GTA IV

Best graphics of any GTA so far, and the most realistic driving experience of any game I've played so far. I have it on the X360.

Anyone else notice how much more....uh...homoerotic this game seems to be compared to the previous installations? The main character, a Russian immigrant named Nicco Bellini, spends more time wining and dining the men of Liberty City than he does with his supposed "girlfriend". Wink

Interesting--I hadn't thought about that aspect of it. I don't have it myself as I don't have an xbox360 or ps3, but I've played it at a friend's place, and I'll have to look for that element. Good to note. Smile

The hot dog vendor likes to say, "put this dog in your mouth", and at one point in the game you're required to place an ad in the M4M section of the personals. Sure, it's to kill the guy, so it's kinda creepy, but then again you're pretty much supposed to kill everyone you encounter, so I didn't take any special offense to it. There's just all kinds of references to it throughout the game so far. It's kinda funny. Smile

I definitely need to check that out.

I really am looking SOOOO forward to them releasing that on the PC. It will probably be a year and a half before they do, IF they do (would be a shame if they didn't).

It comes out on PC Nov. 18th, if I remember correctly. How are your specs Kizz? Because I gotta say, if you're running something like Dale was running a couple years ago, you're not going to be playing this game. And yeah, there are a lot of homo-erotic humor points to this game. I think it's meant to be there in that juvenile way though, like a couple of 16 year old boys would find funny. Heck, I love it. The billboard that says, "You can't beat our meat" or the fudge packing factory with all the guys with the lisps that seem to flock to the area. The hotdog vendor also says, "You love my meat". I was beating a guy in the park and I heard an NPC say, "Sweep the leg Johnny", right out of Karate Kid. Awesome references all throughout that game. I don't know about the "spends more time wining and dining the men of Liberty City" comment though. If I recall correctly, you just meet the one guy, where as you bang like eight different chicks at once. Sounds like wishful thinking. Great game though.

Yeah, my system probably won't be running it worth crap. I've got a 3.2ghz P4 with 2gb ram and a Geforce 7300gt, probably not even enough to run it with all the graphics turned down.

Your RAM is fine, the 7300 may even be enough to pull it off on the lowest settings. I'm not to sure about the P4. Is it single core? The recommended specs are out, but not the minimum ones yet. Here are the recommended specs:

Processor: Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better)
RAM: 2GB
Hard Drive: 18GB free hard disk space
Video Card: 512MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader
Drive: DVD-ROM dual-layer drive

Yeah, I just have a single core. Sad
