:stoned Read if you like videogames<

I'm a videogame freak, i've played it all since i was 6, arcade pong then space invaders then pac man and every single cuarter muncher up to present day.

I got my first computer just to play videogames at home (C= 64) and played every damn game available for that wonderful little brown breadbox.

Then the commodore amiga 500 came along and the joy of near arcade perfect ports, nintendo, snes, PC and adventure/strategy/fps, psx, dc, ps2,gba, palm, pocket pc, mobile phone games... whatever genre, if there was a videogame created, i've played it.

If you wonder why, the country i live in is a piracy haven, no originals are released here becasue of the tremendous % of piracy... 100% (i've bought imported originals for some of the games that i really felt deserved it, and it's really a burgeon to get them)

I check ign, gamespot, gamespy slashdot games and every other mainstream gaming publication there is. Even some "underground" or games industry only like gamasutra and insertcredit.

I have even played obscure text mode adventures, hentai "choose your own adventure" games, online flash and shockwave shit.

That being said, it is my obligation to inform the gfy community that:



GTA SAN ANDREAS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE SINGLE BEST VIDEOGAME EVER CREATED UP TO THIS DAY, FOR EVERY GENRE COMBINED, ON EVERY PLATTFORM.


seriously.


if you like videogames you HAVE to get this one as soon as possible and play it at least 30 hours to BEGIN to get a taste of all of its features.

Graphics? they suck, there are better looking games available for the ps2. Framerate? it suffers, there is noticeable dropdown in framerate and some drawing distance problems as well as shitty textures everywhere.

sound? it's good, hillarious random speech of pedestrians, nice sound effects, KILLER soundtrack.

Playability?

THIS is what GTA: SA is all about, you have a INMENSE sandbox of shit to do, sims-like character development, strategy-like territory taking and realtime warfare, Burnout 3-like racing, lucasarts-like storyline and humor, and a huge living, breathing city to do as the fuck you want to do. i mean HUGE as in GIGANTIC and i'm not enumerating any detail.

THIS is the game that renders all of my previous gaming experience to hell, i can not play any other game from now on, it RUINED and at the same time took my gaming habit to a whole new level.

I don't think i could play any other videogame from now on, the rest feels like pong all over again.
