But I don't have a dvd burner :(

Means I have to get it, split it up into CD's move it across recompile it and then use alcohol 120%

:ninja:

But yeah, it looks ok, not as bad as VC which I thought looked horrible.

I have a dvd drive, not a dvd burner.

When I get it I have no way of putting it onto my other machine.

I.e. I get it, can't put it onto DVD. It'd be ok if I bought it, which I obviously will do.

Confused me until I thought about it, piracy? :ninja:

Anyway, the game looks better, especially with the anti-aliasing going on. I'll probably get it!

*CLAPS*

My god you lot are slow.

If you get something as a DVD and can't burn it, and there is no network to transfer it to the gaming rig before emulating it on a virtual drive you cannot play it. Hence without a DVD burner, I wouldn't be able to play it unless I split it up into little CD disks.

I knew Neowin was full of goodies goodies who buy their windoze and everything but still......

No he's saying he's a warez monkey and he would need a dvd burner to play it because the downloaded ISOs would be too big for a normal cd (which would work on most games as they use multiple cds instead of dvds.)

Guess he doesn't know how to use Daemon Tools then :p

ditto

man my 9700 non pro, 512mb and 2.4 p4 are starting to show its age in modern games.

hopefully it can play this one good though (vice city was looking awesome on my setup)

NICE, i like :)

yeah i have a similar setup and mine is starting to show its age also, still good for a while though, i think in about 6mo to a year ill do a complete upgrade rather then swap out parts....although i got a gig of ram which helps out a TON and i have the 2.66 pushed up to 3ghz

God you lot are dense.

Computer 1 - internet, no dvd burner, no network, can't play games

Computer 2 - the one I want the game on, no internet, no network, only dvd reader.

So I get the game have to split it into cd parts burn it then move it all across as cd's.

I'm never posting a reply in a thread like this again, people just get confused.

-bYtE,Apr 20 2005, 17:53]I really likted the previous GTA versions but San Andres doesn't interrest me one bit.. I hate the "gangsta" theme of the game, mabye it's because I hate rap music.. I don't know. The game look OK but I don't think I would be getting it though.

585801155[/snapback]

Have you actually ever played the game? The whole gangsta theme dies off after you get out of the 1st city and it becomes something else. Sure the character still speaks ghetto but it's hardly like gangbanging is the only theme.

lol.. everyone is saying how amazing it looks..... if u ask me it should just be an expansion for vice city.  or maybe even a mod.

If you ever played the game and saw first hand how insanely big the game space and missions are, you'd know how stupid you sound.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
