You can Get em to light on fire if you rear end them hard enough though.Teknoman said:

I changed my entire outfit once between dates with her. She had to methodically go through piece by piece and talk about my jacket, pants, shoes, hat, etc one by one after remarking that I had a different car again. by the time she stopped talking about my outfit we were at the destination.

Oh one other thing. In one of the earlier fights you can counter attack if they miss. How exactly do you that again? I forgot which button it was and I was practicing against random people on the street and couldn't get it to work like it did in that fight earlier. Was that scripted just for those type of fights or can you do it in any fight.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
Yeah, I love that. Tons of care went into this game.MaizeRage25 said:
Favorite moment so far: I had just gotten two stars, and grabbed a motorcycle to make a speedy getaway. While making what I thought was a clever shortcut, I plowed straight into a brick wall and went flying. It was pretty comical, and my girlfriend and I started cracking up - until Niko Bellic shouted "IT'S NOT FUCKINK FUNNY". This game is awesome.
Turismo = best car evar! Stole it from the Russian boss and have been using it ever since. Not only can it handle really well (I can drift like a mofo), but it also accelerates magnificently. I made it all the way across town with great time and not so much as a nick on the car and I was running through traffic. <3 <3 <3

Why do they make it so fucking hard to hear the god damn dialog!!! ARRRRGHHH Roman just told me I had to pick him up somewhere and could hardly hear it over the radio.. Of course I didn't have the option to turn the radio off while he was talking.
DEVELOPERS: Mix Your Fucking Dialogue So That People Can Actually Make Out What The Characters Are Saying.. You know, like they do with movies!
Or, at least give me the god damn option to turn the dialog up.

Awesome multiplayer moment:
I was playing Cops 'n Crooks with some buds and my team was crooks - me and one other guy had just about made it to the getaway boat - I was swimming over to the boat. Suddenly from out of fucking NOWHERE a car flies into me from above - it just like fell out of the sky, and killed me.
A friend of mine on the cops team was driving and had ramped it in into the water towards us as a last-ditch effort :lol :lol :lol
I lol'd so hard. The absurdity was just too much.
Also if you wanna see batshit-insane action, do Hangman's Noose with some friends. It's like straight out of HEAT.

Yeah, but you'll still need to do some sins like killing and stealing. Were you aware of that before buying the game?Akia said:

That's no fucking excuse. This game had a fucking $100 mil budget. It's not like my system's fucked up, I watch movies on the same system and never have problems hearing the dialog.Papercuts said:

Just about up to the first Vlad mission. Awesome so far. Playing on a PS3 60gb - no bugs or freezes yet, barely noticing popup while playing.
Niko is a funny fucker.
Animations are awesome. Melee is OK, shooting seems pretty decent. Autosave - YAY! No mid mission checkpoints - BOO!
Driving feels a bit different to what I expected, but I am digging it more and more as I get the hang of it - just need to mix up brake and handbrake rather than just use one or the other.
The only thing that has annoyed me so far is the fact that the vehicle camera likes to get sucked up behind the rear bumper (sorry yanks - fender) of the car making it a pain in the ass in chases. Other than that I really like the organic feel of the vehicle camera.
Luckily for chases this is all fixed by the thoroughly awesome over the hood view - there was one bit where I was chasing some guy under an overpass and it felt like an interactive French Connection chase.

How do you hail a cab? I was walking around holding down LB to no avail.
The only bug I've had so far is not getting the Unlock Taxi Ability Achievement.

O-o no, didn't you hear? The ps3 multiplayer has been dead for almost 12 hours. PSN is ok but GTA4 is forked. Sucks because I got to rank 1 already and was kicking ass last night. Hangman's noose is the best game EVER. The only problem is that no one seems to know how to play it yet. They all just shot cops until they die, but then I get the VIP to safety by fighting off the entire squad and get mad points.polyh3dron said:

I have the same issue but to be honest I often have the same issue with some movies and even occasionally a TV show although that is much more rare.

IGN has a story on it, hopefully it'll be fixed soon

Nope, all I see is "Go and rescue Roman." Nothing about the phone conversation I was straining to hear. Am I the only person that the dialog sounds like complete shit to?BobTheFork said:

I always have this issue with GTA games. I can never get the camera how I want it with the few presets they give you. I wish you could redefine a camera angle to the exact height , angle, and tilt you wanted when driving or walking around outside exteriors but I'll never get it outside of hacking a camera file on the PC version.

umm it's greyed out and already is on the "fade radio volume" option... You guys are just making excuses for something that should just work without this tinkering though.Teknoman said:

what was it? Haven't watched tv in game but if there is an adult Swim channel, it could be robot chicken, they did a Halo bit(or two) a few seasons ago.Warrior300 said:
My impressions as someone who has never liked a GTA:
The gameplay is still bad. There's little to nothing redeeming there. But the game world itself is so good that it's definitely worth playing.
And some of the stuff you can do. I tried to launch my burning ambulance(which I had stolen from a guy dispatched to help a person I had killed) over a fountain and dive off so i wouldn't be wet anymore but a cop car followed me over and tapped me just enough to make me explode. It killed me, him, and 4 or 5 bystanders, but all three of my mates who were here watching me play were in tears. And the TV stuff is terrific. Some of it gets annoying(omg omg i tooked a poly sci class look how libral i am!!) but the poker thing was amazing.
If you're like me and consider Crackdown your favourite game of all time, you'll be disappointed with how often you punch fences and just how pussy your jumping is, but oh well.
