*** Grand Theft Auto IV - In-Game Chat [Spoilers] ***

Does it have anything to do with your NAT settings. I had problems like this with other games, and I found that opening the ports to make the NAT status as open helped.
 
Things to do in Liberty City *Possible Spoilers*

Thought it would be good to have a thread for any 'little extras' you find in GTA IV. Rockstar always put so much into the games and a lot of it you don't even realise you can do unless you stumble across it.

Did you know?
  • You can watch TV in your apartment? Really funny stuff on there too, like the space amrines style cartoon :D
  • You can whistle a cab? Just press L1 while looking at a cab to whistle it and then press and hold triangle to get in and select destination.
  • You can get to the airport really quickly by using your mobile phone to select 'SIXASIS tutorial' and then quit to be standing outside Francis International (PS3 version only).
  • No hidden packages in GTA IV, but you do have Flying Rats (Pigeons) and there are 200 to collect :eek:
  • You can visit a comedy club? Once you have unlocked the middle island Algonquin, just drop by the comedy club in Star Square to watch some great standup. There's quite a few different routines so keep popping back for more.

Anyone got any more little gems?
 
Obviously worth pointing out when you use a cab, its a lot quicker getting about as you can instantly jump to where you want to go by paying more, i use this quite often.

If you steal a cop car you can call for backup by using the computer :)
 
What % is everyone at now? Im at 54ish%.

I really liked the mission where you sabotage the prisoner under the tunnel. I ended up getting trapped in the tunnel and had a massive fire fight with the police, FBI etc! Took me ages to fight out of it.

Too many thread ffs. Delete this crap and stick it in the spoilers thread.

GTA thread
Live thread
PSN thread
Spoilers thread

Plus no-one will find stuff. idiots will look for the easter eggs on the internet and post here. Much prefer for people to find i out themselves, rather than ppl reading guides and passing it off as their own finds.

More than enough.

It's still sat in its box, and i'm at work. Just nipped over to Clifton Moor to pick it up - a certain store that you should "come to" had 4 left for xbox 360. :)
 
One thing i noticed on the game is that Niko's stubble is getting darker!!!

And when i went into an expensive clothes shop the women shouted to me "you need to shave Mr"

Can i shave? i havent seen anything on the map/legend!

But i have seen a screenshot of Niko with a shorter grade of hair... still the same style but shorter!

GTA4-PS3-Poor Gfx In Places

Is it just me or is it very poor in places. Very fuzzy headache inducing gfx, terrible lack of AA issues and blurry low quality textures + some poor shadow glitches. This is all especially noticeable on a large HDTV.

Good game (although just more of the same GTA style gameplay just on a larger scale) but really shoddy gfx. Rockstar should have spent more time on it but I suppose this generation of consoles just cannot yet do AA properly.

Shudder to think how bad the 360 AA must be if the PS3 is supposed to have less noticeable AA!!

Also found a serious glitch. If you try to install the game and your PS3 has not logged into the PSN it will hang after a few minutes and you have to turn off and back on and start again otherwise it just locks up.

None of the reviews have mentioned these issues so who do you trust in future.

No way this game is a 10/10 the gfx to me are nowhere near what the hype would have you believe. Scale of the game is however impressive and it will take months to play but at best this is a 8/10 for gameplay if you can ignore the graphical issues.
 
I'm on with the mission with the Jamaican guy atm, one of the first few missions. Anyone else having trouble understanding what he's saying? :p
