  1. I had it preordered since February but cancelled it last week after one of the top brass said the singleplayer would take 6 hours to complete. Not good enough imo and certainly not worth £35.

    I might buy it when it hits like £20 or I might rent it some time, but I'm not buying it new.


  2. Dubai isn't atmospheric. It's very clinical/stale imo. There isn't much diversity there either and it's such a new city that it has no history to play on. The only two things Dubai has got going for it are 1) nice cars and 2) tall buildings. But when everyone drives a nice car, all you're left with is tall buildings, which don't make a good GTA game.

    A riches to rags story would be bad too. Maybe from riches to rags to riches, sort of like Vice City in a way, but finishing the game on the bottom step doesn't make sense, nor would I find it enjoyable.


  3. Who has issues reporting posts? I know Marney and I think there's a few others. Also what is the error? Lack of permission or what?

    An Error Occurred

    Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

    [#10136] You do not have permission to report the item you are attempting to report.

    Whos posts are you trying to report?


  4. Thanks Fitty, yeah i noticed that last night. i had to upload each object 1 at a time and after almost 150 images i was tired as fuck lol. I should fix it today. Thanks for the help.

    Do you get FTP access with your hosting? If you do you can use a client like FileZilla to upload an entire folder in one click (drag and drop) and just leave it to work in the background. The built in file managers most hosts use are pathetic and useless for most sites.


  5. You can change the notifications in your profile settings. The default is/was a notification AND a message gets sent to you.

    Thanks for reminding me, I had forgot that. But I did tweak the settings when I was validated, and I only get "Inline Notification".

    And I also had two other notification issues, I don't know if anyone can answer on them.

    They should all be fixable through the notifications setup in your settings.


  6. I think that GTA should focus less on MP. MP for GTA4 sucked IMO... too many asshats and fucktards.

    I reckon they'll go into it the same level as IV, but they'll use feedback from RDR to make it more fun. I'd be happy with free mode, racing, and a couple of Deathmatch-style modes. Mafiya Work was my favourite from IV, but basic Deathmatch was kind of lame. RDR was similar.

    I bet the social club will be much more heavily involved in multiplayer this time around.

    As I said earlier the main key for me is to not make it such a grind to unlock everything in MP. Either that or have more stuff unlocked by default. And don't have any multiplayer-based achievements/trophies. They're just the worst.


  7. Would be interesting to see if there does end up being a link. I mean GTA IV was originally supposed to be released in 2007, with work beginning right after SA released in October 2004, and I'm expecting to see GTA V in 2012. I'd be surprised if they had already started planning GTA V so far in advance. The time gap between III, VC and SA was much shorter so they could easily have had a basic plan down for that series.

    Would be kinda shit if it was set in France. There's nothing there except wine, bread, windfarms, striped jumpers and silly hats.

    I think though, if we get any subtle hints, we'll find them in L.A. Noire.
