Also, what happened to Vigilante mode?

It got way more awesome?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Did I (Magellan42) end up in a multiplayer game with you earlier, Iamthegamer? I think you killed me like... a bunch>

Oh shit, that was you? I was wondering which gaffer that was. I think i may have won that deathmatch, a first for me (I usually end up near the top though - NO ONE REMEMBERS TO PICK UP THE MONEY)

 

[BlueTsunami]

It's a reason I don't use muscle cars at all in GTA, they slip and slide so easily. I tried a Stallion in IV and my thoughts were confirmed.

Definitely, the Stallion in IV likes to oversteer like crazy

Also, as far as Vigilante missions go, I logged into the LCPs system but couldn't do any missions. Something about the not being able to connect to the server...

 

[Stoney Mason]

It got way more awesome?

A fucking men.

 

[QVT]

Anyone else using cabs like crazy to get around town? So awesome to use, and much easier to save games with.

Oh hell yeah. If a cab comes before a bike when I walk outside I usually grab the cab.

 

[IronicallyTwisted]

The driving is actually quite realistic. You have to slow down before the turn, turn, and then accelerate out of the turn. I find this is much more like real driving than games where you can powerslide with braking around corners.

 

[FIREBABY]

I haven't played Burnout Paradise in months, but when I deform cars in GTAIV, I can't quite tell which game actually does it better. GTAIV is much more specific in it's damage. The detail is incredible, as is Burnout. I pondered this as I drove on two wheels, running over pedestrians today. Another one of life's mysteries.

Yup. bullet holes,chipped paint, cracked windshields, nothing looks the same. How the hell did they do this and keep everything intact. By the way Firetruck rampages are the shit.

Someone tell me what's wrong with this picture.

If you haven't yet, get yourself one of the Ferrariss near the Perseus store, or you can wait and get the Inferno, the thing has speed, power and handling. I have one parked

Spoiler

in all three of my hideouts

 

[Zamoto]

I tend to avoid the muscle cars at all costs. They are way to slippery. My favorite due to handling is the Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes and the CRX lookalikes (I don't know the names). That corvette looking thing is a tire smoking pile of shit, but its fast.

 

[duk]

Someone tell me what's wrong with this picture.

hmm no red lights?

 

[Brashnir]

hmm no red lights?

lol no. it's the PS3 version of the game =P

 

[chubigans]

What's this about logging into the computer? I heard about that feature so much but I'm in a cop car right now and I don't see it.

You have to progress further along in the story. After that it'll ask you to press L1 when stopped.

 

[Brashnir]

stop the car and hit LB (I assume L1 if you're on the PS3 version)

 

[BlueTsunami]

What's this about logging into the computer? I heard about that feature so much but I'm in a cop car right now and I don't see it.

Oh man Himu, it rocks. I believe you press L1 (or I would think L Shoulder for 360) when your in an LCP Cruiser. Go and find out

 

[No Means Nomad]

lol no. it's the PS3 version of the game =P

Oh. I was going to guess that if he sent it in all the art would be wiped away with Lysol, bleach, and a sponge.

I think some guy introduces it to you in the game.

Apparently its the same reason why Zit music hasnt shown yet.

 

[dedhead54]

Oh shit, that was you? I was wondering which gaffer that was. I think i may have won that deathmatch, a first for me (I usually end up near the top though - NO ONE REMEMBERS TO PICK UP THE MONEY)

Yeah it was me.

I have noticed people don't always pick up the money. I've definitely found random money's laying around because of it.

 

[QVT]

What the hell are you supposed to do in Undress for Kill?

 

[Tobor]

The cars handle perfectly. I love the new physics.

People are complaining about the cars? :lol

 

[Core407]

Dude, why the fuck would they only ruin cars then? Why are bikes perfectly drivable? And fuck the idea of going slow to fix it, I want to go fast.

And of course the gameplay still sucks. If you tried to sell this gameplay without the world behind it you'd get laughed at. It's GTA it's not about the gameplay.

The shooting aspect really picks up when you get the uzi and so forth. Uzi is a real visceral experience and really shows off the advances the game has made from previous titles. Also, driving is ridiculously easy if you use the brake and handbrake. Some of the cars are difficult to drive, but they're the larger boat Caddilacs basically and they handle like you'd expect them to. Get the Turismo, try that out and realize the driving doesn't suck but is actually realistic. Seriously, I pull off some of the craziest runs with the Turismo. Also, when you start fishtailing, cut it in the opposite direction and back and forth, but slowly lower the intensity and you'll normal your car out. Remember, small flicks are ideal for top speed.

 

[chubigans]

I'm kinda disappointed that the numbers in the world (like on billboards and such) dont work with the in-game phone. Even a pre-recorded message would have been cool, and not that hard to do. Ah well.

 

[Aladuf]

Anyone else using cabs like crazy to get around town? So awesome to use, and much easier to save games with.

Yeah I've been using them a lot.

 

[Brashnir]

Alright! Got the computer on

I'm going to search for Niko

If you have the 360 chat pad, you can type with it in the police computer. I thought it was a nice touch.

 

[BlueTsunami]

The visuals in this game seem to grow on you as your eyes adjust. At first the game looked like everything was sort of blending into eachother but now I can discern things better than I did at first. The fug?

 

[UncleGuito]

The cars handle perfectly. I love the new physics.

People don't like change. I think the cars handle great, and I always welcome a learning curve.

 

[TheGreatDave]

What the hell are you supposed to do in Undress for Kill?

Walk around, wait for people to talk. Managers will then be marked with a red marker.

Once you start shooting, they'll all bail through the back exit, follow their car if you need to.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Yeah it was me.

I have noticed people don't always pick up the money. I've definitely found random money's laying around because of it.

fun game, man, fun game. Actually, a lotta fun games today. I love this, I'm glad no huge multiplayer game is coming out for a while, everybody's gonna get in on this.


If you told me 6 years ago I'd be playing GTA online with 15 other people I woulda been like "pssssh, you crazy."

 

[Firewire]

Someone tell me what's wrong with this picture.

I see what you did there.

 

[MaizeRage25]

I just beat the

mission. Probably the hardest mission I've come across so far, but also probably my favorite. Finally got the assault rifle from it.

[VibratingDonkey]

Anyone else using cabs like crazy to get around town? So awesome to use, and much easier to save games with.

I've learned to hail a cab when drunk. Cops get on your ass like crazy if you drive drunk. So I end up taking quite a lot of cab rides. Not that I mind. Apart from that one time when the driver thought the best way to get me to my destination would be to reverse down a sidewalk and repeatedly slam into a barrier.

Spoiler

And I miss Roman's employee, that guy was great. Will you ever be able to use "Car Service" again?

 

[xabre]

What do I spend money on? It's early in the game and I've got about $800 with only the Russian Clothes shop to buy stuff in (which I've pretty much all done).

 

[Firewire]

Compromises!

 

[TheGreatDave]

You're supposed to shoot, then? I assumed you had to sneak around and do it since they kill you almost instantly if you shoot.

I went behind the bar, took cover, and just shot everybody. Worked out OK.

Yeah, after doing a few missions the option will become available again.

Yeah. It's a great workaround to the scale issue that made missions a hassle.

Seriously.... Never thought it would actually happen. It's so fun, too... SO fucking fun!

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Seriously.... Never thought it would actually happen. It's so fun, too... SO fucking fun!

It's so simple, run and gun, yet it's never downright frustrating or annoying. you implement your own strategy, on the fly. it's ingenious gameplay, that's what it is. I duno if I'd go balls crazy and give it 10/10....I'm gonna need to play a game of King Kong with you guys before I'd do that.

Can someone give me tips for the Undress to Kill mission? (

Spoiler

where you need to take out the 3 managers in the strip club

).

As soon as I kill one of them, I'm getting shot at like mad by all the security guards and people.
