Anyone else playing GTA4?

Just finished all the missions with a gametime of just over 33 hours :X

I chose Money for the last mission and am regretting it now, I have a save state from like 10 missions before the ending so may replay it but choose the Revenge mission and see what the alternative ending is.


anyone else playing it and if so where are you up to?

GTFO, I am not too kind on pirating games. Ban I say, since this is beyond obvious, unless you post a pic of your copy with "Fusen @ CF" written on a Post-IT.

Pirating games have already killed the innovation for most parts, who can we thank about that? The kinds like fusen.
Innovation was killed by greed and people stupid enough to buy each FIFA game by EA. Why bother taking the risk when you can earn just as much money by reissuing the same game?
Parent
Yeah, why bother as people don't buy the games. That's how they see it. It is very understandable view, since developing AAA game costs millions. To get even, you need to sell +300k atleast, depending on development costs.
Parent
Yes indeed, hardly anyone buys these games because hardly anyone wants them. And I really doubt that as many people "pirate" these games as the "blockbuster" type of games.

Let's take another look at "piracy":
- NiN: "Ghosts" is available under a CC-license (copying, sharing, etc. allowed). Revenue: $1.6 million. There was a limited fan package that sold out after just one day. 2500 packages and each one sold for $300. Now even Metallica thinks about distributing their music in new ways.
- TV productions are put online (or should I write leaked?) by the producers just to see how well the latest episode of a series is received. Side effect: verbal propaganda for free (and that's the best propaganda you can get). Most likely the TV station benefits by having higher ratings and therefore more profit from ads.

you will ban 90% of xfire, and he is admin too
if you think alil bit, buying online games is just more worth than the SP ones, because companys aint forced to give updates, 99% of the times they releases some fixed patchs and leaves the game
you want to pay them for a game they will never touch again?
support online games more...
Parent
More sad if he is a admin, that's just a disgrace. For example GTA4 offers a lot for your money, and still you don't buy it, what is this shit?
Parent
i'm not either, but who else but the stupid game developers can you blame? they lost the ballz to create something really realistic (not just adjusting movement speed, spread and recoil of successful shooters, to make them sucks, but include flying guts when you kill someone with a grenade, cursing, mindless violence), and most of the ideas today include some space soldiers walking around on foreign planets and shooting some randomly created monsters (whats wrong with just killing people?) with alien weapons. yes you heard right. AAAALIEN WEAPONSSSS. fucking pathetic.
Parent
The fact is, that those basic Call of Duty like shooters sell like breeze, since the casuals tend to buy them. There is market for them, and since the companies are for money, it's not cheap to develop a game. Many small PC developers that tried to take risks died, some were bought by EA mainly( and died). Piracy is more spread on PC than it's on any of the current consoles, the sales just prove this too.

The Witcher was a really nice surprise, and it sold well. So was IronClad's Sins of a Solar Empire. Both are success commercially too, but you are correct that those two games prove that if you really pour your heart to it, it will pay off. But the piracy just makes it harder for the guys to believe in it. Since it's their earnings and their jobs that are on the line.

The thing that I don't get, that when you pirate a game, you are willing to promote this behaviour on a public forum, be it as small as Crossfire is. But it is unacceptable for an admin to do so.
Parent
No, I think you are alone.
i am from rockstar i am coming to your house to kill you
i hate you fusen, looks like im going to have to wait until the actual release date :(
33 hours is fairly acceptable for a game nowadays imo.
i put ~120hrs FFX :*(
Parent
CROSSFIRE IS TOO SLOW WE GONNADIEZ
Parent
Soz that they dont count in the frekking poor players who take 120hours to get through games likes of COD 4 :XD
Parent
I tought he was talking about the console game :(
Console games are downloadable too ;)
Parent
I doubt I could run any PS3/Xbox360 emulator (if it exists) with my pc :-(
Parent
No I mean, you can mod your xbox360 so it'll be able to play downloaded games, or whatever. Personally I actually buy my games for xbxo360 :p
Parent
So do I , didn't plug my Xbox360 to my modem yet ... And don't wanna mod it , It's not supported by the warranty if I mess up something :-(
Parent
looking forward to PC version \o/
[+]

when is it released anyway?
Parent
its not even been announced that it will be on PC \o/
Parent
