Awesome. The only thing I have to say is that if this game is just as violent as GTAVC, then the state legislatures will be all over it like flies on crap.

I just can't understand how the game could be unexciting to you. Do you just not like ANY games, or is it just this one?
You have Hitman 3 concept art as your sig, so I'm gonna bet you like the Hitman series. So that kinda rules out you being against innocent bloodshed. But also, Hitman is about the same level of repeativeness (that is, its NOT repetative, and plenty open ended) as GTA is. Likewise, if you ignore the story, its just murdering as many people as you can (at least it is when I play :P). So it seems the same.
Again, I'm not flaming you. I am just simply trying to understand, cause right now its making my brain turn i circles.
I just find it boring and repetitive for some unknown reason.
I like Hitman series a bit, but not much and the only reason i've got the concept art in my sig is 'cause it looks good <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Heck I even did it in GTA 2, where I would try to "Float" over Cars by jumping over them then trying to stay on them. GTA 3 was infinitely easier though...

GTA and Vice City both rule. A heap of playtime value coupled with an involving storyline, witty features and challanges ranging from stealing a tank from a military convoy to using radio controlled helicopters to blow up a skyrise. The only bad things about GTA: SA will be:
1. PS2 only. Time to find me an emulator.
2. Yet another GTA game for the soccer mums to go ballistic over. Actually this isn't really a bad thing; it's great fun watching them froth at the mouths and give the franchise even more publicity.
3. Australia will still not have an R-18 rating for games, forcing me yet again to import or pirate an American copy of the game. I am NOT going to play GTA without blood and hookers.

Nice, another great GTA to get. Maybe Rockstar will get a clue a put MULTIPLAYER in this one when it hits a PC release. I know there's MTA, but there's just so many bugs here and there, it's at times just not worth it.

I read about this a few months ago in PSM, rumors say it will be set in the 60's in a Vegas style setting. Sounds like super.
On the subject of car surfing: you guys are nubs. Get on top of a gang car and make another gang car go ka-splode. The one you are on will try and run you over.

Easily the most offensive, and hilarious, thing you can do in GTA: VC is to get a ****, bang her in a dark alley for health, let her out, then run her over for the money you spent on her. Thats just ace.

No. They actually don't realise it. Our government is stuck in the 1950's. Also, they have this belief that games are too interactive to be given an R rating.
Which of course means that we pirate the R rated games like crazy.
hmm this one is gonna be set in the 60's?
