Yeah, I had heard.
I just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss out on either of their missions by starting the one that ends in that...choice.

It depends on the bike. Some of them are quite odd and a bit frustrating though.

One thing I will admit is cool is if you're in a mission and engaged in a gun fight, cops will come and start firing on the baddies (if you're lucky) .

I was going to do that anyway. Marlo v. Avon? Avon always wins. (X isn't quite Stringer Bell, otherwise he'd have won. Actually, shit. Dwayne is 100% Cutty. So of course Dwayne wins.) ;D

OH SHIT.
Also, I ran into the "You Like Hip Hop?" mission. It was in the perfect spot in the city, too. Brilliant. Hope it comes up again.

Another question. When will more save points be available? I'm getting tired of driving long distances just to save a game. Even calling for a cab and skipping the ride can be annoying.

Boy, I'm just starting on the McCreary missions and the X/Dwayne missions and they're quickly becoming way more involved than a simple, "Sit down and play for 20 minutes" type mission.
BenjaminBirdie said:
haha. Funny you bring up The Wire. All the missions where I have to kill someone I give them a signature "Wire" headshot.
I caught X coming around the corner when he ran from me and got him point blank on the side on the head. He just dropped.
I love this game.

Oh god is that Dwayne's first one?
Yeah, I did that way too many fucking times.
I FINALLY pegged the dude, grabbed his money with barely any health left (because I crashed a few times). Got Dwayne's phone call, LITERALLY turned around and got fucking plowed by a truck. And this was like my fifth try.
I was so livid.
The problem with that mission is the roads involved. They're so crowded with shit and so tangly that if you fuck up once you'll lose him. Maybe a hummer would've been easier since you can just plow through the detrius, but any other car doesn't do the trick.
I stuck with the bike but it was so fucking hard.
Even through Snow Storm and Destruction For Beginners, that was my most frustrating and hardest mission to date.

The one thing I've learned is that you really do need to a good car to not be frustrated during the chase missions. In prior GTAs I would generally just grab what was available and around me but the cars handle so differently now that I will go out of my way to grab a nice car before a mission starts now.

GTA 3, on the Stone ... one name: Niko

But since GTA 4 is after GTA 3 [Liberty City being completely different etc.] this is only a nice coincidence.

Yeah, I was looking hard for a humvee before that one.
I had no idea that the lapdances got raunchier each time you paid in a single sitting. When the second girl came onscreen, I was like, "wat?"
The game just gets better and better. Did Deconstruction on my second try, confused as to what I had found so hard the first time (thinking you actually had to rush to catch the guy, I guess).

Rushing in is usually the only thing that will get you to fail a gunfight mission.

If I want to see all the important buildings and landmarks the game's world has to offer, should I be exploring? I'm just a little conflicted about this, because I feel compelled to just go straight through the missions, yet the city is so massive that I constantly feel like I should be combing over everything. So, am I playing the game wrong? >_> Or will the story showcase most of the notable areas?
Brucie is endlessly excited.
In one of the missions, he asks Niko to
Another great story moment in GTA4.
In one of the missions, he asks Niko to
punch him in the stomach. Niko does so and it hurts more than B expected. Now, after the conversation between those two and Roman, Niko is going to leave. He then pretends to take another hit and Brucie almost screams because he's so geared up.
Just got one man army the super easy way :lol I was flying around with the chopper, getting under bridges to get the achievement, when I suddenly get a 6* alert out of nowhere. I was flying over the last island which I didn't unlock yet, so that was what triggered it. So anyway I keep flying under bridges and listening to music while the alert is going on, but the cops can't touch me. I keep doing this for a couple of minutes and BAM unlockment achieved
So anyone who wants to get this, that's a very easy way (if you're not on the last island yet)
That was such a great moment, the animation and acting really sells it.
Brucie is now easily one of my favorite videogame characters.
Bling. Check! Bodies. Check! Paper. Check! That's how we roll!

So can somebody tell me how the janky fucking multiplayer works?
For the past few nights, my friends and I have been enjoying the hell out of cops n crooks. I mean really, its been a blast. Last night, we were playing a game of that and one of my friends suggested we go into "free mode" and find a good place to set up a base and just fight the cops for as long as we could.
Since I was host, I set up a "free mode" game and the 3 of us spawned in there. It was just us and the city. We went around collecting RPGs, armor, assault rifles, etc. Then we found a perfect spot to hunker down and we started raising hell. 4 stars later, random people start joining our game.
Now this totally sucks because we didn't fucking want them in the game. They immediately started trying to shoot us and started talking all this stupid shit. "Yo, B! Dat nigga got a RPG! Shoot dat nigga! Shoot dat nigga!" (refering to me)
So anyway, a minute passes and the entire room is full of these jerkoffs. Our standoff with the police is totally fucked because of their interference and we're pissed. I remember that I'm host, so I start looking for ways to boot them from the game. Apparently, even though I'm host, we can only "vote" to kick them? Of course they way outnumber us so that doesn't happen.
I decide to just back out of the game and start up a new one. So I got back to party mode and invited my friends again. Few minutes later we are all set and I take us to "Free Mode" again. Before I know it, we're chucked into a game with a ton of other people again. I didn't get the chance to set the game up to our liking or anything. Just BAM and we're back in the ghetto with guys saying "Muthafucka I'ma cut you! Uno Nino I'm cut your tits off, nigga!"
So I leave again. I'm thinking I did something wrong and there's a way to set up a private game of Free Mode for myself and my friends. Guess what? THERE ISN'T! At least not that we can figure out. I had both of them try hosting games and the same shit kept happening. We kept getting matched with these hoodrat wannabes and we could never figure out how to arrange a private game.
So what am I doing wrong? What did I miss? Everybody is saying how great this cellphone menu is and I think it fucking sucks because the options are very limited and sometimes you just want the entire screen for setting up your game so you're sure you are not missing anything. Any help? Is it possible to host a private game? Or are we doomed to play with fucktards forever?

Wait, a "party room" or a "free mode" room? Because party rooms are already invite only. We'd just play in there if we could turn on the cops and stuff, but it seems like we need to have "free mode" on for that.
And if you were talking about free mode, then where do you find the option for reserving slots? We couldn't figure that out for the life of us last night.

I think you only get the options for "player match" or "ranked match". I'll look again though. If you guys say its there then its gotta be there. Thanks for the help, everybody. Now nobodys callin' me a "nigga" but me! :lolchubigans said:
