    A little, yeah!

    As for my GTA history, I took the plunge and bought a PS2 in 2001 after a depressing break-up to take my mind off things. GTA3 was the first game I bought for it and I was hooked. I have owned every one since with the exception of GTA4 for some reason. But then Red Dead Redemption came along and I haven't touched a GTA game since. I have a feeling this one might knock Red Dead off the top spot as my favourite game of all time. We'll see.

    Same as 'cept I'm 22, won't be getting the game tonight, I have just started college and don't have the money or the time, have way too many games in my backlog as well. So it will either be midterm or Xmas break probably by the time I pick this up.

    For me it's always been a case on who was serving me, some asked for it and others don't!

    I remember there was one spot that always had the Dodge Viper-esque type car parked on it. B-line for that anytime i started the game. Dont think i ever finished the first GTA.

    17, first one was GTA IV back in 2009. Remember playing Vice City when I was about 7/8.




  • 27, will be 28 when GTA online goes live :)


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,594 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    31. Got addicted on the first one. Low end graphics and a high end black Porsche. Then rob the yellow bus and kill the harri chrisnas (so).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    27 here. Started playing when GTA2 was released and have played all so far. London was my favourite of the top-down games, and Vice City for the 3D games. I'm still using my GTA IV launch PS3, although it's been updated with a 500GB hybrid drive in prep for 5. :D

    39. I remember playing Mazogs on the ZX81 when I was 6 or 7, b&w block graphics, no sound and 1k of RAM.

    To me GTA III is still the game changer.

    Hoping to cram a few hours in before I pick up my wife and newborn son from the hospital tomorrow afternoon to bring them home.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭irish bloke


    Can't believe the amount of grown men playing and queuing for video games.

    Stop playing with it, sew up the holes in your pockets and go out and get jobs ffs.
