LET'S ARGUE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES

[Guitar Woman]

Fallout 3 is the best game where you can make people explode with your fists since Fallout 1.

[bigtimecow]

i love in fallout when i shoot someone in the leg once and their head and arms fall off

but i guess years of radiation will do SOMETHING to the body

[Tadao]

Just bought Fallout 3. Yay!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Love shooting people in the foot in Fallout 3 and they skyrocket toward the ceiling/air like the "Ring the bell" carnie game.

[Guitar Woman]

Guys, remember that one time my Wii ate the one game I still cared about and left me with nothing but utter shit and games I've gotten sick of

Oh, hey, me neither, that must have been my Xbox eating GTA4. MY MISTAKE.

[Fathom Zero]

I have one game for my Wii and I haven't played it in about four months.

[Guitar Woman]

I haven't used my Wii in forever either but that's not the point here :<

[Fathom Zero]

Well, I do suppose that if you don't play it, there's no chance for a game to break inside it. 100% SUCCESS RATE.

This is a miracle. Everyone should not play their games. Just go outside. That way, the chance for failure is greatly reduced.

So it did you a favor.

[Zomboid]

I've been playing punch out on the virtual console lately, but I haven't played an actual wii game in over a year.

[Guitar Woman]

I forgot to mention that I was playing Lost and Damned, a much better and less man-date oriented game.

[Dimnos]

Well I guess that is a bit sad then... I thought that game was a download. Did it fry the HD or something?

[Guitar Woman]

No, it just ate the disc, but LaD needs GTA4 to run itself because it's still set in Liberty City and downloading the entire city over again when you've already got it on a disc would be retarded and probably take up half the hard drive. I sort of wish they'd have made an entirely new city and released it as a seperate game, but the plot is way less angsty than GTA4 and brings back all the glorified violence hilarity of the other games, and feels like a "proper" new-age Grand Theft Auto. Again I highly reccommend everyone get Lost and Damned who hasn't already. It's awesome.

My favorite mission was when I had to assassinate some naked politician's greedmonger uncle when he got off a helicopter at an airport. I rode over there with a rocket launcher, shot all three cars for his convoy, stole the helicopter, and mowed him down with the blades as he was fleeing across the tarmac. He went soaring into the skybox and I flew off into the sunset.

HUGE SUCCESS.

[WhiteRat]

Weren't you the one that said that the GTA series had terrible game design (or something along those lines)?

[Guitar Woman]

I've been a fan of the series since 2?

One thing that makes me shit my pants over GTA are those missions. You know, the completely retarded, iconic, too-hard-for-their-own-good missions that you have to re-do a thousand times before you finish them, and that Vice City seems to be entirely comprised of. I might have been referring to that.

GTA's progression also being mission-based, the narratives usually feel sort of disjointed or something, but that's really not a big problem and the spectacular writing more than makes up for that.

Not only did she say it had terrible game design (because what Guitar Woman doesn't know about game design isn't worth knowing) but also:

what could I have been thinking!

[Guitar Woman]

That was after the first time I had played GTA4 and couldn't wrap my head around how handbrake turns don't work anymore. That's sort of made up for by how hard it is to flip vehicles over, which I am very fucking thankful for.

The AI is still retarded, and every GTA has been loaded with bugs and weird inconsistencies (by which I was able to kill everyone in some bar in the desert in San Andreas, leave, and then come in and find they had all respawned so I could do it again), the PS2 version of Vice City in particular.

[WhiteRat]

That was a bad thing? You need to pull the rod out of your ass and stop nit picking every fucking little thing in a game. I would love to hear your thoughts on the perfect woman.

GTA is the only game where the bugs have actually enhanced game play for me. Nothing beats seeing a cessna sliding down a hill around a corner only to crash right into my unsuspectinig self.

[Emu]

good god GW do you play anything un-ironically

[Guitar Woman]

I wasn't saying they were BAD, I was just validating my statements for Limey McPersecute over there.

The only thing really wrong with GTA is how on the PC versions it's impossible to fucking do anything with a plane or helicopter. And that's really my fault for being too poor to spring for an Xbox controller for my computer.

[Dr. Boogie]

It's been stated in other threads, but it bears repeating: GW has terrible taste and is prone to fits of bad judgement. Please do not listen to anything he has to say about video games.

[kahljorn]

@ GW:

[Guitar Woman]

Guys, I'm going to be fucking pissed if by the end of this game I don't get to kill Brucie and Manny by shooting them both in the kneecaps and then hurling them off a cliff into an EXPLOSION.

[kahljorn]

[bigtimecow]

GW YOU SUCK LOL
