No, my point is it shouldn't have been a ps3 / x360 game at all. There is the issue that as a next gen launch title it wouldn't sell very well, but I'm sure people would've bought ps4s and X1s JUST for this game. The install base would fill up pretty quickly.
Almost definitely. Rockstar will be working on all their other franchises after this and perhaps some new ones too (Agent).
I still think GTA V should've been a PS4 / XboxOne launch title, especially given how some of the recent leaked in game screenshots look kind of bad if I'm honest (at least compared to all the promotional stuff).
Really? Did they finally introduce that? I wasn't aware.
You're totally missing my point. I'm talking about body types. The "hume" race, who are obviously supposed to be the stand in for us, for humans, all have "perfect" bodies. There are no dwarf (I know, not a pc term) sized humes, no skinny humes. They're all just "beautiful" people.
There ARE small and lanky etc. people in the game, but for some reason they don't get to be "humes". Or in other words, the "human race&...
Yeah that's pretty cool. It's a little bit weird that the body types for the hume male and female (human surrogates) are very specific though. Any characters that have "weird" body types and shapes belong to entirely different races in the game- i.e. not hume / human. Slightly weird message that sends out. Also still no homosexual relationships.
That's an argument I have a real problem with. "It's a real profession", or "it's their job". How on earth does that legitimise anything? It was an American pilot's "job" to drop agent orange on Vietnam, does that make it okay? Does the fact that "it's how he / she earns money" somehow neutralise any ethical or moral question?
I'm not comparing stripping to agent orange bombings, but you see my point? Terrible th...
Murky! That's the word! Murky and sort of washed out. My impression from all the media they've been releasing was that this was a more colourful and vibrant game, but in these screenshots the game has dat GTA IV "murk".
Emmm, most of these look pretty bad... not gonna lie. I mean I don't really care too much about graphics, but the quality is distinctly less than the images and trailers rockstar have been bombarding us with.
SOME of them aren't bad, but... yeah.
Depends on the context in this case. Difficult to make any judgment at the moment. Although, this is a GTA game we're talking about, so that context isn't likely to be very wholesome. I'm GUESSING it's two people, probably pedestrians, having sex in public. Perhaps it's just something you have a random chance of stumbling across.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with doing that- whatever you're into really- but it still isn't something the young k...
Did you uh, read WHY I think it isn't a bad game...?
Thank you very much for the kind words and for taking the time to read.
Haha I was a little bit worried this wouldn't get approved when I finished it because of the lack of direct videogame discussion, but I tried my best to link it all back to videogames and particularly the n4g community, the latter of which I think is really what qualified this to be approved.
I just don't know why people feel they need to comment when they didn't read. What ar...
Is there an ongoing fan translation I don't know about?
Oh, didn't realise that. Well then it's likely loaded with microtransactions and lazily conceived gameplay.
Sounds like it lacks a crucial human element to me.
Eh, probably won't buy that. I don't and probably will never own a smartphone for one thing, and secondly, I'd rather play the proper, critically acclaimed preceding game than a half-arsed mobile spin-off.
Addendum: I’ve noticed a recurring argument that people who argue like myself are somehow as conservative as Victorians or Puritans, but there’s absolutely no analogue there. It’s a total straw man. Firstly, Victorians CENSORED and monitored and policed morality and appearance in the interests of a class system- the conservation of an aristocracy. Not to mention, as has been said, that the people least like the Victorians were the Victorians themselves. In fact, anarchic libertarianism was qu...
As they say, empathy is not something that comes easy, and that’s particularly resonant in the order of society we live in today. "Sociopath", if we accept its definition as prescribed by orthodox psychiatry, rather amusingly, actually describes a lot of people in such a society, to say nothing of those who run it. Empathy requires a greater attention to the Other of which this culture does not have time for. Creativity explodes the little boxes we build around ourselves and allows ...
One way of looking at this is that if creativity is "industrialised", then money becomes central to all creative endeavours, not the creativity itself. This means that when the money runs out (in say, the music industry) people, because they've been so ingrained with the "value" of money, won't be as inclined to be creative. Creativity has been merged with the notions of profitability and of market performance, and people can't seem to conceive of it outside th...
For them, just like there is no problem with the juvenility of videogames, there is no gender inequality in society, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary; and these opinions are both formed within the matrix of libertarianism, an ideology which, despite being derived from the Latin for freedom, and despite being similar to the word "liberalism" is very much not in the business of promoting freedom, at least not a freedom that is life-affirming and respectful to the free...
I've never played GTAIV on the 360 but wasn't it the superior version? I ALWAYS here bad stuff about the ps3 version.
