re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Noice, i guess im going to have to start hunting...one question though, if you try to take it out does someone come out of the truck armored up ready to take you down? i wanna be well prepared.

So far, I've had noone put up a fight. I'd suggest trying to take it while a cop is NOT around. The thing is slower than slow.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

you can jack an armored truck with no problems. there is one in the warehouse district on a certain street.

Find a way to blow it up. I went to the gas station right outside the district and parked in the garage with the gas canisters and shot the can to blow it up.

Only thing is the cops come immediately so you have to hurry and pick up as much as you can and jump in the getaway vehicle before the cops shoot you up.

Havent tried wrecking it to make it explode, ill have to give that a shot.

I don't see what the big deal is.

I've had no problem getting them to blow up. Toss a grenade under them and BOOM!!! Money! Money! Money!

Anyone went into a adult store yet? i heard...

You could pick up a dildo and throw it at people. The ultimate weapon.

I finished the storyline a while ago and have recently been completing some of the side missions like the assassinations, but my completion percent for the game isn't changing. I didn't use any cheats, anyone know what's going on?

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I don't think it changes until you have actually completed the side mission. Because I was doing the racing missions and my percentage didn't change until I completed all of them.

I just finished Union Drive...cool little mission.

Spoiler

Did it remind anyone else in the scene in bad boys 2? It was cool how I had to swerve around the flipping cars/trucks and still pop the dudes running.

I'd say Union Drive, Museum Piece, Snow Storm, and Three Leaf Clover are my favorite missions so far.

Did Three Leaf Clover this weekend...that was a good one. Almost got to the point of frustration before I really focused up on my headshots. I hated the way my partners were behaving though, until I passed the mission.

For the people asking about $$$, the car retrieval missions for Stevie bring in a pretty penny. I got kind of addicted to them and I'm at 400k right now without doing much else to raise money besides the main missions, and I'm less than 50% through the game.

I'm taking a shot for the 100% key of the city contest. What site should I use for tips/a checklist?

Florian aka Bernie

that mission where I followed him jogging in the park. Talk about gay. The way he ran cracked me up. Not to mention that mission ended with me taking him home on a moped.

Hahaha... I had the same thought when I did that mission tonight. I was laughing audibly just watching him prance around.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

How do you make money after you've finished the game? I'm about $90,000 short of the 500 grand achievement, and all of the side missions don't offer much cash.

Did you do Stevie's car thefts? Some of the cars can get you $30K+.

I dumped the moped and got a car.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

^^Same here. Those missions are the ones where I finally nabbed a Comet, SuperGT, and Infernius.

I just beat the game about an hour ago:

Spoiler

WOW. Is all I can say. I chose revenge and I have to say I wasn't sad that Kate was gone. I mean, yeah, it was sad to see Niko like that and Peter's phone-call, but other than that I could have cared less. She wasn't even my favorite girlfriend, but whatever - awesome ending, I loved the last mission.

As for Someone Special, what did you guys do?

That decision was tense for me. I walked around the guy about 10 times, targeting him constantly before I finally walked away and drove off. I'm thinking the next time I won't let everybody live, lol.

I listened to Roman and let him live as well. I also listened to him when he said to take the money and work with dimitri.

I FINALLY got all the ******* pigeons tonight. That has to rank up there with one of the most annoying things in recent gaming. There's 200, but you probably trigger the police 195 out of the 200 times you put a bullet in one of these.

I don't know what's worse, that it's only a laughable 2.5% towards the 100% for the total game, or that it mocks you by popping up a 50 point achievement. Really? Something that took hours and much aggravation, is only worth 50 points, but flying a helicopter under some bridges is worth 40.
