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

So I'm on my 4th attempt of "The Snow Storm" and good lord...I can't get away from these friggin' cops!!!

The AI is insane on some of these chases...not only do the Cops blast away at you..but citizens decide to become the state militia and start popping away at you too.

On my 3rd attempt I went through FIVE get-away cars totaling 25 minutes of chase time....and I ended up getting gunned down in a burger shot trying to replenish the one millimeter of health I had left. I probably destroyed around 200,000 dollars worth of property, killed 30 cops and civillians and left a wake of destruction in my path...AND STILL DIDN'T BEAT THE DAMN MISSION!!!

Here goes try #4.

Lol, don't worry it took my 6 tries.

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

Got a little frustrated with Michelle today!!! She's always mad at Niko for something so I (Niko) decided to treat her like a real piece of crap today and give her a good reason to be mad

All of her BS and the iron clad lock down she's got on her kitty pushed me (Niko) over the limit man. We just broke and went postal on her ***!!!

After turning Niko down for the sixth straight date, we set our plan into action. We rang her phone non stop with great glee!! Spoke to her a few times and she ends up sending Niko a text message basically saying to backoff and that she needed some space......blah, blah, blah, FRICKIN BLAH!!!

Shortly after the "Kiss My *** Niko" message she sent, she call's him all sweet like and wants to go out Oh yeah baby, we'll go out!!!! *Sarcastic*

Niko secures himself a real fancy rust bucket, get's all banged up to the point where it's smoking real heavy and dented the **** up!!! He goes over to pick her up....hehe!! She gets in saying how nice Niko smells and he's wearing her favorite outfit but of course has to get a dig in there about his car!! Niko had a GREAT date planned for her :wink:

First stop, the CAR WASH - OH YEAH, BIG TIME FUN THERE MICHELLE!!! Then Niko took her for a joyride from hell!!! A couple police chases, a dozen or so pedestrians ushered into eternity, dead cops, a super jump, etc.....etc.... Then to cap it off, Niko takes her to the park and proceeds to tee off on few hapless souls with his trusty Louisville Slugger

This of course pushed Michelle over the edge and she found her own way home - straight up stole Niko's car and went home Didn't actually see her drive off in it but it was gone when Niko went to retrieve it....that BEYOTCH!!!

Well, that pissed me (Ahem, Niko) off even more so he set off to find himself a lovely lady of the night. His first in Liberty City, since he had originally planned to be faithfull to Michelle. Niko could only find a 200 pounder with bad hair and jelly rolls o'plenty..Yikes!!!

Niko's day was supposed to end with a bang (excuse the pun-lol) but he wasn't destined to score!!! While looking for a desolate place to do the deed, Niko pulled into the old abandoned amusement park where the minature golf course is. It was dark and Niko didn't see the rather deep pond. He got his car stuck in it and was frantically trying to get his car out by any means so he could get that one last jab at Michelle in for the day. Niko hears the hooker say, "You don't know what your'e missing!!!" as they both drown in a freaking mini golf pond

Not a good day for Niko

I seriously don't think anyone can top that story.

That's good.

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

Greatest OS post. Ever. I actually laughed out loud a couple times while reading it.


I guess it's just luck of the draw as far as clothes I've purchased and cars I've picked that clingy bitch up in, but Michelle gave it up after one date.

I think I learned in San Andreas (and in real life) you sometimes have to be really forward. The real alpha a-hole.

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

Finished the main storyline a few minutes ago and really enjoyed it, the only thing is that I felt that the variety of missions were a little stale in the last few hours and it seemed like the developers just weren't trying on some of them.

Has anyone else who has played through the game felt the opposite of some of the impressions of people here in regards to the difficulty of getting away from the cops and the overall difficulty of the game? I actually felt like it was pretty easy to get away from the cops (but fair gameplay wise compared to previous GTA's) and that the missions themselves were generally a lot easier than in previous GTA games.

Wow, already beat the game? Did you do any of the side missions or mainly just the storyline missions?

I'm not sure what exactly the side missions are and aren't basically I did missions for various people until that particular part of the storyline ended, and I also did some dating stuff. I didn't do any of the taxi missions, or races, or anything else like that. I think the completion percent was around 68-69%.

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

Is there anything special about the armored trucks?

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

Well, I'm not gonna give anything away, but on one of the last missions, I fell "into" an object I shouldn't have fallen into and most of it disappeared around me so now I'm moving blindly, lol

EDIT: That was one HELL of a graphical glitch

Do not read unless you know you're towards the end:

Spoiler

I chose to go after Dmitri on the cargo ship, well I was trying to stay in the middle of the boat on the containers so I could get some height on the enemies. Well I went to jump from one to the other and I fell "into" the boat. After wandering around for 10 minutes it all came back, so now I have some work to do

EDIT #2: Ok, I'm stuck in the boat permanently, so I think I'm gonna have to restart

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

I know its been mentioned in here before but at this point this thread has taken on a life of its own so I will ask again. How many side missions are there for Roman and Little Jacob exactly? I assume they dont go on forever and I was under the impression that there were 10 each but I wasnt sure, hopefully someone here knows.

EDIT- Well to add to this, I just finished the 10th mission for Little Jacob and nothing happened, I thought there was some sort of special ability that you would unlock once you completed all of his drop-offs?

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

There are some really annoying things in this game though, and sometimes Niko seems like a complete damn idiot. I was trying to get away from the cops, ran to a taxi to jack it and barely touched the triangle button and this idiot gets into the back of it and refuses to get out, well great job you damn moron.

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

Well, I finished the story mode. I must say, this is the most emotionally involved I've gotten in a videogame storyline, and any storyline in general, in a long time. Now I'm gonna run around the city and create massive chaos in order to handle some of those emotions.

Again, don't read unless you're really close to the end (and trust me you'll have an inkling when you are):

Spoiler

The logical guy part of me wanted to dump Kate, but for whatever reason there was like an emotional connection there. I'll admit I kinda have a tendency to go after screwed-up girls in real life, so that may have played into it. But after Jimmy P did, thousands of people of Liberty City are going to die at the hands of my wrath
