I went to the Cabaret, it shown a bad magic act and a comedy singer lady, although Michelle commented that she didn't like the clientèle, I got a thumbs up rating for the date, so it worked for me.Uno Ill Nino said:

This game rocks hard. The atmosphere in the city is just amazing, and yes, I also got shocked due to the awesomeness that is Euphoria. I was driving down a street fast, and slammed into a car that was sitting at a red light. Crash! Every window in both of the cars smashed into tiny pieces. The car I slammed into had begun to honk its horn, but I got curious when it just didn't stop. I noticed that the woman who had been driving the car was dead, her head against the driving-wheel. I genuinely got chills out of that moment. I have never felt bad about killing a pedestrian in a GTA -game, but this really made me cringe. It just felt... So... Believable.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
Yeah, the launch here wasn't any event or anything. Walked into walmart this morning and they had tons of copies.
Oh, small college towns. Sometimes you redeem yourselves.

My coffins on the way....
Surprised by how quick and easy MS support is, I even got to talk to a women with a hot voice (Gueesing this is where that $1 billion went)
Any UK gaffers know the average turnaround time for repairing a 360?
My first 4 hours impressions:
Framerate seemed low (I think this may have been my 360 dieing though)
Apart from that, best game ever. I LOVED the shooting mechanics, I managed to get a four star wanted level near the carnival and hid behind a dumpster with a shotgun blowing up 6-7 police cars that were there with n awesome chain reaction. Then found a Turismo tried to escape then........ RRoD. :lol
Guess I'll just stare at the case until until my refurb arrives.

As nearly faultless as the single player experience is, the mp sucks big time. I'll never play it again. It's one of those games that wouldn't have needed multiplayer yet it still has it and it's just completely useless.
GTA 4 without multiplayer so far - 10
GTA 4 with mulitplayer - 8 at best, the bad taste after playing mp has ruined some single player missions for me

What modes did you play? Deathmatch is a clusterfuck. Team Deathmatch is better but not by much. Team based objective modes and the co-op vs. AI modes however are fantastic and really evoke a sense of proper online GTA.

Get him drunk.
I played DM, TDM (which was actually kind of fun in a retarded way) and TMW. What ruined it for me is that everyone is visible on the map and that DM and TDM are basically "race for the RPG" as every other weapon just doesn't cut it.
It's also very unpolished compared to the single player mode. I hit an enemy with my car at full speed, he doesn't die, stands up und blows up my car with his RPG while standing right next to it. Of course he survived and me and my teammate in the car were dead.
Headshots seem to be very unreliable. In one match I get 3 headshots with my lame pistol and in the next match it seems like I'm shooting hot air at my enemies. The only positive things about the multiplayer were the excellent performance (netcode seems to be really good) and the random chaos that would ensue sometimes (I can have plenty of that in single player though).

I spoke to Rockstar customer service 2 hours ago. He said other people have called with the problem and testers are looking at "as we speak". I asked if I should try returning my disc for another one and he said its not clear that this is a disc problem yet and I should wait "a few more hours" for some kind of official response.

This Man speaks the truth...loaded it up in 720P at first and it looked fine (few Jaggies but nothing Horrible) Then went and flipped it up to a forced 1080P omg jaggie city everywhere to the point I saved stopped the game and reloaded it back up in 720P.
Other then that so far liking the game, love the main char, and the crazy amount of detail that went into the city. Also I was surprised after seeing the online videos the car control kinda looked shit but I guess the guys playign just sucked cause they handle fine for me
Anyway back to play some more...
Quick question: is there any way to pause a fucking cinematic? Twice I've missed them cause the doorbell rang and the phone rang...holding the home button just brings up the menu and they still play in the background...that's retarded.
Also, the game is really amazing, but man the framerate is jank as FUCK. Maybe I'm just used to PC games, but this feels like its chugging along at 20fps.
So yeah, pause cinematics?

Ok after failing a mission I restarted that same mission and the voice acting failed to load during the cutscene. Has anyone else experienced this? It only happened once so it's not a big deal but I am curious.

OMG CAR WASH IS AWESOME!
Well...just came from work after totally shitty day...and what waits me in the mailbox: GTA IV!
Itching to play, I rush inside, grab come quick snacks and refreshments from the fridge, and turn the 360 and TV on. In goes the GTA...and so starts the best intro ever. But...soon...a freeze. WTF...I turn the machine off, already fearing the worst.
And...YES, FUCKING YES, IT'S THE RED RING OF DEATH...!!! FUCKING AGAIN!!!
Sorry, had to get that out of my system. Actually I am not even that pissed I thought I would be...and reading this thread I see others have also had problems..AGAIN. It's just that every time a new game comes out, it seems to kill certain 360's...so wrong.
Anyway, probably have to get a new 360 because the service queues are horrible here (Finland)...or just trade this in and get the PS3 version...
Carry on.

So, I didn't realize that when you run into a friend on the street, and do some business with them, IT DOESN'T COUNT AS A MISSION.
For some reason I'd turned Autosave off, ran into Badman on the street, went after some gangsters and he DIED!!
(Not a spoiler, as this was not mission based, but purely circumstantial.)
a) NO WAY will I let a dude who carries around HIS OWN RASTA MOTORCYCLE HELMET get plugged forever
b) Also, I fucking LOVE Badman, wagwan.
So, I redid like four missions just to keep my breda Badman alive and kicking.
I LOVE THE CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME.
YOU CAN DO IT, NIKO, YOU'RE ALPHA ENOUGH.
