I wonder if maybe it's just set in Los Santos? They could do a whole game based around just LA leaving sequels open for San Fierro and Las Venturas rather than cramming them all into one game like San Andreas. Having said that I'm not sure San Fierro has enough character to carry a game on its own.

I watched the GTA 3 anniversary vid as well. Can't beleive that game is 10 years old. We spent literally 3 solid months at school talking about that game when it came out.

Should be a good couple months game wise, with the new Batman, Assassins Creed and MW3 all out soon.
Quick question I never got Arkham Asylum, do I need to have played it to play Arkham City in terms of storyline etc?

It sounds great, as good as any live performance of Estranged I have ever heard.

I thought DJ absolutely nailed the Estranged solo in Chile!

I've watched a few vids of last night and I think they sound pretty damn good to be honest. Sure his voice hisn't bang on and there's moments where he sounds like 02 but there's also plenty of moments where he sounds like he did a year ago. After a faltering start I'm glad to see that they seem back on track.
From the bits I've heard Estranged sounded amazing again!

How do we know it's the intro to The General by the way?

I dont thnk he was crying I think it was more case of rain dripping down his face BUT he did look completey distracted during NR and the way he messed up the lyrics to NOVEMBER RAIN of all songs is very strange. Like Olorin said it's a very Britney Spears kinda meltdown.
Is it out of line to suggest maybe Axl was high on something??? I really think this may have been the worst performance of his career not because of lack of ability(which was admiteddly severely lacking lat night) but because of lack of presennce. I have never seen Axl Rose simply not there in spirit at a Gn'R show. he was NOT there last night.
I wonder if his lack of ability hurt his confidence and he simply checked out because of that. Would be an awful feeling as a performer to have a "Who am I kidding?" moment on stage let alone one of the biggest stages
It had crossed my mind too but who knows?
His voice is there in patches but he didn't seem to have much confidence in it. I thought Nightrain was ok, the classic Axl sound was there in the chorus but it was noticeably absent in other songs.

I think it's really important they come back strong next show. Forget last night it was a bad day/night at the office, hopefully they'll learn from it and be better for it.
What did worry me was Axl but we know how he gets when things aint going his way. Maybe he has got a personal issue of some sort at the moment and this just tipped him over.
Who knows, whatever the reason as a GNR fan I'm just hoping they go out and put on a hell of a show next time out.

Wow, NR was hard to watch. It was going ok til the line fluff but then he just didn't seem to be able get back in time. It really looked to bother him as well.
Axl certainly wasn't at the races last night and the poor mix etc just compounded the misery. I think he probably just got complacent, it's not like it's been 4 years between shows like 02-06 and I guess he just thought he could rock up and he'd be straight back into touring mode.
As is I said in a previous post, if he knew he wasn't 'on' vocally it was probably a sensible call not to play any new material. Although judging by the setlist there was only a chance of one new song anyway.
