[QUOTE=glidedrxlr22]How's the driving guys? Heard that the E-brake is pretty much useless and you have to take turns slowly.[/QUOTE]
you need serious skills to use the e brake properly. the brakes sucks... just like what gobb said you seem to skid and always hit the car(/or w/e) infornt of you
multi player is the shyt!
[QUOTE=T.O.RAPS]With the red ringed, yall ever heard of the towel trick? That if it gets a red ring you wrap in up in a towel, turn it on, and leave the 360 on for sure an hour and it gets real hot then let it cool this supposivly fixes it. I havent ever tried it. *knock on wood[/QUOTE]
its a temp fix. I tried it and it worked for 1-2 weeks and the red rings came back. Just call and send it back.

[QUOTE=GOBB]multi player is the shyt![/QUOTE]
I wish I could freaking play it online for the ps3, but I'm still having tons of problems. I tried Turf Wars and a couple races for the 360 version at a friend's house, and now I'm regretting getting a ps3. Pretty ironic that I bought a ps3 to avoid hardware issues(or atleast it had a part in me buying a ps3 instead of 360), and then this problem comes up.
I guess the single player is good enough though. I've played the game for a good 7-8 hours, and I've only completed 12%.
9.77% completed thus far. So far my missions have been basic. The kind that gets you familiar with how to shoot, throw etc etc. Which is cool because you need to know that shyt playing multi player hahaa
got 20+% of the game done in around 11 hours of playing.
for those having driving problems, just hop into a hummer and run everyone/thing over.
tip for ppl who wanna drive better just don't accelerate when turning corners this may be hard to get used to for those who have a life
I find the driving extremely easy:confusedshrug:
22% complete
I am shocked that so many of you think that driving is bad in this game. Ok let me re-phrase that a little, you guys need to get used to it before you start appreciating how genius Rockstar have become as a gaming company.
Do any of you played Gran Turismo before? If you have you'd know there is a learning curve, but that learning curve will make you an exceptional driver. The mechanics ARE real life, the accidents you get into look so real etc.
I had trouble braking but that's only because I was so used to previous GTA titles where I just run over cars, in this game the emphasis is on GOOD driving...you can't really speed like a maniac anymore, and I actually perfected the brakes already. I just roamed around the city for like the first 5 hours or so, I'm at about 5% complete. The game is really good, I'm not yet sure if it has a greater entertainment value then San Andreas though...there are a lot of things that are omitted from this game that I loved in SA (like going to the gym). Maybe I simply haven't found them yet, I visited strip clubs, bowling, billiards so far...bowling is pretty addictive. :oldlol:
Anyways, the driving I love it...I know most of you hate it, but I am a much better driver now because of these mechanics. I rarely crash into cars or anything anymore...I am a much more realistic driver, you guys will get used to the driving though...and eventually will appreciate it.
Niko is ALREADY my favorite character in the GTA, guy is such a likable character...and his humor is endless. I'm psyched to getting back to playing this game [B]full time[/B] after the playoffs are over.

x2
i got the driving down after like 15mins
i got the game last night and i'm 25% done.
anyone wanna get a gang together for some online play?
I have a couple friends and a couple guys from work. A couple more for an 8 man gang would be DANDY.
Skywalker, I will as soon as I purchase Xbox live. I don't even have a gametag yet, since I have never played online before. But definitely, I'll join your gang if you still have room for me. :cheers:

Really??? I've been playing "Cops N Crooks" online with no problem on PS3. I haven't tried anything else though. I'll try "Turf Wars" and see if it works and let you know.

I have PS3 :confusedshrug: or I would join.
Little Jacob is the man. If anyone has did the warehouse mission where you have to try to kill Dimitri when you find out he's a snitch would know?
So on a scale of 1 to 10 what is gta iv
In my first 7 hours, I'd give it a 9. I think San Andreas was more fun early on, now the lead character is by far my favorite...but there are a lot of things omitted from the game that I enjoyed from the previous title.
By the end of it, I'd probably give it a 10 and will probably surpass San Andreas.
The graphics, the story looks flawless...when I roam around the city for some reason I don't have as many things to do, but I'm sure it'll pick up as the story progresses.
The cell phone was a genius idea though.
Just got the game today and I'm pretty bored so far. The early missions seem absolutely boring and only seem to open the game up for more action/missions/work later on in the game.
I agree with LA's Finest, that San Andreas was more fun earlier in the game. So far, it feels like all of I've done is pick up people who Roman knows. The most action I've had so far was one of the Jamaican guy's missions where I have to shoot 2 guys, and that's about it.

The begginning missions are basically teaching you the new controls for the game. How to aim, throw, various places and so forth. How to even use cabs instead of driving for days...hop in and go to your destinations. It is slow early on, but trust me when I tell you. That is for your own benefit. So practice and learn how to control the game because you will be OVERWHELMED with missions, side missions, lil bs tasks/jobs, having to keep up with the internet because you get emails that you need to check/reply too (which also opens up other things) and hanging out with friends. Little Jacob you can bowl, play darts, drink, eat, pool or do a job for him. Thats just 1 friend.
You're gonna be getting text msgs out the ass and might forget to read and/or respond to them. You're gonna be at a point where you simple will feel swamped with stuff to do and you wont know how to manage your time and please everyone or who to please, who to neglect etc etc.
There are missions where at the begginning of the game if you dont practice/pay attention to the controls? You're gonna be attempting it a lot. Something simple as riding a bike and how to control it while trying to shoot moving targets. Only the moving targets are weaving in and out of traffic making cars/buses, trucks ahead of you swerve in your path. You run into them? You're flying off the bike...and if you're health is down? You could die from flying off your bike or getting hit by a speeding SUV. And if you dont die [I](like i said it depends on ur health say u were in a previous mission getting lit up and didnt replenish ur health)[/I] the guy gets away and u start ur mission over. When u start it over u get a text to restart and sometimes you'll get an incoming phone call from someone wanting to hang, ur girlfriend wanting to go out or another mission. :oldlol:
It starts off slow/kinda boring, but believe me it will pick up. San Andreas was great but you were never overwhelemed with so much to do like GTA4. You had a chance to relax/breathe and just BS around the city which was fun. Also you'll be getting into those missions where u have to make a choice. Apart of that alternative ending GTA4 has. You might wanna save it seperately jus in case u wanna try it a diff way. I dunno. I saved all my stuff (60% thus far) on 1 save. So i gotta do the whole game over if i wanna see diff or the right way to choose/pick. I'm gonna do it, game has replay value out the ass. :rockon:
60% so far. :party:

It'll pick up a lot. I wonder if you can get a new cell phone? There are options on ur cell phone? Also you know you can change your ring tones right? Play with the phone options a bit and u'll see an option for all that. I didnt get a chance too. Do it later.
Thanks gobb, you've picked my head up and I now look foward to continuing with the game. I've just started to get stuff like the texts and phone calls and having to hang with Roman just cause he wants to eat. It seems pretty cool and is starting to pick up a bit now.
But, like you said, I've got numerous people wanting me to pay attention to them and I completely forget about certain people and I end up spending too much time on one thing.
I just finished the game :banana:
Gonna end it a different way to see the other ending later. Doubt i get 100% but if I want I can do it all over and kill the right people so its possible. I might, who knows. Ahhhh I'm a G. :cheers:
:lol

Did you kill the dude in the end or let him live?
[QUOTE=v-unit]Did you kill the dude in the end or let him live?[/QUOTE]
Spoiler in white, make sure no one sees it
[COLOR="White"]Killed him[/COLOR]
I haven't played this game in 4 days, my knee feels better so I am outside playing ball and lacrosse. I'm still at 24%, but like GOBB said...this game just keeps getting better and better, deeper and deeper.
Not a hugeeeee spoiler, but anyways, check white.
[COLOR="White"]I heard if you let him live, you get to do some extra missions for the dude and then there is some like tragic, sad, crazy insane ending, no idea what though, wikipedia isn't telling me ****. Nevermind, just checked what happend.[/COLOR]
How the hell do you do the [I]Holland Nights[/I] mission? Everytime I try it, I get killed either by the thugs trying to protect the guy I'm after or the police?
I'm also stuck on Packie's mission, where I have to rob a bank. I tryed to run down the alley at the side of the bank, where there was a cop car, but surrouned by cops, I tried to get into it, but got killed straight away. Sh!t is pissing me off.
[QUOTE=Kebab Stall]How the hell do you do the [I]Holland Nights[/I] mission? Everytime I try it, I get killed either by the thugs trying to protect the guy I'm after or the police?[/quote]

You get 7 grenades...when you run down the alley and see the cop car? Dont hop in it. Take a grenade, toss it towards the cop car...then run for cover. Cop car will blow up, you and packie/other guy will kill any cops and advance forward. At the end of the alley way on your left and right cop cars and cops. Kill the cop at the dumpster, then take a grenade and throw it at the cop car on your left. Run for cover....cop car blows up, another path is cleared. You 3 start running....just keep running. There will be a big street with cops/cars in both direction. I ignore those and keep running. You'll hit another street where cop cars and SWAT van block the street....throw a grenade at the cop car to your right (thats the street u eventually run down)....take cover. And kill any SWAT/cops coming towards you. When you clear that car away you will run down the street. Be careful there are cops on the 2nd floor of buildings (fire escape)...you get into a gun fight...kill them and run straight ahead (follow packie). Dont worry about the cop cars or anything....just haul ass and then you'll be taken to another scene where you run down the subway to get away. Down the subway all you do is gun fights. Kill the guys so they wont shoot/kill you and advance. You'll come to a point where you jump down tracks...when you do? Just keep running to the yellow marker...dont worry about the cops behind you...they wont follow/chase. They just shoot so run to that yellow marker, then run up the flight of steps to the next yellow marker (which will be the street). Soon as you hit the street (dont worry packie and dude are behind you)...find a car. There should be one parked. Hop in and lose your warning level. :oldlol: Tough but not hard.
The key when you're running in the tunnel is soon as you hit that yellow marker? Speed up the steps to the street. Faster u go the better chance u have a head start on cops. If you go slow, BS, or even go the wrong way (really no wrong way, just go up the steps and up and up) cops will arrive and you gotta shoot out/find a car. The faster you get to the street? Easier you can speed off and lose the warning level.
What i did? Soon as i got in the car. I press START, found a body garage and placed the red marker on it. Then followed the green path leading me to the body garage...that way you can get in there, they spray paint your car and warning level gone. Trying to out speed them is gonna be tough and you havent met Kiki who can LOSE your cop warning level up to 3 stars.
Long post, but this is how its done (took me 9 tries, no one told me to use grenades for cop cars until the 7th attempt lol)

(spoiler in white text, dont quote if u dont wanna read)
Wow! [COLOR="White"]They didnt give me that option! I guess because i was just shooting dude the f*ck up, i guess i didnt see the [I]"kill or let live"[/I] option. Arrrrrrgh, more missions i screwed up! [/COLOR]
Good thing i have another save...i kept another save to do the game different. There is an option for Dimitri or the money. I did Dimitri so i had this save to do the "Take the money" mission.
[COLOR="white"]Does Roman get killed at his wedding if you kill pegaraimo (however his name is spelled)?[/COLOR]
yo vunit where u read that shyt? i swore there wasnt no option to let him live or kill. we must not be talkin about the final mission. link me to the shyt u read
My friend sent me some sketchy link that said that, can't find it now (white text)
[COLOR="White"]Yeah he dies, but I didn't even see the choice to let him live or not, so I don't know, but wiki said "You can exact revenge on Dimitri, or strike a deal with him" and if you do the deal, you have some crazy ending apperently.[/COLOR]
Oh ok i know what you're talkin about. Spoiler in white...
[COLOR="White"]You have to make a decision. Seek revenge on Dimitri and go to the docks and kill him (there is no other choice) or make friends and take the money (go to a warehouse with phil bell and fight off all these guys, then chase the dude with the money). If you choose the money? During the wedding Roman gets killed. If you kill Dimitri? Roman doesnt get killed but Kate (Packie sister) does. Thus u seek revenge on the Pegalmaro mob guy who put out that hit because he feels u double crossed him with the diamonds. When u kill him there is no option[/COLOR]
[QUOTE=GOBB]Oh ok i know what you're talkin about. Spoiler in white...[/QUOTE]
I took the 2nd option and sure enough, BAM gunned down in a drive by. I found hte bank job to be pretty easy. I died a couple of times, but as long as you use cover, you can get by with just the assault rifle.
