Watched Milk. Yet another gay film that has zero cock shots in it. Disappointed.

FYI, if you want cock shots watch that Gaspar Noe film about some dudes hunting a guy who raped Monica Belluci for ten minutes, called Irréversible. Not only does it have the best opening to a film ever, with multiple dicks, disorientating cinematography and some guy getting his head caved in, but it also has the longest and most awesome rape scene ever.

Brilliant film tbh.

When I said shit I was aiming it at the workout thing..

What was it you didn't like about SA then?

It was empty, shallow, overly silly. I hated CJ and most other characters. Felt like playing a big, horrible music video.

It's not a terrible game. Not even a bad game. It's just the worst GTA game.

Well I think they're all pretty solid films, with a few of them being very good/excellent. Iron Man, Captain America and The Avengers being the best. Iron Man 2 is still a fun film, I remember Hulk being a decent story and Thor is ridiculous but I loved it for that. Embrace them, you heathens.

Crane's got it pretty much right, though I do enjoy Iron Man quite a bit.

Captain America's so fucking boring, I felt like crying.
And Abbott if you liked The Incredible Hulk, I'm gonna have to punch you. Really, really hard.

Nah that was shit.

I can understand if you do not think it is the best of the series but it in no way is it the worst.

See, the first statement of yours is just plain wrong. A regular shitfest of ignorance. Ballad of Gay Tony was fantastic.

And by the "series" I mean the games on the consoles. I don't mean GTA 1, 2, or any of the handheld games.
And then yes, yes it is definitely the worst.

He's so boring. His face is dull, his voice is dull. He's a dull actor, and yet he's seen as the 'perfect East End hard-man'.

Great in Sexy Beast though.

You should watch all the Marvel films that lead up to the Avengers and then the Avengers.

Sounds like a ridiculously shit time.

Ballad of Gay Tony is pretty much the tone I want for GTA V.

Trust Platypus to called SA the worst GTA game.

Trust DB to love the GTA game that forces you to work out.

I meant vehicle customisation rather than character customisation. I can understand why you wouldn't want that though. That's not to say you can't have character customisation and not have a fleshed out character. Look at Dragon Age. But you know that. You're just trying to make a point. The town in SR3 isn't amazing, but I still think it's better than Liberty City. In SR3, it feels like you at least have something to do or somewhere to go, even if you don't really. In GTAIV, it just feels like nothings going on. Apart from missions, what else is there to do? Dates? Hanging out with the NPCs? That was tedious.

But you're still comparing the two based on story and stuff like that. I don't understand why.

Story's a big part of the experience for me, and I'll always bring it up, even if people go "the story in Saints Row doesn't matter". Well then, the game doesn't matter to me.
As for gameplay, I still prefer GTA. Sure, you can say it's clunky and slower than Saints Row, but I'm not a big fan of the arcade like controls and gameplay of that game.

I just prefer the density and life of Liberty City.. the people there seem like they have some sort of objective. Where Saints Row seems a bit more like a cardboard cutout town.

The city is more vibrant, the side quests are more engaging, the city control is a nice touch with the rival gangs, the gunplay is better, the driving is better, the helicopter and plane piloting is a million times better, the level of customisation is better and the story is told in a more dynamic way. You can go "oh, I want to do a quest with Pierce/KInzie/Zimos" and there's more flexibility. Like there are quests which you have to do at a certain time and the non urgent stuff you can kind of do in whichever order you like. They also didn't just call you up and have a cry if you didn't answer the phone.

In no way do I think GTA and Saints Row are competitors anymore. In the past they were, but they've each found their niche. Having said that, if you look beyond the styling and the realism, for want of a better word, there are a lot of things Rockstar could learn from Saints Row. I completed Saints Row in a week. I didn't complete GTAIV because the keyboard controls were fucking awful. I've had a lot of fun playing it with my friend but she does the driving. Role reserval yo.

But comparing them thematically is stupid. It's like comparing Halo with Serious Sam.

Stop playing it on a fucking PC.

And in no way is the city more vibrant. The city is dead as shit, and boring looking. Sure the side quests are perhaps more interesting, but the story is fucking dreadful, so what's the point? Customisation I couldn't give two shits about, I actually don't want it. I want a fully formed character, I don't want some empty hole that I can make wear a banana on his head.

It all depends on what you want I guess. If you want to run around an empty playground spraying shit on civilians or if you want a videogame crime story. I know I want the latter, but I also know a lot of people want the former.

What exactly did Saints Row bring to the table? It basically just took San Andreas (the worst GTA game) and slightly turned up the ridiculousness. Rockstar were smart enough to realise that they wanted to bring the franchise in another direction, and really, Grand Theft Auto is the only game series that consistently brings the audience an even remotely smart/mature and also funny gangster crime story.

It has its problems, as does every game series, but it's still miles ahead of any other game of its type.

I just love how he goes away to university for a few months and suddenly thinks he's seen as some sort of stud.

"Hey, remember that really weird guy that used to go on about Italy all the time?"
"Oh right, that absolute spastic that used to hang out with all the German foreign exchange students who didn't have the heart or the vocabulary to tell him to fuck off?"
"Exactly. Well he's at uni now"
"Fuck me, my knickers have never been wetter."

They are games that you see Asian people play all the time and think 'wtf are they playing?'

Ok, that's definitely getting closer.

Ede comes with two godawful suggestions and then one good one.
The first two Scream films are great fun, 3 is absolutely ludicrous, and quite shit, and 4 is just.. shit.
