  1. Because if he is insane which judging by what you said previously is a matter of trivial relevance in the American justice system, then he should be dealt with accordingly. You can't just sentence a man to death because on the surface he seems to be no more than a remorseless murder, if there are underlying psychological issues then does the man not deserve to be treated for these issues?

  2. Yeah, that's sort of what I meant there is a period between like march and may in this country where people don't bitch and moan but the rest of the year is fair game for complaining about the weather

  3.  

     

    I think spending months planning an elaborate mass killing is definitely one of the signs of insanity. As would be going through with said plans. Regardless of what the reasons or motives behind this were, I find it to be shitty publicity surrounding the movie that this happened, on opening night at that. It's upsetting to think that there wasn't one person in that crowd ready to act in defense of the people. And I especially can't figure out WHY THE HELL A 3 MONTH OLD BABY WAS AT A MIDNIGHT MOVIE RELEASE. WHERE THE HELL DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?

    That's all I have to say on the matter.

    Sorry, i know this topic is old, but I saw this and HAD to say that, coming from a police officer and someone who studies law, spending months planning a mass shooting is a sign that he is NOT insane. Insanity means he does not understand the law, the nature of his actions, or right from wrong. Seeing as he spent months planning this attack to make sure it went exactly how he wanted, he obviously had a brain in his head which would negate any possibility of insanity. just a bad person that should be eligible for the death penalty

    Police officers seemingly have NO grasp on psychology.  Sociopaths are not only incredibly intelligent, they are also incredibly organized, secretive, and elaborate. I happen to be studying psychopaths right now, and I do believe that is more on-par with judging someone's mental status than studying law. 

    well good for you. but i'm saying legally this guy cannot be declared insane. if he's smart enough and all there enough to plan and practice for months, then he's smart enough to know right from wrong and thats the key to declaring him insane, whether or not he knew right from wrong

    Nice to see that the American legal system is just and fair then...

  4. Yeah, after you had to explain yourself three times. Try being clear and precise from the start and then you won't have to get all fussy that people don't understand what you're trying to whine about.

     

    People understand. They just like twisting everything they don't agree with so that they can say "ur arguments r invalid" afterwards.

    No, you just did not say what you meant, believe it or not the highlight of my day is not arguing semantics with you.

  5. Alright smart arse, allow me to narrow it down for you:

     

    'I have no idea, I don't buy Rockstar games anymore'

     

    If you don't buy them then how are you going to know what the social club community is like? You are not because funnily enough ROCKSTAR social club is only available on games made by ROCKSTAR. Ergo, if you do not buy games made by ROCKSTAR then you wont be using ROCKSTAR social club will you?

     

    Better luck next time :)

     

    I have no idea whether the serials from one GWFL 2.0 game work when registering another, moron. Learn to read.

     

    I'm well aquaimted with the Social Club, like I said I have Max Payne 3 and have been playing it for quite a while (the multiplayer that is). I don't see any difference between it and GFWL, besides the aforementioned one which I'm not sure of yet, since I WON'T buy Rockstar games anymore so I WON'T be able to try and register an older game with a newer serial from another game.

     

    Clear enough for you? Idiot.

    Well next time say what you mean, saying I don't buy Rockstar games anymore suggests that you wouldn't have any of Rockstars recent release for example, i don't know... Max Payne 3 shall we say?

    I miss the cold. So much. It has not really gotten below the 60s here this year. Yesterday it was in the high 70s. There are very few redeeming factors about Southern USA. That is that people are nice and helpful. For the most part they are still dense rednecks. I want to go back north. With snow and fall and everything.

    >The lowest it's been in Albuquerque is about 20 degrees. Snow a couple of inches, got to see some people freak out and wreck. Also doubled my 15 minute commute :/ Eh. I like the cold better than the scorching

    heat.

    Really guys!? I hate the cold so much, temperatures in England are around freezing point at the moment and I fucking hate it, I would much rather be somewhere warm right now. The only time I ever want to be somewhere cold is the few days around Christmas, otherwise it just wouldn't feel like Christmas but other than that give me a tropical island any day of the week!

    I am not Christian, but there is still something awful about shopping in a sundress with Christmas music playing.  They start playing it as early as possible too, so you are painfully reminded that you are not going to see a white Christmas.  Snow is so pretty, I miss seeing it, I miss ice skating outside, I even miss salting my walkway.

     

    Yeah, the thing is in this country though everyone gets really excited when the weather reports say it's gunna snow but then when it finally does snow they just bitch and moan :/

  8. What? Social club is nothing like games for Windows Live. Firstly it works, secondly it's not annoying as hell, thirdly it feels more like a community than Windows Live.

     

    Turn it the other way around and you're correct.

     

     

    I must say I do like the revamped social club and whilst R* are not the first people to invent the whole clan thing I do like the way they have tied it to the social club. I never really rated R* social club but since the revamp I must say I am a fan

     

    Don't know, feels like Games For Windows Live 2.0 except the serial keys aren't universal... or are they? I honestly have no idea, I don't buy Rockstar games anymore.

  9. Delayed? The release date was announced before? O.o

     

    Anyways, this is unacceptable. Rockstar should skip beta testing and release the game on time. How can they delay the precious thing? How can they not release the game on time despite the fact that it's probably not finished or has a lot of bugs? Horrible, just horrible... Rockstar will pay for this, with BLAD >.<

     

     

    Bulls*it. Video games are to blame for everything, from global warming to cancer.

     

    Ain't that right Jack? I'm sorry Jack isn't here right now, Rockstar's unforgivably cruel actions costed him his job cause he tried to tell people the truth.

     

    R.I.P. Jack

    1951 - Not soon enough

     

    Anyway Gaz posted this first. Hell Chris is probably the last one to find out.

     

    I don't even....

    GTA is still not realistic enough... it should charge the player for house rent and various taxes.It should make us feel sucking hard to live in the GTA game! So we will reasonally feel comfortable to repay the tenderness from the gov and others. We are too benigh people, we are suppose to be forced to rob the innocent folks. We need stimuli!

    You do realise in the real world there are criminals who commit crimes for no reason other than they feel like it right? Criminals don't necessarily need stimuli

     

    >> 

    Has anybody suggested anything to Rockstar about them?

     

    Has Rockstar ever listened?

     

    Anyway crews are fine but I can't quite figure out the difference between them and clans...

    As far as I am aware they synonymous 

     

    Yes, but I am really getting bored (which I also think many of the players in front of the screen have got) of killing people and my drunk driving...the physics engine in GTA IV ver was absolutely stunning, my heart ached when pedestrains crashed under my wheels.... I hope to see sth different  in the coming version of GTA. Can I just lock my car???

     

    You must be the first person to find paying rent and taxes and locking your car interesting, this all boring mundane stuff that we do in our everyday lives, why would we want to be doing that when we are playing a video game, which for the majority of people, is a break from our everyday lives

    I am not sure including something as mundane as paying rent and taxes in a video game will be a particularly good selling point...

     

    On topic: great video, I really enjoyed seeing just how far Rockstar have come with the series since San Andreas

  13. So I have heard that Microsoft are discontinuing windows live and all of its associated applications. I was wondering if any of you have:

    A. heard about this

    and

    B. Have any idea about what's going to happen to games that run on games for windows live?

    Personally I am quite glad that Windows live is being discontinued as I have only ever had trouble with it.

  14. I'll never understand the point of remakes... if the game was that good and you liked it so much why want a remake unless you're full of shit and there's actually something wrong with the game....

    For one thing I liked the gang banger theme of SA and since Los Santos is based off of LA which is the unofficial gang capital of the U.S. then it's a fitting setting. The GTA games' main themes are crime and violence so why not have a player or NPC that does that pretty much all the time. Besides it wouldn't be a remake, more of a sequel. Ever heard of those?

    Direct sequels? I don't think it can get more boring than that. You're like a five year old that keeps asking his father "what happened next???" so that the bedtime story never ends. Learn to let go. San Andreas might have been the best GTA but it wasn't the only good one, if they keep making GTA San Andreas sequels there will never be a better one.

    By the way you might want to check what "gang bangin" means :P

    I don't understand why wanting to know 'what happened next' is bad thing....

    Also gang bangin' is a perfectly legitimate word to use in the context of hanging out with ones 'homies' and partaking in gang related activities. It also happens to be a term used for sexual activities undertaken in a group, however given the the forum we are on and the topic of the thread I think it would be fairly safe to say that in this context 'gang bangin'' refers to the former if your mind instantly thinks of the latter then that sort of says something about you now doesn't it?

    Anywho, I would quite like to see the occasional homage to San Andreas but I wouldn't want it as a major theme of the game, I mean San Andreas is for me the best GTA game to date so I wouldn't want anything in V to ruin that experience for me. It would be weird to not have some throwback to San Andreas but I don't want it rammed down our throats.

  15. Facts are as I presented them in the postings where I could not edit, but rather append. The basic argument is what you as a consumer are faced with, eating, lets say, in comparison, PC gaming is like cooking at home or eating gourmet, however, Fast food and just ordering someone to cook for you, getting your food and eating that way results in the same end, you get sustainance, console gaming is the FAST FOOD route to getting full, whereas making the food yourself, or paying more for something special is the PC route to the same end, however, as I made note many times, PCs are not exclusive to gaming, they just afford it via the technical attributes of the components they contain, but they are not built namely for gaming, most people use them like Swiss Army Knives

    If you are talking about PC games being more expensive, you are wrong, console games are a lot more expensive than PC games. If you meant it is more expensive due to PC components being expensive then yeah that's true but at the end of the day you pay more for higher end performance. I mean I built my PC about 3 years ago now and it will still out perform any console on the market. I guess at the end of the day it's swings and round-a-bouts, console gamers pay less for their machines but get charged more for their games, PC gamers pay more for their machines but less for games. Console gaming is more convenient for some people but (on the whole) you get better performance out of PC games. It's all down what you want/can afford.

    Also consoles are no longer exclusive to gaming, they are gaining more and more PC-like functionality for example you can have apps like youtube on your console, they have built in web browsers and I know that on the PlayStation3 you can browse your network for media servers and play videos and music from anyone connected to your network (provided the permissions are set right)

  16. Of course the Houser's were gunna be involved, do you not think that they are involved with most if not all projects undertaken by Rockstar? I did look it up actually and yes Max Payne 3 had contributions from pretty much if not all of the Rockstar studios but was deved mainly by Rockstar Vancouver. In my opinion I would not say that this suggests that any projects the other studios had on the go at the time got neglected as I think Rockstar are one of the better game studios out there, I have yet to play a game deved by Rockstar that I did not think was top notch. Having said that I haven't played every single game made by Rockstar by a long chalk.

    Also I am not getting revolted or personal at all, as far as I am concerned we are just having a debate, you are the one getting personal with your whole 'oh you guys are just fanboys' routine.

  17. Facts cannot be argued with, and as you argue, all I see is resemblences of denial and resentment toward gaming companies. I'm just saying why it is the way it is, now and in any recent past you can remember. The consoles have stood an amazing test of time, given the contraint of aging hardware, and you have to take off your hat for the unending committment to make the best game possible, if it were solely greed and money as the aspirations of Rockstar or others, do you think 5 years or so spent making the game would make ANY sense?!?

    You must lack a serious amount of brain cells buddy, read carefully: JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY THEY ARE FACTS DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE. Got that? Good.

    Rockstar didn't spend five years developing GTA V. Nobody knows how much they spent but if my guess is correct, and if we take into consideration the fact that Max Payne 3 was also in development in this time, and the fact that GTA IV (which is also the base for GTA V) took three years to develop, I'd say they spent about two years on GTA V at best.

    I never implied Rockstar were the only ones, quite the opposite in fact. Thanks in large part to Microsoft's anti-PC-gaming scheeme, most developers these days favor consoles. Rockstar is just one of the best examples...

    Because they made one game that didn't get a PC release?

    No, and iif you'd have read what I said before you'd know that's not what I said. But I guess that's too much to ask of ignorant fanboys.

    @Bold: You do realise that Rockstar have several dev teams who work on different games right? Max Payne 3 was deved by Rockstar Vancouver, Grand Theft Auto V was deved by Rockstar North so your point doesn't really stand up...

    @Underlined: I am not a fan boy at all I just happen to have opposing opinions to you, I am not sure why you are getting to uptight about it...
