Thank you Paul... I knew this would be the answer... I'm so disappointed
with this game. No wonder the group has been so dead. I only hope they
correct it with GTAV.

Exactly! I miss seeing those youtubes of the jumpjets doing acrobatics...
and the quads being hit by airplanes as they jump gorges.... How was a
no-brainer like this missed? I miss CJ....

wow, it's never been a problem for me. Strange how the game is so bad that
it's rated so highly...they must have paid off all the reviewers!

Don't like it....don't play it. You don't have to go off into crazy town &
claim it's a bad game since a few people like yourself don't like it.

It's not like that. It's the fact that reviewers rated it so highly,
but what they're really rating is the detail rather than the
substance. I don't hate it, but I haven't finished it either, and that
is bad.

You come off as being VERY dramatic in your original post with your "no
matter this group is dead". You may be surprised how many games are out
there who have never even heard of the Usenet these days.

I still fail to see how jet packs, etc, added any replay value to SA. They
were cute easter eggs but didn't add any extra gameplay, just different
ways to get around.

Don't be surprised if people feel as strongly as you do but in an opposite
way. You have the right to criticize but expect just as extreme defence of
the game from those who enjoyed it.

Hitting Roman in your address book with bring up a menu of interactions for
him (or any storyline character). Getting a cab is listed, but i think with
Roman it was a free cab ride (kick me if i'm wrong). But you also had to get
to a point in the storyline or do some taxi driving before you can use his
service.

I don't know what button it is on a PS3, but with the 360 hiting the left
shoulder button will make Niko hail a cab if there is one nearby. The city
is polluted with them, so you rarely have to wait for one. It's also the
same button you would use to pick up a cup or can off the ground. But just
like any cab, it costs $$ to ride.

With the possibility of DLC for the PS3 & the XB360, that may just well be
that we may get jets, parachutes, and jetpacks in the New LC.....

heh, don't think so. It sounds like some extra storyline, those
missions where people stop you at the side of the road

GTA:SA was fine in it's day but GTA IV comes off to me as a much more
living breathing city. I didn't have a good enough PC when GTA:SA first
came out so I played it on PS2. Just before GTA IV came out I bought a copy
of GTA:SA as I have a decent PC now. After playing IV I didn't want to keep
replaying GTA:SA as it just seemed so crude by comparison.

Perhaps I merely perceived you as one of those people who like to hate a
game simply because it is popular. There are a lot of people out there in
the gaming community who are like that.

Saints Row 2 is coming soon, perhaps it will offer you some satisfaction.

I hope DLC is at least a little more than that! But, wait and see is
what I'm planning to do about the DLC.
