Official Grand Theft Auto IV thread

[QUOTE=GOBB]What mission is that? I cant remember.



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)[/QUOTE]
Thanks, just completed that mission, using this way. Big help.

The Holland Nights, is a mission for the cop guy, can't remember his name now. But, you have to go to the appartment buildings and kill some drug dealer, problem is, the place is absolutely surrounded by the drug dealer's henchmen.

[QUOTE=GOBB]Is it the projects? I think thats it....patience is key...use the cover system. Use the option where u press RB where it has you press up against a wall, then press the aim buttom. You'll automatically lock onto the bad guy around the corner. Keep advancing to the top...i usually crotch down and slow walk it up the steps holding the aim button so it'll lock on the first bad guy in my sights.

You gotta go to the top of the roof then you decide to kill or let dude live. The hard part is going back down...again more patience. Its tough because once u get to the top, you gotta go back down where cops are waiting.

Thats why dating Kiki might be helpful to lower ur wanted level.

I think this is the mission. I know there is another where you're in a building with bad guys. This is a hotel tho.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. Patience is usually my weak spot, I'm way too eager and want to get things done quick.

Just picked this up today, finally, along with the Metal Gear Solid collection (parts 1-3). Only had an hour to play, but it seems nasty so far. Been through the windshield a few times already, hilarious feature.

I'll get into some of the serious missions tomorrow hopefully. But you're right, driving and fighting feel totally different than previous versions.

lol that windshield feature is nice but, sucks when you trying to get away from the cops and you crash they all rush you and kill you easily when your still trying to get up.

this game is HOT!!! got it for ps3, bout to start the serious missions, just started playing little while ago

Just finshed. Man what a great game....

One question though- in white spoiler...

[COLOR="White"]does Kate die if you join demtri instead of kill him?[/COLOR]

NVM read gobbs post.

Wow.

I've completed the story but my game progress is still down at around 64%, what makes up so much more of the game?

Spoiler: [COLOR="White"]Who killed Darko Brevic (or whatever his name is)? And, if you kill him (I let him live) does anything conclude from that?[/COLOR]

GOBB, I bet you can't even imagine not having a 360 now, huh?

I remember before I got a 360 I was like "I got a PS2. How much better can a 360 be? Like I care about online play."

I couldn't have been more wrong. The next gen systems are LIGHT YEARS ahead of PS2 and regular XBox.

Is it me or is barny having an affair with McGreevey?

Korki, I read somewhere that they took out the air planes so no one would reanact 9/11 online, but as for everything else, I completly agree. I was also pissed that they didn't have the businesses from Vice City Stories. You could own special businesses to make extra money like smuggeling, robbery, drug trading, pimping, etc and have little gangs like that.

Has anyone played either of the True Crime games? You could extort business owners, improve fighting and driving skills aswell as gun skills. Really fun games. I also didn't like how they too the gym feature out of the game. But, I guess it makes sense when you have so much to do already.

Yo GOBB, I sold my 360 and I was at 30% complete. I am waiting for my PS3 to come as I pre-ordered it for June 13th, with MGS.

I stopped playing after I chased that russian guy, who wouldn't get out of the car so I threw some grenades at the car and killed him. It's where I had to use the laptop to read his email to know his whereabouts.

My question is, does the game get much better as you progress or is relatively the same thing??
Can you fly planes, helicopters etc?

[QUOTE=GOBB]97.5% game progress. the remaining 2.5% is the 200 pigeon find. i found 3. Gonna find some punk kid to find the other 197 for $5 and snacks. hahaha

100% is close! 41 out of 50 achievements. i'm still gunna do the game in under 30hrs to get that achievement. Yessir.[/QUOTE]


What are the rewards for 100%?

Game has gotten kind of boring now, cant wait for the DLC

[QUOTE=YAH trick YAH]Game has gotten kind of boring now, cant wait for the DLC[/QUOTE]
DLC?

Anyone playing online with PS3?

[QUOTE=Cannonball]DLC?[/QUOTE]

Downloadable Content. I'm also stoked for that.


So I reached the very last mission once ago, which is an absolute breeze until the helicopter part because apparently I'm helicopter retarded. Anyways, once I beat the game what are the side mission things I can do?

I know some of them:

Pigeons
Brucie's Cars
Jacobs Drug Deals
Random Serial Killer in the Street

What are the other ones? (I wish they'd done those business like in Vice City.:hammerhead:)

Explain what the achievement is.

^^^

For downloadable content I predict/hope that addition includes somehow doing missions to start that closed down amusement park back up. Like the way they did businesses in Vice City. It seems weird that they'd mention it like they did and not do anything with it. Then again, maybe that was just to make the city feel like a living, breathing area. Anyways, that's my prediction/hope.

[QUOTE=Korki Buchek]I've gotten all the achievements except two - "Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic" and wanted. I need $1.500.000 more to get wanted (level 10) and I'll get it sooner ot later, but that other one is the most ridiculous achievement I ever saw in an Xbox game after [B]completing Smash T.V. without using any continues.[/B]

I won't go for it, and as far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist. I doubt that anyone who has it has gotten it honest and legit.[/QUOTE]

Its hard enough to beat the first level without any continues, but I love that damned game. A few of those live arcade titles have some insanely difficult achievements though.

Thats how I play my games

This game was great.:bowdown:

[QUOTE=3.2.1.]This game was great.:bowdown:[/QUOTE]
I agree. It got overrated by critics and people started hating on it, making it seem a lot worse than it was. I thought it was bo$$ though.

Bump just to say this is still my favorite GTA. GTA V is amazing, but I just loved GTA IV's story. It seemed to have more memorable characters, too. Just my opinion, though.

Agree, altho what was the regular xbox? Was it like 360 minus the online capability? But yeah that was my mentality. Crazy how things changed now.

My fault people for not replying. Damn this was an old ass thread.


[QUOTE=Uchiha_Hai]What are the rewards for 100%?[/QUOTE]

I cant even remember outside of the achievement. You got to remember I was a big achievement whore back then. Still am, not as much as I was before. I only missed 4 achievements in GTA 4.
