no offense, but the fact, that's it's based off San Andreas it's not gonna be that big of a deal, to most of it's fanbase.

SA was huge, because those that grew up in the mid 90's loved the style of it...sadly enough, they were also not old enough to play it, but still did anyway...and parents blamed Rockstar for making the game, their kids played in the first place.

Alot of us were pretty stoked about GTA V, until word got out, that it was tied to San Andreas, and it's not something I'll be looking forward to...I wouldn't be surprised if out of 150 copies, we sell 20 within the first 6 months of it's launch.

Look at Max Payne 3...media reports it was the top selling game of 2012...we sold maybe around 20-30 copies...out of 200...and that was within 6 months of it's launch. The problem being, is that Rockstar is aiming for the younger generation of gamers, instead of the more mature generation, that GTA, Max Payne, Farcry and other M rated games are supposed to be geared for...but as they say, "money talks"

and the fact that some parents let their kids play these games, only to turn around and blame the gaming industry, when their kids end up copying what they see in said video games, instead of raising them, and teaching them right from wrong is just sad. I've played GTA over the years...and I know the difference between right and wrong.

I haven't played anything beyond SA however, as I've stated I didn't care much for it...over over excessive use of "F'bombs" being one reason...albeit the main, and I guess the other being, that it's turning into a simulator style game...again I apologize if this offends anyone, in any way, shape or form...just my two cents on the matter at hand.

yeah, we're the same way, here in Atlantic Canada. funny, how the weather report said Spring was starting at 8am sharp last Wed. that means, the snow would be gone, in an instant, birds would be singing, the sun would be shining and the grass and flowers would be in full view.

8am rolled around...we've got snow. no grass or flowers. sun was hidden behind clouds, and no birds were singing...guess Spring took a leave of absence until further notice.

that's just sad really.
