where do you see what % someone likes you. Really never paid attention to this before.

For girlfriends it is the Player tab.

For everyone else it is the first tab.

So im guessing im rounding up the story...

regarding last mission with Roman towards the end of the story.

Spoiler

What did you guys do? did you go for the deal with Dimitri? or did you get revenge on him? i decided to go for the money...i really should of went for the revenge now that Roman is dead, too bad for his newly wed wife...i cant wait to see what happens from here

Spoiler

Well, I personally went for revenge and killed Dmitri. I was all relieved cause Kate pretty much agreed to go out with me afterwards. And if you don't want to know what happens when you choose revenge, don't click this next spoiler...

Spoiler

Well, needless to say there was a cutscene, and those never end without gunfire. I ended up without a girlfriend, but I still had Roman. So either way you lose someone, but if you hate Kate, then you're a little less bummed one way (but for whatever reason I really liked Kate)

well little jacob did give me his ability, but now I can't do it, as I've ignored him and he only likes me like 54%. I guess you have to keep it over a certain level. You can accept a man date, then cancel it and you don't lose points as if you had just turned them down.

Strange, I set up something with Roman and then canceled afterwards because I thought the same thing yet I did get negatively effected by it still. I wish there wasnt such an emphasis put on going out constantly with the guys/friends in this game, I know its for realism purposes but it starts to remind me of The Sims and having to micro-manage things I dont want to.

well I guess you could always just forget them until you beat the game, then work them back up with hanging out. All they offer is some extra benefits that aren't real important. Roman's is the most useful, but you'll also never fall out of the proper % favor with him like you can with brucie, jacob or the others.

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

I wouldnt say Romans is the only one with any importance, Little Jacobs is the most important for me at the moment. Im unsure on what Brucie's ability is but Little Jacobs will certainly come in handy once I get it unlocked.

Actually, looking over everyons special abilities, I think they all are useful.

thats one of the very few things that was in San Andreas(PC) that i wish was in GTA IV.

Saints Row also allowed you use music that was shared over a network to be played in the game(not as a radio station, but would play all the time and would automatically lower the volume of the music if someone was talking on screen). that was pretty cool.

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

You can still play music like in SR, but it will not be played like a radio station like GTA SA on the XB/PC. It will just play over the game's sounds per se.

Can't. Stop. Playing.


I'm like a drug addict.

I must also say I've rang up quite a bill on Taxis. I got so tired of driving that all I do now is use taxis.

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

Yeah i've been using alot of cabs as well. If it's a large fare (over say $40) i just pull the cabbie out after he has delivered me and beat him up and get my money back.

The best "random incident" i have ever seen happened yesterday:

I was driving over an overpass and there is a buger joint there and always seems to be a few bikers there hanging about. My car was almost totalled and was smoking badly when i drove up and hoped out and bumped into a biker who took a swing at me. There was nearby policeman who came over and tried to arrest the bikie who pulled a gun and started shooting at the cop. They were both shooting at each other and one of the bullets must have hit my beat up car as it started to catch fire.

The biker ended up shooting the cop dead so i called 911 on my phone and a police cruier showed up and they also started to shoot it out with the biker and some of his friends joined in and it developed into a nice little minny shootout.

Now if that wasn't cool enough my car exploded and seeing as there was heaps of traffic arround it set off a chain reaction that took out at least 6 cars and the ambulance that had come to collect the first dead cop! Must have been about 20 people killed all up and i just ran around after it was all done collecting the dropped money and guns.

It was awesome to see how absolute chaos could come from such a little incident and without me being much of a part of it. Def one of the coolest things i've ever seen in a videogame!!

Best......game.......ever.....
