Gta IV

Love the game: 3 things I don't like

Driving is crap
Fighting is shit, I seem to push random people instead of punching
Frozen twice already

Retirantmobs

The driving you get used to, Each veichle seems slightly different and handles different now.

The fighting is not too bad, the oppostion can get a punch in now sometimes. The taking cover part is really good, better then I expected.


Mines yet to freeze.

golden_blunder

only freezes on ps3 Ret

After my first session it took me about 1 hour to put a finger on who the main character sounds like. If hes not some sort of Borat/Dr Zoidberg half breed i dont know who is.

HEHE

I knew I was right in purchasing a new Xbox.

Completed about 20% now. It's freaking class. Just got to the next island and it's insane. Loads more traffic with sky scrapers etc. Looks amazing. Can't fault the game.

Rooney gr8

has anybody unlocked the car bomb yet?

i am not brave enough to say the name of nico's pal who gives him this, not with my tag line and all..

RedKaos

Really? thats an interesting opinion. From what ive heard the combat is a million times better than in the previous games.

But yet again I havent actually played this yet, and you might not have played the previous games so who am I to judge.

Chapster

driving is difficult admittedly
the turning circles are atrocious

RedKaos

Whats up with the driving?

Im hearing alot of people moan about the new driving system, whats wrong with it? whats changed?

CrazyBelgian

You can't take a corner with 200 mph. You have to brake first. Seems a realistic feature.

Every car has a different feeling, bit strange at first but you get used to it after 10 minutes.

I played some more and the amount of details is amazing. The radio disturbance when you get a phone call, blood splatters on the camera, ...

Yesterday I was standing next to my car, making a phone call and all of a sudden a pedestrian slams in the back of my car. I watch around and see a jeep standing there with a crack in his front window and blood all over the place. Police chased him!

3Sixty

I love the driving once i got used to it, makes you feel good when you escape police etc.

I_live_cement

It's a lot more difficult, basically. You actually have to brake in this one, which I like because it's realistic.

Dr. Dwayne

I had the pushing problem, then remembered that you have to use L2 to lock onto your target and then punch and/or kick with triangle, circle and square.

needless to say, I've a had a fair few hospital visits.

I did beat up some Jamacian gangsters and got a shotgun, though. I've barely completed any missions. just fecking about the city.

driving is admittedly much more difficult.

im addicted to hookers and fucking Michelle. I've given her an e-dose of clamidia

WeasteDevil

It's probably best not to quote from sites like that, as the person that wrote that probably doesn't have a clue what half the words he is using actually mean. And what the hell is he talking about 1080p for?

I don't see what the meaning is here, nobody had any problem running Halo in 1152x640 or COD4 in 1024x600 (this does run at 60fps most of the time however), especially when 98% of people wouldn't have a clue by looking at it, and nobody in their right mind expected this game to have high quality graphics in the first place. GTA is not the first game on either console in the HD age to render to a screen less than 720 pixels in height, and it will not be the last. Why it is 1152x640 on the PS3 and 1280x720 on the XB360 only the developers can give you reasons for.

In any case, why have so many gone mad recently for counting pixels, is it the new bit? As I said, most wouldn't have a clue what the differences are by looking at it. The graphics are not brilliant in either version.







Is anyone talking about why the 360 version has some strange dithering going on?

XB360


PS3


Of course not. All these things are choice made by the two different engine teams responsible for each version. As I said, only they could tell you why certain choices were made. Why anyone is trying to analyse the graphical qualities of this game I do not know. For a start resolution is only one factor in determining image quality, and here the image quality isn't the best on either version, but I don't think that really matters, it's not what GTA is about. The original game was poor graphically in comparison to other games out at that time.



Enjoy your game people.

Freak

Here are my professional reviews on this game .

Pros:

Niko is a very likable character. Probably the best character in all the series.

The city is huge! Like really really huge.

I love how you can now let a cab drive you to a destination instead of driving there yourself.

I also love how they incorporated being drunk after a club, and not being able to drive steadily.

The cover and fire is pretty good.

Cons

Driving is pretty shit.

The blurry effect to the graphics, I probably have not gotten used to this.

I have not fecked michelle.


Oh and mine has not froze(ps3).

Ace

I just smoked a sidewalk full of people after coming out of a bar totally wasted. I managed to somehow out run a two star wanted level under the influence.

Retirantmobs

I lost the cops after drink driving as well. Mainly because I jumped into the water with Roman (who can swim so far) he then drown and I escpaed, I had to pick him up from the hospital. Fucking love this game.

Dr. Dwayne

love the wanted level stuff and how the search area grows with each star achieved.

have not been drunk yet.

pert

This is amazing... I just dialed 911

Called a fire truck out to me

This is amazing

golden_blunder

i reckon Michelle is a copper, she asks too many questions

golden_blunder

oh and if you press Y, A, X, A, X, X, Y after a date with her, it guarantees you to get anal sex, then withdraw and jizz over her tits. Swear to god, its an easter egg by the makers

waterglow

Been on the love meet dating website yet? That's all I'm saying

waterglow

If you call the paramedics, they heal you if you're low on health. However they charge, but of course you can shoot them to get the money back. Muwahahaha.

golden_blunder

I think Roman will eventually call you and encourage you to set up an email address. This will bring up internet cafes on the map called TW@ - Here you can read and send emails, read the news and go onto a dating wesbite. Once here, you can select who you want to date (male OR female), and they reply back. If they say yes, you're in, and it's pretty much the same routine as you do right now with Michelle.

One highlight of the game was banging the fuck out of a hooker, knifing her, then getting wasted with some bimbo I hooked up with from the dating site, fuck her, then picking up Michelle, going to the comedy club, and then....yep, you guessed it, fucking her.

There will be little Niko's everywhere by the time I finish this game.

waterglow

One thing I will say about the cheats is that I used them straight away in prev GTA games, I haven't used one yet, and have never needed to. Plus,. once you complete the bank heist mission, the pay off is so large, you'll be financially set for a large portion of the game.

waterglow, who did you kill ? *SPOILER* Playboy X or Dwayne ? *SPOILER*
