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

There is a place in Alderey City that isn't marked on the map. I took Dwayne there once - cost like 100 bucks.

Calcutta, does the parking spot look like your normal one with the yellow outline? I was just thinking today that the game needed more parking for your cars because 8 spots just isn't enough. Does it still save your cars at your first safehouse?

Anyone feel bad for Dwayne?

Spoiler

I don't chill with him for a while and he sends me a text saying I should have just popped him instead of Playboy. I was like damn.

Dwayne is definitely depressing, but I like to keep him above 80% so he doesn't bother me.

Anybody driven an Infernus yet? I got one from a friend and its definitely sweet.

I don't think anyone likes the Superstar Cafe. Every date I take there complains about it (even Carmen!), I think it's best to steer clear of that place.

Brucie loves to get drunk, play pool, go see strippers, or if you have the options for him already:

Spoiler

go boating or on a helicopter ride

Best thing to do with friends is to wait and see where they want to go when they call you, gives you a better idea of what they like to do.

All of those options are open to me and Ive tried them all, they do some good but not enough to overcome the one missed "date". Whats weird is, it seems like the game is designed to force Brucie to not like me after Ive unlocked his ability, every single time I call him he is always on the other side of the map, I get there late and then basically make up what I lost on the "date" and never actually gain ground. Ive tried going to the first island and then calling him to be closer and then suddenly he is on the third island, Ive tried staying in the middle and then he is at the opposite end of another island, its impossible at times. Ohh well, I have already unlocked his ability and once I finish the races I might be done with him for good.

Call Roman's Car Service first or stand in front of a Taxi so it can't drive away, then call Brucie to see if he wants to hang out. That way you're not late - then just grab some wheels. If you take Brucie out to eat, take me to the third island to Mr. Fuk's Rice Box or whatever its called, he loves it there.

Well I just beat the game and I must say, it was pretty damn satisfying. The storyline was amazing! I must say Liberty City looks awesome and it was great seeing the in game city compared to the real life city (as I am currently living in New York for business). They definitely nailed some spots on the head.

BTW, Major Spoilers here. Don't read unless you beat the game!

Spoiler

Did you guys choose to make a deal or revenge with Dimitri. I went the revenge route as I wanted to rip Dimitri's head off. BTW, I'm glad I did, and it is unfortunate that Kate died, but I never even took her out on a date! So it didn't bother me that much. Apparently if you go for the deal, Roman ends up dying and I couldn't have that, I need his free cab rides!

Anyways, the final mission with Pegorino was pretty awesome. Took me two tries thankfully. Awesome awesome storyline, and I'm glad I could just relax now and finish up all the side missions, hopefully getting 100%!

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

It's funny how you can walk into a burger joint and it costs you $1 and then you go there on a "man date" with Jacob and it cost's you $100 for the same thing. Now i know Jacob probably has the munchies pretty bad but that is a lot of fricken burgers!!!

I will look for that place, it isnt on my map labeled so Im not sure where thats at but I will look for it. Good idea about the taxi, I was only concerned that once I got there he would complain that I didnt have a ride, but I can always jack one right there and then take him, thanks for the tip.

EDIT- Nvrmnd, found it on the map that came with the game, thanks again.

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

If you aren't REALLY far into the game...don't read this....

Spoiler

F**K THIS FINAL MISSION AFTER THE WEDDING!!!! I chose revenge and now I'm going after Pegorino. This last mission is freaking IMPOSSIBLE! I've spent 4 freaking hours trying to beat it and finally threw the controller down in a fit of rage. I can get into the Helicopter but I always get shot down by the 500000 anti-aircraft rockets Pegorino fires at you.

Way too much stuff to do in this one. For the love of god Rockstar, put some freaking CHECKPOINTS in your missions.

also don't read unless you have beat the game..

Spoiler

Well that mission swaps out dimitri for peggorino, so it's the same mission regardless of which way you chose the final decision. I only failed it once because I couldn't catch up to Jacob's helicopter the first time. The 2nd time I beat it. Besides being long with driving and various stages, it's almost too easy. I guess you haven't flown a helicopter much in the game if you're having trouble avoiding an RPG. I just kept above their helicopter, and to the left. The rockets have a harder time of hitting you. Then there a scripted bit where both get shot down. After that you'll still have some guys to kill on happiness island.

I can see why people want checkpoints, but I never had any problem with the missions. I can probably say I never played a mission more than 4 or 5 times.

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

anyone get all the pigeons yet?

I liked the hidden packages better. At least then, you didn't attract the police attention every damn time you got one. At least let me kill it with a knife or something. Not only do I have to look up on the internet how to find them, but I also have to shoot them, always making the police come.

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

When do I meet the chick you see in all the ads and the intro of the game? the chick in the red top w\ the lollipop?

Am I very far along? I just met Bernie....

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

Yeah, I found all the pigeons the other day, its more of a pain then it is difficult, but I know exactly what you are saying about the cops always coming after you when you shoot one. Im currently doing the "I'll Take Her..." mission and I have a question for anyone who has passed it....

Spoiler

How in the hell do you get her to stop screwing with the steering wheel? I dont get how a hired killer cant control a damn woman in the car, hell, punch her in the face and put her to sleep already. Twice I have tried this one and twice she has figured out a way to flip the damn car on the bridge, which ends it for me and there isnt anything I can do about it. This is becoming the most irritating mission so far by a long shot.

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

so I just got the game and just started it, won't have much time to sit down and it play it until maybe Tues. or Wed. but I have some questions.

Is there a place that has a list of which songs play on certain radio stations?

When do I get weapons?

Is it like other GTAs where the more I run with the character, the more running stamina he accumulates?
