The one stupid thing rockstar did

[Idontrember]

"Following a partnership between Rockstar Games and Amazon.com, players will be able to purchase real world MP3s through GTA IV's in-game mobile phone. If the player hears a song they like on the radio, they will be able to 'mark' the song by dialling ZIT-555-0100 on Niko's phone. They will then receive a text message providing the name of the song and the artist. If the user is registered on Rockstar's 'Social Club' website, they will also receive a real world email with a link to an Amazon.com playlist where all of the player's marked songs will be listed and available to purchase for roughly $2 each.

 

Initially, this service will only be available in the US."

 

 

Some of you maybe saying it's cool.

But I think it's bullsh*t that they would put this in the game and confirm it before confirming/Not putting in the option to upload music off your hardrive like you can do in games like

Svr 08 and Mlb 08 the show.

Well...if there's ever a PC version, you'll definitely be able to do it there, but for now...I have an iPod.

[BadMeetsEvil]

wtf are you complaining about exactly?

[*CarBoaster*]

If the song is on the game disc, you can get it off of the game disc.

[MajorAvenger]

I was just thinking about the same thing. I don't like this idea at all.

then dont use it

[Idontrember]

wtf are you complaining about exactly?

Being charged for music without knowing/Be abling to do it for free when i can in other games.

 

 

 

[Ph3L1z14n0]

If you have napster or itunes you can just download the song by looking at the frikkin game manual

[Vive La France]

I think that amazon mp3 is the best mp3 service out there, and it'll end out working great.

 

Don't worry.

[DieScream]

What kind of idiot pays for music downloads these days? If you don't like it, don't type in the code on the phone.

[toxicshock1911]

Look at it this way: Amazon is paying Rockstar/Take 2 for this feature. These precious funds can be used to keep Take 2 afloat to prevent a future EA buyout.

[Idontrember]

Can you not f*cking read?

Jesus christ.

 

YOU CAN'T TAKE MUSIC YOU ALREADY OWN AND PUT IT INTO THE GAME WITHOUT PAYiING FOR IT !WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO IN OTHER GAMES.

 

Jesus christ.

You're stupid.

then dont use it

I'm not going to. I don't like the idea of it, but I'm saying that this whole thing is bad. In fact, this could be considered somewhat of a step forward towards newer things in games. Just as long as this doesn't turn into something like EA's microtransactions.

if I am reading this correctly he's complaining that you have to pay to listen to music in game

 

you aren't being charged to listen to the music, and you obviously know about it since you're posting in here XD you're being charged to download the music to your computer. a perfectly respectable buisness practice. and it's DRM free so you can put it on ANY music player.

Follow me on this.

 

I own cd's.

I want to put the music on the cd's i already paid for in the game.

I can't do that Unless I pay for the song's again.

 

Jesus christ..It's not that hard to understand they're ripping you off.

 

They should've allowed us to do stuff like this

 

"The Xbox 360's hard drive is utilized to allow custom music to be used in the game as music."

WTF does that quote have anything to do with this thread?! You have to pay to listen to a song thats ALREADY in the game on your system

that quote says you can listen to songs on your system in game

YOU ARE THE IDIOT

Please kill yourself.

 

 

YOU COULD TAKE MUSIC OFF YOUR HARDRIVE AND PUT IT IN THE GAME WITHOUT PAYING FOR ANYTHING IN SVR.

THAT'S WHAT SHOULD BE IN GTA IV. NOT BEING CHARGED TO PUT THE MUSIC YOU LIKE IN THE GAME.

 

S0B.YOU'RE f*ckING STUPID.

Call me an Idiot XD

let me clear something up for you. YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR OWN MUSIC IN THE GAME, NOT EVEN BY PAYING FOR IT. THE SERVICE YOU PAY FOR IS TO DOWNLOAD SONGS FROM THE GAME INTO YOUR COMPUTER.

 

jesus what a noob. can't even type out a normal sentence and then calls someone an idiot for trying to translate what he's saying, and then, on top of that, is talking about something completely retarded, which is wrong in the first place. zip your trap buddt, or GTFO.

so wtf

[Se7en56]

You guys have read it wrong... If you want to listen to the song out of game on your console you can choose to buy/download it to your console... Just find out what its called and download it via limewire or something, Stop QQing about it and don't buy the songs.

I know what that service is for. If you were smart you would know that other companies do the same sh*t that they are doing right here. its called business.

Yes, I did. I should have stated that I didn't word my first post properly. My fault. So basically I personally don't like the idea, but it's a step forward. That should clear things up a bit.

read the god damned article!

it says, plain as day, that if you hear a song on the RADIO you can PURCHASE it for your own personal use.

 

MEANING, if you're driving around, and you hear a song from the in-game radio, that you like, you can PURCHASE the song to transfer to any portable device you own in REAL LIFE!

it's a more modern version of the games soundtracks, and an EXCELLENT idea.

if you don't want to use the feature, then DON'T, but for some people, they may enjoy it.

 

ugh, I hate stupid people.

this whole thread, this idiot "Idontremember" has been bitching, and arguing over his own f****** misinterpretition of the article.

 

please, leave the forums and never return.

thats what I thought he was complaining about at first too, is paying to download songs from the game.

Nah see, this noob thinks you can put your own music from CDs and MP3s and crap in the game by paying two bucks a pop. XD he's an idiot

 

but you're right. Piratebay > Amazon
