Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

Tried to get this everywhere.. the last place I tried has a:

"Xbox 360 elite console + GTA4 for £259.99" Boxed on Display

however when I asked if i could buy that package, they stated they are out of stock of the game, so cannot sell me the console! lol!

i will just have to wait.... a bit more.....longer :( *CRY*

I hate this game already. Way overhyped.


BF2 for me.

I dont like the camera angles.

Flying the Helecopter is Very hard, and blowing cars up on the ground using the mounted miniguns is near to impossible without crashing.

when you punch people, it takes them ages to die ( Annoying when its the cops )

You cant attach Petrol tankers onto the back of your truck.



Thats it so far, it may just be because i dont like consoles though. Its no different from San Andrea's . ( SA is more fun IMO, with the jet and monster truck )

I played this on PS3 last night, only for like 30 mins though,

I dont like the handling of the cars or the controls, but im sure they can be changed!?

I was on it for 5 and a half ours straight last night. Absolutely loved it! Yes, the car handling is pretty rubbish but once you get used to it, its fine! Can't wait to get back from work to play on it again!

The game freezes for some gamers !

Crap. I was hoping that wouldn't happen. Somewhat proves that the PS is harder to code for The same happened with Assasin's Creed but they released a patch for it and now it's all good. I haven't had it freeze on me yet .... hoping it will stay that way.

Brought GTA IV today for $80 AUS (Went to EB games and said i saw it in K-mart for $80 but they sold out saved $40.. lol)

Its a good game, grahpics are amazing but the game play is almost the same as SA.
I like driving while drunk. XD

One thing i hate about it is the World Blur.
1) The set distance is too close its more in the foreground than the background.
2) The blur gets worse with a higher resolution
3) After 20mins of game play my eyes hurt...

But still very much worth buying.

I managed too get this without preorder at about 1pm on release day, haha.

It's pretty good.
Unlike Aus_Karlos, I don't like drink driving, although I tried it once. I'll try it again.
I feel guilty when I kill innocent people, so i try not too do it.
Brucie is the best character so far.
I'm sure theres loads i could type about.

Has anyone had a guy hold on to their car when you steal it? haha

Well, I guess getting stuck on the hood doesn't count...

Another thing I've discovered, you can actually call 911 and ask for a fire truck, ambo or cops and they actually turn up Makes it just that little bit easier stealing their cars.

Just a quick note. If your GTA freezes on the loading screen after the startup pics eg. "Loading - No Lost Love", most people have found the problem, simply uncheck "Sign in Automatically" for your online gaming, and make sure you are not logged in before you start GTA.

[Jack.Sparrow]

It froze on me today I did that but it didn't work so I had to start the game all over again ...

[beefers1]

heh. i bet they'll resolve those issues on the PC version (if there ever will be one! why haven't they even confirmed it yet???)

[Jack.Sparrow]

Too early right now. They'll be releasing patches for the console versions first

[beefers1]

arg... why do you always have to find a solution that actually makes sense ?

(also: one of the only times i'll ever use an emote; they're just too out of my character)
