Ditto. I fully expect to suffer from early-onset arthritis. Years of videogames, messing around with double-jointedness, PC keyboards and handlebar vibes from motorbikes = not too good for your hands :-/

Why ooh why didn't I wait for the PC release in the first place....
++++ Graphics are way better! +++ Gameplay is much easier, aiming while driving etc.. +++ Listen to any music I want while playing. +++ Loading the game in 25sec! (instead of +\-2 minutes) ++ Replay (not really necessary, but PS2 doesn't have it) ++ Audioquality is much better. + Maybe a multiplayer option soon.

that's what you get for playing bloody video games on a nice day. nature's way of telling you to get the fuck outside and cop on ;P
i did that fucking mission "OG Loc" 8 times last night. I'd done it 3 times already. Finished it the second time but i walked into the mission it leads to instead of saving my game, and lost that one... The other 10 times shit kept going wrong halfway through. in total i finished it 5 times but only got back to my crib to save the game on the 10th time.
damn vagos bastards.. there were some unfortunate endings i can tell ya.
great game.

I really like gta 3 a lot... and bought san andreas and don't like it nearly as much now. Too many things are pissing me off:
-the main car camera feels awkward. If you go reverse it'll get in front of you then take awhile to get behind you again. It's hard to see when you go around corners. It feels like every car is an obstacle in your way. It felt find in gta 3
-dance dance revolution type shit and having to eat and life weights, ie. a pointless mindlessly unchallenging side task you have to do every once in a while.
-well I like the music better I guess
-is it just me or does the on-foot camera feel left-right reversed? Whenever I try to move it left it goes right? It didn't feel like that in gta 3. maybe I'm just on crack.
-just causing damage doesn't seem as fun this time. I also hate when games utilize all 4 shoulder buttons, the suckiest buttons ever invented. Of course gta 3 did that too I think, but for some reason I was pressing all the wrong buttons and facing the wrong ways when trying to simply shoot some guys, so I just ran them over with my car. gta 3 overall felt much better.

should've got it for pc. soo much better...
you can even control the camera with the mouse while driving, look around corners before you jam on the handbrake. it's so sweet. takes a while of getting used to, but really really sweet.

you can invert up/down but not left/right. I should play gta 3 again to see if it is indeed opposite from that game. I'll still continue to play it because I don't have a single god damn other thing to do, but I just want to piss and moan about it even though I couldn't code the 2 dimensional wall grafiti.

As redrum says, you can change the postition of the camera to almost every position when driving/walking/whatever with the PC version.
I still hate that the camera can't be hold to it's position when it's high in the air (cinematic view?). In some circumstances it would have been awesome to hold the camera steady in the highest position above the car.

erm.
i just went to my laptop, clicked San Andreas, and suddenly the fucker is coming up with 2 strips on the screen - one on each side.
It's set up to be played 1024x768x32 - but it's not switching to 1024x768 fullscreen. What the fuck is going on?! I didn't fiddle with the settings, this just suddenly happened.
I seem to remember reading something similar here a while ago, i might be mistaken though. Any ideas?

Opposite for me. I beat the other two but I was still super excited zooming around the countryside and the highways. I like killing country bumpkins more than city slickers, I got to live my dream.
Next GTA is going to have so much horsepower behind it, can't wait.

yea tried a million times i'm afraid :/ all that happens is that it *looks* as it should on 1280x1024 or whatever it is, fills the screen, but the motion is well.. unresponsive. tad jerky. y'know the way.
then i change back and it's back to the same, strips down the sides. bogey.

Are your problems solved Aengus?
Funny addition Duble0Syx, did you play around with a picture or did you really manage to play with the Aphex chain?
btw, I noticed that sometimes cars chase me after I hit them...this never happened to me with the PS2 version, anyone else noticed that?

yup, got it fixed! set it to highest res, with low detail (can't seem to see the difference, apart from the fact that the mirror in the clothes store is really, really bad) and it's grand.
I've found that taxi drivers (and, naturally, rival gang members) are the worst for chasing you if you bump into them in your car.

I'm going to trade in my PS2 version and get it on Xbox. I wish there was a way to transfer my save over or something. I killed a lot of people and I don't want them all to have died for nothing.

i use this site cos it gives an overview of all the major sites. i feel dirty and cheap when downloading torrents, but i have given rockstar my fair share of cash, and besides, the game was dated the day it came out.
