  1. Lol @ lazy; read all the stuff that's supposed to be in the game (4x-6x VC's mapsize to name just one) and really tell me they've been just twiddling around putting it together. FYI they are bound by a contract with Sony to use the same engine for the third - and last - time so it'll surely perform well on the oldass PS2. Good thing you had all the facts before you spoke though...
  2. You don't make sense. How the hell did you come to the conclusion you'd need multiple game installs to run multiple servers on the same machine? And waste of HDD space? Rofl. I bet the server dir with all the assorted tools (which BTW shouldn't need to be copied anyway) wouldn't even exceed the 5MB point. Jeez ppl, next time you decide to jump in to a discussion make sure you know what the hell you're gonna talk about, will ya?
  3. Any new interior would probably be more cool than the Malibu and lol @ "aggresion and hate for the ppl that love the casino"! WTF dude? Ppl have been saying "omg we're gonna own a casino" and I just don't see what's so special about that to get so excited over, months before the game comes out and especially when they've heard all of its other features as well. Or is it because you'll be able to gamble? Dunno, I guess the mere thought of a casino in a game is enough to suggest a very good game for some ppl; I'm just not one of them. BTW makin' money in the other 2 GTA installments was never the biggest of problems anyway.
  4. Heh. To tell you the truth, first I couldn't get the vid cause it was released during the Easter holidays where I wasn't home to use my DSL; I had to try with a 56k modem, but TGA wouldn't oblige So I got it somewhat later thanks to Robpol's mirroring and by the time that happened and I was home again, too much work hit me and I was very busy to sit down and write something serious about it, other than "excellent", "deserves its 1st place @ TGA d/l's", etc, etc and I didn't want to post just for that. Besides I think you got plenty of congrats on all sites where it was presented. After another 10 days or so, I found the time to sit down and type out my comments, but by the time all was done with, I just thought it'd be too lame to post/bump (like 20 days later); it'd just look like I was living in my own little time period and a bit weird for the vid too . Anyways, I dunno why, but I've kept the reply somewhere around here and if you guys really care to see it, I guess I could give it some final touches and post it. So there's a one page post saying why another one page post wasn't made. Don't you just love irony? Edit: Forgot this: I intend to prove that wrong during the summer .
  5. Yes, if you want to get serious, ^^ that's one of the two observations I wanted to make. Seems many staff members here have turned a bit too trigger happy with the lock button lately (or is it drop-down menu and Ok button? Always confuse those in the various forums ). To a point, it's totally understandable, but sometimes certain ppl go way overboard. As I've tried to say in the past, locking and telling ppl to just search for their question doesn't really help; members that have been here longer and remember the particularities of older useful threads (making it way easier for them to find those fast), should offer links even half as abundantly as they offer the "use " advice. I mean, if some1 asks you for directions and you know the answer, you don't just tell them "go buy yourself a map n00b!". Point 2: I absolutely hate people that just refuse to accept the added responsibility that comes with the extra power and authority they've been given. In short, if you're gonna modify some1's post (edit or delete), plz have the balls to acknowledge you did so (state it and maybe also the reason for it by leaving a brief note or something) and not conveniently hide behind anonymity. Don't think there's anything else to say about that. How about that msg board commentary now?
  6. What's so fu,cking amazing about a casino anyways? "OMG I get to own a casino, wow!!1". Please... Let's just hope it's a good game.
  7. It's not "what we call it" and lag is a word of the english language; look it up.
  8. (Re)connecting to any server with MTA should by default restart the game session. It would help a lot in many aspects (gun/car smuggling, stability, etc).
  9. Nah, "Vercetti Must Die" is far from the best vid ever. It's a fine sample of tailored editing and careful dubbing and it was created relatively early in the scene's history as well, but that's the whole extent of its originality. There are stunt vids that are overall way better than that, mainly because of content quality and replay value.
  10. Ppl were saying that a month ago with UT2k4, they're saying it now with Far Cry, they'll be saying it just as well later on and so on... High performance, resources demanding games will keep on coming one after another, which alone should suggest the "now would be a good time to upgrade" mentality is stupid if not patronizing, but definitely a market driven one. Ppl should consider upgrades depending on their current (and immediate future) needs and what they can afford when the time comes. Back on topic, here's a wild Prokopis prediction for the PC version of SA: expect >=3 CDs. You heard it here first!!!1 Oh and I bet the maps will still be buggy as hell (which I love about the GTA series ).
  11. What if I went on a tangent and posted my Complaints/Questions about the msg board itself?
  12. Break out your flippers and water wings. We're going swimming !
  13. Lol that look is more like "Da-hm!!" than anything else. And about not being able to get in again, I don't think that's something a lil pushing wouldn't fix . My parking's better though
  14. I think shooting was done yesterday and I may have been on the partyserv @ the time myself ...
  15. When it comes to mindless violence for incomprehensible reasons, my #1 choise for a movie is definitely "Mean Guns" (1997) with Christopher Lambert. It's so dumb, it's mind-numbing!
  16. He meant the order in which players join a serv, or in which they are shown in the MTA scoreboard xenex. I don't really think there's such an issue though KAD.
  17. Aren't you lamers tired of bumping up this thread with "I can't wait for 0.4" spam shit for two pages now? Jeez, someone do us all a favour and ban these idiots 'till 0.4 comes out or something...

    Pure Pwnage

    http://www.purepwnage.com It's all about teh pwnin...
  19. Yes, it should all be done with mirrors!!!1 Hilarious... Anyway dude, it's obvious you lack even the most basic legal and technical knowledge around software issues and intellectual property, any sort of grasp on statistical world figures, cohesive expression and punctuation capacity, not to mention clarity of mind, temper and common sense (which BTW isn't all that common after all). As far as most of the things about MTA you said go, you were just guessing at best. You know, I think Dragon's assumption is probably true. This guy musta tried to map mod in some MTA serv or something, got his dorky ass banned from everywhere and came here to throw his little tantrum and tell everyone they suck. Been there, seen it done (better) before... Next.

    Bots?

    Huh?!? All clients do their own (inbound) hit detection, i.e. you only get hurt if your machine says so. If you meant where to place the bots, I'd say it's irrelevant; if there's lag on a client-side based game, the bots will be affected to the point of uselessness regardless of placement.

    AD-WERE

    No comp = no pr0n and that's unacceptable.
  22. And you mister have a stunt video to get back to . Or at least I think so ...
  23. Prokopis

    Bots?

    Any lag would seriously throw off server residing bots on a client-side based online game (ooh, didn't that sound awfully l33t ?).
  24. Prokopis

    Bots?

    Wow, never thought about the combo of bots and lag. That would indeed not work.
