Do not get any consoles, they were all obsolete the day they were released anyway. Stick with the compy ^_^

GameCube and Super Smash Brothers Melee. Bish. I don't have XBox, but I do have GameCube + SSBM and PS2 + San Andreas. San Andreas is fun as hell with the new 2-player aspect. Sure, it has no meaning, but c'mon! Get out there and share the holocaust! To be honest, I never even played Halo. :P

Edit: For GTA: SA you barely have to aim manually. Everything has an auto-lock, and if you reach good weapon skills, your range increases along with your accuracy, so it's pretty much Lock-On, Shoot, Duck, Roll, Lock-On, Shoot. :P

Halo2 is rumored to be relased for pc in spring, but Rockstar hasn't said anything about GTS:SA yet. Being a huge fan of both games, I say, buy one, and make friends with some un-suspecting stupid kid, and steal his, when he asks, be like " dude? wtf? I'd NEVER do that".... and laugh at him constantly

I'd go for GTA:SA, because of the sheer amount of playtime you'll get for the same price. And don't say that the country side is boring, because it was really fun to dodge traffic at high speeds that you wouldn't have been able to do in the cities. And cruise around with the Dirtbike over rolling hills.

November 12, 2004, 9:07 am
and i bet you havn't played neither of them.

anyway i'd get xbox for halo 2, GTA:SA is just about the same repeating game like gta3 and vice city, same kinds of missions and all but you can set your character alot more specificly in san andreas.. (gotta go to the gym or you'll be a fat [IMAGE]).

LumpyFerret, I would beef up the PC... Getting a console for one game is a waste of money. :o


I'll take my PC and Soldat, thank you very much.

Melba, there are 6 girlfriends in total, which you can have at the same time. :P If one isn't home, date the other, or do a mission, or a sidequest. Hell, even go to school. Then come back. She gets home with time, or at a particular time. That Denise girl is usually home at around noon or evening, and Millie is home after 2:00. :P

Oh, and by the way, screw girlfriends, go gain territories. Haha, I own 98.33% of all of Los Santos, and I can't seem to find that one damned territory that's costing me the last 1.67%.

Oh boy! Console wars!

Well... if you're really willing to drop the cash to buy a freaking system for just a game, then I'd opt for the X-Box.

See the thing is, I can't justify buying an X-Box (for myself). I don't care for Halo... so that's out. The only other games that are X-Box exculusive that I'd want to play are Fable and Ninja Gaiden :-/ . Sorry...not gonna buy a $140 system for two games.

Although both PS2 and X-Box are suppposed to be backward compatable in their next incarnations (I know... X-Box has shifted back and forth on the issue). Personally I think that was a big part of the PS2's success.

So anyways, get the PS2 so when you get bored of GTA:SA you'll be able to get more than one or two more cool exclusive games.

well..

i HAD..a gamecube....and i sold it...

Kazuki:
I think the last Balla Terrorory is in San Ferrio, so you wouldn't be able to conquer it 100% yet. I've just gotten to the San Ferrio missions, and Zero just opened up.

Kazuki
November 13, 2004, 3:17 am
Leo: I finished the storyline. I know that the territories disappear until you go back to Los Santos for the final missions. I conquered a random Vagos territory in the Las Venturas desert area. It was near the boating school. It didn't add onto my percentage. Seems very strange to me. There's really no point in gaining territories at the beginning of the game since you'll have to start over anyway once you go back to Los Santos to do the final missions.

Melba: I actually only got 3 girlfriends, and I accidentally killed one. Seriously. The nurse, she stood in front of me while I was getting shot at by a cop, so I turned around to get revenge, and I have this habit of aiming and shooting really quickly, so before I could stop myself, I shot her head off. I didn't really care. :P You could also just kill that Millie girl and enter her house. That way you get the Key Card easily (no, I didn't do that).

I just got Nitro in all taxis, got all 100 gang tags, all 50 oysters, and I have 20 horseshoes. ;)

Melba
November 13, 2004, 1:08 pm
HOW long have you played gta SA?

and what city hospital did you find the nurse?

i have:
denise
some girl i met at the driving school
the girl you followed into a sex shop, and killed the gimp who was going to... err... please her.
and maybe catalina, if you count that as a real girlfriend.

a friend of mine got gold in everything at the flying school.
he got a hunter, and now due to vigilante missions, hes got 2 mill now...
[IMAGE].

and what's with the oysters, i havent seen any Oo


Kazuki
November 13, 2004, 2:26 pm
Ok, let me explain. I've played San Andreas for about 3 weeks. I got all Gold Medals in all schools. Boating, Biking, Driving, and Flying. For Boating, you get the Jetmax, for Biking, the NRG-500, for Driving, the Hotknife, and for Flying, the Hunter. Yeah, it's really easy to do Vigilante (A.K.A Brown Thunder) missions with the Hunter, and once you pass mission 12, you can stop unless you want more money. The reason I say that is because you get 150% Armor. Also, later on in the airstrip missions, you get the Hydra Jet and a Jetpack. The jetpack is pretty simple, you can accelerate/decelerate and gain/lose height. The Hydra Jet is awesome, though. You can have the thrusters in a position so that you only move vertically, or you can have it so that you move forward. It's got a lock-on system. If you lock on to an object for a few moments, the circle will turn red, and that means that if you fire anything at it, you will fire a Heat-Seeking Rocket. You should fire 3 or 4 just in case, because they're pretty weak.

Catalina is a bish. She keeps calling you over and over with these really weird messages, and she keeps reminding you that she's with that GTA3 character, Claude, I think.

I don't remember where I found the nurse. It was on a sidewalk somewhere in San Fierro, but I don't remember if it was in front of a hospital or not. Either way, there will be a red arrow over her head so that you can tell her apart from the rest of the crowd.

For getting all Gang Tags, you get a lot of respect, some money, and 4 weapons spawn in the Johnson Family Home (the house you start the game in). These weapons are the Sawn-off Shotgun, Molotovs, Tec-9, and AK47.

For getting all Oysters, you get your sex appeal and lung capacity heavily boosted, and you get money.

For getting all horseshoes you get your gambling luck heavily boosted, the money, some respect, and 4 weapons spawn in front of the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas. I don't know what they are yet, since I haven't gotten all the horseshoes.

For getting all Photo Opertunities, you get the money and 4 weapons that spawn in front of your garage in San Fierro. I don't know what they are either.

Kazuki
November 13, 2004, 11:52 pm
lol, you don't see any of it. And yeah, you can give your car paintjobs, Nitro, rims, customize the sides, vents on the hoods, and exhausts.

tommy vercetti? Remember he didnt say much in gta3. pretty sure its him.

anyway, jetpack i got before i got to las venturas, and i got the hydra yesterday.

check out this kaz:

yey, easter eggs.

EDIT: and i haven't played more than two weeks, and i've had lots of tests :P
just to justify me not being further in the game

Kazuki
November 14, 2004, 3:34 pm
Well, yeah, you get all the airplanes in the Desert, technically, but it's Las Venturas for me. :P No, no, they said he was from GTA3. His name is Claude, I think. He looks much like Tommy, but the clothes are the same as in GTA3. Oh, and didn't you love having to go to Liberty City? Haha, it's so awesome. You don't do anything except take over St. Mark's Bistro. but it's still cool.

/me goes to check out easter eggs.

Edit: Haha, I witnessed the plane crash. :P It happened in the midst of the mountain in the Badlands. Haha, I was climbing the mountain on foot when I heard this air plane, and it landed right behind me and exploded. :P I was glad that it didn't kill me, but then it exploded again and threw me off the mountain. Died when I landed.

I like Vice city more than gta3, the palms nice weather, alot of things were better.
Whee bro is going to buy a new ps2 and san andreas to me. I can feel the christmas already.

November 17, 2004, 5:29 pm
Vice city was better than GTA3(in my opinion) becouse of all the new stuff. The main bonus are bikes and roflcopters. San Andreas will be more than I want! Bitter sweet.. ohh man I cant wait for that game.

Gotta equip ol' faitfull here with some new cards! I already got an additional 512 RAM.

BTW: While we're at it. What should I get? GeForce? Or Radeon? Some say Radeon is better, but GeForce goes best with games. A hard decision. Though I think I'm gona get me a Radeon I need good graphics for other stuff too ya know.

i had burnout on gamecubzor..

and you could drift like nothing else with that game..

I would definalely pick that game up again..along with 3.

but argh..soo hardd sometimes..

November 18, 2004, 11:39 pm
ah I looked a couple things up. Burnout 3 is a PS2 and X-Box released game. So meh.

I love the little statistics they give you in burnout 3, like "longest distance driven into oncoming traffic". On one of the indy car racing levels I set my record at something like 1,700 feet (roughly 3 miles... which is roughly 2 billion kilometers)

November 19, 2004, 12:27 am
i could never get the super duper burnout thing..

Crash mode was fun.. i didnt realise that you could get more levels for ages.. haha..

the japanese supercar was good for drifting on the alpine track or something..

aahh burnout 2..
