I'm really loving the graphics after almost 10 hours of play time. At first, I was kinda pissed about the jaggies and draw distance blurring, but I don't even notice them anymore. Everything looks great, especially in motion. The weather effects & transitions, too, have to be the best I've seen in a game.
On a side note, I'm still blown away by the new physics engine. The animation of bodies tumbling and flying through the air never gets old. I also love how when you bump into someone, they drop the object their holding or get pushed over. When I was running up to the monorail, I accidentally bumped into a woman waiting for the train. She tripped and fell onto the tracks right as a train approached, crushing her into oblivion.

That would be it
So ... I hijacked a bus, and picked up Michelle in it for a date. We went to the Irish Pub, and I'm trashed.
Is driving drunk an automatic pull-over if you go by a cop? I probably shouldn't get hauled off to jail with her as a passenger
How long does it take for the effect to wear off? She wants to go home :lol

I just went on a crazy shooting spree in the Strip Club.
I now know what it feels like to be Pacman Jones.

I did the same thing but with a car. It's instant pull over if they catch you. I got her home fine though. I guess I'm just good at drunk drivingOnix said:That would be it

So if you obey the traffic laws, you can actually drive by a cop wasted? Lulz
That may be a tad difficult in a bus ... but I guess I might as well try.

Wait...whats this? What are perks in this game? I know that I got Nico's cousins Cab job thingy but theres other things like that, that open up?
BlueTsunami said:
Yeah, when you can call someone on your phone to hang out that usually means they have a perk you can unlock if you get them to like you enough.
Onix said:
Nah, you'll get one star just passing a cop while drunk, even if you're driving alright. I'd try anyway though, drunk bus driving is a rare opportunity you shouldn't waste.

At my first mission I had to do a few times and its a close quarters combat one. Kinda lame that you can't kick open a door and have it stay open and then snipe from outside the door. Instead you have to step inside the door and potentially eat a few shots.

OMG, I was driving around, when I heard an ad for Brucie's shop. I went to Tw@, and typed in the website as directed: bruciesexecutivelifestyleautos.com :lol so funny. Of course, that lead to half an hour of browsing the web, and clicking through my spam emails.
I haven't found the pedo site, but I'll be looking next time :lol :lol
This game continues to exceed my expectations

I asked this in the comparison thread, but I figure I'd ask here too. Is voice chat totally fucked up for anyone else in MP on the PS3 version? I can't hear what my team mates are saying and they can barely hear me. I was having the same prob in the MGO beta. Everyone's sounds so faint you can't hear a word they're saying.
Revengeance said:
:lol Yeah there are is some Miyamoto level of attention to detail going on here.
The game is amazing. Playing some free mode last night and I jumped in a chopper with some guy. Flying over the city blew my mind... just so detailed and then the fact that you can land and be in this incredibly detailed world? WOW. It's something I've dreamed about being able to do in games for the longest time and now it's a reality.
Bought an Xbox today primarily for this game (already have a heavily used Wii), played for around 5 hours, and am completely stunned with the scale and depth of this game. I figured I'd play it like the previous GTA games: use cheats to unlock the map as quickly as possibly and then just screw around... but the story and the atmosphere sucked me in from the first act (off the ship).
I've decided to put it down for a week or two while I finish off all the half-played games on my plate, so I can take my time soaking in all of GTA4 with no other games on my mind.

All I can say is turn the Blue tooth volume all the way up, then turn its output volume all the way up in the XMB itself. Basically just blast all volumes related to mic functionality. When I did get in a room earlier, I could hear the other person really clear.
However it does seem a problem in general with PS3 bluetooth compatibility that its hard to hear people at normal settings. Why Sony hasnt addressed this, or more people havent complained...I dont know. Same for why isnt there an "official" sony brand headset.

Yeah i've been trying to see how physics can help me in every situation. Trying to think just a little more out of the box than usual. Though it would've made more sense to be able to kick a door open with a gun in hand.
Put in about 6 hours so far(360 version). Love the game, hate the driving but I think I'll get used to it.
I'm up to the

"Shadow" mission for Little Jacob[/spolier]
Guys....Being new to the GTA franchise, I would like to know what the fastest way to earn money is other than doing missions? Also does stealing cars and beating up the regular civilians benefit Niko at all. All it seems to do is attract the cops. Can I actually rob folks for cash?

In past GTAs it was doing Firetruck missions :lol
. Did they take that out of this GTA?BlueTsunami said:In past GTAs it was doing Firetruck missions :lol
haven't tried. every time I've seen a firetruck, I've been on a mission already.
as an aside, I never used them to make money in SA. I just rode a bike around the hood and murdered drug dealers for cash in that one.

The thing is, I got in an Ambulance and tried pressing some buttons and nothing came up. I hope the standard missions (Firetruck, Cabbie, Ambulance, Cruiser) missions are all retained (as far as I know, the Cruiser and Cabbie missions are).
In SA, you could chain the Firetruck missions like 11 times to get $50,000. It was awesome. But some would probably consider it broken.

I'm just tryna do fulfill a Civil Service yo!
Funniest moment so far was a minor fender bender that turned into a huge explosion.
Rammed into the back of car, the car went flying into a lamppost knocking it down. The passengers get out to check their vehicle, but they catch on fire because of the sparks/electricity from the lamppost. As they lay on the ground burning, their car catches on fire as well. It explode moments later and takes a couple of other cars with it. Good stuff.
Very addicting game so far. I never finished a GTA, would always lose interest, but this game has me hooked.

I have a questions GAF, I just finished the Shadow mission of Little Jacobs and I have some questions
1. People are talking about comedy clubs like the Ricky Gervais one, is that on another island or have I already unlocked that? How are you supposed to randomly find it?
2. How do I get more clothing shops, currently all I have is that shitty Russian one at the start of the game.
3. If I'm low on health, how do I fill up my bar? Finding hotdog stands are hard, can I go to Roman's place and just sleep or something?

The attention to detail is lightyears beyond anything else, the fake internet is just nuts, also very cool how much of it they kept bubbled into the GTA universe.
I was hoping the framerate would be smoother, but the visuals are top class, to me. So many great setpieces and details, amazing lighting and weather too.
