Take the bickering and mutual insults to PM.

I saw the word mission.


But I couldn't see if there was multiplayer in those 0.001 second texts. Can't wait.....

Beat is jumping the gun a bit on that one. Still have a ways to go before we have missions. It's on the to do list though if it ever becomes possible. As for multiplayer, we just now have a semi-usable SCO editor so it may take a bit for someone to figure out what's causing the MP crashes with the mod.

We are porting the world of San Andreas to Grand Theft Auto IV. We are currently aiming for a beta release this fall which will contain SF and part of LV. The website for the mod is located at http://gtaivsa.com/

I'm too lazy to re-type...

Last year we mentioned that Rockstar Leeds was working on a "next-generation" PC title. Today, Rockstar has announced that Rockstar Leeds is currently porting L.A. Noire over to the PC and is set for a Fall release of this year. The PC version will feature 3D support, increased fidelity and improved graphical enhancements. A more specific release date is said to be announced soon.

The gun play sucks

The weapons don't feel as if they were Fisher Price toys instead of actual weapons. Not to mention the sound and animations just blow on them. Don't get me started about the hitboxes.

it's laggy as shit

It is. Have you seen the forums for it? Both in the RTW beta and the Reloaded beta one of the most things complained about it lag and stuttering. This is despite the fact that the server I was playing on is near me. Apparently it's been fixed somewhat in the open beta according to change logs but I'm done giving chances. And no, it's not my computer either. It can handle Crysis, GTAIV, [insert any other demanding game here], etc. just fine. Yet APB lags even though it looks worse.

and the handling blows.

Another thing that has been beaten to death in both betas and in the final. The handling is bouncy, sluggish and just plain shit.

If you want a free GTA cops and robbers, download SAMP and join CrazyBob's Cops and Robbers.

I'd say at least 95% of the people on this forum have San Andreas. If not, a one time "fee" of $10 isn't much and you don't have to buy weapons and extras with real money later on.

Look, I've tried to give APB a chance twice and I really wanted it to succeed if only for the sake of RTW and David Jones. The idea has real potential but both owners (RTW and now GF) fail to realize that the core mechanics need to be fixed before throwing it onto the market. RTW management completely ignored everyone who said the core mechanics were shit. After they went under a number of developers came out and said they wanted to fix it but management said it would be fine the way it is.

For all the bad reviews it's getting, I thought it was actually not bad. The demo was shit and had me on edge about the game, but actually playing the full game was totally different. Most of the reviewers are complaining how the game is not politically correct and stuck in the 80/90s but that's the whole fucking point of Duke Nukem! Others are saying the graphics are bad but honestly I find they are even somewhat better than COD 4/WOW/BO graphics. I loved the diversity of the SP story, lots of different types of gameplay and settings. The only part I hated was the ending. The ending was a complete let down for me. I haven't been able to play MP but it looks good. So is it good? Yes! Worth the wait...meh no but what can you do, the game's development was mismanaged for years. It's hard to overcome that. I'll report back on MP when I get my own copy on the 14th.

From my experience with it over the weekend, L.A. Noire uses Havok physics and the vehicle handling is more arcade like than say GTAIV.
