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

Did all the Jacob runs last night. Do I get anything for it or just the Xbox achievement?

well it all goes towards 100% completion as well as getting money early on. You'll later have single mission that pay out what his side missions did combined.

Come in first. Its not hard; just take the corners carefully and lay down the speed on the straights. Most of the other cars wreck a couple times.

Thanks man.... speaking of which...I was going to make a Grand Theft Drivers Ed thread but I see there are like 50 GTA threads already....but I need help man!!! I completely suck at driving in pressure situations....(chasing,racing)

You guys use LT to brake right? In a chase\race situation is almost like I have to slow completely down to hit a corner w\ a LITTLE bit of speed,but I stay getting dusted....PLEASE any tips would be helpful....

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

I use e-brake and LT brake when rounding a corner and then accelerate once you hit the apex of the corner.

just drive within your car's means. Not every car is set to handle turns quickly. Most will always suck when you are driving all out, slam on the brakes while turning quickly. Just focus on handling the turns well, that means hitting the brakes before you want to turn, otherwise a lot of the cars will handle like boats.

Just finished Three Leaf Clover

Spoiler

Holy crap. I can't believe I got through it on my second try. Some of those cops took an insane amount of shots to bring down. Somebody must have shed some body armor along the way, because I don't think I had much, if any, when I started the mission. I thought I was in the clear when I made it back to Packie's house, but I still had to lose my stars before it would give me the mission end.

So I jump out of my car, which was probably one dent away from catching on fire. I rammed through like 4 police barricades making my getaway. Luckily I was driving a pretty large SUV. So after I jumped out, I ran about three blocks and jacked another car and managed to get out of the wanted area. What a long mission. I would have been so pissed to make it that far, only to have my car explode or something.

the first time I did it, I got all the way to where you come out of the subway access tunnel. I got my guard down after the stars declined a bit, and as soon as I stepped outside, a cop stepped in front of me and shot me in the face with a shotgun. Dead.

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

I'm totally bored with this game now, I know I'm not alone. San Andreas was just so much more fun for me, I've seen on other forums people that agree with me, this game was a big improvment in story and the graphics are pretty sweet overall, but they took way too much stuff out that I liked from San Andreas. There is nothing to do in the cities but go to restruants and bowl (which with comedy clubs are the only things that SA didn't already have oh and darts). The buildings are red herrings most of the times, they lead you no where and don't even have pigeons, I know most of you OSer's love this game, but I'm through with it after just getting to the last city recently.

I am going back to playing SA and Saints Row and Assasins Creed. What really ruined this game for me is that there is too much realism, it's a video game, I don't want a game called Grand Theft Auto to punish me too much for commiting crimes. SA and Vice City and GTA III were all fun to take turns with friends just causing mayhem and running from police, in this game the police are on me like stink on you know what if I even push someone or steal a car.

I don't know how many GTA games you've played but it's pretty much always been like that. If you wanted to go around killing everybody the police would be on you.

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

Finished the SP yesterday morning, and I was totally thrilled with the story, and how it all played out. My only disappointment is that I cannot go back and play my favorite missions like in Saints Row @ the movie theater.

I love the fact that the police is on you like flies to fly paper. Heck I had a 7min run with them chasing me early in the game, and have survived even longer since. I also like picking fights with random NPC's only to have others join the fight, and even chase me if I try to run away!

Great game IMO, and I loved every single minute of the single player mission. Multiplayer is a complete riot with friends!

you can always use the same cheat codes to help with rampages that were around in the old ones. The fun always was causing chaos, and blowing stuff up with cops coming after you. I've played the hell out of all the GTA games, and they have always sent cops after you for stealing cars and shooting people. They just bumped it up a notch in this one, because the city is so dense, that citizens see you doing something and they call the police on their cellphones. I've even heard people call cops on me for stealing cars in a secluded run down part of the city.
