oh god i hate you
can i come round your house please?
Replace "hate" with "detest" and we might have a deal.
NICE
My next door neighbour
Is playing a leaked copy as we speak and he wont answer his phone or his door. Cunt.
Every last one of my male Burnley friends is getting so excited over this.
Its been like the main topic of conversation for the past two weeks non stop.
I've become so unbothered about games, and I'd rather it stay that way. It means I can spend my time listening to loads of music and watching loads of films and reading everything in my spare time, as opposed to becoming klair or MrHills.
=D
e
^ almost this
Consoles no longer excite me. But I do want to play GTA4 sometime.
^almost this
I quite enjoy the occasional Nintendo game, but I'll be investing in a 360 and GTA4 once they cost about half-nothing each.
Finally playing Metroid Prime 3 now. Given how much I loved the first one, it says a lot that I've taken this long to get around to it. And it's just not proper Metroid - there isn't the isolation and the fear any more.
GTA IV is currently sporting a spectacular 100
on Metacritic. Impressive.
Yeah, that is impressive. Seems like
it might be the best game of all time.
is it that much better than the gta3 games?
because i didn't like those.
it's down to 99 now
Oh shit.
:)
Ah maaaaaaaaan
I need to find out where I can get a copy of this tomorrow.
Choices:
Picking up this for the 360 tomorrow
Vs.
Picking up a PS3 with this, tomorrow
Where's that middle-class dilemmas thread?
+ secret option 3
buying an Aga.
360 innit
I'm going to get it for 360
because I don't have a PS3.
Just got e-mail from Amazon
Saying my copy is on the post for delivery tomorrow happy days!
What do you think my chances are
of getting hold of a copy in my local Blockbuster? Do you think they'll piss themselves laughing if I go ask?
ps3 or 360?
i think 360 might sell out a bit quicker...
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33326.html
the video review has got me SO excited. SPOILERS.
Somewhere must have some copies on sale though
it can't be pre-order everywhere.
I'm even half tempted to nip 10 minutes down the road to Asda at midnight to attempt to get a copy so I don't have to muck about tomorrow morning.
man
i'm going to ASDA tonight, it's what all the cool kids are doing. i won't get to play it until thursday though :(
My local Asda is in Hyson Green. :-S
I'm wondering if these alleged stock shortages are made up hype though.. apparently there was a similar thing with San Andreas but that was available most places. (Though that wasn't a simultaneous launch on 2 consoles..)
no idea where hyson green is
but yeah, there will be plenty of stock, it's not as if they didn't anticipate this being a huge release.
360.
I'd completely forgotten about it to be honest and then a week ago I thought "oh yeah, GTA4! I think I want that." Plus, multiplayer mode = omg.
the multiplayer mode looks
INCREDIBLE.
i might have to renew my gold membership.
lol@xbox
*sits back in free but inferior wii online chair*
lol @ waggle to shoot
this isn't even coming out on the wii is it?
Someone on my friends list was playing this last night
JEALOUS.
I might go down my local ASDA ad 12 tonight for this.
Fuck
I didn't bother pre-ordering and NOWHERE has this in stock now. PS3 or Xbox. Halp!
I'm sure somewhere will have stock available tomorrow?
Maybe.
But Mario Galaxy was sold out for ages and Mario Kart still is... :|
I just got quoted
"a couple of weeks maybe" by Game
Amazon say 8th May
Ahhhhh
ASDA/tesco/whatever!
they will have it.
Asda 5th May
Tesco can't see online
Panicpanicpanic
Asda + Tesco have been running adverts
saying they'll be open at midnight to sell it?
hmm I checked online stock only
nearest of either is about £40 in cab fares away anyway
standalone game is out of stock bloody everywhere... managed to land a PS3 + game bundle from Gamestation in Camden
Midnight tonight, it shall be mine!
I'm suprised it's got to out of stock everywhere
Madness! Did they not make enough copies of the game..
Maybe try slightly less obvious places like Argos and Woolworths tomorrow?
argos don't have it available to reserve
so unlikely
past experience says woolworths would take most of the week to get it on the shelf anyway!
My
Xbox 360 kicked the bucket last night -red ring of death denotes a hardware failure.
Approximate time to get it repaired under warranty? Three-four weeks.
Approximate time till release of GTA4? 10 hours.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
gutted!
my xbox went RROD, got it back within 2 weeks though.
this will be the best game of all time
i reckon well obviously behind god of war 3 when it comes out
This ^ Is my biggest fear.
I can imagine that putting GTA4 in the slot and closing it will brick it to kingdom come.
I really hope it doesn't happen. :(
balls.
From what I've heard up there^ I doubt I'm going to get my hands on this for ages.
