Guys I need help with a question answered:

How do you keep a car in this game? I had a corvette and they are fucking amazzzing in this game. But then I had to do a mission for someone where they wanted me to use their car because it had what I needed to deliver in it. So I did what I thought was the smart thing and made a custom way point back to where I started. Well after the mission I go back and my car isn't there anymore?

How do you keep cars?

Park them outside of your safehouse in the yellow parking area.

There's a "Reserved Parking" space in front of the first safehouse. Anything you park there will be saved. (It's not right in front of the door, it's painted in yellow on the pavement).

"Yes, but fine, Ben. Exactly how good friends are you with Jacob?"

I don't know...ask my GamerCard...

YYYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Wagwan, breda.

The best thing about hanging out with Jacob is that he actually reacts to the Tuff Gong station if you play it in the car with him.

THIS GAME IS ALIVE AND DANGEROUS.

IT IS SKYNET 1.0.

In front of your safehouse you'll see a yellow rectangle. Park your car(s) there.

How do I call 911? I press up 2 times to get to the dialing but I don't know how to make the call itself.

 

[McLovin]

I love this game so fucking much.. its not even funny.

 

[satriales]

So what do you do to shake 3 stars then? Pray?

I accidently found a place where the police couldn't get me even with a 6-star wanted level (useful for anyone trying to get that achievement). I've only done it once so there's a chance it doesn't work all the time but this is what I did:

Spoiler

I drove a car onto the train tracks in the first island and headed west over the bridge. As I hadn't unlocked the 2nd island at that time I got 6 wanted stars and instantly could hear helicopters and police around me, but I carried on driving along the tracks and reached a tunnel. That is it, I carried on for a bit and could still hear the choppers and police but soon realised nothing was hurting me, it seems the police can't get in that part of the subway. I kept on driving just to see where the tunnel led and went past 3 or 4 stations without any bother. I managed to even get outside the police radius but as I hadn't unlocked that 2nd Island yet it refocused on me instead of disapearing (I think it was because I hadn't unlocked the island, maybe you just can't get rid of a 6-star wanted level?).

 

[Tokubetsu]

I don't understand why people hate the cars so much.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Just spent my first 2 hours with it. I'm not blown away by it graphically, it must have gotten pefect 10's based on technical merits instead of eye candy. Its definitely Grand Theft Auto. I haven't had any HOLY SHIT !! moments yet with the game. Mostly just a nice warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling that its good to be playing a new GTA.

Same actually. After my initial rush and playing more today I actually think I kinda like San Andreas a bit more honestly. Although I'm still fairly early in the game and it is still very very enjoyable.

 

[Creamium]

How do I call 911? I press up 2 times to get to the dialing but I don't know how to make the call itself.

press the 9 and 1 buttons on your gamepad. If you don't have one of those, select the numbers with the d pad once you have the keypad up

 

[Powerslave]

This game needs a cellphone extension. This wouldn't be a problem if the game had come out on the Wii!!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Just wait until things get worse. It becomes the most vivdly captivating game I've ever played.

It's like completely heartbreaking and I've only gotten to 20% Complete.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN NEXT?

Just like on a real phone. Dial the number then press in on the call icon.

Also this game is so much better than any of the past GTA's its not even funny. Gameplay and story/ character wise anyway.

 

[G-Bus]

Yea, I dial 911, it shows the numbers on the cell phone screen, but thats it. He doesn't actually make the call

edit -

:lol D'OH

You have to press the green phone icon to make the call

[IcebergSlim3000]

What the hell I cant even join a game now. Ever time I try to join a game I get a disconnect error. So far this online is joke. I thought MS was going to have all this shit sorted out.

 

[Raide]

I don't understand why people hate the cars so much.

This time around you actually have to drive them. The physics really has changed how they all handle and I am not sure people have got used to it from the previous GTA games. :lol

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I haven't had one problem with it yet. Check your NAT.

I haven't gotten into a game at all.

and NAT is fine, every other goddamn game works.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I haven't had any issues in that regard either although I do have issues with the online menu structure and lack of information.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Is rockstar social club working for anyone else? All my zit hits aren't loading and when i hit the 360 gamertag thing it just says unkown error.

 

[IcebergSlim3000]

Theres nothing wrong with my settings. It worked perfectly fine the night I brought it home. Ever sence then its been a complete bust. I cant join rooms. When I do join every one gets kicked out. Also when I join there wont be any sound effects which means everyone is about to drop.

 

[jet1911]

I drive with the camera on the hood and I think it's great. I love the taxi missions from Roman.

Pretty much nailed most of my feelings. Maybe I saw too much before. Or the uncanny valley. But I'm not drooling, like I did with Vice City, III and SA.

But my OMGWTF moments came from the songs on Classic and Hot 97 (I know that's not the name but when they talk about rappers getting shot outside the studio, you know the deal). Fuckin classic songs on classic. Stuff I wouldn't have expected but totally love. Did I hear Jeru the Damaja? Fricken 'Top Billin'? Holy shit, that station, for old school hip hop fans, is a wet dream. Hell, hearing Faith on Hot 97 just hit the right note for me. Unexpected but completely welcomed. Other than that, I'm pleased. Very good show, Rockstar.

 

[Sylar]

My "holy shit" moment has been riding the motorcycle, hitting a car and flying into the air, but hitting one of the beams above me from the bridge, instead of just flying through it like in past GTA's. :lol

I laughed.

I don't usually laugh at games. I might smile and say to myself "Heh. Clever."

I laugh playing this game.

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah, all it takes is a day or so to get used to em. Either that or go play Gran Turismo or Forza (or even PGR) then come back to drive in GTA.

 

[BobFromPikeCreek]

:lol Mavado songs make me laugh. All I can decipher while playing pool is "Liberty City" and "russian mafia" over and over.

 

[Future PhaZe]

:lol

God this game is amazing. I'm going to be late picking my brother up from school because I've been caught up watching the fucking TV in GTA with some hilarious alien/soldier bullshit

 

[Stoney Mason]

I laughed.

I always get more laughs from GTA games than pretty much any other game and just not the radio bits. The game always has a sense of awareness and satire about itself that is always charming. I even smiled with the warm coffee achievement. That's just them perfectly in a nutshell and why something like Saints Row is pretty much completelty unenjoyable for me in that regard.

Yeah im gonna agree on that. Saints Row wasnt bad as a game at all, but it wasnt funny at all...and it was trying to be...trying too hard.

Things arent funny if people beat you over the head with em.

 

[proposition]

I just realised that Karl Lagerfeld is the presenter on K109. Nice.

 

[Teknoman]

Is voice chat open on GTA IV?

 

[Sylar]

Fez Marie Whatley and Patrice O'Neal is the best. :lol

 

[watership]

It's probably been said like 100 times already... but it's a crying shame that this game doesn't have a screenshot/movie tool like Halo 3. If every a game needed on, this is it.

 

[duderon]

Don't know if this has been posted, but I knew some group was going to be pissed at the ability to drive drunk. I guess it is appropriately MADD that's upset.

[Somnia]

So for the hell of it after flying in the helicopter with Brucie (just a random call not a mission so not a spoiler...) I decided to pick up a hooker for the first time after 15 hours of playing :lol ...well I pick this girl up and driver back into an alley way and pick the $70 option. As she moves her head down some prick comes and tries jacking my car and the girl runs away with my money...BITCH!

 

[Diseased Yak]

Weird stuff happen to me.

-Punched a random bum. Bum punched me back and a cop saw it. Cop came held a gun to him and arrested him.

:lol I swear, the hobos are the best part of the city. I went random alley walking last night, and bumped into a random bum and he goes "Hey, watchit buddy, can't you see I'm trying to piss here?!"

 

[Teknoman]

How long does it take for a song you zitted to pop up on the Club?

WTF you aren't really required to drive drunk. Plus you are constantly told you shouldn't drink and drive AND the cops come after you immediatly if you do. Bullshit whining people.

Virtual Drunk Driving encourages real life drunk driving. It's a fact!

???


Press up twice, then use the digipad to choose 9, press a, choose 1, press a, choose 1, press a, hit the digipad to the left so you can choose the green telephone receiver and hit enter. Then follow the instructions.

Ricky Gervais Live? Brilliant after a day of, y'know, stuff that might be spoilers. Am I right?

 

[Chinner]

Oh man, I just read nikos profile on love-meet.net. got so much lettuce i could open a salad bar, lulz

 

[GhostRidah]

FUCKING SNOWSTORM OMG AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If it's not the fucking popos ramming me to hell and back as I try to get across the sole, single two lane fucking road connecting to the islands, it's the fucking NOOSE jackasses shotgunning me in the face. I hate this mission so much.

I loved that mission

 

[UncleGuito]

Shit, is the PS3 multiplayer still down? I can't connect, just like last night.

 

[RSTEIN]

I think the key to driving his braking a bit first and THEN lightly tapping the handbrake. I'm getting pretty good at it.

 

[lynux3]

Shit, is the PS3 multiplayer still down? I can't connect, just like last night.

It's weird. I was just online about 15 minutes ago... nothing wrong, very very little lag, etc. and now it won't let me connect, but I can still receive invitations from people on my friends list.
