Grand Theft Auto IV

doing a mission for vlad my 360 froze while loading it up to replay. thats teh only trouble i've had an i imagine it'll be updated in next couple of days.

not sure about the driving yet, its a bit more realistic in that you have to brake a lot more... but i imagine i just need to get the hang of it.

what do people think of cops and crooks? only had two games, one on each team and loved it.

I havent played online yet. Whats your gamertag? Im AstroFan.

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. 😄

Yeah it is starting off slow.

Its slow but its still incredibly engrossing to me. Im liking the relationship system, I already scored the warm coffee achievement. 😛

It really does suck you in.

Okay, now I'm worry. People are saying that it's Special Edition the one with freezing problems.

Damn! I get mine later today. ermm

Mine is a special edition, ive had no problems.

Cool little vid about the history of Liberty City: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33385.html

got my copy...still at work though 🙁

astrofan, do i need to play the campaign or can you go right to multiplayer?

As far as I know it's like Burnout Paradise. Just pop up the cell-phone and jump online from the get-go.

But you must probably just get to the "house" first, all other previous GTA games have had something before going to the house.

It helps to learn the controls, and I think you need to play for like 10 minutes to get your phone before you can go online. I think.

cool. see you in a couple of hours then 😛

Fun game.

Anyone know how to wave down a taxi, though?

On 360 it's LB when they're close. I'd guess it'd be L1 on PS3

Just got back from work, got the game today...probably will play a bit tonight. I actually did start but I only got a few minutes in before I got interrupted.

Thanks.

i played for about 5 hours, all on free mode. love it

Yeah, that was pretty badass. I just love falling out of helicopters. 😛

So online, do you have to invite friends or is it once the game is on, anyone can join? They should have dedicated servers for this, it'd be badass to jump online with a bunch of randoms for a quick 15min game now and then.

You can do quick matches and join anyone, or you can create your own room, which you can then set as many private invite only slots as you want.
