| This is my first real attempt at a GTA game - I have San Andreas but never really got into it due to the graphics suckage...
I'm through a few missions - have had my warm coffee (on the second date - after getting drunk w/ michelle), got my double lap dance (which apparently I didn't have the money for - so the bouncers beat the crap outta me), and done a few of the Vlad missions.
Three things are frustrating me right now:
All the people in the street and no one to talk to. OK - you can honk at hookers and they come up to your car - and other dudes will talk smack to you - but, it'd be nice to have SOME way (other than pushing and punching) to interact with the people on the street. I went for a burger, and there was some chick sweeping the floor. She put the broom down then headed outside - I thought "hmm - maybe this is someone you can interact with" so I followed her out and TRIED to find a way to 'talk' to her - but you can't!
I mean - why can't you just go up to ANYONE and at least have some kind of conversation. (or can you???? and I just don't know how?)
Second is how dark the game is. I've got the brightness all the way up - tried to punch the contrast up too - but things started looking really crappy. This is the only game I have right now that brightness is an issue - so - that kinda sucks.
Lastly - why do i keep losing cars?? I jacked a sweet SLK look-a-like, went to pick up Michelle - drove her to the bar, and when we came out, my car is gone... (had to take a cab back to her place - too drunk to jack -n- drive lol). Same with some missions. I grab a sweet car - head over to Roman - and the mission is always "here take my car" - and I have to take his POS. Again - am I just not doing something right??
I jacked another SLK and then went and saved the game at the safehouse (my first game save) - so - we'll see if this one sticks with me when I play now.
I've only played an hour or two - and it's OK... I'm not getting the 10/10 thing either, but I'm not giving up on it yet either. Still gotta try some MP too! |
