Re: The Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

I loved the internet dating mission. Very funny.


I do think the driving controls should be more forgiven due to the nature that this is a game. But I am getting better at the controls, though that isn't saying much.

I was winning the first race you get, but then my stupid xbox froze on me right before the finishing line. Ugh....had to do it 2 more times before I won.

I think you can't date anyone through the online service until the dating mission. Which really sucks.

Michelle wears the same thing no matter what. I have her at 100% affection level. Trying to get my friends levels up to 100. You get some cool bonuses from them. Like *** SPOILERS ***
Little Jacob will drive to you and sell discount weapons. I hope Brucie gives access to cars when you get up there.
*** END SPOILERS ***


I am really enjoying Nico. He has to be the coolest game character so far. I just hope it doesn't take long to get to the other island so I can get some new clothes.

The second safehouse still is as crappy as the first, and no garage....

If you're one of the people experiencing freezing issues with GTA4 on PS3 Take-Two tech support has a solution for you. Just don't expect it to be easy.

Re: The Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

That would be counter productive, since it requires deleting my save data.

Re: The Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

Counter-productive, yeah, but most of the PS3 freezing issues are with the very first cutscene/mission, so from the complaints I've heard personally this would not matter. Still sucks, though.

I got an 80 gb PS3, and GTA works just fine so far. Slow-down sometimes, but what GTA didn't have that?

Re: The Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

And what about all the stuff like GTAIV logos on coffee cups? And if you ask me, intentionally keeping something behind a veil increases hype and expectation more than not. Kinda like how they're keeping Indiana Jones 4 under lock and key so they can... build interest!

are you like ... a teacher or something?!

Re: The Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

By who? Definitely not by Rockstar as they specifically avoided releasing information about the game. Outside of what was shown in the original demo, they never revealed any other features of the game and any interviews with the leading heads basically revealed information people already knew.

Same could be said about the Wii though, and we all know how hyped that was even before the E3 demo.

Re: The Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

Who was the guy with the BRILLIANT idea of having the button for running being the same as the one for answering the damn phone?! No! I'm being shot at I must ru... answer phone. SON OF A *****!

Where do you live? Sunnyvale, USA? There's not a street in Manhattan where you won't hear some businessman flinging profanity over his cellphone or seeing a bunch of college kids in the subway talking at the top of their lungs about how good they are in bed.

Canadians can't possibly live in Sunnyvale, USA. I kind of have a similar complaint as Mr. Glooms. I've never heard people swear that much anywhere in real life. So I rename the game Grand Theft Auto F***.

Run away then just call the person back, dopey.

Re: The Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

I didn't want to talk to them in the first place. Just running, they call, me sprinting makes me answer, next you know it I'm dead.

Your garage is the section of street right outside the apartment that's marked off in yellow as resident parking only. Just park inside the yellow box.

The cab is so cheap and easy that I barely drive anymore.
