Roffle my waffle, I just recently found that the main character is Ong Bak in disguise. You can learn different fighting styles from corny stereotypical gyms across San Andreas, and the kickboxing gym has this whole "fight dirty" atmosphere to it.

With the kickboxing style, when you fight a person, you kick them in the shin with your shoe so that they lean forward, then CJ does a somewhat accurate clinch and knees them in the face twice, pushes them backward and elbows them for the KO. The first time I saw it i was like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

I love this game like Paul Bunyan loves pancakes and pwning the omish townspeople.

You know what'd be really cool? If GTA were at all playable.

Well, at least he didn't post this in Bullshido forum-proper. Meowrsx, GTA:SA was a great game, but I verily doubt a great amount of interest could be invested in such a trivial matter. I'm sure there is a video game-related forum wherein you could share your appreciation with others who are undoubtebly of a similar mindset, rather than allow Cupid and others of his ilk to launch such scathing and witty taunts as the one alread exibited.

How do you see GTA: SA as "unplayable?" Except for, like, 2 times, I can't think of a time the game glitched on me in any sort of fashion.

Your all wrong! It is a kick to the groin, to make them bend over, then he clinches, knee's them in the balls and finishes with an elbow. Not exactly Muay Thai.

I think that the game is too involved and crazy. There is soooo much in it - you almost need the strategy guide. But it is funny as hell and cool to play, I just cant see myself commiting to the game. Besides I cant stay away from the Def Jam game - that is the best fighting game out there IMO.

Oh you did NOT just go there.

You so did not just go there.

I have failed to be excited for this game. After having been a huge fan of the first one.
I also agree with Cupid.

So, wait. IF you front kick a guy in the groin and he hunches way forward as people are apt to do in video games, wouldn't his nuts be a little far back to necessarily knee comfortably? Wouldn't a knee to the melon probably be better? See, I haven't played the game but I'm guessing it's a knee to the melon.

LIES!!! Stop shattering my dreams of MT in a game. Anyways, the game has its share of occasional glitches, but I've been more than happy w/ it. But textures popping up out of nowhere is annoying, damn old ps2 hardware. It's almost ROFFLE when you're driving fast through the grass, and then after fully breaking these shrubs come from nowhere.

It's not just that. The gameplay is fucking broken. The cars handle fine, but once you step outside everything goes to hell. The camera is atrocious and arbitrarily zooms in on CJ's face/ass in indoor locations, the lock-on chooses its targets seemingly at random (which is especially awesome when you wind up targeting a cop and spend the next 15 minutes trying to complete your mission while trying to shake a police officer you accidentally offended). Oh, and how cute is it when you're in the middle of a firefight and CJ points his gun in the air to fire a warning shot while your ass gets railed with machinegun fire? A: NOT VERY.

Then there's the hand to hand combat system. Now I haven't played far enough to get to the "Muay Thai" gym, but given the fighting system of GTA I imagine said combo goes something like this:

1) CJ punches.
2) CJ rotates in place 27 degrees and punches air. We still hear a sound effect confirming contact. Blood flies out of the air but the victim does not react.
3) CJ punches again, only this time he teleports on top of a chair. Victim begins jogging in place at CJ.
4) CJ kicks their groin. Victim falls over.
5) While the victim is still lying down, CJ clinches the air and knees it in the balls. Camera swings around wildly to celebrate.
6) Victim teleports to their feet, CJ elbows them in the face.
7) GTA fans applaud the amazing combat system.

I do agree with you about the rooted ranged targeting system, but the hand to hand combat stuff works pretty well, surprisingly.

But which fucking retard decided to have CJ be able to shoot in the air, I'll never know.

This sounds about right. GTA games have always been about the cars. If you step outside of one of them for even a second, the atrocious controls, combat system, or bugs will find a way to absolutely destroy you.

**** GTA: San Andreas and go buy Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. NOW!!

"Snake Eater"? I think I've played that game... I didn't like it. Not one bit.

What's wrong with Snake Eater?
