About Me

edit

Well, I'm just your normal 16 year kid that's in high school, and happens to be a webmaster and blogger. I blog about everything that I like. I have a personal blog, gaming blogs, and some other different technology blogs. I make websites for people as a freelance job, to help make money for my future college entrance, but until then, I'll just do it freelance, and not as a complete 24/7 job.

DefaultPrime.com - Technology and Gaming News
SlackrMedia.com - Company Website/Blog Network

Well, I guess I'll talk about my interests. Well, I like skateboarding, and am an amateur snowboarder, and like to hang out with friends whenever I get the chance to. I own a Nintendo DS, a GameCube, a Wii, NES, SNES, N64, GBA, PS2, and PS1. I love RPG's and platformers, and am a huge Nintendo fan (hence the Nintendo site that I run).

Currently playing:

DS:
Lock's Quest (thanks jim!)

Wii:
New Super Mario Bros Wii

360:
Left 4 Dead 2
Modern Warfare 2

Has GTA IV Lived up to ALL of your expectations?
PaperBowser0 \| 4:09 PM on 05.07.2008	14 comments

Okay, so I'll be the first to say that I haven't played the game yet, but am planning on getting it and playing the hell out of it soon. I don't have a lot of money just now buying my new laptop which makes me sad, but I have a question for all of you people in destructoid land. has GTA IV really lived up to all of your expectations? I mean the game has been in development for a while, tons of expectations were set, graphics, game play, and other stuff, but was it really want you wanted and hoped for in the end, and is it definitely worth the money that you shell out for it? I'm going to get it and play it no matter what and I'm sure that it's going to be great, and I'm never going to go outside for a week, but what do you guys think?

I really didn't have expectation on it. But that could be cause I wasn't reelly paying attention to the pre hype towards it.

but I also haven't played it since Wed of last week.

You shouldn't be playing an M rated game PB. ;P

And if you go in expecting a prettied up GTA game, then yes.

Conrad Zimmerman

So far, it's everything I've expected it to be. Of course, I haven't actually played it yet but I'm still having fun with it.

I wouldn't go into a game with the expectation that it would prevent me from leaving the house. Then again, I'm not 14 anymore either, so I can see how it works for you.

bbrigg1

I expected not to buy it, and I didn't. So, yes.

Conrad Zimmerman

Oh, and forums please. This is not a blog post and you are not a journalist.

I love the game. It reached far beyond all of my expectations. The physics engine is phenomenal. The radio stations are all very diverse and excellent. The gameplay is smooth (for the most part) with the combat/movement. Online is a total blast... Oh and the story is the best thing ever.

maybe.... but I think you might find out more in the forums

It did, but I was expecting it to be a little longer mission wise

almost the fucking thing doesn't have custom soudtrack
I want my AC/DC

It's definitely the best one of the series in my opinion, and I consider myself an arm-chair expert on the series. I've been playing it for 10 years, so... :P

But in short: Yea, it's good. The driving will make you think it sucks (maybe) for like an hour, but you get used to it. It's not as easy as before.

leiden

No, it hasn't.

@Conrad: I'm not trying to be a journalist dip-shit, I was just wondering if it was actually worth the money, and I've heard that it was actually worst, don't think I'll hate it as much as Jim though.
