Grand Theft Auto IV

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I've gone back to finish this game and it's still quite the amazing feat.

It always amazes me that people can get bored and only look forward to "the next big thing" when there is so much content in this game already. Even people who have 100%... there is still so much to see that it is insane.

Well, I'll just have to say that the story was great the first time. Best GTA story and character development yet. However, I got 100% in early May and don't feel that it lasts much after that at all. I've driven around, seen enough of the people, went inside the statue of liberty, etc. My 100% save had a little more than 90 hours on it.

Maybe it's just me, but even with the living city being far better than anything else, the game was still bone dry after you beat it 100%...especially in comparison to San Andreas.

What about online play? This is one of the most fun games I've played on live.

Yeah, a lot of people have been saying this. I'm not sure I understand. I don't really remember San Andreas having this mind-blowing replay value everyone else seems to mention. I played IV just as much as I played SA. Maybe I just missed a bunch of stuff in SA or something. Care to elaborate any further?

I agree, the game is never ending. One of the best stories of a game this year for me, and loved playing through every second of it.

Once you do everything, what else is there? Driving over and shooting random people?

Yes, once you beat it you can play GTA.

That's the thing... how do you know what exactly is "everything?"

A lot of people think the storyline is "everything." Others think the side missions and 100% is "everything."

There are so many little touches... I mean seriously... who has spent all their time reading all the websites available to you? That alone takes hours. Then there is the TV. Random stranger missions... A ridiculous amount of content in the game.

Ya'll ever notice when you catch a ride in a taxi and depending on what song is playing on the radio, the taxi driver bobs his head back and forth.

Had Flashing Lights playing and me and the cab driver were jammin in the car lol.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

After you beat the game is there anything besides the Assassinations, are there any other "missions" that are given to you by anyone?

Like any other name or blip on the map that you can go to?

There are about a dozen characters you can run into on the map that will give you 1 or 2 short missions each. Some will be out only at certain times. They appear as littile person shaped icons on the map if you get near to them.
There are also the text message cars for Steve and the package runs for Jacob.
And you can get a cop car to find and hunt down Liberty's most wanted or just stop random crimes.

Amazon has it $49 new, $35 used.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Thanks for the heads up, $49 sounds good for a brand new copy.
