Yes.

I just checked a spot on 167th, 2 on Fordham and one on 181st, no go. Everybody said they're getting and selling it monday the earliest.. Guy on 167 said he might be getting it and selling on Saturday and to come back and check.

Somehow though I've mustered the strength not to watch any of those gameplay vids...How long I can hold out is a completely different story.

Zekey. They dont spoil anything, all the videos are of people driving around and shooting people. No storyline or anything.

I assumed they werent storyline spoilers...To me they're experience spoilers.

I remember the first time I played GTA 3, and how blown away I was. I want to get that same feeling or something similar.

From what I've been reading from you guys and others I feel like Rockstar has created another game that will change the way I think about gaming, AGAIN!!!

Boo. Lamp posts still just detach and fall to the ground.

I think that in a way, they're doing us a service by making it like that. Think about it... you're running away from cops or doing a mission, just about to accomplish whatever it is you need to accomplish... then suddenly, all fails because your momentum was destroyed by swerving into a lamp post.

That would annoy me to no end.

Much like those "open" (challenged) layups annoyed people in 2K8

I have no idea how I will make it the next two and a half weeks ignoring all these gameplay videos and impressions. I have finals the next couple weeks so I just had it shipped to my house instead of here at school so that there's no temptation to not study. May 9th is going to be a good day.

The gunplay looks really solid.

One thing that I find curious that I've seen in a few videos, is that when you're on foot, there's a ton of traffic. The minute you get in a car, it seems to disappear.

Look at this video.

This video, when he's driving up until about the :33 mark, not much traffic. Then he smashes the car, get's out and there's a TON of traffic on the street. He jacks another car....and the traffic is gone again. Watch at it pans behind the car at about the :56 mark...where did everybody go?

Woot! The "no fear of playing GTA4 without their system dying" club in full effect!

I have no fear of my 360 dying. ur ps3 might die, who knows. do you really think there are no PS3's that have died. Obviously not even close to the 360's #'s but these guys have been fixing them and mine is good to go.

This don't bother me too much. It gives the look of a huge city while you're walking around, while still being able to maneuver through traffic while you're driving.

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

I'm guessing that's so you aren't constantly running into cars when trying to escape. Along the same lines as the detachable lamp posts -- if there are cars filling up all the streets, you'll never get anywhere. It does take away from the realism of the city though.
