Multiplayer…And More!
I have now had the opportunity to play the Multiplayer mode a couple of times and once i’ve been able to actually get a game going, it’s been very fun! Problem is, since i’m such a total noob at the XBox, it’s been very difficult to get a game going, added to the fact that it took FOREVER to get one working on XBL. Multiple [sorry] games i tried to both join and create the other night kept crapping out over and over. Maybe my internet connection isn’t stable? Not sure yet.
But the two games i did get into were great fun…in one of them i was working co-operatively with my buddy Sean [WHAT UP KESS BOMB!] driving, flying, swimming and boating! Much hilarity and mirth ensued. Earlier, I played in a Deathmatch as well, which was ok. I like the fact that they open up the whole city for you to play in when you go online like that. It’s perfect for a player like me, who – as ED loves to point out – cannot wait to open up locked areas the NORMAL way – you know, by EARNING them…
I think tonight when i get home and after i make and have dinner, i’ll boot it up back up and see who’s on and up for more Multiplayer mayhem. Or maybe i’ll try to actually finish that damn mission i’m stuck on. I have a feeling i’m WAY behind all the other players as far as how much of the game i’ve finished. But you know what? THAT’S OK! For how long we had to wait for this damn game, i’m going to wring every single ounce of fun out of it – and if that means taking 150 hours instead of the promised 40-45 hours to finish it, then so be it. That’s the beauty of this series, it seems to me – it rewards you for taking your time and enjoying it! So fuck all y’all – i’ll do this at my own speed, thank ya very much.
