WHY did Rockstar decide to cut out the custom station on the radio in vehicles?

I want to be able to customize the music to my liking, fitting every situation...

Sometimes i wanna hear Shigeru Umebayashi's instrumental genius as the sun is setting and I drive out to the beaches in alderney. And sometimes I wanna hear Disturbed when I've kidnapped a hooker hearing her scream and being chased by cops as i do 180 on the freeway.

Sometimes I wanna hear Sinatra or Solomon burke as I look down on the city that never sleeps from way above on a clear night.

But I can't... I'm hoping this will be an added feature in the future... cause I really don't wanna pause the music each time i step out of a vehicle.

And btw if you read this and can appreciate instrumental Poetry, you might want to check out the Official soundtrack of "The house of flying daggers" this is the best stuff ever written, I'm a Nobuo Uematsu fan and I STILL think this is better. As much as I hate to admit it, this is the only thing that really builds up that lump in my throat, it's just. that. good. (You can thank me later), For now just listen and enjoy, especially Track 08- Lovers, Flower garden.

In 2003 alot of the US Forces returned home from Liberia after the official resignation of president Charles Taylor, that's when we the UNMIL peacekeeper-Force stepped in.

They told us in the following months that so far the project had "Only 15 casualties" and several hundred wounded, it did NOT feel that way when we saw the hospital at Force HQ. It was a bizarre feeling like "Haven't I seen this before? and what the hell is that smell?". When I first visited my brother in Philadelphia a few years before, I also had that funny feeling, everything was so familiar yet it gave me the strangest feeling. Imagine watching a lot of movies your whole life and it's always the same setting, the USA. Now imagine if all you watched were star wars movies your whole life, and in the end you finally got to go there. That's what the feeling was, I was in this fictional country with fictional people, in Liberia it was fictional dead people and fictional wounded, it was surreal. Well, I won't ramble on now since I've probably lost half of the people reading this so far, so this is my point. When I remember those events and I play a game like say... Call of Duty where the violence is so close and intense yet so far away, it makes me feel as though they're trivializing violence itself.

There's no blood, they only react as if they were hit with paintballs except there aint even no paint in there, I always ask myself if this wouldn't do more harm than the exadurated violence of Gears of war for example, at least u see reprecussions of your actions, not people falling asleep as a result of your relentless paintball attacks. I first saw a dead person when I was 6, and a bomb went off at the shopping mall we were in on Manilla (philippines), I don't remember what the story around that event was but I remember that this was not a pretty sight. I just kinda stood there for a while stunned, you know when u feel as though u can move but nothing really happens, your brain kinda works but it disconnected itself from the rest of ur body. I don't feel this has affected me in anyway this many years after, and i don't see why we can't show the truth of the world to young one's, I'm not supporting selling m rated games to minors or something, I'm just saying if ur gonna let a kid go around killing ppl in a game, at least show the whole truth, show what really happens when you do put a knife to someone's throat, do not trivialize it!

I just don't get it, if you're truly happy with your own system why on earth would you keep bashing on others?

And having said that 360 rules!! lol...

I was previously a sony man, not now though. It's pretty clear what has happened, the 360, is this generation's ps2, and the ps3 is the old xbox.

Look here... Xbox came late, ps3 came late, xbox was confident it would crush all competition with superior hardware, same as ps3.

Instead of focusing on the games, they were just showing off muscle, microsoft learned from this, and now have most of the worthy exclusives. The xbox didn't really establish itself until the end, same probably with the ps3. The 360 has too much of a lead, and too many exclusives coming, it's pretty clear who wins this round.
