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.

Does the game take different paths, with one being the correct path and the other incorrect?

For example...in one of the first few missions where vlad wants you to kill some dude, and he's hanging on the railing, you are given an option to either kill him, or help him.

What if you ignore romans calls while driving to pick up michelle or something?

I still can't get over how much more visceral it is to shoot or run over someone now. And when you're up close and the blood splatters on the camera or the windshield, wow. Everything has so much more weight that it's almost kind of disturbing.

(And also incredibly fun.)

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Ultra, any idea?

I went ahead and picked up Michelle, rather than go off to save his dumb fat ass. After the date I got a call from the hospital

When I picked him up he bitched a bit but was more interested in Michelle's titties. hehe

I let the guy live that I was chaseing Vlad for then I did a few missions saved went and loaded my old Save and killed the guy I was getting the same missions both times.

As for Roman I ignored his calls twice and he just kept geting more and more pissed no change in story line as far as i can tell.

Later on in the game there seems to be a big choice between a Drug dealer and his mentor whois names I wont Say.

Great, thank you sir.

It's too cool to take somebody's car and see them hold on to the door handle. I was blown away the first time I saw it. I would say the beginning of the game is a little slow, but necessary to get you acclimated to the game. The more you play the better it gets. The world is huge-I've played for close to 10 hours and there's only a few things that I even recognize. The GPS is off the hook. Very worth the purchase. 10 hours in and I've barely scratched the surface. Wow.

I won't be able to play the game today, and probably not tomorrow either.

I was wondering that! I thought my TV was just messed up or something. The game is really dark. How far up did you move the brightness up before you found the optimal level?

**QuikSsurfer** · 04-30-2008, 02:53 PM

Anyone mastered drunk driving yet?

I have it all the way up, although one or two notches from the top would probably work too. I also messed around with the contrast. I think I moved it up two notches.
