San Andreas First Impressions

RobHardo · Oct 25th, 2004, 08:17 PM

I am very, very, very impressed with the game. But there are some control issues I would like to touch on. I am used to drivng with my d-pad, so it's a whole new game for me. The health(eating and getting fat stuff) has not been a problem as I thought it would be. As of now, I haven't completed but 6 or 7 missions, I have really been into the exploration of Los Santos. I found some shortcuts, that i will most definetly use.
I will add more in about an hour, gunan head back to the game.

-post ur impressions

GameMind · Oct 25th, 2004, 08:34 PM

So how is going man?? what`s the viechels looks like?? usual?, and the chicks??
is the man cool??

Berserker · Oct 26th, 2004, 01:18 AM

I'll have to wait for two more days, but I'll get back with you on this one

RobHardo · Oct 26th, 2004, 06:06 AM

To me, i think I have encountered nothing but new vehicles. They look a bit alike, but definetly new vehicles all together. I am now a firm believer this is the best game I've ever played. Rockstar even beefed up the language in the game. Uhmmmm.....

I'll post more during study Hall- gotta head to school.

RobHardo · Oct 26th, 2004, 04:50 PM

Ok- I want some impressions dangit!

I've just gotten home from cross country practice, and I'd like to post before i get on the game, because i'll be there for a while.
What kind of gear has everyone gotten on, i went with a trucker, camo pants and the green hoodie. and a beard. and ive robbed three houses successfully. I love this game..............love it ok good bye for a couple of hours

Hyuuga Neji · Oct 26th, 2004, 09:53 PM

The game is very customizable compared to vice but the story for vice took me in more, and vice didnt have the compression problems that i noticed that San Andrea's has, certain points seem to "lag" up due to them not doing the compression like it was in vice but it is still a neat game.

GameMind · Oct 27th, 2004, 03:40 PM

There is only one thing I wanna know.. What about the grafics?? Is it good like Vice cite`s??

GameMind · Oct 27th, 2004, 05:03 PM

HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!! How it can be a multiplayer????

RobHardo · Oct 27th, 2004, 05:14 PM

I haven't gone in depth with my research on multiplayer, but my hypothesis is that you can play two player on the mini-games, not the actual game itself, and the graphics are a beefed up a bit more than vice city, an dIm agreeing hyuuga in that the story isn't as captivating(yet) as that of vice city. Perhaps i've been doing to much exploring, perhaps not. But one things for surem I'm gunan stop typign and go play.

RobHardo · Oct 27th, 2004, 06:57 PM

My First Impression: My Doormat Is Sure Missing This Gam @Tm - Amazon dispatched it today but I better get it tomorrow

GameMind · Oct 28th, 2004, 05:45 PM

I won`t buy my ten games untill this game is avaiable in Egypt

, You guy just make me excited every day I come here

dan da man · Oct 28th, 2004, 05:59 PM

8 hours and counting until I grab my copy, my first impressions will be up tomorrow, I CANT WAIT!!! ahhh, its to crazy.

MakgSnake · Oct 28th, 2004, 06:55 PM

I think the game is fun. I really really liked it. I love the fact that the car models are done better now, they look more real and better 3D shades are on them. And I like the fact about the idea that you have to eat and workout and then go get a haircut and dress up. Earning respect is a cool idea too. If you dont have respect, people will treat you like shit, but if you do....they wont say anything to you and you can boss then around as well.

The CITY is HUGE!!!!!!, I tried going from one end to another, and man....it takes a WHILE, which is good (Because thats how it is in real life), and no more loading times from one part of the city to another.

I have put more time on it and see how the story turns out, the characters are so funny in the game, but I have to say, the game is too black for me, no offense, its so funny and gets the feel of african american, but sometimes I dont even understand what they are saying and the slang they are using. I had to turn the subtitles on.

Over all, the game is amazing. And I like the fact I play as a new character who is totally different from "The Main Guy" and "Tommy". CJ is cool as hell.

Do you know what I mean now

MADRUCKIS · Oct 29th, 2004, 12:11 AM

huge isnt even the word

I got lost 4-5 times while out on "joyrides"

I couldnt find my way back to the missions (cj's home) took me awhile to realize the S stood for Smokey and not for south lol

and I accidentally rode a bmx bike onto the freeway

nuff said

Mushu4eva · Oct 29th, 2004, 07:06 AM

Has anyone tried swimming yet? i'm still waiting for my copy of the game but i been waiting since iheard news of it and i'm going CRAZZZZZZZZZZZY, GUESS I CAN WAIT A LITTLE LONGER. aare the police really tougher than in the past installments?

dan da man · Oct 29th, 2004, 10:47 AM

I got my game this morning and played it for 5 hours now, I’ve still got no where in los santos its that big, I’ve cruised and cruised done about 7 missions and CJ, sweet, smoke and ryder are really cool they fit they part well.

My favourite thing yet is able to customize CJ, I’ve got tattoos, new clothes, and been training in the gym and learnt new moves, the whole of idea of upgrading CJ is no hassle at all, just made it so much better, I still cant get my head round the fact the game so big, and I’ve only discovered hardly any characters, my best transport up to yet is the BMX, it's so fast and good for you at the same time, take shortcuts, up to yet I haven’t found many cars all of them are the same average cars, I got a banshee and that much better than VC version, so yeah my first impression this games a real winner yet I’ve haven’t even scratched the can yet is to big I keep getting lost when I go outside my hood, oh well its damn fun and slick.

-PSX- · Oct 29th, 2004, 01:10 PM

Apart from the fact that this is gonna take me weeks to do the missions (cos I wanna explore the land) - this game is HUGE!

The vehicles, textures, graphics etc are better than Vice City and it makes the game a whole better experience.

The music fits with the game but its not all rap (Radio X is my favourite station @tm).

The whole game is so much more fun and enjoyable to play and I need to play more...

Laters!
