I will finally play this game to the end.

I have free time now because of christmas, so I must finish it before I get World Tour next Thursday!

world tour?

i never got round to finishing GTA4 myself the story just didn't interest me
and it was a bit too easy

I take it he means Guitar Hero World Tour.

Just finished Manny's second mission.

i'm slightly further then that
ubt i'm pretty sure its near the end
btw what you playing this on?

Ps3. And it's nowhere near the end. It's like 20%.

i probably am getting the names mixed up

What you think of the game?

Now that I'm actually playing it for fun, I'd say it's a very good game. Though the missions are pretty reptitive and the 'realistic' driving sucks so much.

I thought the driving was fine.

I spent hours just doing awesome crashes

Fuck handbrake turns. Fuck them straight to hell.

I also hate how you're expected to chase down a fleeing character (who can't be killed even though I pump an entire magazine into their bodies) while making perfect turns and avoiding the car spawns the developers put in to screw you up.

Well just hitting the handbrake isn't going to get you round a corner. I usually handbrake for an instant, then brake and counter-steer. Works fine.

The engineered car chases are a bit annoying though.

Just did the Bank Heist with Packie. Awesome.

Also, Brucie is my favorite character.

The bank job is probably the best mission in the game.

Don't tell me that.

I quite liked the vehicle handling, but then I can actually drive a real car, so....

In any case, the cars handle much better than in Saints Row 2....one of the few really weak points in that game I'd say.

Oh there's some other great ones. That just tends to stick in most people's heads as the best one.

You want to know something funny...? When I passed my driving test, you were only six years old!

In all seriousness, the handling isn't entirely realistic, but it's a reasonable compromise between realism and fun.

probably my biggest gripe with the game

WTF Bernie.

Bernie gives you something nice once you're done with him.

What the Infernus? Yeah, it's a sweet ride and all, but once you have one it seems like everyone else in the city gets one too.

I noticed this with Banshees and Comets as well.

Saw a whole traffic lane of them once, Rockstar really need to work on their car spawns.

It's been like that since Vice City as far as I remember.
