for you I would think looking in the mirror every day would be more humiliating than that

its a game dude, it is just entertainment. no different than sitting around the house watching tv or a movie

I still am not really liking the driving controls, they seemed a ton more solid in San Andreas. Also, the aiming is a bit more shit in this, especially the auto-aim. Other than that, this game is win on all accounts.

"honey, I'm worried about you. You aren't spending any time outside lately. Where are your friends?"
"don't worry mom, i'm going out with them tonight. Might even pick up a lady or two"

.......

"Bobby, I thought you said you were going out with your friends tonight"
"Yeah, I'm taking a ride with them right now. Here's Big Smoke, and that's Ryder and that's my brother. Yeah, and I got my girlfriend status up to 70% right now!"

The intimate relationship junk hopefully isn't required later in the game. It's the reason I stopped playing San Andreas.
I'm buying a PS3 later tonight along with GTAIV, so here's hoping they're both in stock

well the car handling in SA was a stat that could be built up just like running, weight lifting, etc.

driving cars sucked ass at first in SA but got better the longer you had played. perhaps the handling will improve, even if the focus on *meta* stuff is no longer in IV|

I highly doubt it'll get better or improve much at all. I might get used to this relative shittiness eventually, but I still fishtail like crazy and turning is a bitch. I hate the fact that the handbrake function is so flipping fail as it make you skid out so easily :/

The auto-aiming is relatively lame as well. It'll pick the wrong person half the time even if the person you're trying to shoot is right in front of you. I'm playing on a ps3, so I dunno about the 360.

Even with that, the game is immense to play.

I'd agree for the most part, but will say that the higher end cars seem to handle amazingly well - there just seems to be a spectrum from total shit to pretty fun as far as driving goes.

The early cars in the game fucking suck.

It's as bad on the 360, however it's another thing I've slowly warmed up to. Even though I do think it picks the wrong target the bulk of the time, it has made headshots so much easier for me to pull off with the pistol.

Absolutely not a perfect game, just pretty damn good.

I've tried the Comet, Infernus, and some other cars, like the Super GT or whatever, and none of them are all that great to handle.

Yeah, but it's also aggravating when you auto-aim, but can't move the right joystick to manually aim, you just wind up fine-tuning and the minute you start moving the joystick around too much it goes right back to the original point. Bleh, I just want to shoot out windows and gas tanks.

Still, ducking for cover and launching grenades is soooo much more satisfying. Killing anything in this game is infinitely more satisfying, and gun fights are done astoundingly well provided you've got the ability to cover decently.
