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.

DO IT!

I was playing in free mode and was messing around in a chopper. some dude kept tailing me, trying to shoot me down. I hovered over a flat building, landed the chopper on there, spun around and dropped the chopper in one shot from the sniper rifle. fun stuff.

is it just me or is the bolt-action sniper easier to use than the semi-auto sniper?

It's worth it to fail some missions just to hear the extra dialogue. This game is so ****ing perfect.

So yesterday a police helicpoter hovered of my apartment complex in real life. All I could think about is taking it down with an rpg and getting 5 stars hehe

Man I finished the story missions, and I'm just glad it's over. Outside of a handful of standouts I didn't care for most of the story missions at all. Too much repetition and scripting and frustration when stupid shit happened and I had to do it over again. Many times I just wanted to get to the next cutscene.

Go to the internet cafe and type (in game)www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com, and you'll get access to maps detailing where to find every stunt jump, health pack and diseased pigeon in the game, among other things.

Awesome. Enjoy! Keep us updated.

What caused you to get it? The good reviews?

Hmm.. Think "Goodfellas" where you start as a small time crook and work your way up the ladder.

The open world might seem a little daunting at first... it's vast.

Hope you enjoy it. I haven't played any other game since I bought it.

Yeah. When Gamespot gives the game a 10, well, I'm having a look.

HypnotizedMonkey · 05-06-2008, 09:12 PM

I love this game.

JBucc · 05-06-2008, 09:12 PM

Finally got into the multiplayer. Played Cops n Crooks, GTA Race, Mafia Work, and some free roam. Cops n Crooks is great when you have a competent team. One of the times I was on the crooks team and we were driving down the road and the boss just jumped out all of a sudden and ran off. He was killed. Mafia work is alright. I played one game and when me and another guy won the first two things everyone else dropped out so it was just me and him for the rest of the time. GTA Race is lots of fun. Free Roam is what you'd expect. Oh and Turf War. Our team kicked the other team's ass.

I also tried to play hangman's noose but we couldn't get any other players. I did see the cutscene though. Its the airport scenario the only one?

Pretty much lag free as well.
