| Quote: | Cons:
1. The control scheme is utterly horrid.
Trying to shoot from a vehicle is not possible, as everytime you move your mouse, it changes your camera angle. No way to disable this via options. Thus, you can't see where the fuck you're turning/going during chases where you need to kill/damage opponents. |
Unless they've changed it considerably from Vice Citys control scheme on the PC I don't see the problem - GTA controls have never been very intuitive once they got into the 3D realm. On the PS2 I had little problems getting to grips with this and enjoying the game right through to it's conclusion so maybe you want to plug in a dualshock?
| Quote: | 2. Dialect.
Two points here: A. It tries TOO hard to be gangster. Every other word is "motherfucka", or "nigga".
B. I feel like I need a dictionary to understand what the hell is being said. I find myself trying to decipher what people are talking about, instead of being able to focus on the mission at hand. Maybe I come from the wrong racial/ethnic background or something? Perhaps they don't want non-gangbangers appreciating the story? |
Leave it out, it's not clever - perhaps your just missing the fucking point. It's supposed to be like that and if your stuck for what's being said utilise the subtitles option. I never had any problems until occasionally in an actual mission - and that was only because of the background noise.
| Quote: | 3. Missions.
Pretty unforgiving. Slightest fuckup on your part and you fail. Especially the beggining one where its you on a bike vs. a car full of uzis.
You have to follow your buddy back to an unknown point. The only problem is, if you dont go FASTER than your buddy , the car will crash into you and rape you. So basically you slow down to wait for his fat fuckin ass..meanwhile taking damage, until you know where to go. Restart, go faster, to the point you found out last time, bleh. Its doable...but clearly not player friendly. Whats with this tap the "specified key" to go faster? What is this...a fuckin button mashing contest? |
Welcome to the Grand Theft Auto series my friend. The missions have ALWAYS been unforgiving and your right they don't make an exception for anyone in San Andreas. Par for the course I'm afraid, I personally found it to be pretty straightforward enough besides the odd mission where I got stuck.
The beauty of getting stuck in GTA though is that you don't HAVE to complete the mission, you can always go off and do your own thing whilst you calm down from the fustration of having screwed up the fourth time in a row.
The game will realise your having difficulty with a mission and make it easier - and combined with your knowledge of said mission (having attempted it 15 times) you'll find yourself completing it eventually.
| Quote: | 4. Lack of station variety.
Well, you have 9 stations devoted to gangster rap, a dub, some modern ass one (still gangsterish), a country station, a talk station, and a custom
No way to toggle it so that every time you enter a car, one station is automatically turned on. Keeping have to fip through shit. |
I was disappointed with the radio selection myself and there isn't any classic radio hosts that had me laughing or interested either. The advertisements are first class but other than that the radio is a bore.
EXCEPT for the intermissions that occur throughout the game, whether it's weather, San Andreas developments or updates after completing missions for example. So I always had it on in case of one of them popping up as they are a nice treat.
You can have it automatically tune to the station of your choice on the PS2 btw, it's part of the sound options as far as I remember.
| Quote: | 5. Gimmicky Gameplay Bullshit
Didn't get too far, but I did experience the eating/working out section. Pure button mashing bullshit/shallow choice. Enough said. |
You honestly thought it would be anything else?
| Quote: | Bottom line: It beats GTA: VC in regards to graphical appeal, size, and scope. However, it fails HORRIBLY in regards to control scheme, camera control, and storyline appealingness (pure opinion there, however). Maybe it gets better down the line, but I just couldn't enjoy this/wade through all the bullshit to get there.
My two cents. No doubt alot of you guys will like it, nothing wrong with that. But they didn't remedy any of the problems of the previous one gameplay wise, simply added to it. Undeserving of the high ratings its gettting everywhere. |
I understand what your saying, and in a way I agree with you, but once you stick at it and go through the game some more (and get involved in the storyline - something that doesn't happen from the first few missions) you'll start to enjoy the game a lot more.
To say it doesn't deserve the high ratings is wrong in my opinion, once you've played this right the way through you can understand the high ratings - it's a great game in it's own right, regardless of whether it hasn't actually moved the franchise forward or not.
Oh, and as for control scheme and camera control - well it was the same as always for me on the PS2 so I'm not sure what PC users are talking about there. |

Oh mein gott, what a bunch of whiners.
What did you expect a bunch of gangsters to speak? Fluent british english?
"Oi! Jolly good chap, be a nice feller and hand me sum crisps, ey?"
Or perhaps the spanish mob to have a french accent? Would that be more realistic?
"Ah! Ze térrible, evyl enemeee has stuuurmed le garage! Fetchér les sabots! Now we show dem truuu sabotaage, eh! Francois?"
If you don't like a game that deals with gangsters in american suburbs, don't play GTA: SA!, It's quite as simple as that.
It's because of morons like you that Hollywood ruin authentic WW2-movies, where germans speak american, russians british, and whatnot.
Here's one for you: FUCK YOU!, Quit your yapping, any more bitching and you'll need tampons.
---
As for some glitches with sound, engine, etc. - I agree with most of ya. However, I'm starting to get used to it. Hardly any games nowadays are bug free on release :/ (unfortunately). It's a tradition of ALL games, not just GTA.
I'm having a blast with this game, I bet you would too if you didn't have that long piece of wood shoved up ... you know the rest.
If you like the game, good! Let's talk.
If you don't, then don't write here ... it isn't like you paid money for this any way? Or did you? In which case you should bring your issues where they MIGHT do some good ... such as to the developers, ROCKSTAR. Are you expecting us to fix your issues?
Well I doubt there's anyone trained well enough here to cure such ailments.
Have a nice day.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

Only thing missing really is a randomizer for the custom radio. Great game, if you have a gamepad i recommend using it while driving.

Quoted for fucking truth.
BTW, if you can't complete the first cycling mission in this game then there is something seriously wrong.

While the NPC skins seem to be slighter been then VC, does anyone else think the cars are far less interesting and not nearly as good as the VC cars?
Next on a few missions the cutscenes are completely silent and in the first OG Loc mission has a big where the music just won't play. I've only ran through it once and I'll try again but it might be a complete show stopper.

I dont think its to bad.
But VC was better.
Its the way that the cars and other stuff er "placed" in the world
its like they took a backbround and then just placed the cars and stuff on it.
altso, all the stuff that you can mash up, whats the deal if it falling trough the ground? so you cant make round blocks of it or smash yourself into it.

Tap the "forward"-button (the one you accelerate with).
The faster you tap, the faster he speeds up.

Make shortcuts of your mp3 files and put them in my document\gta san andreas user files\User tracks.
When done, go to the audio setup in the game, choose player radio and scan for the files.
