Yeah, thrash the life out of that nigguh until a sticky substance oozes out, then you'll know you've beaten it.

I really keep meaning to start a new game, but I never get round to it.

It's good for getting money while you sit there and do fuck all. But generally the races require twice as many laps as the equivalent A-spec race and give only half the winnings. I think it would be better for B-spec drivers to "learn" from the way you drive and mimic it to an extent, I mean I tend to not bother braking into corners if there are other cars in front of me, instead I try to t-bone them, which slows me down and knocks them off course allowing me to overtake. Also a few tracks have tight chicanes that you can basically glide over without braking (the Monza Circuit, a couple in the Circuit de la Sarthe and the Suzuka Circuit.) I use these to overtake if i'm falling behind or just to gain a few seconds advantage.

Ok I have one question regarding this game; Why are the B-spec drivers so retardedly fucking useless?! They brake unnecessarily and much earlier than the other AI drivers, they rarely use full throttle unless the road is perfectly straight, they don't overtake even when you tell them to, when they spin off (which they inevitably will if you keep telling them to speed up) they wait like stupid gormless cunts for every other gormless cunt to pass you before calmly setting off again at the slowest possible speed, they won't try to block cars from overtaking - in fact it seems to me like they pull to one side and let the other cars past. There aren't enough commands to give to them, "decrease pace" "maintain pace" "increase pace" and "overtake" just won't do... I want one that says "WIN THE FUCKING RACE YOU STUPID FUCKING USELESS CUNT!1!1!" Just now I had my level 22 driver in a Veyron, and he was stuck behind three other cars (Mazdas, Hondas and other average stuff) doing about 60mph, then he slowed down even more and let several other cars pass, all the while i'm mashing the increase pace option knowing as soon as he hits a corner he'll spin off (while doing about 30mph.) So yeah, i'm pissed off...

While I hate to agree with the authority 'round 'ere. I must *agree* with your summary. *agrees*

Yeah a R* "no" usually doesn't mean explicitly no itself, it means "perhaps, perhaps not"...

I never did like power metal that much, too weak for me, but maybe in small doses I could listen to it. I'm more into black, death and grindcore.

I was actually thinking about Dubai the other day. It's been suggested before, so has base jumping off of the Burj Khalifa too. And I guess it would make sense that Yusuf Amir would make an appearance.

It'll never happen but I just had an uber thought today; what if the next GTA was set in the same place as RDR, it would be nice to revisit the same area we know so well but see it by 21st century standards, how all the settlements have expanded and encroach on the small amount of wilderness left. Blackwater would be a huge metropolis probably reaching down into Thieves' Landing and beyond, Armadillo would probably be the second largest city and then there'd be all the small abandoned ghost towns, untouched since the time of RDR. Tumbleweed could be a theme park owned by the disgruntled Native American ancestors of those in 1911. Of course there's no indication that RDR and GTA take place in the same universe but i'd still like to see it. As I say it'll never happen but oh well, I can dream... now if you'll excuse me i'm going to continue rambling to myself... *walks off mumbling to self*

Maybe add a driveable Delorean that you can find parked in a cave somewhere. Not that John or Jack would know how to drive one, but who gives a fuck about historical accuracy when time travel is involved?

I've only ever seen/played a demo of the first one. At least I think it was the first one, it must've been since it was that long ago I used to buy the PS magazines.

First one I use as an avatar on a few different things, second one I (still) have set as my desktop background.

I have never, and probably never will play a SR game. That is all.

Same, along with the other two original screenies. Probably this one for GTA III.

So do the custom member titles unlock at 100 posts again or something?

Yeah L.A. Noire was originally a PS3 exclusive, not surprising really as Team Bondi were formally Team Soho, a SONY studio based in London. There's absolutely no chance of AGENT ever coming to Xbox360 though, I think SONY are expecting this game to attract huge amounts of Xbox360 owners into buying the PS3. It's gonna have to be pretty epic for that to happen but we'll see. *raises hand* Mr. Marney, Mr. Marney! ViceMan of ViceCorp Chemical Toilets and Plush Toys Ltd, a subsidary of Vice Inc. - My question is, so L.A. Noire is being developed by the same team that made the Getaway? You didn't know that? Anyway, PLAY TIME KIDS!!! Well, no... since I don't follow game developers and their ever changing company names. Oh and I was going for more of a press interview type thang as opposed to a classroom.

Not necessarily.

So is it a PS3 exclusive? Wasn't L.A. Noire going to be too?

I think i'm going to prefer this to L.A. Noire somehow.

Now I want a bag...

Oh, you mean V-Ike-ing?

So I guess you're the sort of person who buys a new phone every six months to keep up with all the latest faggy "trends" and "apps". A DVD does me just fine, as long as I have a DVD player I can watch it quite easily. I don't think i'd notice any discernable difference between DVD and Blu-ray versions anyway.

Yup. Something about it seemed really sterile. And the game world was wasted. For example, the train/subway network was massive, and yet it was barely used in the story. San Andreas had a similar problem, but the world was much bigger, so that could be excused. Anyway, I gave my vote to Vice City, as i think it got the GTA formula just right. VCS would have been equally as good if it had been designed for the PS2 in the first place. That's why I want a more urban story to the next game, more subway tunnels and ghettos, fewer penthouses and rich assholes. Of course, if the next GTA is set in Los Santos, we''ll probably just get more penthouses and rich assholes. It'll probably be more extreme at both ends of the scale, like the beginning of SA. You'll start off with tiny, decrepit houses in "tha hood" and work your way up to massive penthouses in Vinewood. For some reason I think i'd prefer if they did San Fierro though.

*feels late to the party* damn, i even missed the chick with the boobs ... Who, this one?
