Comments on: IRON MAN CURED MY GIRLFRIEND’S STYE!!! or GTA IV HAS TEH BLUE SKIES, ZOMG!!! https://fort90.com/iron-man-cured-my-girlfriends-stye-or-gta-iv-has-teh-blue-skies-zomg/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=iron-man-cured-my-girlfriends-stye-or-gta-iv-has-teh-blue-skies-zomg The homebase of Matthew Hawkins Fri, 15 Mar 2024 13:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: dmauro https://fort90.com/iron-man-cured-my-girlfriends-stye-or-gta-iv-has-teh-blue-skies-zomg/#comment-140035 dmauro Wed, 14 May 2008 15:31:29 +0000 http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=583#comment-140035 STYES STUCK! IRON MAN RULES! I saw it again last night. Great movie. It doesn't hold up to a second viewing as well as Spider-Man 2 of course, but it was still a lot of fun. There wasn't a large audience cheering and laughing as we had opening night, and I realized how much that added to the enjoyment of the film. Matt, I realized that maybe you would prefer the camera control y axis to be inverted which I believe you can change in the options. When you were struggling with the camera facing backwards when you back up (makes some sense but I can see why you wouldn't want it to) it looked like maybe you wanted the the camera controls inverted. And yeah, the controls are a problem for people that don't play a lot of games, but for the rest of us, it's just not an issue. Whenever I fail missions or otherwise get killed it's because I didn't properly plan out an attack or forgot to eat a hot dog between missions. Oh and the MTA employees are not actually MTA employees I discovered. They are construction/electrical workers that have the orange jacket things on that the MTA employees down in the tunnels wear (so they aren't the obnoxious booth employees anyways). STYES STUCK! IRON MAN RULES!

Totally agree with you on its depiction of NYC, it was even funny trying to see what areas in Liberty City correspond to what areas of NYC (Cerveza... Corona, etc), and seeing all those landmarks as when I go to NYC I frequently do it by car. And the Electrochoc station is pretty good... But yeah, the controls are my biggest complaint, along with the graphics being far too blurry in the distance. I can't get over either them enough to enjoy the game, unfortunately.

Wow... you're like the only person I know who does. And it's actually good? For most folks, the re-appearance of blue shells has meant no buys. So you actually have Mario Kart Wii?

You've highlighted the same problem I have with the game, it's too damn squirrly on the controls. That makes it hell hard to play and christ, i'm a pc and console gamer. But what i'm the most amused by is that it's new york homage, created by a pile of scots! Any particular areas you've picked up on being incredibly similar to RL?
