CAG GTAIV Night: Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel[ 9/2 @ 10pm EST ]

Red Faction's getting here tomorrow. :twoguns: I should be down for Thursday.

I'm curious to see Chinatown Wars on PSP, mainly to see if they do anything with the graphics. Also the touchscreen elements added a lot to the game for me so I'm wondering how they'll make up for their absence.
 
Got it from Amazon. With their current discount and ECA membership it's about $51.

But yeah, Ghostbusters! I'm still making my way through the campaign but I'm up for multiplayer in that as well. I played a bit with SoCal and StarkKat last night and it was some good, co-op fun.

Also, any recommendations on a decent Bluetooth headset for cheap? So far nobody's replied to my post in the headset thread. :cold:
 
Uh... We buy games at these places called stores... :roll:

RF... I got mine from Target during the 3 for 2 sale so I got it for ~$40. :whee:

GB... I just beat Azetlor (or however it's spelt) but online is fun, though, with the invite system the way it is, the "no party" setup (can't stay with the people you're with while a new game is created) and the limited online modes (once you catch all the most wanted ghosts and get good enough that you win all the time, it'll get boring) I see it growing old fast. I haven't played RF at all yet, let alone online, but I'd guess it has a better online system with modes that stay fresher longer.

And yeah... I know (think) you already had the Official headset (and sold it), but it's what I'd recommend.:lol: Otherwise, just get something before Wednesday. Can't have you not having a headset during GTA again.

And at least we aren't talking about xbot games.
 
I'm going zen-style with my PS Eye this week, but hopefully by next week I'll have a new headset.

And wut r u kidding d00d I had to get the Xbux version of Ghostbusters since it looks like an NES game on the Gaystation :puke:

Oddly enough, I don't think zen uses his eye anymore. At least, when random is playing at his house, he's really hard to hear where zen is as clear as day which makes me think zen is using a headset.

Enjoy paying to play online with kids on your xbawks... luzer.

$51 for a game?!?!?!?!? I thought this was CHEAPassgamer.com? The last time I paid over $30 for a game was Demon's Souls, but that was $50 SHIPPED.

As for the BT headset thing, I still have the headset from the sealed/new Warhawk bundle I bought from Sears for $10 about 2-3 months ago. It's a Jabra 125 or 215 or whatever. I'll include the mini USB charging cable with it.

I could let it go for like $5 plus first class postage, so probably around $8-9 SHIPPED.

I could pack it up in an old AOL start-up disc case I have lying around here someplace and pad that bad boy so it's not gonna be smushed in transit.

I actually have two of them, including another one which appears unused as well from a USED Warhawk bundle I bought from FYE which was mispriced at $15.99(they still sell them for $39.99 used).

I don't need either headset, since I have the SOCOM wired headset I got from Gamestop for $10.

BTW, I'm still trying to figure out a somewhat shorter version of my version of Shrapnel's race for tomorrow night and the proper type of vehicle to do it in.

I tried racing a F aggio over the tracks going into Broker and it seems like a smooth ride but without turning vehicle damage to 'scrapes only' you're gonna lose your headlight very early on if there's a pileup.

Well, that was $51 shipped as well.

Sometimes people have certain games they just have to play NOW (like you with Demon's Souls)... and I don't know why I'm "arguing" with you... BRB... gonna go pound sand. :cool:;)

Hmmm... subway race with no headlights sounds fun. :lol:

That's with a smaller vehicle like a f aggio, but with a Biff it's pretty tough to knock out the headlights, plus I tested it in Free Mode and not a race.

So unfortunately, there was/is no way to set vehicle damage to 'scrapes only' in Free Mode, so any little bump into the walls of the subway knocks out the lights on smaller and less durable vehicles.

However, for an actual race, it should be possible to do a full race on f aggios in the subway without their lights getting knocked out. But I still do need someone to test this potential race with me. :razz: Unfortunately, I don't see anyone volunteering.
 
[quote name='Shrapnellistic']I guess I'll log on. Isn't there a wide subway station for vehicles to use by the abandoned carnival?[/QUOTE]

Yeah there is. There's a weird, almost L shaped race that we could use that extends into Broker. I'll get on in a bit myself to test this one out, but it requires spinning a U-turn after getting on in mid Algonquin, unless we can find someplace closer.

I really think that even though this course is ALOT longer, that it'll be just as fun as the one you mapped out.

However, I will need you to snap some pics, since I don't have a device to capture screen shots for my PS3.
 
@IAmTheCheapestGamer
Didn't know you wanted me to take pictures. Got confused anyways... Lets wait to see if the reception to the one I plotted is enough to warrant another subway race that would require more coordination.

The thing with that third point where we can try to get on the tracks over in Broker is that station by the closed carnival/amusement part is that it's a bitch to get up the steps at times to get onto the tracks.

As for the end of the race you plotted already, instead of pressing triangle, how about we just drive through the gap in the railing after driving back by the place where we all are going to first enter the subway tracks for the race?

At least in that way it makes it fair for everyone, since the first person to get back to where we should press triangle to respawn back on the road is almost guaranteed to be the winner.

As for the OJ race, we need to have TWO people go find an SUV, since OJ wasn't the one driving the vehicle in the slow speed chase if I remember correctly.

Thanks again for trying to help out with the course I have somewhat plotted. Now I just need to remember where the turn is to get back to the end of the race in Algonquin.
 
[quote name='MillerTime2523']Crap, I forget, do you need to unlock the cell phone to play online? I should probably get to work then if thats the case. :whistle2:([/QUOTE]

Yeah. So if you haven't played this game in forever or just got it you need to at least do the first mission to get to Roman's "mansion" in Dukes/Broker, which also gets you your first trophy.

That's the ONLY friggin' mission I've done in GTA IV since I got my PS3 back from Sony. I have zero desire to really play through this game again, but messing around online is still fun for a good laugh.

I love turning off friendly fire and just sitting there in my car that's on fire watching them be baffled as to WHY I didn't die after they nailed it with 5-8 rockets.

Then I get out like the fuckin' Terminator and blast them with my own rockets and send them flying 5 stories in the air n watch them die on impact with the ground and I get a good laugh.
 
Ah, I did that but I'm not sure if I have the phone or not. I used to have it for 360 and got about half way through, sold it, then picked it up about a week ago for PS3. Haven't really touched it yet, but was waiting for tonights CAG festivities. Thanks for clearing that up now and not right before I get online to play :lol:

:edit: what button is to use the mic? There should be a universal talk button... I never know what button im supposed to press to talk or if its open mic, since no one seems to respond to me either way lol

I'm not sure but I don't think you need the phone to get a multiplayer invite, I could be wrong about that though. I don't think I earned the phone when I restarted a save after the trophy patch and got an invite.

Chat is open mic, no buttons to hit, and trust me the mics are ultra sensitive in this game (that could be different with the non-official mic).

All you have to do is press up on the directional pad on the controller to see if you have the phone.
 
[quote name='Shrapnellistic']And no Transformers:RotF spoilers![/QUOTE]

Awwww cmon.....I managed to find out most of the storyline online this morning just by searching for 'Transformers 2 spoilers' or 'Transformers 2 ending' and just judging by the stuff I've read I'm gonna hate this one like I despised most of the first one.

But I will say.....Frank Welker FTW. He voices one of the characters he used to for the G1 series, but unfortunately it's NOT Megatron still. :cry:

That 'honor' still belongs to Mr. V for Vendetta(Hugo Weaving).

If not for the fact that three of the old school voice actors are back doing voices(Michael Bell is also rumored to be back), I'd be a little more annoyed with this second movie.

I'm ready to try out the track you made Shrapnel and I think it's gonna get a good response, unlike mine which is too damn long and complex to work in a casual gaming night like CAG GTA night.
 
[quote name='metaly']Michael Bay movie spoilers? Really?[/QUOTE]

At the end of the movie,
a lot of shit blows up.

Cue Linkin Park. Roll credits. :roll:
 
Couldn't gauge the Yes Way on the Subway course impressions since I got a PSN error, but during the race it sounded like everyone was having a good time despite me having to play mother goose (didn't think I would need to since it's really a "pedal to the metal" map with 1 fork in the tunnel; hopefully we all know how simple it is now that we've all run it). Too bad we didn't supplement 1 CnC round for The OJ Chase. Great turnout.

@IAmTheCheapestGamer
What happened on the race?

I missed a fucking turn and got lost... :cry:

lol. that's about the point where I gave up for the night. Oh well. Maybe next week.

I got lost, ended up having to hold triangle to get out of the subway and I ended up finishing the race second behind Randy. Then, I got to sit there for another 15 minutes and watch everyone else getting lost.

Suffice to say, I think my course would never make it, people would get SO lost.
 
As of now I'm not sure if I'm going to make the next CAG GTA night(or any for a while)since my router decided to be a bitch after a t-storm yesterday and I'm trying to remember exactly how to bridge the modem I got from Verizon and so on and so forth.

Thing is, with JUST the modem plugged in, the connection is MUCH faster....so maybe I'll drag my current SDtv down where my modem is and disconnect my PC from the connection and only use my PS3 from here on out and do so WIRED.

Decisions, decisions.
 
[quote name='OkeyJokey']The worst part about this game is that 99% of the people have no clue how to play the game.
Rockstar not patching it is second.[/QUOTE]

The only patch I really wanted was the one to add planes and parachutes into the game. :D Hopefully in the next game in the series(probably a re-hash of Vice City)we'll see the ability to base jump, which was sorely missing from this game.
 
OMG if your playing a game with auto aim off and you only use rockets and auto snipers you are a bitch.
I made a second account to deal with these scumbags that only play turf wars the cheapest way that they can find to play.
What a bunch of vaginas. Blood is going to flood the streets soon.
