Here we go ......

Does any-one know if this game goes all the way to 100% to complete it? Unlike the last one which was around 60% (main storyline).

 

[RichieM]

oh and Bruce Kronenberg is the only "real" Niko Bellic as he provided the voice (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0472152/)

You can complete it to around 60%, then you do the extra's for 100%.

Cool, he worked on Max Payne and GTA 2 as well

I always think Niko looks like Jase from Eastenders:

The main thing i find annoying how dark it can get in alleys etc, even on game brightness on highest and tv up to 90%

Never had a problem with brightness (game settings at default) although I do always play in a darkened room.

Hands up who thinks the pool physics are rubbish, the amount of straight shots that have jumped out the pocket, rattled around the jaws or missed completely is down right ridiculous.

Can't remember. I remember it being hard, but I only played it to get the achievement for beating your friend.

 

[Shamikebab]

I think pool is brilliant personally, didn't expect spin or anything like that.

Re graphics glitches...

On a couple of occasions when starting the game, my monitor has blanked for a few seconds then the picture comes back. Only seems to happen at night. PS3 linked to monitor by HDMI > DVI cable so possibly a HDCP issue though it's only started doing it in the last couple of days and I've been playing since it came out.

Progress wise about 21% in...

 

[NokkonWud]

Yeah, the physics playing pool are totally wrong, but what were you expecting?!

I'm 74.85% done now, so almost 3/4's .

 

[james.miller]

i spent a good hour or so just playing the pool lol

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

i spent a good hour or so just playing the pool lol

Yeh i love just chilling out playing the mini games or at split sides.

 

[Surfer]

some good little side missions too!

? soo uhh how do you tell which is a side mission and which is main story mission?

all you get is name of person e.g. Roman, Vlad, Faustin etc so are they side or main missions?

and im already at 33% and the main story ends on 60%?

 

[NokkonWud]
