i have feeling that after SR4, Volition will finally will be back to their roots with SR series! (at least i hope so...), something's telling me the next installment will be less ridiculous and more serious!...

I totally recommend anyone to play Payday: The Heist before venturing into Grand Theft Auto V not saying that GTAV's heists will be back compared to PDTH but to show how screw ups in a heist can pay dearly for you and the rest of your team. Also, it's pretty fun playing with other people too!

Ok thanks!! (Not gonna quote everyone)

 

So the majority think Sleeping Dogs is pretty cool... icon14.gif  I'll get it then!

Short or not the story is really good, it has NO fillers whatsoever.

Go for it. icon14.gif

driving feels like something out of Forza and Need for Speed

It's obvious you've never played any Forza or NFS games.

 

Sleeping Dogs handling feels like sitting on a chair and trying to push it along a metal floor.

 

@other dude

 

Don't get Sleeping Dogs, it's extremely short and alot of the content was cut and resold as DLC. Story can be done in one sitting, cutscenes and occasional sidetracking included.

i SECOND this! SD is freaking horrible! guaranteed it is one of those cases, when money wasted into recycle bin!...

I think I'll risk it, since the majority think it's cool...

I have no respect towards anyone, who plays Condom Hearts...its silly childish game with silly childish cartoon characters!...its MY opinion...i know you didn't ask for it, but i don't ask if i should give my opinion or not, i'm just GIVING it...

You called the game childish... but you reffered to it as "Condom Hearts", Please, I've heard 8 year olds come up with better than that.

No love for Bioshock Infinite? The entire Bioshock series is a masterpiece of storytelling. If you haven't played it yet, why do you hate yourself?

 

I don't know what I'm going to play until GTA V though. Was gonna get Vice City again for the 360, realized they don't have it on the marketplace. Not sure what now.

 

In regards to Saints Row...I only have the original, I liked it alright but it was a bit bland. It tried to compete too directly with GTA IV. Now, the series has the opposite problem (lacking seriousness and depth in any capacity). I rented SR2 and SR3 and they both failed to draw me in. Terrible graphics, bad storytelling, and the novelty of being so over-the-top wore off pretty quickly.

Good decision! icon14.gif

 

Like any other game it has its weaknesses but also has its strengths. Story is good, hand to hand combat is amazing (second best in that dept. after Arkham games), city is beautiful (small but good), you can customize your character with different clothes and accessories, you can buy cars and do racing minigames (handling may not be the best but once you get the hang of it, it wont feel that bad). All in all a good game.

I struck gold and found an Xbox copy of Vice city at a pawn shop. You could probably get one online too

Demo is fun.

I have replayed GTA IV and it's episodes numerous times since the second trailer for V came out, and it has really hyped me for it.

I am currently on my third replay of RDR (a great game and anyone whole loves GTA should get it), and my fourth replay of TLaD.

 

One question:

 

I am thinking of getting Max Payne 3, is it a good game that is worth getting, or should I not bother?

The last of us when it releases. I'm trying to avoid other GTA style games, so when I play GTA V it will feel more fresh.

The dubstep gun? HAHAHAAHAHHAAHHAHAH suicidal.gif

actually that's the only thing I like about Saints Row IV, the rest just looks poor, DLC made to a full game..just not worth the money for me..

Max Payne 3 is definitely one of the best shooters of 2012. It's story, gunplay mechanics, level design and soundtrack are incredibly awesome. I would recommend getting on PC though but if you want to get it on consoles then do as well because all I've heard of it are great things. One of my best purchases of 2012. Also the game is quite long, I think I clocked in at around 11-12 hours total for the whole camaign.

 

I haven't touched Multiplayer for a while but what I will say is that I felt like I was in a John Woo movie with bullets whizzing past my character while diving in slow motion off a balcony, through glass then taking pot shots at some guy behind cover.

I seriously recommend JC2 as well--it's one of the best Sandbox games out there in my opinion and it's one of the very few that can challenge GTA IV and still stand strong. For Xbox and PC guys there's a demo, too, so you can try it out--the demo area alone is like half the size of Liberty City alone, and it's only about 1/10 the map!

Good game but Max himself is a whiny bitch. I stopped playing the game after the second disc because of his constant whining. The guy is way too depressed. I know it may sound like a stupid reason but.... it just became annoying to me. He complains everytime he opens his mouth. The guy should just learn to suck it up.

 

But a good shooting game nonetheless. As far as I can tell because I did not complete it.
