LOL at Youtube's "301+ views".  Yeah, given that there are 40,000+ comments and 130,000+ ratings, I find that  believable.

Can't really get excited about California again.  There is something about Liberty City that just can't be beat when it comes to feeling connected to the environment.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Presumably that'd be different if you were more familiar with California?

:hmm:

Wonderful. And could throw in things like The Warriors, opening of WTC and blackouts.

Maybe, maybe not.  Urban sprawl seems to make for an inherently boring setup.

For a game with "auto" in it's title? :huh:

Syt's setting would definitely fit GTA more than today's NYC.  Are we really supposed to believe that nanny Bloomberg would allow illegal Slav immigrants to run around shooting people willy-nilly?  With a gun? :yeahright:

Speaking of cars and your hometowns: have you played Driver: San Francisco, garbon?

If they were going to set it in the 70s, they should do it right and set it in Chicago.

Autos are used everywhere, even in NYC. :contract:

No. In fact, I've never even heard of it!

The last game I felt like I was playing Dguller. It got real bad when Niko pullled out a slide rule and worked out Insurance premiums.  I didn't even get half way through that game.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Syt

Because Mexican Drug Wars were mentioned above - El Paso/Ciudad Juarez might make an interesting setting.
