It is quite possible that I am the one of the only people in the world who really wants GTA IV, has no restrictions on buying a copy, has a console for it, has plenty of disposable income for it, time to play it, but still doesn't have a copy. And it's all playasia's fault.
It's important to realise that I'm in Australia. You've probably heard about the censorship and like a sane person, not really cared. I, however, am clearly not a sane person because I thought it would be a good idea to cancel my pre-order and import a copy from playasia. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I mean, it would be cheaper, it would be uncensored and it would arrive maybe a day later, after all, their website said that they'd be getting their copy in April, why wouldn't I do it?
Because Playasia are cunts that's why!
So what's happening now is my copy of GTA IV will arrive this tuesday afternoon. More than a week after its initial release, and it will barely be any different to a launch copy.
I have bought from playasia before and had no problems but this has severely damaged their reputation for me. I realise that they couldn't help it, but they should not have advertised that they were getting copies in April if they weren't getting them until May 2. It's only a few days but it turns into a week because they won't transport it on a weekend.
Well, anyway I had a reasonably free weekend this week cause I don't have much Uni work this week so it sucks I didn't get to play, but I'm not that pissed because I got to finish my game of Shadow of the Colossus, and I would like to add that I am very happy that I did, because it was a really fun game and had one of the best videogame endings I've seen.
Best Colossus
Also, Wander and Agro make Kratos look like a little bitch.
Yeah I know that was a pointless blog, but God's been on my ass for a while to do one. At least there's a picture.
Hmm. I hope watching some virtual prostitute sex is worth a weeks delay. :P
NO KARTOS CAN KILL EVRYONE EVEN MASTER CHIEF WTF IS THIS WANDER BITCH
Also, best colossus is the fourth.
I also purchased the game from overseas for the same reason, and I am also still waiting. I got mine from Ebay though and I have no idea when I'll get it, fingers crossed for this week sometime.
Ya, I'm in the same boat as you my friend. Although I ordered mine in the same country I'm in. Still, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait for us. Who knows maybe they'll magically have a patch by the time we get it.
I'm gonna give that Shadow of the Colossus a go this week, I've had it for a few months allready, but never got around to playing it due to other titles coming up ( Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, GTA4 etc etc ) but I've heard so many great things about this game the last couple of days here on dtoid that I'm really really curious :-D
If I had Shadow of the Colossus, a console to play it on, a TV to display it on, electricity to run it, fully working limbs and fingers and the free time to do so, I would play Shadow of the Colussus.
Sadly I lack them all. :(
(just kidding, I'm only lacking the limbs)
Shadow of the Colossus should be at the top of your priority list, no matter what's coming up. It may be the most beautiful* games of all time, and, if not for the clunky camera, one of the best games of all time.
