Rockstar have never made a bad game.

Someone woke up on the right side of grouchy.

GTA is harmless, mindless fun. If you use cheats. Otherwise they can be pretty boring, but I think you're being a little harsh on GTA and their fans., Mac. They're not all idiots - just most of them.

I'm not being harsh or non-serious at all. In fact what I said now goes DOUBLE 200% because I think that's how arguments work. HUH? WHAT NOW BUD?!? WHAT NOW? STEP OFF. STEP AWAYYY.

Crashpunk · #**395** 11-13-2012, 02:10 AM

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean we're idiots. Opinions maaan.

Phylum · #**396** 11-13-2012, 02:16 AM

I partly agree with some of the stuff Mac said, but he can't deny that the games are fun. Some of my fondest gaming memories from the last few years are of dicking around in SA/IV with my friends.

Varrok · #**397** 11-13-2012, 02:47 AM

I agree with Phylum. These games aren't really good, but they're fun. Usually not the kind of fun the devs intended though

Strike Witch · #**398** 11-13-2012, 03:29 AM

GTA is a fun series to rent.

But I wouldn't spend enough money on it to buy it.

Crashpunk · #**399** 11-13-2012, 04:30 AM

Yeah I wouldn't go out and buy a GTA game new. But I don't have to because I got every GTA game in a package on Steam for £6 during the sales

Jordan · #**400** 11-13-2012, 08:17 AM

I have a question to any Metal Gear fans. I haven't actually played any of the games properly (and recently) and would like to try the series, does anyone have any ideas which game would be best to start with? Ideally I'd like to start with the first one but it seems to be a little more expensive than the sequels and I'd hate to buy it then find out I don't like it.

GTA games are all overhyped, unfun, boring, uninteresting, sloppily written, lazily constructed drek that is supposed to appeal to this fictional 'good taste bone' that gaymerz decided they developed because they're always bland outcasts lurching around the fringes of society without any idea what makes a good crime story. Furthermore, Rockstar started enacting brain controls and poison gas sprays that are released in constant spore clouds each time you turn on a system with one of their games in it that gives you bone cancer and saps your brainthoughts out through your nose when you sneeze at the highly noxious spores. Ticks and mites breed in your nasal cavity and infest your vocal chords into nasally impotent fringes squealing out combinations of curse words that are the only trigger that a fellow gammer's brain can process and deliver a response to. Eventually you're just a heaving, swearing pus sack with two fleshy claws extending from the skinmass to hold a controller or lay on a keyboard.

That's what I think of your 'Fun game' that you 'enjoy playing', idiots.

Muthafucka.

Original Metal Gear Solid is the best start you can get. Furthermore, MGS2 and MGS4's plots depend heavily on MGS1 storyline

Plus while MGS3 is set before MGS1, it’s full of references and wink-wink-nudge-nudges that you wouldn’t get without playing MGS1 and 2 first.

I have a status report on Mass Effect – the Mako is fukken illin’, and now the plot has moved me out into actual missions the game is a bit more enjoyable. However, I’m not happy that the game ganked me immediately after a cutscene and then decided to stick the last autosave aaaallllll the way back at the start of the planet.

Vyrien · #**405** 11-13-2012, 11:44 AM

Mass Effect is great, even though the Mako has the most hilariously awful controls, the parts are still fun. I was far less enthusiastic about ME2 though, still played it to the end.

ME3 is just awful, stopped playing about 75% of the way through.

If you don't mind retro games, you can play the original and the sequel, Metal Gear and Metal 2: Solid Snake, respectively. If you don't like too much blocks on your graphics, you can play Metal Gear Solid, but it's still heavy blocked. Then you should play MGS2, MGS3, Peace Walker and wait for Ground Zeros, I guess. Also, a protip from a MGS fan, replay every MGSaga game at least three times, so you can enjoy it even more.

Jordan · #**407** 11-13-2012, 12:04 PM

Thanks for the advice guys. Guess I'll have to risk paying a little bit extra for the first one. It's a shame the games aren't available on Steam, it'd make things 10x easier.

Varrok · #**408** 11-13-2012, 12:14 PM

Buy a PSX version and emulate it on PC. It'd be better (and cheaper), believe me.

Definitely this. Or you could get a *cof*pirated-copy*cof* of MGS: Integral for PC.

Varrok · #**410** 11-13-2012, 12:46 PM

MGS1 for PC has troubles running fine on newer systems, and it's stripped of some features. And you get things like "Press Select Button" on keyboard

Steamer_KING · #**411** 11-13-2012, 12:48 PM

You can also get MGS2:Substance for PC.

Really? I don't use my copy for a couple of years, but I thought it was working. Also, there's a lot of patches to make it playable. That could be a pain in the ass, getting all patches and fixes for your computer...

Varrok · #**412** 11-13-2012, 12:53 PM

Yeah, MGS2 for PC is ok, no need for emulating

It was working while I was on XP. It wasn't on Win7. There are fixes that work on non-pirated versions, that's true. But why bother if you have the PSX version, which is just superior?

Well, he have to download MGS: VR Missions to get the same level of gameplay of MGS: Integral, that's the only difference.

Varrok · #**414** 11-13-2012, 01:13 PM

Oh yes. I don't think he's going to finish them soon. These are just levels with no story

Crashpunk · #**415** 11-13-2012, 01:27 PM

Buying a PS2 and the Metal Gear games really isn't too expensive.

I didn't imply you were being non-serious. I just find it surprising that you can admit that GTA games have absolutely no merit at all.

Can you seriously say you don't think the games are fun even to just screw around in? C'mon, man. Flying cars. Gimp suits. Punches that send people across the world. Superjumps. Just so fun.

But yeah, the story are prettty much hackneyed attempts at mob and gang movies with some petty and uninteresting characters, but that's part of its charm. Plus, the guys at Rockstar have a good sense of humour, and that usually comes through pretty well in the games.

The commercials are annoying as fuck, though.

If screwing around in open world games is what you want, Saints Row and Just Cause both do it much better than GTA ever has, the only edge GTA has is the superior multiplayer.

Also I enjoy the fuck out of Rockstar's stories, and I don't think there is any argument you can make that would convince me they're not on the upper scale of videogame stories, which isn't saying much I admit, but I still think they would be a little bit above mediocre movie status.

Mr. Bungle · #**418** 11-13-2012, 08:27 PM

To be honest, I've never completed a GTA storyline. Got pretty far in GTA IV storyline, probably the only one that really grabbed me. But I found III and SA's kinda generic, from what I saw.

Daxter King · #**419** 11-13-2012, 09:01 PM

Don't worry, I wouldn't expect Mitt Romney to finish a GTA game.
