*** Grand Theft Auto IV - The Official Thread ***

What a night.

Called up Supermarket to find out how much they had in stock, 50 on each platform so she said.

Better be safe than sorry, so i turned up at 9.45. No queue, so i went for a McD's. Returned at 10.45 and a couple of people were starting to form a line, so i jumped in, glad i did when i got there.

At 11.30 there were around 50 people waiting, and by 11.45 there were probably close to 100. The tannoy came on, and the guy said it was first come first served, and it was 20 PS3 copies, and 25 360 copies. They would be handed out 1 per customer and i was far enough ahead in the line to get a copy, been playing it tonight since i got in from work, pretty impressed :)
 
Burnout Paradise. I am hardly being pedantic so have a :rolleyes: right back.

I just don't understand why anyone would get GTA IV just to drive around a city.

:D Haven't played BOP so can't comment. Cruising round the city, just getting a feel for the game, nout wrong with that, especially as its set in the GTA universe with GTA rules. Pilling a big rig into a stream of cars which in turn bounce into the peds is great fun.

The Corvette is a beast of a car too and handles much better than the generic ones. I have also been trying to find these frame rate, popup and aliasing issues that people have been harping on about but not come across any yet.
 
I am about 15% in and tbh it seems that there isn't much else to do besides the story? In GTA3/VC & SA there where secret packages, jumps, etc etc, but none of that is really jumping out in IV. Is there more to it?


I see what you mean. Are there no taxi missions, vigilante missions, etc? That's one thing I quite liked about Saints Row - drug escort missions, ho recruitment missions, hitman, carjacking, etc.
 
i noticed a little green man on the map earlier but i carried on with a mission and ive missed it
will it appear again
 
Only played a tiny bit of online with a friend so far, its great fun! We ended up having a dog fight in the helicopters. Can't really play anymore tonight as I need to finish my dissertation proposal.
