Cool. one of the biggest annoyances in SA was when you can't shoot someone through an open door.

They've fixed that now. However, they did mess one part up really bad. It's almost impossible to hit someone through a fence with anything other than a sniper cause all your bullets hit the fence itself and rarely make it through.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

they've probably made a larger part of the fence than there actually is invisibly solid.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

May be, but I don't think so, cause a few bullets do actually make it through and every sniper bullet makes it through.

Question to the players - How did you guys find the bank mission? Personally I thought that was the most challenging so far, actually took me three attempts first I was shot dead, second the last dude didn't wanna get in the car, just walked around it so I was shot dead again

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

I found it fun, i was on flashing health by the time i made it to the car then i slipped into the nearest spray & paint..
There is one really annoying mission about 60% into the story he's called "J" (map icon so i dont spoil it) I ended up buying a $15000 rocket launcher and blasting the crap out of the mission. It was fun fired all 8 missiles, there was about 20 explosions.

I've been looking for the launcher, haven't come across it yet. I'll be looking forward to that mission.

Have you finished the game Karlos?

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

I've almost beat the game. I'm on the last level, but keep having to restart - I can defeat all of the enemies (20 or so) without getting hurt more than a tiny bit, but I can't seem to make the jump in the motorcycle... I did twice, but the first time I made the jump I ran the heli into the water (too slow climb speed) and the second time I didn't get high enough. From that point on I've either missed the ramp entirely, flew off it sideways, hit a can and tumbled into the water, or ran out of time...

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

Hey guys,
Im lovin GTA4. I especially love the online races. There is a mission where you are chasing some blackmailers with your gay friend Bernie that caught me out. I must have tried the mission ten times before realising that you only had to chase them untill they stopped and not shoot at them from your window like I was doing!!! DUUUURRR.
At least my aim has improved whilst moving....
I think my fave part of GTA4 though is the ability to take a friend out and get them trashed at a bar. Its so funny tryin to get home with the coppers chasin you for drink driving!!! lolol
Keep gaming tribe!!

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

Has anyone visited the statue of Happiness yet?

If you have, did you discover the 'hidden content' without knowing it was there to begin with?

Also, just curious, What is everyone's average speed? Mines says 37.something mph

My fav part of the game - the new auto save feature
