what the fuck?!! you can pick up dropped coffee cups? LMAO how?
So I was doing the
mission and I decided to run all the way to the location. On the way I watched a guy pull out his phone and start texting. He also said 'fuck.' I thought it was pretty rude but I figured "Whatever" until I rounded the corner and saw a brick. Picked it up and ran back, pitching it, and sending that guy to the ground. Before he could even get back on his feet I was punching the shit out of him.
So fun.
Awesome, Awesome. Awesome. Awesome,

Oh, and the cab system in this game is brilliant.
You save so much time and it is so little cash (or free).
I think in some ways the game
how can you tell who is a hooker or not? I beeped at some skanky looking woman and didn't didn't run to my car.

I think in some ways the game
made money less important than it was in prior GTA games. I have $30 thousand or so with nothing to spend it on. I went and bought several outfits and once in a while buy body armor, but in general it is never a worry. At least so far it isnt.

They nailed the cab view. I almost shed a tear.

This game is so fucking awesome. The definitive game of the Next-Gen. Everything just blows my mind, and the fact that you get so much content for $60 is amazing. It does deserve all these 10's its getting.

Car handling doesn't improve in-game, only your personal skills will be enhanced.
For tips? Start breaking about 3 seconds before you think you should.

I noticed this too on 360-- does GTA4 have any feedback whatsoever? I have yet to experience it.

Thanks.
Strangely enough, the NTSC-Japan version seems compatible with PAL though. Can anyone confirm this: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dw-49-en-70-2hcw.html

Just realize that your car has weight to it and that you can't go from 100 to 1 right away. Slow down before making turns, use the break when making turns, rarely if ever use the handbreak, don't gun it and expect to break anytime soon.
I actually really like how the cars drive now for the most part.

I think they specifically slowed down the driving a lot compared to the older GTA games, so I'd recommend taking it a lot slower than what you're probably used to. Try to avoid braking/accelerating while turning and learn to use the handbrake in conjunction with the footbrake. I'm still learning myself, but you'll definitely start to get a feel for it as you spend more time with the game.

It's the little things that make it better. The small enhancements that make things a little easier on the player. I just played multiplayer for the first time too. Pretty fun.

Well, I tried playing again after leaving it paused while posting earlier and it played fine for a while, but then the pausing started up again and became really bad when I had to chase after Darden and I just had to shut it off.
Looks like this one's getting sold or traded away. Fuck.

Does your car actually get dirty? I haven't noticed.
But then, maybe it's because I haven't really wanted to drive the cars I "own" (an AE86 Levin wannabe, and a Viper wannabe) for fear of losing them and cars I steal don't last very long anyway.
I thought I was soooo over GTA and then this morning I cracked and jumped in.
I'm so glad I did!
The scope and scale of this next-gen Liberty City is so gob-smackingly beautiful and amazing. I can only wonder how Rockstar fit all this gaming goodness on one DVD.
I'm enjoying this GTA more than any before it. The missions are fun, the car chases exciting, the crashes entertaining. The story and writing AMAZING. Dating Michelle and taking her bowling and to play darts has been a hoot, too.
I have the 360 version and no performance issues at all. It's just been a great time so far.
And my Friends list?
GTA IV
GTA IV

The characters in GTA4 are really awesome. I already like Nico more than any character from previous GTA games. I do think he is a prick compared to Roman. Roman is awesome. Little Jacob is also awesome. Only characters I hate right now are
Manny and Elizabeth.

Walk buy em (or cameras or bricks or whatever object you can make people drop) and press L1. It doesnt have an item indicator, but they each have a certain weight applied to them.
Dot someone with a cup then compare the effect of a camera to their head :lol

there are numbers you can call other than 911?
I tried dialing a number for a car I found on a website and it didn't work.

Mine does that too.. only not every 30 seconds as you describe. Seems to happen randomly.... maybe once every 20 minutes.

dedhead54 said:
Seriously? Did you call during the song, because it sends me the messages. I should have quite a few once the Social Club goes back up.
Oh and alot of the numbers in game...for some reason...dont work on the phone. Whats up with that Rockstar? I want my 10pc Samurai Sword collection!

GTA4 does the same thing past GTA games did where when you drive around in an expensive car, similar models will suddenly show up, even if you are the broke ass parts of Liberty City. Still, I do keep one Porche at my current hideout that I will only use for
racing missions.

I swear bowling is pure chance... strikes are just happenstance.

One of my favourite moments so far was during the initial cutscene for one of Little Jacob's missions
Also
It's the mission where you have to follow/chase after the dealer and then kill him and his supplier in their apartment. Nico's facial expressions while the Jamaican guy was talking in the opening dialogue were just priceless :lol :lol It's a moment you couldn't have in previous GTA games so it really stood out for me.
Also
The first execution :O :O :O
