re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Do you guys use cheats any or no ? I don't care about the trophies too much, and It's just not GTA to me without cheats.. lol.

I started using cheats after I beat the game. I use one's like spawn a certain car, or get the police noteriety off. Just makes the game more fun to mess around with, which is the only thing I do now since there's no more story for me(besides those little side missions with the people on the street).

That last mission was frustrating to me. I could never jump onto that heli no matter what it seemed. Ugh.

Yea, I am on the last mission now... I may wait a couple days as frustrated as I was when I tried it.

Just beat TBOGT.... pretty bad sweet.. now I'll have to fire up the other.

edit: I can't believe I said bad sweet. I think I was debating on saying bad *** or sweet.

I've been playing TBOGT, but I haven't even started The Lost and the Damned yet. This game is so awesome.

I used cheats the moment I started the game all the way until I beat it. It didnt hinder your ability to get trophies from what I could tell. I do know that when you used cheats it said something about your percentage and progress not being uploaded to the Rockstar servers due to using cheats but since I didnt care about that, it didnt matter to me at all.

Well IMO you beat the better of the two expansions as TBOGT was far and away better then TLAD. I enjoyed TLAD but not nearly to the extent I did the other.

Yeah, I give BoGT the edge over TLAD - better weapons and better cars(I love Yusef's Super Drop Diamond). But I do enjoy riding in formation and the gang wars from TLAD.

Nope, never.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I'm a few "missions" into The Lost and Damned.

So far, I get the impression that you have to seriously be into this sort of thing to enjoy it. They need to just make a Sons of Anarchy game, then I may could enjoy it.. lol.

Question for you GTA diehards...

I've always stayed away from GTA/sandbox games. I never saw the point of 'free roaming' and doing things when I wanted to do them. I think this stems from growing up in the late '80s with platform games that guided you along.

Well, after passing on all of the GTA offerings for the original XBOX, I finally broke down and bought GTA: San Andreas a week ago. I'm trying my best to warm up to the game/concept. After the first hour I hated it, but after three its grown on me.

With that being said, I'm not sure I see myself playing it much more, BUTTTT, it has peaked my interested in GTA IV. GTA IV is sitting out there like a classic movie and I kind of feel like I won't be complete unless I play it. I keep telling myself I have to be "missing something" for not loving these GTA games, yet the sizeable nature of these games is so daunting. I hear of people putting in 50+ hours, 100+ hours... and that terrifies me. LOL

Now, RDR is sitting out there...

Anyway... to end this rant, do you guys think I'd be better served in buying the GTA IV: Episodes of Liberty City game rather than GTA IV? Would I get the 'feel' of a GTA game, but in a smaller dose?

Yeah. I enjoyed it more than the Niko stuff personally.

Well you say "GTA diehards", so of course I'm going to say it would be a crime to not play GTA IV and the expansions. In that order.

bry422, I suggest you give GTA III, Vice City, LCS & VCS a shot, too.

Vice City and San Andreas are worth playing, going back to GTA III would probably turn him off to the series. People forget that GTA III is pretty old and it does not look to great now adays...
