I have the five GTA games on PS2... if I combine the time played on all the games, I barely get like 30 min.

Boring games.

Same Manhunt... just like 40 minutes played.

That had to be the most brain-dead reply you could have come up with ... "collection". It's a good thing you got your priorities straight not paying for porn and buying games you dislike.

mmm.. I have tons of games I dislike... but if I buy a game, and then they release a sequel, I have to buy it. Even if I wont be playing the game.

And now I have a decent game collection (like 600 games)

I call BS on your statement. The loading in GTA games + intro combined is at least 30min. So either you're trying to look all tough or you're a liar... haha.

collector mentality is usually a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder. If you are spending money on things that you consciously know you don't want, you should see a psychiatrist. trust me, obsessive shopping will drain you of your money.

I'm usually with you, but not this time. The GTA games may be flawed, but they are in no way boring.

Heck, I've had so much fun just exploring in the GTA games... I must have gotten dozens of hours of fun out of GTA and Vice City simply from careening around and crashing into things!

Plus, they get big bonus points for the quality of their music, artwork, voice acting and (most) of their jokes.

The "repeat a thousand times" missions can be annoying, and the shooting controls generally suck, but GTA3 in particular deserves huge credit for being the first decent physics driven sandbox where you could play the game for weeks without actually ever playing the missions/stories.

manhunt is dull and sucks though...

I'm in the same boat. Except for the fact that i dont own a single GTA, i agree with everything Fernando says.

GTA = Yawn factor of 10/10

Tho i do thoroughly enjoy Saints Row, so perhaps i need GTA4 to change my mind.

"I have to buy it. Even if I wont be playing the game."

I'm being serious here, maybe he was high when he posted this comment. It makes NO sense. Yeah, I buy games all the time that I have no plans to ever play.

Does this mean people in the UK can get Manhunt 2 without the BBFC noticing???

Not that its worth getting, but I don't like the BBFC to take away my right as a responsible adult, to play a game, however violent it may be

There's a lack of fun in Grand Theft games. Driving around bland cities firing off puny weapons isn't fun. There's a definite lack of Sonic blue in those games.

Though the Max Payne series was fun, but paying that amount for games which can be found in bargain bins for less than £2 is a bit of a rip-off.

Step 1-Distribute via steam
Step 2-????
Step 3-Profit

Now the question is, are these titles going to be authorized for download in the U.K?

A little off topic here, but talking about shit games I kinda feel sorry for the peeps that have stood in line for months to get a Wii and finally get lucky only to be assaged with the overwhelming selection of barf and gaggle crap that passes as good games exclusive to the Wii [wink,wink-tryna get Fernando goin here heh.]

I half agree with you Fester. I hear stories all the time of people buying Wiis and selling them cause they buy games like Wario Ware or Madden or Medal of Honor. Thats what stuns me. So many people bag on the Wii cause of the shit games on the Wii but always fail to realise all consoles have more than half thier games as shithouse. It's not Nintendo fault people are buying crap games.

I own a dozen Wii titles, all of them top-notch and worth finishing a dozen times each and i can't get enough of them, nevermind the 10 GC games and 14 VC games too. Makes me laugh when people complain about the games on Wii when they've gone and bought crap games. Zelda, RE4 (dont gimme that 'gc port' BS, the graphics and controls have been enhanced to the point where its a whole new experiance), Strikers, Paper Mario, Metal Slug, Sports, Guitar Hero 3, Tony Hawk Downhill Jam, Sonic and the Secret Rings, The Godfather etc etc are all worth buying. Even MK Armageddon is the best MK game i've played since MK4. Also funny how people complain about 'minigame compilations' on Wii when there must be like half a dozen AT THE MOST.

They just want an argument. It's like the people animosity towards people who have iPods. There are some rare, foolish people out there who don't buy something because it's popular.

What was that bit in South Park I saw a while ago about the coffee shops? If something got so popular it's because it's good. Or something.

The Wii is an insanely fun console. And that is all that matters. And Galaxy.

And Brawl.

Sonic and the secret rings was the worst sonic to ever come out. They turned him into a car, with random pointless levels to choose from in a list, crappy comic frame story that you can't skip.

That recommendation alone invalidates all your arguments.

Get Umbrella chronicles, freaking awesome.

Is just me or these inflammatory arguments seem to be coming from a bunch of Sony fanboys?

I'm a Xb360 gamer and I just got my Wii and I'm enjoying the crap out of it.
By the way Medal of Honor heroes is good.

Rockstar is most likely coming to Steam. Take a look at the following thread for some snooping around:

are you people new? Fernando bashes Sony relentlessly. Early GTA games were all on Sony, so thus, chance to bash Sony.

You would think someone who loves Big N so much would actually be playing those games and not trolling anti Sony shit

We Get it Fernando, Sony fanboys have shit on nintendo for years and years and you are trying to fight back while Nintendo is on top. You need a hug or a counselor
