I Played both Far Cry and Vice City for the pc,in that order. I got way more replay and fun value from the GTA title. Graphics quality means jack compared to fun quality.
o/t but I always notice that 5th element has a real love hate thing goin on... i personally think it was a piece of garbage but a surprising number of people seem to like it... then again a surprising number of people like pro wrestling....
Holy crap, if MP2 sucked what do you think is a good game?

Now Slashdot will never front page my econoline with the Cray XMP in the back! It serves mp3s, controls my dome light brightness level and runs a meteorological simulation for 300 sq. kilometers. It calls me Dave for some reason. I only had to cut a teensy weensy hole in the roof and add nine batteries.
Dude, the Islamic faith is not a violent religion. The current leaders of some factions happen to be a bit off-kilter(wacko) but every religion has had their taste of that (ie crusades, sp. inquisition etc).
Hell i used to think Hindu's were the peace-lovinest until I found out more about the caste system in India. Seems that _some_ of them are a bit psycho as well.
Read "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry. Beautiful and painful.
"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "Noah's Ark is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have occurred by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed at the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best-selling book, 'Well That About Wraps It Up for God.'
I have faith in this title since I am playing through Bethesda's Elder Scrolls III:Morrowind for the third or fourth time... I am still finding things that I missed and entire questlines I didn't follow. These cats give good game. I don't think that there is a better RPG out there.
This stories up for three hours and/.'rs are already figuring out how to break this lame tech. The current copyright laws are screwed and partial. I look forward to the day when the RIAA lies down and dies.
Here's another reason to deprive them of money... Recording artists have a habit of losing it and *sucking* when they get fat and rich. Poor artists tend to produce better work. Do you believe that a musician deserves to be a multi-millionaire? Maybe... but Metallica used to truly rock and now they are a shadow of their former selves. They don't have to worry about me stealing there music anymore, no-sir-ee bob.
I am a busy pirate type guy. Luckily I'm in Canada and can't have my IP released to cop-types.
I will not pay for overpriced music cd's ever.
I will not pay $60-$90 for a videogame.
I do buy used software and music on occasion. I often buy new dvd's even although I can pirate them as well(and I do).
I have not been impressed enough to go after a new online game since I bought my 'Generations Pack"(HL1, CS, OpFor). All my gaming mates switched to BF:1942. I actually bought and returned it because the netcode blew(I don't know if they fixed that yet). I will buy HL2 the day it comes out because I know it will rock.
MS *DID* benefit greatly from it's early OS's being pirated across the planet. If you tell me they didn't I will simply call you a ninny.
I will buy a quality new game that is released (or reduced)at a reasonable price.
I think that if all the games, record, sw companies went out of business there would be a period of sadness followed by the open sourcers improving upon works already released. I think that these would be on average as good as their professionally developed counterparts.
Hell, if software companies dissappeared (not likely and I hope they don't) your computer would last longer since you wouldn't need a new graphic card every 6 mos. to play open sourced mods.
Anyway my point is that I love developers but hate publishing houses that rape customers wallets. You need to earn my money.
Hey, after this "crackdown" Suprnova.org is still working fine.

Boring, repetitive and repetitive.
This from a guy that loved GTA3 and Vice City.

Hooked right into my 8-track though.
How dare you compare "A Clockwork Orange" to a game like Postal 2?
Crappy models, crappy theme, crappy game.
This is not the 'Killa app' to save linux that's for sure.
Postal 2 would be more fun if it was an actual postal route and your biggest concern was a dog biting your ass.
Whoa... Pretty...
Was your uncles place by chance a farm before the motor law?
