I'm old enough to remember them losing their minds over San Andreas
There’s still a GAF thread on that shyt

All of a sudden, no one had an interest in playing GTA. :mjlol:

Being a cac Italian gangster felt more realistic, etc etc.

If it wasn’t so pathetic, one might actually be upset with the bombing. It’s to be expected with these fragile fukks.

Played up to the mines in Act One. It's a cool game but unless things really ramp up in the next 3 acts, 7-8/10 territory is where this game will reside and that's fine. Joint is $20. $18 if you pre-ordered. I'm just happy to support a Black game made by Black developers. :manny:


Game doesn’t look bad at all but I'm not seeing why it was necessary to have Quality and Performance options for graphics. :mjpls:

And as far as the actual platforming and combat...the new Prince of Persia from earlier this year does it way better :mjpls:

About an hour in... I'm pleasantly surprised :ohhh:

I did not expect the art direction to be this good. It looks nice, it sounds GREAT (they killing it with the Kora and the flute) and the voice acting is perfect.

It's promising gameplay wise, it looks like you can really get to cutting up by juggling enemies, switching constantly between masks and staying on the move.

I didn't expect the narrative to happen through a story with a modern day narrator. That's pretty interesting too, I wonder what will come of it.

Oh, and the Hades-like illustrations :banderas:

Yeah the game looks and sounds beautiful and the mechanics aren't just for combat but you can freeze rivers and things like that. It's really impressive.
