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

    Maybe one of you guys can help me out. I kind of want to free-aim and not have my weapon lock onto everything or everyone.

    I was wondering how you can just shoot with the crosshair up, but not locked onto anything. Or if it is even possible...

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

      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
      Roman's car is a curse in the game, it just flat out sucks.

      Spoiler


      I just had one of those moments where you just marvel at the crashes. I was in a sportscar going out of my mind fast, when I look ahead and see a red light and a hummer stopped in front of it. I have no way to slow down to even I would say about 70 mph so I try to go in between the hummer and another car. Niko goes flying epicly forward while the people in the other cars get out and start going insane. It is great to just see how people react to things.

          it is possible, you hold the left trigger halfway to do what you speak of

              I've tried playing the PS3 version now three different times throughout the day. All three times, the games has locked up on me. Just freezes and the system will not respond to the PS button or the front power switch. I have to shut it down in the back. I don't think it's my system because other PS3 games are playing fine without freezing. The freezes also seem to happen at various times, or different points from when I started playing

              Also, I have not been able to connect to the online multiplayer through Nikko's cell phone. Keeps saying "Cannot connect to game provider".

              Sheeeesh, these freezes and online issues are killing me here

                That reminds me of a feed I was watching last night. A guy just got the game for the PS3 and it locked up before he even played it...3 straight times! He finally got it to work though.

                    G4 just reported that you need to delete you game file and re-install. That is suposed to fix the freezing issue.

                      A lot of forums and online places like Kotaku buzzing that PS is locking up and 360 is getting DDE.

                        Also quick question, do you guys find yourself adjusting the lighting often?

                        At night I find myself having to adjust because I can't see. When the sun hits full stride mid day I have to adjust again so it doesn't look washed out.

                        I know a couple PS3 people mentioned this before. Anyone on the 360 having lighting issue this these?

                          no freezing in my game, but I have the same problem trying to get online.
                          I think we have to open up ports on the router. Do you have a router?/
                          I remember reading the ps3 needs like 4 ports open for online play.

                            It's a bit dark at night but so far I haven't felt the need to adjust brightness just yet. Otherwise everything is perfect IMO.

                              Yep, mine has locked up on me twice. WTF. Glad other people are seeing the same issue.
