For all discussion on actually playing the game.

Cars are sort of tough to maneuver so far, with all the camera details you can get into.

Put the subtitles on. Then you understand what they're saying, and it will even translate the foreign language.

I have been doing all the side quests, dunno about finding all the birds though. Even with that map, that may take a bit long. lol As to doing all the player missions, i been trying to get through all that and getting everyone 100 percent like and respect.

Also, i play at night when i cant sleep. Sometimes it gets hell of bad for me and i sleep about 2 hours a night. lol So i get about 3-4 hours in late night.

If by beat the game you mean the finish the story I finished it in 27 hours. Watched every cutscene, played many missions several times after dying or failing them. Went on maybe 4 dates and hung out with Jacob a couple times but that's it. If you mean get 100% completion well I don't even really care to do that.

tonight was the first night i didnt have a blast playing gta 4. its like the game just hated me. I kept failing mission after mission, then i couldnt even make it to a contact without pissing off the police in some way. whats weird was i am crazy about this storyline. but maybe its cuz the main plotline has just had just sputtered out a few missions back, so nothing has developed. dunno. got one more island to unlock,so maybe it picks up from there.

so I did the helicopter cheat...flew to Manhattan...got to the highest point...jumped out...holy shit the camera angle and the realism was unbelievable...all three of my friends cringed when he finally hit a building a died...it was amazing...we immediately turned the game off and were like, "we are fulfilled for the day..."

It was hysterical and awesome...coolest moment I've ever had in a video game.

Honestly, my only complaint about GTA's portrayal of the media is that it's being outdone by the real thing.

I was just on a mission, crossing the Algonquin Bridge on a motorcycle. Naturally, I was going 500 miles per hour, so when a taxi swerved in front of me, I couldn't stop in time despite hitting the brake and handbrake. So I nailed the cab and went flying, end over end over end over end over end, until finally landing head first on the ground a few hundred feet below.

Last night, a friend of mine had just escaped a four-star wanted level at the airport. He then rolled out of his truck, hit his head on a rock, and died.

Bumping this up, it fell off the first page.

I'm just about 50% completion, and I think I'm on the verge of making it to the third island.

Archie Bunker · 05-13-2008, 12:00 PM

Finally beat it last night and it is easily the best game I've ever played. Now its time to jump in my Stallion, crank up Radio Broker and try for 100%.

Can't wait for the DLC.

Mr. Arrowhead · 05-13-2008, 08:30 PM
