I know it does, but I'm not seeing my car staying outside when I leave it there.

It's worked every time I've tired. You have to make sure you park in the "Residents Only Parking" spot.

LOL, I just left it in the front of the building.... ha ha

Thanks.

I love how the controller shakes with thunder BTW.

Yep I have my cop car parked there. It's always there when I come back.

Yeah, 3 straight times Ive been knocked out by a pedestrian because as Im hitting the buttons the CPU is hitting me at a much faster pace, causing my guy to stand there and get beaten down. Its honestly getting ridiculous, this guy should be able to beat up a homeless guy, its just very unresponsive and I dont remember reading about that in any of the reviews I read.

You need to pick your spots better. I usually let the guy lunge at me first, dodge it, then tap the punch button very fast for a nice little combo. Using a knife also helps.

Counter and then use Y button. 2 of those kills pretty much anybody.

Yeah I found that out the hard way, I figured there would be quicker combinations, but its more like get just within range, hit them three times and then backup and wait for them to make their move, otherwise I get stuck inside, so to speak, and get lit up.

It is so cool to drive in the night in the rain. The roads are sparkling with the water and the lights of the city look amazing. I love how deep the world is.

I'm dying to play this, and I haven't sent in my RRoD'd 360 yet...

I packaged it up yesterday, but couldn't get to it today.

The attention to detail in this game is incredible.

I called a car from Roman's service after I did enough stuff with him, and I figured it would just be a free taxi, nothing special. But Niko actually starts talking with the car driver about Roman and how he doesn't pay well.

By the way, when you're in a taxi, consider not using the skip option, because it's fun to look around and see what's going on. The detail really hit me when I was sitting in a cab during a rainstorm, and looked out the windows to see a guy holding a newspaper above his head and running down the sidewalk.

I know, especially the thunder and lightning i've seen when it's raining and your controller vibrates

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

Just realized a bunch of the songs on the big list posted earlier are bogus. I looked through the entire manual trying to find the station with Deftones/Slipknot/Slayer/Rage/Soundgarden/Tool and it was nowhere to be found. It said it was the Radio Broker station, but that's not a Metal/Alternative station in the game.

Man, I've been telling myself that I wasn't going to get this game after barely playing COD4 (mostly a sports-gamer). But I'm slowly starting to get 'the itch'. I've already found the closest 24-hour Walmart and may sneak out tonight after the wife goes to bed...

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

Got it and going to give it an hour or two run tonight then more tomorrow night.

I'd love to do some free roam later tonight if you PS3 addicts are on

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

Ok I played this game again for 3 hrs! Mainly because I was having too much trouble with one early mission

All I have to say is, I hate Roman's car with a vengeance LOL

I can't seem to counter or kick when i'm in a fight though, it's weird....

I guess i'll put this as a spoiler "shrug"

Spoiler

In the mission where you have to get at Dardan I actually beat him up til he was so weak by the big plate window and smashed the window and punched him out. It was so gratifying and amazing to see him fall to a watery death.

I've fallen in love with the graphics. I especially like the overcast and rainy weather the most....Now my fingers are all cramped up LOL

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

I am not impressed with the Graphical Engine used. With this game getting 10's every where I guess I was expecting to get blown away Graphically & I'm not for some reason
