Andrew POE! Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So was his console banned, I'd imagine he could just sign up using a different credit card, and email right? It doesn't work that way unfortunately. Microsoft goes by the physical MAC address of the console. He'll have to get a new 360 and he may be able to access his old account. If not, he'll have to set up a new account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 If he sold the console, would whoever bought it be screwed over? That doesn't seem right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 If he sold the console, would whoever bought it be screwed over? That doesn't seem right I believe they would. That's why buying a second-hand 360 from just some dude ain't a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Surely gamestop (or whoever) doesn't test for MAC bans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Surely gamestop (or whoever) doesn't test for MAC bans?Yeah, but I would have to believe if you bought one from them, and it was banned, they'd exchange it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So, I haven't played a Grand Theft Auto game since the one for the PlayStation or PlayStation II (I forget) where you had to shuffle 15 prostitutes around town in 10 seconds, and I could never get even remotely close to doing that, so I gave up on the game. I've always found the cars impossible to drive in a decent manner. I nearly bought Saints Row 4 last night (have played it before due to a Redbox rental) but didn't. Something now tells me if I'm gonna be spending $60 on a game, it should probably be Grand Theft Auto V because this looks huge and badass. Still worried I'm too much of a "THIS IS TOO HARD!" weenie.

Mr Harms Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't think there's a mission in IV that was anything close to "too hard" even with free aim on. The final mission (on the story strand I chose) was the hardest by far but that was because I kept holding forward on the left stick while driving the boat and that meant I didn't get to the marker on time to get picked up by the chopper, over and over again.

Assassin Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 So after getting the snow spoiled for me, which was totally my own fault. I ended up looking at the a video of the tennis mini-game, and it looks phenomenal. Nothing too in-depth, obviously, but it looks like it could be fun to kill a few hours.

The mission you describe was in Grand Theft Auto III. I'd prefer all games to have the choice of difficulty settings. Out of Rockstar's open world games, I'd say Red Dead Redemption judged the difficulty level the best. Grand Theft Auto V is out next Tuesday, but you’ll be able to read (and watch!) our thoughts even sooner. On Monday, September 16 at 7:00 a.m. Pacific (10:00 a.m. Eastern), IGN will publish its review of Grand Theft Auto V, including everything we think about its massive open world and nearly limitless possibilities. When's that UK time please? I said if people want to avoid spoilers, they should avoid Wikpedia. I'd also avoid user comments after articles as well.

jstout Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 What's weird is I gave up on Red Dead Redemption very early because I kept getting killed at the same place in a mission, the second part, but instead of returning me back to that part to try again, it made me completely restart the mission by having to go to the sheriff's office, going through the dialogue, riding up to wherever the mission would start and getting through the first part of the mission only to get killed in the second part of the mission and have to go through all the crap of riding up to the sheriff's office, etc., all over again. It wasn't worth it. I loved "Bioshock: Infinite," but if I put it on Medium, I could not survive a single fight. So I put it on Easy, and finished the game in two days. There was no "sweet spot" in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 My Lord, going through the GTA forums isn't worth it just to read posts from brainless potheads. Typical post at GTA Forums...

Dirty J. Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 DVDVR has a surprisingly fun gaming forum. Some casuals, some hardcore gamers, just some decent discussion, news and "reviews".Shit, I visit this board and the movie board more often than the wrestling boards.

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Most other video game boards are people claiming to have the game 3 days early followed by about 300 post of "pic of GTFO". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I used to get games 3 days early when I worked at Family Video. Not to keep though, I had to bring them back the morning they were released so they could be rented out to customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I had a hook up at HMV, he used to sell us a giftcard, give us the game as soon as they got it, then use the giftcard to "sell" the game to us on launch day. Good times man, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I took the initiative and used a personal day on Tuesday. Shame that the next 2-3 weeks will be bonkers at work. Won't get nearly the play time I'm likely to want. Last time a game release led me to take a day off? San Andreas, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I was at school when San Andreas came out. It was a military school and we were in all in boarding houses. Anyway the week it came out there was the usual Daily Mail idiot speak, so the housemaster said if he found anyone with GTA he'd confiscate their ps2. I'd already ordered it, of course, and when it came in I reluctantly turned in GTA. Except it was Vice City Austin, it was Vice City all along! It might still be there actually.

Dirty J. Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Just saw some gameplay streams from people who already have the game. Nothing really spoiler worthy happened in the streams, just guys fucking around in the city, but the animations look amazing. Saw Franklin running around and punching and stomping random people and it looked fantastic. It had the same vibe when I first played GTA IV, it looks like you are on holiday in a different city. Also, not story related, but will spoiler it anyway: Cars actually explode on impact if you take a long fall with it. It's not like in GTA IV or San Andreas where you walk out unscathed.

Gonzalez Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Looks like it was caused by hitting the gas tank on the way down. At least that's the reason I think it blew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'm going to warn the people who haven't seen the spoilers yet. DON'T... Go looking for GTA 5 info on the web anymore. Not even if it's a reputable video game website. I've already read a major spoiler online, and I wasn't even looking for story spoilers. Don't make the mistake I did. Just wait till tuesday.

Andrew POE! Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 To get myself amped up for next Tuesday, I'm going to try to play and beat every GTA game (minus GTA 1 & 2) until then. I'm on GTA: Vice City right now. It's not going to happen, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Just go watch a bunch of LA based action movies(Heat, Lethal Weapon, They Live, etc). If you start going through these GTA games you'll just end up wanting to finish them even though you just bought V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
