What the hell...you can go into bars? The only thing I remember being able to go into were fast food places, apartment buildings/mission buildings, and the strip clubs.

You can't go into a bar and buy a drink...as far as I know.

You can call your friends and invite them to go drinking.  Being drunk is so ridiculous man how can you have missed that?

As far as walking in and buying one for yourself I don't know if that's actually possible but then again I haven't tried.

That's like saying why do people live in New Jersey because they tax the shit out the people that live there if you can call it living since allot people moved out since life here has become so hard since most job start you with shit wages normally and part time. property is expansive just for a Small apartment will cost you roughly 600 (these are hard to find) normally the going rate can be up but not limited too $800 (this is a Small apartment mind you just rent) hell I only make about  $1000 a month and that’s not including utilities and most people that have kids in NJ happen to still live at home even after there age 30. Hell lets just say it why dose anyone live in the USA.

I don't know the ridiculous amount of hot chicks, easy living and beaches!.. BUT I don't live in Australia, I live in New Zealand so.. yeah. So you cant just go into a bar and buy a drink like a hot dog or something, man that sucks haha, I can still invite people out to get drunk, was just wondering if you could do that in the US version is all.

This is like 1000% off topic but

In Minneapolis a slum studio apartment goes for about $600, and for anything with a bedroom you will pay $800 or more.  A nice apartment is always well over $1000.  It's actually cheaper to buy a house then rent an apartment in the Twin Cities but since young people can't afford to buy into a mortgage well . . . (unless of course you get a no-money-down adjustable rate mortgage but let's not even get into *that*!)

Yeah seriously cost of rent/housing in the US is OUT-OF-CONTROL dude (at least where I live).

ahahahaha holy shit $600 for a shitty studio is nuts; they're like $375 max in cleveland!  i never knew minneapolis was so expensive.  i guess it's all relative because i'm sure places like nyc or santa barbara are more expensive still, but yeah.  i think the nicest/hippest/biggest places you can find here max out at maybe two grand, and that's even for 2-3 bedrooms.

huh, I didn't think that was so bad (800ish for an apartment).  I live in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) and I pay 840/month for a 2 bedroom apartment here (not a huge one by any means) (utilities included) and all the apartments are pretty much on par with that.  Basement apartments are considerably cheaper though.

EDIT: Okay to stay a bit on topic.  I just got this game 2 days ago and haven't played too much of it but it seems pretty good.  I like the driving mechanics of this one and Little Jacob makes me laugh.

I have a question though, when do you get to go to the internet cafe to stick yourself on the dating site?  Right now I've got Michelle as a GF but I don't really like her too much.

Personally, I don't think that is a bad price for what you are getting. Also, you are paying in Canadian denominations, so that would be a little bit cheaper if it were in the United States. By the way, you go to the dating site somewhat early on in the game, so keep doing missions and it shouldn't be too far away.

840 is kind of pricey for two bedrooms, but the dude's talking about studio apartments for 600, that's pretty nuts and I hope there is some student housing shit!

well dude $850 for a two bedroom is pretty reasonable but $600 for a shitty studio is a whole other thing entirely! a decent two bedroom would probably be at least twice as much as a studio which would mean $1200 which is 50% more than what you're paying!  kind of a big difference


also, you might have to wait for an internet mission, because i didn't bother going to the internet cafe until it came up in a mission (very early on, anyway).  that sounds sort of like an odd thing for them to do, though, so i think you can probably do it whenever you like.

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Your fucken kidding me aye.. maybe I can return it since I still have the receit and all. Oh and since Ive played it a bit more..

The combat system is actually a step back in some ways though, you kick, block, or punch and you can never change styles of fighting or get any stronger, plus the civilians can actually fight back now and kick your ass pretty good, I guess they wanted it more realistic instead of being this God like character where you can kill anyone with like 3 hits or something.

Driving can be annoying at first but you get used to it, the aiming and cover system are very handy, again take a bit of getting used to but once you have it under control you can just go around shooting people in the legs and shit and they start limping and what not.

The characters and voice acting, reactions, movements are absolutely amazing, some of or maybe THE best Ive seen in a video game, it's amazing how much detail Rockstar put into this game.

Yeah, I still feel like for as many steps as they've taken forward they've taken quite a few back though. I'm yet to finish the game because now it feels a little UNDERWHELMING, I guess? More of a chore, I think, because it took me ages to get through the

you can still do that though, fortunately. turns out that when you go into a bar, it just fades to black and then you walk out drunk. so... they've censored the bar scene, but you automatically get drunk when you visit one.

AUTOMATICALLY DRUNK WITH NO OPTION TO HAVE JUST ONE DRINK

AHAHAHAHAHA
actually thats the way in the version I play as well i dont think any of the games have actual bar scenes for random drinking :(
