Yeah, hold up, BakedPigeon this is pretty important.
Besides that, Dwayne is still the right choice to side with (ie, Killing PBX). -- Kill Dwayne, and PBX acts like a douche to you, and blames you for it. He also gives you very little cash.
Kill PBX, and Dwayne is VERY anguished about it. He really didn't like that it had to happened, and as stated, you get PBX's mansion, and Dwayne becomes your friend and you get backup from him.
Also remember: Who called the hit first? It was PBX. Dwayne was only reacting in defense.

If only they had entered the Burger Shot at the end, to be greeted by;
"Welcome to Burger Shot, Mu' Fucker!"
Still, round of applause. I know have an urge to watch Naked Gun.... and I don't own any on DVD.

Got 100% today. My first 100% in a GTA game... and unlike the previous installments, I didn't use a single cheat in this game. It's a lot easier to get 100% in this one. The cop evasion system allows for a easier gameplay. I feel there wasn't as much to do though.
This one had the best story, by far, but III trough San Andreas had much better atmospheres. It felt great just messing around in them. Here I don't feel that. I just want to do what's asked of me and get it over with.
Saw the heart of the Statue of Happiness today too. Very nice. Not the easiest place to get to as you have to fall from a helicopter, but it's cool.

I sincerely regret the choice I made in this game.
And it was predictable for me to have Niko go after Dmitri instead of seek the deal, like I listened to the devil on Niko's shoulder at the wrong moment, and it got me nothing real in return. But the premise behind either choice was bound to cause heartache; either I make a deal and possibly get heroin on the streets of this digital city or I allow Niko to descend into violence. I feel I made the same fundamental mistake when deciding to kill Dwayne. I thought PBX was a bastard, but I also felt that his argument made the most sense. I felt the same way after listening to Kate and seeing what happened afterwards, though having Roman die is hardly desirable either. Accepting the premise as it's given is never a good idea.
I think the worst part of that ending is how broken up Packie sounds when he calls you (assuming you didn't turn the game off at the credits). I really ended up liking Packie more than the other supporting characters, and listening to him call made me cringe knowing I had done that, so to speak.

After the credits, I got two phone calls; one from Packie and the other from Roman trying to console me. Is that all there is in terms of post-credit action?

Need help with one of Derrick's missions:
It's the mission where you have to drive that police truck carrying his friend to safety. How in the hell do you escape the police? The thing is so damn slow.

Just beat the game last night - had a question
After a friend and I beat the last mission taking out the Pegorino guy and the music kicked in my friend asked "Whats with the epic music" and I joked "Watch - roll credits" and sure enough *roll credits*
Is this it? I waited till the game resumes and I got a few phone calls - one from Packie morning the loss of his sister and one from roman saying that he and mallorie are my family now. I am like 65% complete so is there any more story to complete or is that it?

It's like im looking right into a mirror or something. You just described my feelings exactly...word for word. GTA IV definitely has some emotionally striking moments.Lo-Volt said:
Man, I thought I was the only one who liked Packie. He didn't really fit in with the whole "Niko's trying not to be a bad guy!" nonsense at the beginning, but once that whole concept was shown to be the shit it was, Packie became one of my favorites. Brucie was good for laughs, but Packie was the only guy whose personality I actually liked.
Roman annoyed the piss out of me.
EDIT: Wait, I completely forgot about Little Jacob. The camaraderie between Jacob and Niko far excelled that of any other pairing in the game. I'm glad Jacob
, but I wish he had been much more prevalent throughout the entire game.
Oddly enough, it felt to me like Jacob and Kate were the only two people who actually understood what Niko wanted (definitely much more than Niko
himself, heh). Maybe I'm crazy, though.

Im really trying to understand the ending.
Does anyone else feel totally unsatisfied? I feel like there was no reward what so ever for beating it. Was there even an ending at all? I mean, my god, I was hoping for a little more closure than:
Roman: Thats it cousin! We are free to make money now!"
Niko: Yes....I suppose thats true
*roll credits*

From your Bohan safe house, go to the NW corner of the block that lies to the NW. There's a whole long trench dug out along the corner, set back a little from the street, with a long 'mound' running along the edges of the trench and a few wooden safety picket things as well. There's a couple of big pipes running through the bottom of the trench as well. I find the best way to push people in is to stand on the corner and then you just need to time your push rightnavanman said:

if you get thier like % high enough you get cheaper weapons, heli rides, car bombs ect...MrHicks said:
There's more than one skate park, but the one you want is near a Bowling Alley and Burger Shot in Algonquin near the water. Should be easy enough to find on the start map since there's only one bowling alley in Algonquin if I recall.endlessflood said:EDIT: Can somebody tell me where the skate ramps are?

Cheers raYne, I guess it must be somewhere near the golf course then.raYne said:
I'm still not sure how to get a police car on the rollercoaster though :lol
Speaking of which, has anyone found a good way to use Packers (the car carrying trucks with ramps up their back) in GTA4? I'm thinking that you might be able to use a pointy car like an Infernus or Coquette as the stepping stone up to the start of the ramp. Anyone tried it?
Yeah, that sounds about right.endlessflood said:
Hmm? I got a comet up there early in the game so that really shouldn't be an issue to do normally.
Never even tried. From just glancing at it while driving past, the ramp didn't look like it went close enough to the floor to take advantage of.

Dammit, why wasn't I informed of this possibility immediately?!! :lolraYne said:
I mean reverse an Infernus or Coquette (any car with a low bonnet/hood) up to the bottom of the ramp. Then come flying at it in another car, hopefully sliding up the hood/bonnet and onto the bottom of the ramp. I think it might work. It might wipe off enough speed that it's not very useful as a stunt device, but at the very least it should allow access to areas that you wouldn't normally be able to take a car (or motorcycle) to.raYne said:

I liked pretty much all of the characters. Kate just annoyed me though, all she did was whine and make snide remarks. How was that supposed to make Nico attracted to her? But outside of Jacob, my favourite character was Phil Bell. When ITheOneGuy said:
crossed Pegorino
wouldn't be able to have dealings with me anymore
I have to say that I never felt any remorse for any of the characters that I whacked either, except in the choice between
Francis and Derrick. I cheated and when I heard that Francis could take some heat off you if you let him live, I capped Derrick. I know Francis was slimey, but I justified it to myself by saying that I felt sorry for Derrick, because he was so addled by drugs that he was never going to enjoy life again, and I was doing him a favour. Those scenes where Derrick is on the park bench I found pretty disturbing and very tragic.

Chase the Wave mission? I pull back and kill the two guards in the front from the truck but the other guy just runs into the building and always ends up getting killed before I can even cover him.
Thanks!
ending stuff.
I finished the game by making the choice to pursue the deal, get backstabbed by Dimitri again and have Roman die. I felt the ending was satisfying and gripping. Perhaps only people who chose the other ending felt a little let down? The ending was great. Dimitri laying there spitting out blood before he dies and Nico having lost his cousin. Some great dialogue right to the end. "So...this what the American dream feels like?" Great ending!

Beat the game last night. I went with
Poor
Question:
I hear
I was kinda hard on this game, saying it was more of the same -- and in many ways it is -- but even after picking up MGS4 last night I HAD to complete the required missions, it's as if I wouldn't allow myself to play anything else. And so I stayed up until about 3 or 4 AM finishing this game. You don't realize (well, I didn't) how... well, deep, the world of GTA4 is until you are done playing. It's a really impressive one that you don't want to leave once you're done. I still feel like going back to it, but I should get started on MGS4 (summer of gaming woooo).
Overall it's a great game. It does get a bit redundant at times, but it's the best game in the series since GTA3. I hated Vice City, and got really bored with San Andreas around 65-75% through the required missions. This is the first time I've completed a GTA *since* GTA3, heh.
Himu: I found the game to be sometimes challenging, sometimes easy. Depends on the mission.
Also, what's everyone's favorite commercial? I like the mummification ad. Makes me lulz every time.

Revenge over Deal.
Kate, she didn't deserve that.
Question:
What happens when you do Deal?
Roman dies or something? What's different? I don't mind it being spoiled for me, so spoil away.

You go to do the deal with Phill Bell, but it's sabotaged by Dimitri and you barely escape with the money. Niko tells Phill he's not going to go after Dimitri for revenge, but just forget about it and live with the money. At Roman's wedding, an assassin sent by Dimitri attempts to kill Niko and Roman is shot and killed in the scuffle, so then for the final mission you go after Dimitri at the old casino, Dimitri kills Pegerino just like he's betrayed everyone else he's worked with, and you chase him to the Statue of Happiness and kill him. Only difference in the final mission between both endings is that in one you chase the boat in a dirt bike, and in the other one you chase it in another boat.
But if you letRez>You said:

the Revenge path
Kate, but Roman was a much more important character, so I'd rather see him live.
Also, why so much hate for
Kate? She was the only normal person in the McReary family, and I didn't think she was cold or snobby at all. Carmen is the girl in that game that pissed me off. I dumped her ass! Kiki's the best, she even gets you out of up to three stars of trouble, most of the time.
Speaking of
Kate, which McReary did you guys kill? I decided to get rid of Francis. He had it way too good to do so many bad things unlike his brother who seriously needed help.
Beat it today. I did the
path. Lack of check points in multi-part missions just suck in this game. Did the final mission probably six times because I kept screwing up that the very end of it. Seriously, a
without checkpoints is just cruel.
revenge
car chase, shoot out, bike chase, jump, helicopter chase, and finally another gun fight

After playing through The Puerto Rican Connection and Snow Storm, I have to ask...
WHY THE HELL AREN'T THERE CHECKPOINTS IN THIS GAME? I don't like driving all the way across the damn city every time I restart a mission...
Really, GTA IV gets so many things right, but then it has a few of these extremely irritating oversights...
