Why are all breasts censored? I don't really care that much, but it makes no sense since the prostitutes are so graphic and there's a shit ton of violence and cursing. Even the porno at that porn shop was censored. :lol Breasts are evil!

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 fast seasons ago.

It's crazy, they even got these parody on Ring Tones. lol Just flick through the channels, be patient though, because I went passed it, and then I couldn't find it for a while.

IT's AWESOME though.
 
Is there any way to make a private player match on the 360 version? I'd like to goof around like you can in the party lobby but with the rating system on.

Whenever I try to create a player match it sticks my party with a bunch of other players.

Roman called me up to go bowling, so I picked him up in a helicopter and gave him a tour of the city at night. Beautiful stuff seeing all those lights down below.

The atmosphere in this game is so incredible...God only knows how amazing Vice City and San Andreas will be with this engine.

Its adult swim esque. Its like someone took HALO, Squidbillies, ATHF, and mixed Rockstar humor, then put it in a TV in a game.

Also what channel is Katt W. on TV? I've only heard em once on the radio and that was funny (midnight launch as soon as I got back).

Pretty damn amazing since they might be brought into modern times. Hell they may even do a new parody city.

Also the gunplay has been nailed for future GTA games. Free aim, amazingly jarring sound effects, and great muzzle flash lighting/physical impact.

Are they remaking them? Or is this just hopefulness?

ok I have to see that, I love adult Swim. I played the single player all day. I really don't want to play again until the multiplayer is back up.
 
The customization options are pretty disappointing. There are 2 hats, 2 pairs of sunglasses and a fairly standard array of clothing. Saints Row had better clothing and much better accessories.

Pity. Well, hopefully. I'd really like to play them and I'm thinking that now I probably could.

I'm pretty sure they have unlockables.

there's more clothes shops and options as you open up more of the game.

Oh, really? I hope so, but i'm over half way through and theres not much to choose from. Perseus, Modo, and the Russian Shop.

Oops, I thought you were talking about multiplayer.

You really don't think Rockstar will revisit Vice City or San Andreas? Remember, prior to GTAIV being revealed, everyone was guessing stuff like Europe or South America, and instead they redo Liberty City.

Has anyone found any weapon/armor pickups lying around in the world? It just occurred to me that I haven't come across a single one yet.

What do you guys think of the soundtrack so far?

I'm pretty disappointed by Electro Choc and there is no good metal, but the old rock stuff is awesome and the commercials are great. Talk radio that I've heard so far is kinda meh. I hope they have more than just liberal stuff on there.

Still hoping for something else, frankly, since it'll be great to get a fresh location for the next game, rather than Vice City. The Europe, South America, Tokyo locations would be fun to romp around in.

A simple yes or no would be sweet: can you customize your cars like in San Andreas? (sucks if not)

Good game so far, but I miss some of the options from the previous game.

I found a shotgun in the strip club. That's about it for me so far. (besides the pistol and knife you get from playing normal missions)
 
if you want to stock up on weapons and ammo early, shoot up the first hospital and run into the hallway in the back (by the intensive care unit). You can literally hold out back there against the wall forever as the cops never venture down the hallway more than 3 at a time, and even when the SWAT team comes in they are easy head shot kills with the pistol. Just run out and collect the pistol, shotgun and M4 ammo when the coast is clear until you feel like you have enough.
 
Jizz JIZZ JIZZZ ALL OVER THE BLACK BOX.

Oh my god, this has to be the best game I have played this generation, it has everything you want and some more.

I love Roman, I just hope they don't kill him off later on. cross fingers.

I LOVE THIS GAME.

sleep for 5 hours, wake up, play for 4 more.

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.

Seriously though, I can't get enough of GTA4, I am slightly annoyed at myself that I didn't book the week off, rather than just yesterday, cause work is going to be so so dull now.

How do you win in darts?


The first one that gets to 0 wins. But u have to end the game by throwing "a double".

f.e. I have 7 points left to finish. I throw one dart in the 1 point area. and the second dart in the "double 3".

You have to finish with a double "something" or it won't count.

I hope this helps a bit.

Dude, it's the easiest incarnation of darts EVER. If you can't beat the computer then :lol I don't even know how to advise you. Put the target on the area, and press A.

You need to subtract the total score, and the last dart needs to be a double(the outer circle is the number x 2, need to finish there) so make sure you have the math right or the turn is wasted.

Eh I like it and its growing on me. Im a fan of all the stations except the reggeaton one. And i'll probably only listen to that when the situation calls for it. I've still got to listen to all the stations though. Whenever one of the "trailer tracks' comes on though, I have to listen to it.

Where do I access the internet? I've played for about 6 hours and haven't ran into yet.

Internet cafes. I'm not sure if you get directed to one via a later mission, but I found the first one by looking at the enclosed (paper) map. I suggest you do the same.

Wow, occasionally the visuals are incredible.

The city looks best during the day when it's cloudy but hasn't started to rain. Rain looks great too, but the scale of the city is the single most impressive aspect imo

I think i'll do that.
 
OMG, I've been playing this game nonstop since I got it (minus some sleep and errands). Brucie is such an awesome character.

Oh, and the fact that some of the DJ's were taken directly from Hot 97 makes this feel even more like NYC - I'm driving through Queens, listening to Bobby Konders "big up! big up!" complete with air horn sound effects!! love it.

The more I play the game, the more I like it.
 
Man this is annoying, I keep getting multiplayer invites but when i check my cellphone and try the multiplayer option, i get the 'cannot connect to server' error. Funny how invites can go through, but i cant do a damn thing with them :(
Hopefully that'll be fixed tomorrow.

Seems more like retarded lets make fun of the republicans crap that fills the game than a halo parody. Wish they would have left all of that out of the game. I hear enough of this bullshit in college and don't need it in my games.

is the story shorter than the average gta story or something? I've barely done anything in the game. I've mostly been doing exploring, and I've done only 7 measly missions with 8 hours on the clock and I'm already at 6.13%. wtf? If this were any other 3d GTA it'd be around 2%

As far as I can tell, it's not. I just unlocked the third island and I've done missions for about 15 people now. I'm on 40%.

There's plenty of making fun of liberals too on the Radio Free America parody station, go get a tissue.
