GTA: Chinatown Wars

Anyone played this yet? I got it on Friday and it's really, really impressed me so far. It's amazing everything Rockstar have managed to cram into that little cart. The graphics are awesome, easily the best looking game I've seen on DS, the controls are great, the cars handle well, and even the little touch screen gimmicks they've thrown in are good.

I'm also really impressed by the size of the map - they've managed to cram two islands of Liberty City in, and it's pretty much a replica of the GTAIV map from what I can tell. It's kind of hard to recognise anything with the viewpoint and graphics being so different, but there are definately parts I remember from the console versions.

Finally, the missions are actually surprisingly good too, I'm only about an hour or two in, but they've created a few different types of missions that are nice additions to the old go-here-get-this formula. They won't set the world alight, but it's nice to have something new to do in Liberty City. Anyway, I really can't put it down. It's highly recommended to anyone looking for something new to play on their DS.

i just traded in all my DS'es and replaced them with DSi preorders, but i do have chinatown wars and pokemon platinum sitting ont he bench for now. That means unfortunately, all i have is my psp 1 and 2000 to play, so ill probably just update the custom firmware for them until next week when i can actually play. The game does look amazing though and there were so many doubters lol.

Custom Firmware? You hack your psp too dont you? So think twice before you antagonize me about hacking MY psp.
You know, i gave my DS to my grandma and im ac tually very much looking forward to this summer because that is when i can play GTA chinatown. By then it should drop in price and i can have a nice summer playing it. Anticipatory :)

At the time i wasn't aware the auto updater doesnt really work for the 1000 and you have to get it off the psp website instead.

Its funny how he tries to make me out like him since he had no good arguments in other threads. Ha, Dont believe it.

Quality of arguments elsewhere aside, In fairness, all he said was:

Please, that shit is way too complicated for the average user, too annoying to keep up with, and the 1000 doesn't even have enough memory to run skype. Dont use Piracy as a selling point, its childish.
Now, I'm not on anyone's side here, but all Pokemisha said was that you could play homebrew and emulators on a hacked PSP. You were quite rightly picked up for hypocrisy in this thread, and you're the one who brought up piracy over there, not him. Guilty conscience, much?

not really. I was just pointing out that on top of it being a bad selling point, its very complicated if one was to even want to take that point and run with it. I thought you would know what i ment without having explain myself on that. This guy is not pointing out any hypocrisy, hes trying to do a 180 from his original ignorant comment .

I said nothing about you hacking your psp in this thread, therefore your carrying over another Issue into this thread. Fail again.

Dude, do you lik stalk this website? Just when i finished writing... there you are...
ANYWAYS, am i slow?
No dumbass, what i was saying is that in THIS topic i merely pointed out your hypocrisy. I had/have no intention of debating hacking and psps with you in this thread. Thats what the other 2 are for.
Quote:
therefore your carrying over another argument into this thread. Fucking fail
dumbass, im not carrying it over. Im referencing it. LETS SAY, a boy is talking bout princes. Then he mentions alladin and his deception as a passing point. Is the whole conversation going to be about alladin now? No, and in the same way, this conversation is not about psp hacking but hypocrisy and apparently, what are your attempts to destroy my argument by pointing bad grammar

I wasn't pointing out your grammar, im point out that your "referencing" as you want to call it, is essentially carrying over subject matter from another thread and then trying to call me for doing the same back to you. You can call it whatever you want, you were wrong. You cant out argue me. Im going to leave it at that for once.


And i work in a Network operations center 12 hours a day, i have websites and computers and tvs all over the fucking place. Be jealous.

Youd be surprised what i can argue
But you are right, too much arguing is unhealthy. You win this round
And yes, i am jealous of your destroyed eyesight (u prolly wear glasses), pasty skin (inside a lot=uh oh????). But you do use the interenet all day... so you got me there -_____-

Wrong. However, It is amazing what one can assume of someone over the internet, but this isnt 1985, computers aren't just for geeks anymore FYI. Just on the subject, im pretty sure there are more things one could assume just through your screenname. correct?
