Looks amazing, pre-ordered it on PC. The hand to hand combat looks great and the city looks alive and vibrant.

GTA 5 shouldn't be out until well into next year. Which means there's ample time for me to check this out. :D

It might be due to the ability to completely rig up your ride though.
I'd say it was because SR3 was way too easy.

Never really followed the game until today.

Watched one video of the E3 2012 demo.

Now I have 2 games to buy on August 14th. This and Darksiders 2.

God damn it.

The PS Access video makes me think, the PS3 version looks slightly better than the 360 one. Or do I have tomatos on my eyes?

True, but I am just glad that both of these are getting out ahead of the pack. A bit more time to enjoy them and hopefully they will get more exposure as well.

Can someone actually read those subtitles in a 40" TV that's at least 3 meters away? FUCK.

I'm no native english-speaker, so I have to rely on subtitles to (almost fully) understand. Why developers keep such tiny subs? I give up on playing Max Payne 3 because of this. SERIOUSLY.

What the fuck? Why have subtitles option when nobody can read them?

Or at least, make an option that you can change the size of it. It is so hard? Every video player out there have this option.

Same with me but DS2 was the game that I had basically ignored until last week. It's a good feeling getting multiple (hopefully) high quality games in one day, it doesn't happen often for me. I hope it goes a lot better than the last time I got 2 games that came out on the same day which was Red Dead and Alan Wake.

I'm tempted to buy it day 1 but then I'd rather wait for GAF impressions or reviews. I don't typically trust all the preview impressions and such for any game that's still not out yet. Though nowadays reviews... aren't... really the end all, be all for sure.

Both games are liable to be $30 a month after release so I'll wait until then.

It does. You can really tell that the city just feels 'alive.' Even when he buys food at the stand it gives you that vibe of walking through a busy city at night. It's paying attention to all of the little things like this that really pays off for this kind of game. Even your safehouses have this kind of attention to detail.

yup, commented on this earlier..this is what I mean when I say that when playing GTA 4 I feel like a ghost that can't interact with shit (yeah yeah I can buy peanuts, watch telly and shove people-woho). That's almost Shenmue-esque.

Btw: I'd love to see them implement Deadly Premonition's 'beard feature'. That was some next level shit.

Doh I totally forgot that GR is open world. So one review is claiming this is better than GR then. Going to have to be something real special for that to happen for me (then again he/she might have forgotten about GR being open world as well lol)

In this half hour gamespot demo I was watching the community guy there mentioned it was 30+ hours. There's apparently a lot to do on the side.

Whoever does the UI graphic designs or whatever you would call them at United Front Games is the best in the business. This is something I barely even pay attention to in other games, but in UFG's games it leaps out at me, which really is all that needs to be said. It was the first thing I noticed about ModNation Racers, and now this game has it too (though not as much, from what I can tell). Even the game over screens have some really energetic work in their graphic art.

I dunno if I'm explaining this well at all, as it's not something I ever think about outside of these games. Anyone else with me on this?

Yes but then you would also be trusting the GAF (which thinks Journey is the greatest game ever made).

GTA IV 10 from Edge
Saints Row the Third 100 from Official PS Magazine
Skyrim 40/40 from Famitsu


Never trust reviews.


The only way I'll know it's good is when it's in my PS3 and running for six hours

V Or I could, you know...rent it.

So you won't know it's good until you've already thrown your $60 at it... k.

Well yeah that's usually the case, for example you can read as many reviews as you want on a movie, but you will never know if you will personally enjoy it until you watch it.

If it interests you, your more likely to enjoy it anyway.

If I remember right the only reason they dumped it is because they didn't think it had whoring potential. As in it wasn't something that could be put out every year.
