Now I'm playing Grand Theft Auto IV. Definitely an older game. But I like that Rockstar has always maintained their gameplay style. Cruising around, the GPS system and the colored dots when you need to find someone. I have to admit though it took some getting used to, to play with an immigrant character. And I think they were more interested in putting variation in the game than in the story. The story is good and solid but not that great... yet. I've just got into my second safehouse. Though the variation is nice. You can play pool, darts and bowling. It's actually pretty much the same in Red Dead with poker, blackjack and five finger fillet. However the pool and bowling makes me wanna do it in real life. Also that you have your own e-mail account and website in-game is a nice touch. Anyway the game is good, no doubt about it. A lot of action in it and also a lot of crime. I've been stealing cars and running over pedestrians that I can't even count it anymore. Another nice touch is that in case of accidents or deaths is that the paramedics arrive. And in case of death you respawn near a hospital or when arrested near a police station. It's a good game and I will finish it no doubt and I think I'm going to be playing for the next few weeks since there are four areas and I just started in the second one.

Judging by how you convinced me to buy LA Noire, I might just be convinced to buy GTA4 too.

Might as well get GTA5 too.

Would you believe I've never bought a GTA game before?

I heard that Rockstar Games is making another Red Dead Redemption, but it's rumored to be a prequel.

I've never played GTA actually... wasn't really my type of franchise. I kinda drew the line at GTA. XD

DashboardOnFire - what kind of games did you play on Xbox?

Mostly, I played "Morrowind" (The Elder Scrolls III). But also Indiana Jones, Buffy or Fable.

Before, I had a Nintendo64 (Zelda, Mario64) and I liked to play on my then-boyfriend's playstation (Final Fantasy XI) or my sister's Nintendo SNES (Mario, SimCity, Yoshi's World)

Neither have I. Most games I have actually belongs to my brother. I'm just working through them. But I do intend to buy GTAV as well but maybe on PS4. I intend to play out all PS3 games first and than by PS4 and replace all the games that are released on PS4 as well so I can sell the others. But I think if you like one Rockstar game, you like them all and I think it's mainly because they maintain their style of gameplay.

Jedi, yes I know there will be a prequel to RDR. If you have played the game you know why. But it's still quite early so I'm not sure if it's all a go yet.

The cheapy store down the road where I stay have GTA5.

Maybe ill give em a visit later.

Okay so everyone can blame MacgyverGod! Go ahead! Blame him!!! For making me go out and but games that I shouldn't really be buying!

Picked up GTA5 after work yesterday. Of course when I will ever get the chance to play it though is anyone's guess.

I didn't make you. I just adviced it.

But I have to admit that Rockstar is one of the best game developers ever. Maybe even just the best.

So basically what you're saying is that I should just go ahead and buy all their games?!

See? Did everyone see what he just did there again!? Playing these mind games! Stop it!!!

Well, i tried installing GTA 5 but it seems to be faulty. Read a few comments online about how the install disc gives a lit of people problems but mine just doesn't want to. So will regrettably be returning it today. Maybe they have a spare copy?

I've also been eyeing out the Watchmen game. Came out a few years ago but it looks cool. And i love my fighting games!

Careful, I might go Murdoc all over you. Meuhahahahaha!

Not all of them. But at least GTA starting from IV through the last one and than Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire. I've seen the development of GTA now and starting with IV is a good one. I think that must be one of their first if not the first game that uses their now famous gameplay. The first GTA games are really from another era.

I made good progress lately and it's getting tougher as well. There's a difficulty level in the police chases as well. Sort of like in NFS III Hot Pursuit with the lights GTA uses stars that lits up and there's a total of six stars. Now they're up to three stars and that makes it pretty difficult already. Now I'm supposed to kill someone in a building filled with gangmembers, when you killed the guy you're looking for, 'the cops are all over me, man.' If there is one negative thing I have to say about the game is that when you die during mission no matter how far you get in it, you have to start all the way over. This means stealing a car a drive all the way back to your destination, kill everybody again and hope you don't die where you died before. If a mission is split in two parts it wouldn't have hurt to have an automatic save there, like when you kill your guy that game should save it and that you only have to re-play the police chase. That's like the only bad thing I have to say now about the game.

Well in all honesty my friend, i owe you a debt of gratitude.

Your recommendations have clearly opened my eyes to open world games. Before then, i didn't know. Returned GTA 5 but coincidentally found another & GTA 4 on the bay from the same seller for super cheap! Both in good nick too! So i have ordered them and should hopefully get them in a couple of weeks! If theyre anything like L.A. Noire, i think ill like em! (In terms of open world games).

The first time I played Red Dead Redemption I always got lost, didn't get any of it but after a few years I decided to take my time with it to get to know it and the next thing I knew I was hooked. Yes, when you take the map and press X you can make a line from A to B and than you have to follow it. It's easy. But first I didn't like it but it's one of the best ever. And it turns out almost everything Rockstar did hits the mark.

I originally bought Red Dead Redemption the Undead Nightmare thinking it was the actual game. Didn't enjoy it much. Only afterwards did i find a Game of the Year edition which i bought and realized the actual game was far superior. I have not yet played enough of the game. I'm still paying back my 15 dollars to Bonnie although after going on a few raids with the sheriff at Armadillo, i'd say i have a few dollars to spare.

I couldn't reload my save game from Gears of War. For some unknown reason, it wont pick it up. Not corrupted either. So i started playing it again from scratch although i dont really mind because I'm really enjoying it!

I was thinking about RDR while playing GTA. Still have many fond memories but too much stuff saved in the memories. So I'm going to take more time before replaying it. RDR is much more expanded than Undead Nightmare. You have to unlock Mexico first before you can go home in the northern part of the land. But I loved to race from the heighest point to all the way down into Mexico. But I love it how they come with their fictional counterparts and how the West slowly stops to exist.

In the meantime I made great progress in GTA IV.

Sounds great!

Ill hopefully be getting my GTA's in the post in a couple of weeks.

Getting excited for next Thursday! The big DLC for Fallout 4 comes out. I finished Automatron over the weekend since I haven't been on the Xbox in a while... too much time on PC. lol But, I'll be streaming Far Harbor on Twitch when it comes out. teeheehee

Far Harbor looks great! Why don't you buy me an Xbox One, Jedi? Then...then i too can play Fallout 4 (Benefits). Just think about it! We can talk about how far we got in the game. We could try to compete online...All good things!

I think I'm about to finish GTA IV. Or at least I hope so. It's a choice making matter. Either work for the guy who betrayed you or work for him again in order to get the money. I died on both occassions. I almost had him last night though. But I think once I finish that the game is over and I can start gaining up on all the other stuff. Doing races or helping pedestrians and do the stuntjumps and shoot birds. I have like 46 stuntjumps more to do and to shoot 199 birds. I was just trying something and suddenly the message: you have 199 birds to go. I do miss a little action music in the game though.

And then you're moving on to GTA 5? Come on, MacGyverGod! Do it! Then when my ones finally arrive (Should be any day now), i can play it too.

I don't know yet. I was thinking to save that for when I buy PS4 but I still have a lot of other games to play as well. The idea is to play them all and than look for the games that are also available on PS4 so I can sell their PS3 counterparts. I still have to play 14 other games. I'm still going to have my hands full with Batman, Tomb Raider (Legend, Underworld and anniversary) and Uncharted and I do mean all three their games for PS3. I think before I start on Tomb Raider I wanna play the old games again first. I'm going to have my hands full and I even want to replay a few games as well like Red Dead Redemption and Rambo The Videogame. I don't know maybe if I find it at a reasonable price.

I heard the Rambo game was a bit of a disappointment.

And a bit frustrating but not as bad as Fast and Furious Showdown. But indeed, the silly part was all you can do is duck and shoot and the game will hold your hand when you have the run... in other words, the game takes over and brings you to the next hiding place and than you have to shoot and duck again.

I'm not going to buy it just yet, but I saw GTA San Andreas for only 19,99 euros. That's a very reasonable price.

San Andreas is available for the iPhone. I have Vice City & GTA III on mine

And I finished it today. The last bit was a bit frustrating though but I finished it, now I just continue till I have 100% completion. These involve inside missions like drug deliveries, beating a game of pool, bowl and darts, races, shooting pigeons and stuntjumps.

Well done MacGyverGod!

Thanks.
