I gave up trying to understand Lil Jacob, and put subtitles on (which helps A LOT when everyone is speaking).

I messed with the contrast setting and it helped a ton.

Cool,thanks alot for the tip. I'll go in the games settings tonight and up the contrast a couple of notches.

Hit 3 20's in a row on the triple score bar. Got it the very first time I even threw the darts

Thanks.

Just curious about the 100% completion...what old "R-Stick" missions are out? Are ambulance, firefighter, and taxi cab missions all out? I've only seen where you can hunt down vigilantes on the computer in a cop car.

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

I can't understand what Little Jacob says either. The first mission, I was in complete awe at the lack of my comprehending of his dialogue. Then when Neko made a comment to Roman about it, he said you would understand him better as the game progresses. On the next mission where you have to trail the drug dealer, I had no idea what Jacob's buddy was saying, but I understood some of Jacob's dialogue. I think the accent wears off during the course of the game in order to make you feel like Neko is fitting in more?

Anyway, anybody have any tips for getting 180 w/ 3 darts and 3 strikes in a row for those two achievements? I can't get a strike to save my life and I only hit 50s with the darts.

When you turn subtitles on, you still won't understand Jacob. The words look like "O tink Niko mah man nah come through me money, he catch bloodclot, seen?"


And in bowling, you have to put curve on the ball. To do that, you can start to the left, aim the ball kind of to the right, then when it gets to those arrows in the lane(or before, I can't remember what the instructions say), move the stick into the opposite direction. I tink dats how me did it, me nah bowl that much mon, bad wreest from mastabating too much, ye kno?

Has anybody been to see Katt Williams at Split Sides?

You can tell he wasn't trying to go all out and burn material he could use somewhere else but the man is still funny...I won't even put anything in spoiler tags cuz I don't want to ruin it for people who can't say no to temptation.

I understood him just fine (with the subtitles on I mean). Maybe you just don't understand the slang.

I'm playing the censored Aussie version and was wondering what happens in the US version when you go in with Michelle? In our version it just shows a shot of the outside of the building and you can hear some "noises" etc coming from inside. Is it the same for you guys?

Loving this game by the way and i have yet to even try out the online component....

Same thing happens here (i'm in Canada)

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

Thanks SPTO....

From what i can make the only thing that is censored in our version is the specific scenes with the prostitutes. In our version the camera pans down to the back bumper of the car and you can hear the noises but you can't see what's happening like i have seen on the "girls of liberty city" feature on IGN.

It's so stupid that you can sell drugs, shoot a random person in the face and beat someone to death with a baseball bat and they are fine with it but they have some simulated sexual references and our censorship board goes ape****. We need to catch up with the rest of the developed world and have an R18 rating for video games.

Are these pigeons easily spotted? Like if I were to go "hunting" with a sniper rifle off the roof of a building, can they be seen or whats the deal?

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

Off topic, but I dont if anyone knows but, every GTA cover since GTA III has had something to deal with a helicopter, in the same spot in the top left corner. Click here and scroll over the name and the cover will pop up. Not that its important or anything. Maybe people already noticed this but IDK. LOL

Nah I'm making fun of him, I generally get the just of what point he's trying to get across.

Did anyone see if you steal a Police Car, you can access the police computer and get a bunch of information on criminals. You can also access the "Crime in Progress" portion and then respoind to the different crimes?

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

I seriously wish I could do a certain mission over again after beating it.

Three Leaf Clover was so fun.

bowling is easy once you get the routine down. Move left two steps, then pull back the stick and count to one and push it up quick. No aftertouch or anything. You'll have enough speed to knock them all down, but not too much to blow right through them.

I bowled a perfect game on a date with Michelle doing it that way. Didn't even know getting certain amount of strikes in a row was an achievement.
