Grand Theft Auto IV

Just under 5 hrs left guys.

I just recieved my xbox digicamera in the mail. Got it just for a '08 poker game i have but i wonder if you can digimask your face onto the multiplayer GTA4 game.

Im pretty much certain you cant, and Rainbow 6 proved that digimaskng is awful. lol

Tiger Woods made it work though.

Another 10, this time from Gamespot.

Wow, I can't believe it got 10s on ign and gamespot. I'm sitting inside gamecrazy, just 47 more minutes. 😄

Just picked it up.

Thank god it has a free month trail for XBOX Live.

I was thinking of getting Live again for GTA, but I wasnt sure I would like it.

Thank god though.

And its good because now I can DL updated rosters for NHL 08.

It comes with a free month? Sweet, I don't feel like paying for Live at the moment 😛

I'll be picking this up tomorrow morning when I'm at work. And then playing tomorrow afternoon and all day Wednesday.

Gamespot's pretty lousy these days, what with firing people because of giving harsh reviews. They seem to give harsh reviews just to try and stand out.

So I guess now Gamespot just became too lenient with the 10?

Or maybe this GTA is the BIG ONE.

Dunno, haven't played the game.

I was just saying that Gamespot has shown some very heavy implications of bias and questionable tactics when it comes to reviews and their policy and fairness.

I just got back with mine, just have to unpack the damn thing. lol

My copy did.

I dont know if its a Canada thing, or US thing.

I've played for about 2 hours or so. Its not really anything to go by because I've only played for a few hours but I'm not seeing a perfect 10 here at the moment.

It's playing exactly like San Andreas (which is definitly not a bad thing). It's definitely improved when it comes down to atmosphere, fighting, driving (even though if you press up on the L stick, which I always do in racing games, the cameras shoots to the bumper) and overall, but I'm not seeing the game that IGN has stated, "best game since Zelda 64).

But then again, I've only gotten into 2 hours of the game and a few missions.

I played about 2 hours, Im really liking it. Its starts off kinda slow, but since I still have about 40 hours to go, im sure it will pick up. I like the cover and the new combat, just the control scheme will take some getting used to. Its nearly 3, so im heading to bed, but I have a full day of playing tomorrow. 😄

Mind giving a quick example? I actually agree but I wonder what specifically you are thinking of.

Also, online forums are flooded with topics about freezing on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions

Biggest most obvious example is the whole thing that happened with Gerstmann, got fired over mysterious circumstances; many others in the industry think it was primarily because of a negative review he gave to a game that had a lot of advertising put into gamespot at the time.

Also backing up the idea that Gamespot has some problems is that much of the editorial team decided to leave at around the same time, some of the ex employees have come out and said that they weren't happy with how things were being run.

Really? Freezing copies? That sucks. Seems every big game these days has some major problems upon release.

Ok silly question is this game avilable on PC Too ? 😮

Not at the moment.

History shows that it most likely will be in the future.

I got the game and so far am enjoying it.

I hope this beats halo 3 for the beat selling game ever !!

I read (IGN?) theres no flamethrower, chaingun or chainsaw to keep the weapons related to the city (whatever they mean by that....cant see how a guy cant pick up a chainsaw and go on a homicidal rampage), are there any stand out cool weapons, besides the RPG? Any swords or any unconventional weapons like the previous games?

And how sensitive are cops, like if you walk past a cop holding a gun do they chase you or do you have to fire it first? If you pick someone off 500m away with a sniper rifle do the cops pin you straight away or does there have to be witnesses nearby?

The cops are pretty much the same as far as sensitivity, you can walk right past with shotgun in hand and not raise suspicion. The only difference now is that pedestrians call the cops to come if you are doing bad things.

LMAO 😂

I took my date out to teh bar, now Niko is so drunk he is walking backwards. 😆
