Michael Chandra: So really the guy's own words strike me as "wah! How dare you disagree with me!" behaviour, which is the sort of childish attitude I am unfortunately not surprised by.10/20/2014 - 2:17pm

Michael Chandra: Correct AE, but then again the owner's own words are about "wishes", not about an order. No "we told him not to", but going against his wishes.10/20/2014 - 2:16pm

Matthew Wilson: yup. sadly that has been true for awhile.10/20/2014 - 2:10pm

Andrew Eisen: Michael Chandra - Unless I overlooked it, we haven't seen how the directive to not talk about whatever he wasn't supposed to talk about was phrased so it’s hard to say if it could have been misconstrued as a suggestion or not.10/20/2014 - 12:35pm

Andrew Eisen: Hey, the second to last link is the relevant one! He actually did say "let them suffer." Although, he didn't say it to the other person he was bickering with.10/20/2014 - 12:29pm

Andrew Eisen: Neo_DrKefka - "Attacking"? Interesting choice of words. Also interesting that you quoted something that wasn't actually said. Leaving out a relevant link, are you?10/20/2014 - 11:04am

Neo_DrKefka: That is correct in an At-Will state you or the employer can part ways at any time. However Florida also has laws on the books about "Wrongful combinations against workers" http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/448.04510/20/2014 - 10:07am

james_fudge: he'd die if he couldn't talk about Wii U :)10/20/2014 - 9:16am

Michael Chandra: By the way, I am not saying Andrew should stop talking about Wii-U. I find it quite nice. :)10/20/2014 - 8:53am

Michael Chandra: 'How dare he ignore my wishes and my advice! I am his boss! I could have ordered him but I should be able to say it's advice rather than ordering him directly!'10/20/2014 - 8:52am

Michael Chandra: If GP goes "EZK, do not talk about X publicly for a week, we're preparing a big article on it" and he still tweets about X, they'd have a legitimate reason to be pissed.10/20/2014 - 8:52am
|
Michael Chandra: If GP tells Andrew "we'd kinda prefer it if you stopped talking about Wii-U for 1 week" and he'd tweet about it anyway, firing him for it would be idiotic.10/20/2014 - 8:51am

Michael Chandra: Legal right, sure. But that doesn't make it any less pathetic of an excuse.10/20/2014 - 8:50am

I’m too tired of Rockstar and all their crap to supper another game that will be praised by the game-magazine and witch-hunted by politicians. No doubt that it’s a good game, but I’m just sick and tired of the endless coverage about it.
Could you not take the time you're using to look at the love/hate coverage and use that time to instead play the game?
If I get sent a review copy I'll naturally play it, otherwise I'm quite disinterested.
XBOX 360 version, by the way.
I know both versions will have multiplayer but I know that the 360 version will charge you to play online and nothing has been stated about charges for the PS3 version.
I am hoping they don't.
It also has not been stated that there will be a difference between the PS3 and 360 DLC versions, well, at least nothing concrete has been stated on this.
It will be interesting to see the difference between the two once released. Personally, I am very curious as to which machine will have the better benchmarks.

You can always buy an XFPS if you don't want to wait so you can use a keyboard and mouse on a 360 or ps3.

No doubt that it's a good game, but I'm just sick and tired of the endless coverage about it. So, I'm just going to go back to playing The World Ends With You. I'll worry about GTA some other time. Chances are we'll see another one soon enough,
But, yes, I will be buying it for the XBox 360.

Previously I was expecting to have to wait as I had been told by the store that all of their pre-order units were gone, but was called up on Saturday to be told the were getting extra stock :D
Unfortunately, I think the sore throat/flu I appear to be getting may get much worse tomorrow, forcing me to stay home from work...
Thing is, though, I'm not exactly a big fan of GTA. I got Vice City because of the whole 80's vibe with homages to Miami Vice and Scarface. I didn't even look at San Andreas as the whole gangsta/Hip-Hop angle didn't appeal to me. But when Hot Coffee broke and they started pulling the game off the shelves, I went out and bought a copy as soon as I could for the collectible value alone. To this day I still haven't played it, but I'm glad I own an initial release copy. :)
GTA IV doesn't seem to be quite as big or as epic in scope as San Andreas was, though. Sure thre graphics look nice and some aspects of gameplay - like combat for example - have been improved, but unless there's a really compelling reason for me to go out and play it (other than to spite JT), I'll pass for now. I'm more interested right now in the PC version of Mass Effect and upcoming Xbox 360 releases like Ninja Gaiden II, Brutal Legend and the recently announced Mortal Kombat Vs. The DC Universe.
I bought mine in honor of Jack's impending disbarment.
but it will be mine(on the 360) eventualy!
btw. What sidebar? Did GP forget to create it or is it something lame like an ie7 specific activex control?
I still say MK vs DC would have saved the series... ten years ago. Right now it just seems... ugh.
The multiplayer modes alone will make this staple on XBox Live.
I am so glad that the 360 version is confirmed to have 2 downloadable content packs.
GTA 4 is the main game I have been wanting this year out of all those other great games coming out this year.
Yeah, I tend to agree. Why didn't they do this earlier when Capcom was doing games with Marvel? Oh well, better late than never.
GEARS OF WAR 2 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
GTA4 is not big enough of a deal for me to go nuts over and use the CAPS lock for awesome.
Getting in first thing tomorrow morning.
