I'm not sure that's a hot take. I bought both it, San Andreas and GTA 3 from the Playstation Store thinking that they'd be fun for nostalgia but they just feel so clunky that I don't get the enjoyment that I used to.

Maybe not, but I still see/hear people talk about it like it's the best in the series. Opinions and all that, but it's just nostalgia. 

I got them all from PS Store too, wanting to complete them all without cheats, but it's just not worth it. San Andreas has enough improvements to the mechanics and shit for me to be able to play it still. With Vice City the gameplay just isn't good enough to work through the tedium.

I'm still OK with the gameplay in Vice City, especially on PC. What kills it for me, though, is the lack of checkpoints, a problem that harms all GTA games of that era. Failing a mission because your AI companion runs into oncoming traffic, and then having to drive across the city just to restart the whole mission, was infuriating then and is infuriating now.

Can you turn the camera while moving on PC? You can't on PS and that's probably the biggest killer for me.

Vice City has aged horribly and is almost unplayable now.

I don't want him. Like, at all. Paying a 120 million minimum plus however ever much a week - 500k probably, at least - for a 32 year old who we'll have to set up the entire team around is just not something that appeals to me in the slightest - Ronaldo or not.

Money is irrelevant when you're the richest club in the world. Age is irrelevant when you're the best player in the world and still better than anyone 10 years younger than you. 32 isn't exactly old, plus he's a physical freak and could still be playing at this level in three years, so I'd rather he spend those years at my club than at potential rivals.

Setting the team up around him might not be a good idea long-term, but in three years time we could still be in the exact same position without him and have zero honours, or we could re-sign Ronaldo and win some trophies, then go back to being shit until the next saviour comes along. He could be good for the team anyway. Rashford and co. would probably gain more from playing with an all-time great and winning things than continuing on the path we're on post-Fergie.

Can't see Morata or anyone else having the kind of impact Ronaldo would. Nor can I see any potential big signing sticking around for more than a few years anyway, and only earning a little bit less than Ronaldo, so if he's available then there is really no better option that I can think of. As long as he bangs in a load of goals, which he will, and we win things, which we've a better chance of doing with him than without him, then it's all good imo.

If he leaves for anyone other than Man Utd I'll be devestated.

Six winners from four countries in ten years isn't bad, but four English teams qualifying straight for the group stage next year while the champions of Romania, Greece, Croatia etc. (hardly fucking San Marino) have to go through one or two qualifying rounds is what's wrong with the Champions League.

To my knowlage they are the only two.

I;m open to adding more if there are any, I was thinkng of adding the couple of promotions that some members run, might have to rejig the popularity levels for them though.

Alright thanks. Just planning on using them as enhancement talent, or maybe they could be the next Rock and Austin? Who knows, anything is possible in the Unrealistic Diary Era.

Would be cool if CIWW was in. Added Skummy myself to ref on my WWE: UK and NXT shows.

6. Red Dead Redemption

 

RDR was released May 2010.

I can't really compare a few of these to be able to list them in order properly, but my all time top five would probably be The Simpsons, The Wire, Breaking Bad and The Sopranos for sure, then either The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or Only Fools and Horses for fifth.

For current shows I have no idea, as I prefer to watch series' when they’re done because waiting weeks or months between episodes is the worst. I keep up with The Walking Dead, am halfway through season 2 of Fear The Walking Dead and plan to watch Better Call Saul next, so I guess those three. Oh and TIL Prison Break is back so that makes the list too by default when I get round to it.

Finished work now so can get help get the last few shards. Doesn't seem like there'll be much point going for the second card.

My first Ultimate fusion was Lana.

My second Ultimate fusion was Lana

Halfway through Miz in RD, so if I can get that Braun card tomorrow then it'll be my first 2 Ultimate pros in 2 days.

Miz and Strowman are pros for me. Didn't plan on playing this event, but can't turn down an Ultimate pro. I'm so close to Ultimate tier in RD too which is a pain since I cba getting the hardened card first :/

How do I switch card backs? I played enough Royal Rumbles to earn those stupid HHH card backs and I am damn sure going to use them!

Go to your catalog then tap "active" and the rest is simple.

Done. Hopefully that helps. Just won the first 2 +2's I played so seems like it. Forgot it was RTG though and put my weakest female on by accident

I think San Andreas is the best GTA game, and possibly the best ever. GTA V obviously surpasses it in a number of ways like mechanics, graphics and overall world detail that couldn’t realistically have been on a PS2 game, but San Andreas was just so fucking good.

The mission variety is incredible, whether you’re shooting up the hood, heisting a casino, burying someone alive in a portable toilet, jumping out of planes on to other planes, sneaking around a rappers mansion to steal his rhymes or trying to shoot down RC planes with a minigun (fuck that mission btw), they were all just so fun to play, and so much more memorable to me than any other games missions.

The characters were amazing, larger than life and brilliantly portrayed, whether serious like Officer Tenpenny and Mike Torino or ridiculous like OG Loc and The Truth. The interactions and relationships between the characters were great. The dynamic between CJ/Sweet/Smoke/Ryder and the big plot twist. They gave you a reason to give a shit about the random characters, like Madd Dogg, Woozie, Zero etc. Even Officer Pulaski. I remember 11-year old me feeling so good about myself when I rid the world of that bastard (though that may just be because it took me a while to complete the mission). Then there’s the cameos from Salvatore Leone, Claude, Ken Rosenberg and Kent Paul.

I could go on about the map seeming massive even though it’s smaller than GTA V, the variety of the cities and landscapes, the vehicles, activities like street racing, driving/flying school, dancing, basketball, etc., the character customization, the fun cheat codes, the amazing soundtrack and so on, but we’ve all played it and you all know the deal.

I think the thing that really seals it for me is that it's fucking hilarious. San Andreas is the best

As for anyone who disagrees:

Ring Dom is good. It's the only way I can get Ultimate cards for now.

San Andreas four times. Twice on PS2, once on 360 and I just bought a PS4 yesterday so I could play it again since it’s not on Xbox One.

I’ve bought Vice City, GTA 3, Bully, FIFA 99, Mafia and Here Comes The Pain three times too.

I'm struggling to remember which mission this was because it's been a few years since I played SA.

I'd also second World of Warcraft. If there are two games I've lost the most time to, it's more than likely that it's WoW, then GTA: SA. SA's multiplayer was really basic, but really fun - to the point that, even 3 or 4 years after the game released, I had a buddy who'd come home from college every weekend, and that's what we would do. We would sit in my room, drinking and causing mayhem for hours on end.

Someone mentioned Baldur's Gate, and that reminded me: I'd like to throw Champions of Norrath into the discussion. It uses the engine from Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, but it's a SOE game set in the EverQuest universe with up to 4 players at a time. That's another game that I spent a loooot of hours on with my friends. Four of us would get together at someone's house and start playing at 7 or 8 PM and not stop until the wee hours of the morning.

The one where you steal Madd Dogg's rhymes. It might be called Madd Dogg's Rhymes.

Sucks that the team events start at 9pm when I have to be asleep for 10 and up for work at 4. Got 16 shards, had terrible luck for the first 10 or so, then more network errors than wins in the last hour. On the bright side Corbin is helpful to most and my 2 Elite KO's got a ton of matches thanks to everyone using them, so should be pro'd soon which will push us a bit closer to Hardened.

Just pulled Elite Kevin Owens off the board, which is great and all, but ugghhhhhhhhh. I only planned on getting the hardened Ambrose and cba grinding +1's for KO, but how can I resist when it would be my first Elite Pro? Thankfully I'm at 100/180 on Ambrose and still comfortably winning +5's, so hopefully I don't hit the wall too soon into KO.

My Ultimate Fusion is Lana!

Massive step up from SS Pro Sasha, couldn't be happier.

Was planning on grinding for the Elite Cena to make my first pro, but got booted from my team of randoms like a minute before the event started even though I had some of the best cards and always put in work :/ (what happened to the metalman emoji?)... so I'd like to join a reliable team. Don't care if it's a lower tier since we'll get better fairly quickly anyway. My cards are Ultimate Braun, Ultimate Miz, Summerslam Pro Sasha and Elite Jimmy Hart. I'll have an Ultimate Fusion tomorrow aswell, so hopefully that's a woman and can replace Sasha.

Just sent a request to join the Vipers. My name is mophgoac

I bumped that for like six months straight after it came out. Never skipped a track. Not a bad track on it if you ask me.

Agreed. I first listened to this and The Fix by Scarface on the same day a few years ago and it was a day I'll never forget.

By the time I got my matches in on my SS cards to pro they were useless.

Got an Elite Jason Jordan fusion. Really hope I can get the Ultimate Maryse now to finally move up to the Elite KOTR. Tired of getting SS cards from going out in the quarters/semis due to sleep.

That's good news. I have a bunch of useless SS fusions from trying to get a McMahon card.
