Postcards From Liberty City: You Make Me Do This To You

Hello Again! Unfortunately an unseasonal cold kept me from venturing back out into the streets of Liberty City a couple days ago but last night I was feeling well enough to give another hour or so to my visit here. I can't say that things got much better for me. It's a strange feeling, it's like I'm fighting with this place to try and enjoy it, but it's the same things that I've fought with on previous visits here. Some things are actually a whole lot worse. I used to love driving around this place but now it's much more of a chore than it should be. Sure, the cars all handle differently and I've mostly gotten used to it, but it still feels bad.

The new people I've been hanging around are really getting on my nerves. I can't understand a single word the one stereotypical Jamaican guy is saying. My cousin's an annoying piece of shit and everyone else (hell, myself included) are cardboard cut outs from movies I've seen. It's made me want to skip the parts of my day when people start talking.

Here's the weird thing: I still don't want to stop my visit but I can't help but think how much more I enjoyed my visits to Pacific City and Stilwater. Maybe tonight I'll meet up with some of my friends to see what they have going on in Liberty City. Maybe that will change my mind.

'Til Next Time,

Kevin

Yeah, the single player is mediocre, and the cars are pretty hard to handle, especially coming from Burnout. Multiplayer, however, is AWESOME. Swiftwulf and I spent a few hours last night just messing around in Free Mode. At one point we were each driving around ariport luggage carts that had all the tires blown out while trying to shoot each other with handguns. You know what really sold me, though? In the first 30 minutes we ever played the game, we partied up and jumped into Free Mode. I got in a helicopter and proceeded to chop up Swift with the rotor blades. In that moment, the game pretty much paid for itself. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

I can also agree that the multiplayer is indeed where it's at. Team Mafia Work!

I agree that its hard to understand the dialogue at times. To combat this, I've turned on the subtitles.

Ooh, good thinking. I also can't understand a thing that Jamaican guy says, and sometimes the cousin is as well.

@Dan: We CLEANED UP in Team Mafia Work!

Interesting note on one of the Cops & Robbers-type scenarios: we had all died except Dan, so it popped us into spectator mode while we watched Dan try to escape. I was trying to give Dan tips on where to go, yet he was talking to me in the third person. It wasn't until later that I realized Dan couldn't hear me, but there was someone else in our game whose voice sounded almost exactly like Dan's.

Was it Kevin Bacon?

@Kevin: How did you know??? Kevin Bacon's character in the game was actually a male, but the long hair made him look female. Dan (the real one) said he/she was hot, to which Bacon responded "you should see my underwear ads."
