure out the targeting system.

I know I'll be playing more of this later, and maybe I'll like it more then, but I was expecting to spend most of the night playing this, but after a couple hours I'd had enough.
