but won't them mean we're talking about gameplay , this is a strange thread lol, official GTA IV thread but don't talk about the game he he.

Nokkon has already explained this. We can talk about stuff that has been announced for the game, like in-game internet. But we cant post gameplay videos or discuss people playing a pirated copy. Its that simple.

I don't see why people just show a bit of patience and self restraint and wait a few days.

Anyone getting damn confused?

Right I'll post what I posted in one of the other ones.

What are you most looking forward to doing in GTA4? For me it has to be getting in a chopper and seeing the city from up high for the first time.

Its gotta be the free roam mode, me + my mates + the GTAalive city. Awsome.

Well i doubt we'll be seeing body parts being severed, but there will probably be blood and ragdolls i would have thought.

Unless they include cheat codes like previous gta's that allow you to shoot off limbs.

What stuff in the game that R* has officaly released info can we talk about then?

rp2000 · 24 Apr 2008 at 15:20

I think it is obvious what you can talk about and what you can't unless you have had a common sense bypass since the last thread got removed.

I am looking forward to playing online. Lining up 10 mates like skittles and running them over in the biggest car I an find. Surely everyone is going to be trying this out?

Who actually decided to delete the other thread? I want to take you off my Christmas card list and cancel your invite to my birthday party.

Talk of playing the game, not allowed. Talk of spoilers to the story, not allowed.

....... :/

So, what are you guys having for dinner tonight?

Jesus · 24 Apr 2008 at 15:21

If the mp is anything like mta:sa then it should be a great laugh

Of course he can. Don't be ridiculous.
It's quite clear what you can talk about.

Talk of playing the game, not allowed. Talk of spoilers to the story, not allowed.

Talk of features in the game and what parts of the game you're looking forward to or things that are reported to be in it are allowed.

I'm just confused about the rules set out at the beginning:

"Talking about game play is fine (after 28th)"

Surely saying "I can't wait to drive a helicopter" is gameplay?

I just want to make sure so I don't post anything I can't.

NokkonWud · 24 Apr 2008 at 15:22

I don't have any 'power' for those wondering.

What I have done is listed rules for those clearly incapable of following them in the last thread resulting in the position we were in.

What I do have is the ear of the Dons by being placed in this position by users of the forum. All I've done is list the forums rules and incorporated them to fit around Grand Theft Auto IV.

Just in case anyone was accusing me of 'tripping'.

The reason for this being some idiot always has to scream "Show bread" or "Lol pirate" and then the whole thing gets blown out of proportion.

Would have been a better decision it did have some useful information in especially in the earlier pages.

Saying 'I can't wait to drive a helicopter' is fine.
Saying 'I don't like the way the helicopter handles' isn't fine, nor is saying 'The mission where you have to kill 'x' with the RC helicopter is too short'.

Thanks Shami.

Nathan, I am sorry, but no card, and no party for you. We were going to have jelly as well. Your loss.

Use common sense, anticipation or discussion of features is fine. Discussion of pirates playing the game is obviously not.
