Now that I've got the time to just tool around I just noticed, did the club not make it into the final game or can I only take a date there?

Are you talking about the 2 level club/restaurant? I found it by doing a side mission from a random dude on the street that wanted me to take pics of his wife and the guy she was cheating with.

No, that's that shitty theme restaurant.

Also, I remember Rayne saying something about
getting a map of everything in the city
after you beat the game.

Is that for reals?

I had a feeling it was there.

But yeah, if you check the map that came in the box there's a "Record" Icon for a club in the way North of Algonk. It's right there too. You can walk up to it.

Nah there's a club but you can't do shit there.

You know what I really dislike about GTA, as a matter of fact all GTA's?
You're supposed to be this bad ass mofo but you NEVER see a main character drink or smoke ANYTHING????

There is one scene between playboy and Niko where he gives him a drink, yet Niko never takes a sip. Why is this? You can obviously get drunk why can't we see him drinking something? I take it that is also why you can't get drunk at a stripclub or random bar when you walk into it. Fucking retarded.

I'm pretty much done with GTAIV, it's been quite a letdown. I figured I'd be playing this for months, yet there is so little to do in the game after you've finished it. I never thought I'd say this but I think I'll be playing SR2 more than this game even though this game's world is wonderfull, it's just empty of things to do. Which is a total shame. I'd rather they have delayed the game 5 more months to add more shit and add more features and polish the multiplayer.

In hindsight it's still a good game, I'd probably give it a 8.7 to be honest..

Wait a second, why would Niko drink on business? He can do whatever the fuck he wants when he's just chilling but every scene when he's offered alcohol or drugs, he's working, on a mission.

Why on Earth would Niko compromise himself in such an overtly senseless fashion?

Why didn't they tell the general public this before? It would've stopped (or at least lessened) all the bitching people have been doing for all this time.

Take your time. Once you've cleared everyone out grab the health in one of the back rooms. When NOOSE comes in run to the pickup truck parked 2 feet outside the building. Get rid of a 2 star wanted level.

Click to expand...

There was a contest for those who could get 100% before May 19th. Rockstar will send out a key to the city to all who qualified. The problem was that Social Club wasn't updating in time, so those of us who got 100% in time were a bit worried about what that meant for our entry into the contest.

Make sure you have full body armor, and park your car right outside the exit. When the cops get there, RUN LIKE HELL. Don't fight the cops. You should be able to make it to your car before they kill you.

So I have a bit of a problem... I killed the 200th pigeon using a guide.... and I still have 3 left!

I mean obviously as I went through the guide there was a few pigeons that I couldnt find so I figured I had found them already..,. and then were a few that I couldnt find and a I didnt think I had found on my own either - and I wrote those down.

But still, this sux.

You need to be in the vicinity of the person (like one or two blocks away) and at the right time. Most of the random characters will be at their spot between a certain time (e.g 10am-4pm).

My Social Club finally updated to 100% this morning (got 100% last Saturday). I'm ranked #130 in terms of time, but that rank probably won't last long :p

How the hell do people get 100% in ~15 hours?! It took me nearly that long just to get all the pigeons!

I have no problem dispatching the dealers inside the building, it's a breeze and I can make it to the health with not even a bruise. I actually did run like hell going out, but that pickup is DAMN AWFUL to drive, really, steering like shit and slow and heavy as fuck. That's what I learned yesterday

so I tried it again, parked my car right where the pickup was, enter, kill, going out..and the police trashed my car. OMG, WHY?

so, replayed it again, grabbed a PD car and actually made it to the bridge...but goddamn bastars cornred me with something like five cars...and I died

Why use a car when you can use a boat? There's a speedboat at the waterside. Just rush out of the building, sprint to it and get the hell out of there. Losing your wanted level in the boat is easy. Seems like your only problem is outrunning the cops, should be easy that way.

You don't really have to drive that hard to get out of 2 stars, I think that's the mistake most people make, if your vehicle cant corner for shit, slow down. If you cant get anywhere near the edge of the wanted zone, just make a run for a pay & spray and take a few turns just before you get there to make sure there's no cops that are directly on your ass.

Heh, I had a cop on my ass once and when I pulled into the garage, the star went gray because he couldn't "see" me anymore. O:

It worked!

Pigeon-hunting in this game is fucktarded. I'd rather have hidden packages. At least then I don't have to deal with the cops EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.

Also while hunting for pigeons, I found an Annihilator! It was on top of a cop building I think on the second island. Is that always there? If so, what's the fucking point of killing pigeons! ):

yea I killed only 2 pigeons so far, but every time I kill 1, cops go ape shit over it...I was playing some gta3 yesterday and i must of beat up and killed like 10 people before cops gave me 1 star...in gta4, its 1 star after 1 punch>_<

Indeed, Niko even implied that those were the reasons. Repeatedly.

In short: MMaRsu needs to pay more attention.

There is at least always an Anni on the Airport, so yeah killing pigeons for the Anni is pointless. Even better, today I wanted to waste a bit time while installing Age of Conan so I decided to take the Annihilator from the MeTv building and screw around a bit. Landed close to the building to look for an entrance. Didn't find one, so I started up the heli again and.....the Annihilator wasn't there! Gone! Disappeared! I mean wtf?
Decided to play around with the rocket launcher a bit instead (didn't know you can blind fire that thing out of cover D:). Fired a rocket at a Taxi and....it bounced off! Ok can happen. So I fire again....and it bounced off! It was like the game said "Fuck off, if you want fun, play something else!" to me. First the Anni, then this.......weird.

Well, the airport at least is risky since you automatically get four stars for running around the back. (Not that I know WHERE the copter is, I assume it's back in that area.)

Speaking of cops/copters. I hate that you can't get away from cops in a chopper if you're at three or more stars. |: I mean, I flew all the way out over the ocean, there were no cops anywhere near me.

Although it is fun to fly really fast and then jump out and land in the water outside the circle of aggro. Haha.

Question about the last couple of missions:
is it worth it to try both choices? I went with the revenge route, but I have a save prior to the choice. I haven't done the following (I'm assuming the last) mission yet. Is it worth it to go back after I'm done and try the other one, or are they basically the same no matter what your choice?

Same here. Best part I've found to rack up the body count is the northern park on the third island. Just go along the railing of the lake in that park and you'll take out so many bystanders in a couple laps that your car will actually stop working. Cop cars don't really chase you inside so you can take your time to aim for pedestrians better.

I got the gta4 guide the other day and it didn't have the stevie car pickup missions that you get from text messages. Does anyone have a link that shows you the locations of these cars or just a walkthrough of the stevie missions?

Also on Kate,
You wouldn't believe how happy I was when Kate died. As they were shooting her I was shouting "use the grenades, make sure she's dead!!". Best convenient death ever.

It looks like the wiki page was updated with a map as well, it wasn't there when I was using it
