The King Of Swing Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Really need to give GTAIV another chance. Honestly I'm not even remotely excited for GTAVI. I enjoyed V when it first released the but have never managed to complete a second play through. Edit. Also I really need to finally complete Red Dead 2.

Merzbow Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I hate played through V, managed to finish it but couldn't stand most of the story and characters. An edgy rapist that sounded like he's from Rick & Morty? Nah, that's not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 1, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2022 IV was the most disappointing title for me. Don't like Liberty City as a setting, not varied enough compared to Vice City, San Andreas or Los Santos so was bored by the endless amounts of city buildings. Thought the story was a bit dull and Brucey aside I wasn't really into the characters. Gameplay and graphics however were very impressive. V pisses all over this, so does San Andreas and Vice City despite being Scarface and Boyz N Da Hood regens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hating Trevor during my original playthrough on PS3, but I despise him even more this time round. There's nothing redeeming about the character, he's utterly vile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 1, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2022 As well as being all a bit dull and washed out the driving was really shit in IV. I ended up taking taxis everywhere, even on missions when possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted October 1, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2022 Yeah, IV is janky as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I do remember that the driving mechanics were probably the biggest complaint for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 This is the first time videogames have broken my heart, the top creators of Disco Elysium have all been sacked unceremoniously over the last year and it's been kept quiet until now. Capitalism killed Disco, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy it last year to see how it looked, only to be met with the shitty Rockstar Club DRM that did not feel like connecting to the internet so it was completely unplayable. This crap really should be patched out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted October 2, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2022 I gave up on 4 before the end because I got stuck on a mission (I had to follow something on a bike I think), but remember next to nothing from it sadly. Now part of that is me being in a right low at the time but it's always worrying when the only thing I remember from the whole thing is the annoying cousin constantly asking me to go out and play. I've read criticisms of the characters in 5 but at least i remember them, and it clearly plays into you possibly hating one of them to kill them off at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the most telling thing about IV. I recall loads about Vice City and V, and like many on here can probably recount San Andreas mission for bloody mission. I remember Brucey going on about shark testosterone and Roman pestering me about playing darts but that's about it. It was pretty forgettable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted October 3, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted October 3, 2022 I decided to buy an original Xbox over the weekend. It's one console I never had growing up. What would you recommend? It came with a decent batch of games already; Spoiler Fifa 2003 & 2004 Fifa Street 2 Rallisport Challenge Conflict: Global Storm Mercenaries Fire Blade Return To Castle Wolfenstein Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2 Juiced XIII Splinter Cell & SC: Pandora Tomorrow Gun Sid Meiers Pirates Rainbow Six: Black Arrow & Rainbow Six: Lockdown Black Vexxx LMA Manager 2005 Forza Motorsport Tony Hawks Undergound Full Spectrum Warrior There's a few there that I remember loving on the PS2, especially THUG, Black and Mercenaries, so I'm looking forwards to getting stuck into them. But are there any lessor-known games I should seek out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Jet Set Radio Future, Otogi, House of the Dead 3 and Panzer Dragoon Orta if you want some of the last great Sega games of that era. All were Xbox exclusives after the death of the Dreamcast. Â Edited October 3, 2022 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
