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

    Whats the best way to get a good free roam game online? Usually when I do quick match and then free roam there are only a couple other people in there...do I need to set up my own and wait for others to join or something?

    edit: OK I tried to start my own but it didn't let me choose settings like cops on or off and pedestrian traffic. And I have played a few games where the humans can't kill each other for some reason. And there were still only a few people.

      I bumped into one of the "secret characters" last night and it was a rapper called pharos or phatom or something like that:

          It ain't that bad, just make sure you have armor.

          I got it on the 2nd try since the first I got totally lost in the maze fun house.

          After you pick it up, go back to that big room and hall *** and as soon as you get outside, run into a car.

            This is a statement to live by in this game, especially with the more difficult missions. If at first you don't succeed, buy armor.

              Yep. Every time I finish a mission, first thing I do always is call Jacob up and re-up on the armor.

                Anyone else mildly annoyed with the fact that the girls aren't very hot? Not face-wise, but how they dress and act? I mean, Kate? She doesn't put out, first of all, and second, what is she wearing? A sweatshirt and jeans? Carmen's not much better, and even Kiki, who's easily the hottest, isn't exactly "take her to The Triangle" material. The chicks should be dimes, not 6's.

                A similar problem, I think, is with the guy-friends. Does anyone think Niko would actually hang out with Brucie or Packie? Roman is pretty much the only "realistic" friend of the bunch - maybe Jacob, but I can't understand a word he says anyway, so he's just as bad.

                In sum: memo to R*: hotter chicks, cooler guy-friends, please.

                    lots of people complained about the RPG elements of san andreas making it too hard or complicated. You could work out or get massively obese, you also had to learn how to drive, fly planes, and fight better. Gun skills also improved as you used each one more. What a concept that a normal guy would have to learn the skills that CJ uses in the game, and I loved it. But hey, most actions movies already have the star as a former military special ops trained soldier, so people get lazy with wanting the buildup.

                    I suppose Rockstar went more conservative on something for once since none of that made it in. All of niko's amazing feats are often credited to his "red army training".

                      Man I really only have one complaint about this game and thats having no "checkpoint" to restart a mission from.....especially ones that are long and drawn out....very frustrating sometimes....but I cant really say anything else bad about this game..

                      Man it took me 45 mins and 15 tries to beat the...........

                          Is there a camera in this game like in San Andreas?
                          Im on the bleed out mission, and havent seen a camera yet.
                          I kinda liked finding those rare shots to take with a camera that got you points in San Andreas.

                              you do get a camera, but there's none of the photo token things like in san andreas. Kind of sucks considering how nice the city looks.
