OT: Xbox 360/PS3/Wii

[ReasonablySober]

It's not practice. Guitar Hero really has nothing in common with playing real guitar. It's just really a fun experience, especially when you're a bit lit up with friends. Personally, I like Rock Band more.

[Chapter29]

I never exactly thought to look in this thread since I, you know, don't have an Xbox. But that's okay...

So how far is everyone in GTA? Or are you too busy playing online? I haven't tried out the multiplayer yet.

I am a serious noob. Not very far in the game and can't aim worth a dam. I am so used to the keyboard and mouse (far superior) and my brain is struggling to adjust.

So I will practice a bit and hope for the best.

The game is fun though. I just went on my 2nd date with that girl, but I tend to go a little crazy stealing cars and getting into chases with the cops. Just got arrested and lost my gun and knife. Ugh.

What makes Guitar Hero more fun than playing a real guitar? I haven't played the game yet, but I always hear about how great it is. I just don't see the point of practicing on a guitar that has buttons for strings. I have already bought pretty decent sounding guitars for $50 and $100.

I play guitar. There is no comparison between GH and playing a real guitar. GH is a VIDEO GAME. It's a blast. Playing a real guitar (I have a Fender) is fun too. But you can't compare the two, they are nothing alike.

[Ryan5UW]

DB and MD are both exactly right about Guitar Hero - it's just fun to play, adding in some drinks never hurts and the soundtrack is pretty decent too...

[MickeyDavis]

My son has both GH and RB. I think GH is more fun, I like the music selection much more and I think the drums and vocals of RB are pretty lame.

[showtimesam]

I have a Wii...
Mario Kart online is a blast, and Mario Galaxy is great as well.

Plus Wii Sports is a great game to have when you have some friends over.

If you really like side scrolling games a DS might be a good bet for you. My brother has Castlevania for it and loves it.

PS:
My Xbox 360 was recently fixed, and now I'm trying to debate if I should trade it in and get a PS3 to avoid anymore hardware problems and also watch Blu-Ray movies on my HDTV.

Hmmm, it would be tough to give up Halo...

[jerrod]

i play guitar and bass and i can't imagine it's anything like it


i've heard though, that if you can do well on the rockband drums at a high difficulty level, you'd actually be able to play a real drum set decently

[smacks1]

I have GH & RB. I think GH is a little more challenging (comparing guitar parts) I do like the weekly updated DLC from RB and I find myself playing (or attempting) to play the drums. GH also has plans to add vocals, mic and drums in the future as wel.

Anyway, I have put them both down for the last week since I picked up GTA. The graphics are decent, but the freeplay and scope of the game are amazing.

I'm also going to be picking up Singstar when it comes out, and the wife wants to pick up Wii Fit in may which looks to be an interesting concept.

[Max Green]

Anyone that has this game having problems with it freezing at all? I want to buy it but I've heard there have been some issues

Nope, it hasn't froze up on me at all and I pretty much leave it on all day. Also it's a little bit harder then the previous versions as far as fighting and dealing with the police is concerned. The police will automatically unload on you if you touch them or there car.

My last GTA4 mission was throwing a brick into a guys shop. After that I mainly horse around or do online cops and crooks.

I won't ruin the plot, but I'm a couple missions past that.

I would be if my xbox wasn't broken.
So I sent my enzo, mclaren f1 gt, ME Four-Twelve Concept, and 66 Ford GT40 to my friend. Those cars dominate online.

I like the moral decisions in GTA that you encounter throughout the game, I felt pretty bad about one of my decisions afterward.

[A Diddy2231]

My toughest decision is this game was, who to light up first? Jerrod or Supreme lol

[Johnny Newman]

Is there a fast way to get rich on GTA4 for story mode? I usually run over a crowd of people and slam on the brake and hop out and maybe get like $100 for like 5 kills. Its not a quick rich scheme though. How many kills you all total up so far?

Its not exactly quick either but, Look for civilians at ATMs, wait for them to finish (im not sure if you need to wait, but i do just in case), then go mug their ass. It gives you more money than random people. (Unless of course you happen to luck out and pick a rich civilian or something, then maybe its comparable idno). But yeah, if youre near an ATM look for someone that uses it.

Do the missions, I have about $450,000. I got $250,000 in a mission where I had to rob a bank.
