Grand Theft Auto IV

Metal Gear much????

The combined runtime of just the cutscenes in the game is 8 hours. 😱

Since this story went live, Rockstar Games contacted GameSpot to say that the running time associated with GTAIV's BBFC rating was for the length of footage given to the ratings board, not the game itself. It did not provide a final running time for the game, but did say that its cutscenes alone approach eight hours in combined length.

In another game, that might bother me, but I always love the story and cutscenes and GTA, and that amount is far outwayed by the endless hours of gameplay.

Great(crane) new multiplayer pics...

Continued....

Almost there....

Aaaaaah, I hate these situations.

Can I afford to buy it already? Do I have time, I have like 5 other unfinished games I'm playing atm, and then exams pop up at the beginning of June!!

To make things even worse, it's released on the Tuesday before I have a long weekend off, from Wednesday to Sunday, a perfect opportunity making the temptation greater. Darn it.

Once this comes out, im not playing anything else for weeks. 😛

Two reviews have come out in the UK, both 10 out of 10. 😱

I haven't even finish my second run @ San Andreas.

Guess I'll have to finish it another time.

Bring on GTA IV! I'm ready!

*plays Rocky theme song*

It sucks I have to give up 2 hours to see Iron Man that weekend. 😂

I tried going back to San Andreas the other day, I absolutely loved that game, but I couldnt play knowing what was coming. 🙄

At this time....just save your energy.

Okay...people! What are going to do?

Explore or Complete Missions?

Explore, get the feel of the available parts of the city, and then start the missions.

Im taking the 29th off and getting it at midnight, ill do missions first to get the tutorial the first missions give you. Ill do that till I go to bed, when I wake up ill do more missions and check out the multiplayer a little. Ive never been one of the guys who just goes crazy and racks up murder/death/kills( 😛 ). One huge reason I play GTA is for the story and the characters.

I HATE ALL YOU....😛

Lucky bastards, I'll have to wait like 3 weeks before I could just scratch the surface of this game (I mean just play it for a couple hours)

I have to wait till December to actually play it (I have neither a PS3 nor a 360)

On the other hand I'm getting a PSP tomorrow 😛

What? lol

😄

because the first thing I do it's create as much havoc as possible, I just get by the first level then I go by my destruction path.

And I don't believe you don't go crazy on a rampage 😛 just for the sake of creating mayhem 😄

I will do stuff like that, but that wont be the first thing I do. 😛

We're getting some censored version here, but they havent said what exactly will be censored...bastards angryshakefist

I never knew Australia was so censored, I always kinda thought it was full of like tough people and bad asses. Never thought they would have such problems with computer generated blood and boobies. 😛

Its just our politicians and all those christian groups that are the pansy ones, we dont have an R rating for games so its either dumb it down to MA or ban it.

Oh, that sucks.

The rating system here still aggravates me. They design the game from day one for mature players, they rate it as such, and it is enforced(I've been carded constantly and im 23). But ****ing people still complain because kids still end up with it when their ignorent parents buy it for them. What more do they want them to do? They want to punish all gamers because some parents have no spine when it comes to their kids anymore and they do whatever it takes to please them?

GTA 3 had complaints because you could have sex with a prostitute, didnt matter that you could blow heads off and steal cars and bash cops and gays etc, the only thing they were worried about was watching you pick up a girl and have the car rock back and forth...big deal, but it almost got banned for that.

Not sure about import laws, but if a game is outright banned for sale, can you still import it?
