I'm going to be typing this out only to warn you all of the insane amount of awesome that will be found in this game. Such levels of awesomeness have been shown to be lethal in some individuals; mainly Conservative Catholic parents.
I had bought this game as a temporary cure for my advanced case of "Incrediblyboredicitis".
I think, that as long as I am playing this game, that I will never experience the crippling effects of "Incrediblyboredicitis" again.
These pages have been taken directly from my research journal which I always keep on my person in the even of an awesome game. Oh, and for research too, I guess. The number day at the time of me writing this is Day 52, for those who are curious.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day One: Hmm, I guess this game is about running a gang in a fictional city. This feels too much like a GTA clone for me to be comfortable, I'll approach with caution from now on. Just as soon as I finish this mission...
Day Two: It appears that I have misunderestimated this game; as George Bush would say. So far I've done everything I could ever want to do in a free roam sandbox game centered around crime. I've mugged people, robbed stores, bought houses. Hell, I've even gone on a massive and bloody rampage while wearing a hotdog suit! But still. Something about this game seems incomplete...
Day Three: I've found the missing link; it was the aerial vehicles! Out of the last 72 hours I've only gotten five hours of sleep; I've lost ten pounds because I keep forgetting to eat the food that my housemates slide under my door before they retire to bed. Speaking of feeding something... Ah, forget it.
Day 13: After conquering two of the three rival gangs, the Haitian Sons of Samedi, and the Japanese based Ronin; I only need to take down The Brotherhood. I only hope I can take out those vehicle obsessed maniacs before my body begins to metabolize my vital organs. On a side note, I think I've forgotten how to eat.
Day 28: I've finally found the solution! To my eating problem that is. I've managed to create a vitamin and protein rich "soup" with water as a primary component. Then after creating a makeshift I.V. out of a funnel, an empty 2 liter bottle and some old tubes I found laying around; I shall have sustainability!
Day 36: Even long after beating the game, I can't seem to break myself from the binding chains of this game! I've found my cat by the way, he was half dead under my bed. Apparently he'd been surviving by eating the newfound infestation of cockroaches and drinking a combination of sweat and urine that has pooled under my matress.
Day 40: We've reached a problem. My housemates are going on vacation. With nobody to supply me with my water and vitamins, I fear I may have to endure more time starving in my room while playing this amazing game.
Day 67: I will no longer be able to chronicle my experiences with this game; as I will no longer be playing this game. My friends and family all held an intervention two days ago, I've since been checked into a rehab center. I've relearned how to eat and the doctors at this facility have taken the time to remove the maggots and filth from my bedsores. My cat has been nursed back to health by a team of specialists who've confided that this game has caused a staggering amount of pet deaths related to neglect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the tragic end, I will never be able to play this game again; but I would highly suggest it to those with a stronger will and less ADD than I. And for only $20, who could go wrong?
