This.
I got through some of disc 2 but I don't see myself bothering to finish it.
just started playing this last week after borrowing it from a friend
& it's shit
but what's worse is it's slowly killing my old fat 40gb PS3
i'm on the 2nd vice case & the game crashes so often now it's unplayable. every segment of the two vice missions i've played so far, after every auto-save the game crashes/freezes in some way - like the graphics just disappear & phelps is left waistdeep in what used to be the road while he can jump over invisible walls, or the phones & action buttons stop working, or the screen just goes to black (especially if i exit the map via the start button)
it's crashed the whole way thru the game but has gotten really bad since the final homicide case.
now outside of those issues it's just boring as fuck with a stupid as fuck story & stupid as fuck plot holes & there's absolutely nothing to do outside of the glorified point & click main adventure. completely substandard stuff from a Rockstar published game (oh wow, you get to view landmarks if you hold down the circle button when you drive past, jeez that's such an exciting & generous collectible!)
i enjoyed the likes of prof layton & phoenix wright (& ghey as fuck point & click games my dorky friend used to play when we were kids) far more than this weak sauce. games that are funny & challenging instead of a boring emotionless slough.
australians probably shouldn't be allowed to make videogames if i'm being totally honest. stick to the soap opera's with the pretty young honeys instead.
oh & i thought the next GTA was headed for an Asian city..

You KNOW you're making a good album when someone threatens to use connections in Mexican government to falsely imprison a young girl if I don't pay him off. Anyone in the justice system - lawyers, police, FBI, feel free to get in touch.
wtf?!
can anyone elaborate on this?
saying that, he's not making a GnR album so i don't give that much of a shit about it.. just thought it peculiar. how young is this girl? & is she sexy? pics? is she mexican??
#2914 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 792 weeks ago
if i saw that concert listing over here i would assume DOORS OPEN @ 9
& therefore i wouldn't expect the support act to be on til 9.30/10
& if that's the case then under normal circumstances i'd expect the main act on @ 11pm
but with GnR i wouldn't be showing up until near or after midnight!
i'd be surprised if there is a support band with it starting so late. GnR should be on about 10 by my reckoning, more like 10:15/25. or 11.
who knows really. depends on what the big guy is watching on tv or whether he's bored with his escort(s).. or is just being a bitter dick to the promoters & fans. you never really know til the lights go out, part of the excitement for better & for worse..
glad to see him back on the saddle in the US tho..
#2915 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 792 weeks ago
prob won't know til the night of the show whether GnR'll be streamed
going back to the Reading gig - it was meant to be broadcast on the bbc but gnr refused them permission at the last min?? (& then only 4 songs got shown 5 days later)
but generally they do allow the RiR's to be broadcast, right??
#2916 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 792 weeks ago
lol tho that Baz can borrow GnR's people & get an 8 song dvd without any more hassle but for axl to release one video there are too many hoops needed to jump thru
#2917 Re: Guns N' Roses » 20 Years of Use Your Illusion (New GW article scans inside) » 793 weeks ago
tbh after reading it i'm a little disillusioned w/GW
it's enough w/the history lessons & re-used quotes (& niven, jesus christ he's been talking non-stop these past 12/18 months, maybe his gag-order had expired or something but he's defo milking the GnR thing)
i was hoping for an article that examined & extracted the genius of the set. instead that was dismissed in a couple of paragraphs to make room for people slinging dirt @ each other some more.
there are so many great moments in the UYI's they could have filled that entire article & more discussing them. & so many bad moments to, which only adds to the fascination really.
as a chance to admire a landmark hard rock release the article is more than a missed opportunity. it's typical wasteful spiteful fare.
which is obv a truer reflection of the band i guess. & exactly how the RRHoF thing is gonna play out.
#2918 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2011-12 Guns n Roses Tour » 793 weeks ago
he'll still be rockin the avuncular allman look of the last few years.. he's aged disgracefully into that look that he was always meant for. now he just needs the tunes to back it up. they need to throw some of their southern rock tunes into the set when they hit the US.

people were excited to hear new songs last time 'cause the myth still existed & people wanted to believe in Axl & a Bucketheaded Guns. now the new songs (asif) will be played by robots who haven't written a note for the band.
there is no hope.
If you're shooting for the stars and hoping that GNR will be "on top of the world" again (in whatever incarnation), then I agree, there is no hope.
But if you take a step back, grab a reality check and just enjoy a great show from a kickass band. Then there's hope and a lot of good stuff coming fans' way!
"a great show from a kickass band"
what is a great show for you is different from what is a great show to me, likewise a kickass band.
i am reality. i've got no expectations.
doesn't mean i can't be sad about that.
i don't give a toss about being tip-top of the world. it's the lack of endeavour & honest rock n roll that is the problem. it's not playing to stadiums that i miss.
