Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

October 19th!
Anyone else as pumped as I am about this?

My favorite new features:

- Being able to hide from the police in shadows and around buildings.

- Pedestrians live their own lives. You can stalk them as they leave the house, go shopping, go driving, and come back home.

- The ability to break into houses. I can't wait to watch for someone to leave the house while I'm parked in my car across the street, then bust in the back window and steal their TV.

- 3 cities the size of VC with countryside in between! Plus one bigassed mountain to climb!

- 4 person drivebys!

- Being able to recruit gangmembers off the street!

- Custom tattoos, having to eat to survive, being able to get fat or muscular, getting haircuts!

- Some cars will be in worse shape than others.

- People will fight to keep their cars!

I think I'm going to faint.
I'm so excited!!!

I never really looked into it until yesterday.
When I read all the info so far on it, I almost peed myself.
I'm going to be all giddy for awhile. I haven't been this excited since I was waiting for Vice City Lord knows how much time I wasted with that game, and this one will be 5-6 times larger!

OH Man I feel like a kid again, this is going to be one sweet game got to find my lucky joystick. My favoriate part in VC is when you steel the VC police helicopter and move into parts of the game you are not suppose to go into. Also going up on the roof of a building with a sniper rifle and pick people off is pretty cool.


If they charge more than $50 I will be pissed.

I finished GTA3 but havent finished VC yet. I am stuck on the blowing up the mall store task. Everytime I do it I cant make it back to my estate so I shut the game off. Come back a week later, try it and fail, then quit again.

Maybe Ill finish it before SA comes out. It is a great franchise.

I still haven't finished VC, but I'll definitely be getting this one, especially because of the new features. About blowing up the mall, it took me like two days to complete that. After you do it, have a beer.

I'm not what you call a serious gamer, but there was a stretch where I played it a week straight after work. I either kept blowing myself up or getting killed by the police. Man they're a pain in the arse. Stealing all of the cars was a pain the the arse too. I don't buy many games (I only own 3) but I like the looks of the new GTA.

I read something about how video game manufacturers are testing the waters to see just how much people will pay for games. Prices are supposed to up to around $55 for a new game soon.

My favoriate part in VC is when you steel the VC police helicopter
Have you gotten the military chopper with the missles yet? You can shoot down the other choppers flying around, and you automatically get 3 stars for it, but they can't catch you so it doesn't matter. Eventually they start shooting at you though.
