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

Sometime yesterday I left some early impression regarding the graphics and that I was disappointed.

Well, I've been able to work past that. Just taking the game for what it is I guess. It's definitely a huge step forward graphically compared to previous games in the series. I still don't think that graphically it realizes the full capabilities of the next gen systems as there are other games out there that blows GTA4 out of the water in that department!!

I really enjoy the storyline and the overall gameplay. Online free roam mode is big time fun being able to do whatever you want. For example last night me, AuburnAlumni and Candyman had our initial spawn point set inside the LC airport. We would run around collect the sniper rifles, RPG's, assault rifles and molataf cocktails. Then we'd all hop into a heli and fly ourselves to a building rooftop, land and rain death from above

About my only gripe with the game is that I wish the objects in the environment were more interactive. There are plenty of things on the map that you should be able to blow up that you cant I unleashed a bullet storm on a tanker truck last night and nothing---Just some sparks, but no KABOOM!!

Oh well, even with the some of it's shortcomings, I am enjoying this game ALOT!!!

It's a must buy, no doubt !!!

dude, considering the amount of things this game is doing at one time and is streaming everything at once while you play, i think you gotta chill with the graphics, i think you have to give rockstar a lot of credit on how great the graphics look. if you can tell me a game that looks better considering on how much is going on and how big the game is, then cheers. but for the meantime id enjoy it and just appreciate it whether its on ps3 or 360.

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

Here's a funny little story from my gameplay yesterday:

I had just got out of the hospital after getting my *** kicked by a homeless guy. So Im walking and decided to carjack this guy in an armored truck. I look around and notice no cops so I drag his a** out the truck, but dont get in.

As soon as I do that, the cops pull up but they don't give me a star. So, when the guy gets up, I calmly turn my back to him and begin to walk away. The guy is mad I made it seem like nothing happenned so he clocks me in the back of my head. Bad move, a**hole.


I yelled out at my TV "You gonna let this b**** do that to me officer ?" The cops tell the guy to freeze and they draw their guns on him and then arrest him. One cop opens the back door and the other cop escorts him to the backseat in handcuffs. I walk right behind this dirtbag criminal laughing my a** off the whole time. Poor armored truck driver guy.


So having just gotten away with an attempted carjacking, I'm feeling very I decide to make sure they lock this scumbag driver up for good. So I hop ontop of the police car and crouch down. I wanna make sure they take this jerk straight to lockup. Bad idea, Niko. The cops yell out "freeze!" again, only this time theyre talking to me. So now with both of the cops focusing on me, Mr. Scumbag Armored Truck Driver decides this is the perfect time to try and make a run for it, and he hops out of the backseat of the police car, handcuffed and all running like a madman.

Me being the law abiding citizen that I am , I catch Mr. Scumbag and knock his *** to the ground. Both of the cops approach us. And they both start firing. At both of us. Mr. Scumbag gets arrested yet again, and I get wasted.

LOL! That is hilarious! How do you get into cars without jacking them? Anytime I get into a car they always throw the driver out.

Can you shoot someone in the back of the head while seated in the car with them?

I have had hot coffee 3 times with her so far. too bad she doesn't know I am picking up hookers as soon as I leave her place.

LOL I have yet to find hookers. Do you have to get through certain missions first? Where are they located? Do you still just honk at them?

Seriously? I've had 2 dates with her,the first I took her bowling,and the second we just went to get drinks.
When I took her home the second time,the prompt came up,and I wanted to go for it...lol,but she gave some excuse,and the date ended with only a kiss.

So....after being "frustrated"...I found me a "friend" and got some action,only to stab her when she got out of my car...lol.
Violent?? maybe...but I was frustrated no more

You're lame that's why. We went and ate at a cheesy diner and I got some hot coffee right after.

Secret to getting action from Michelle? Let her win at pool or bowling. Or at least that's how I got her to put out the first date.

I jsut took her to eat and that was that.

I killed 2 people on a date with Michelle, she hates me now. Not to mention, I then killed everyone who lives in a the radius of her home as well because she wouldn't give me any play.

I spent like $250 bucks my first time at the strip club. Got three lap dances. Kept waiting for something to come off, but never did.

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

Tell her "Yeah but they have this" then proceed to show her you on the receiving end of some kind of job.

Haha... actually, she thought the double lap-dance I got at the Triangle Club was awesome.

She's such a great girl

Yeah I agree. I don't really think it's fair to compare the graphics of an open world game like this, to something like Gears of War (just an example). Maybe that's why I've loved the graphical quality, I don't expect a game this huge and detailed to be better or on the level of some games that are drastically smaller.

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

Dookie, Just honk at them. Not sure where I picked mine up but the neighborhood looked ruff. I banged a big black hooker. Then I stabbed her.

All of the above applies to the 360 version......

I also picked up the PS3 version and basically found the graphics to be almost identical. If I had to give an edge to either one, I'd have to go with the PS3 by a smidge.

The big difference between the two at this point lies in two different areas for me:

1) Online multiplayer on the 360 has been flawless out of the box for me. No issues connecting or with lag. On the PS3 that's a totally different story as I can not even connect to online at all !!!

2) The PS3 version has now froze up on me six straight times!!! I have not been able to start up the game, play it for even a short period of time and then shut it down on my own terms and when I want to. So far, it just freezes up for no apparent reason and locks my PS3 up completely in the process. Can't even shut the PS3 off with controller PS button or the main panel. I have to flip the switch off in the back to power off my system

Factoring in the two issues mentioned above, here's the percentage of my playing time that each version will get:

XBOX 360 - 100%
PS3 - 0%

I'll hang on to the PS3 version for awhile though to see if R* fixes anything via a patch.

I can't find any... =/

Did she ride you? LOL

When you stab them do you get your money back?

Speaking of stabbing. I have yet to find a weapon (well other then a bat) Do they come in later missions?

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

A patch for what? Im not having any issues at all online or offline
