Niko's Room - Grand Theft Auto IV Thread

[Jenson71]

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.

You assholes are going to make me buy it right after I get out of work.

I knew many people would lose their lives that night.

i sideswiped a cop and had them on me. I crashed the car and had to leave Roman, i got to the ocean and dove into the water tried to swim across, by the time i got to the other side the coast guard shot me down in the water and i died. It was amazing. When i got out of the hospital, i called Roman, and he was pissed becuase i left him. lol

LOL
I think something similar happened to me while driving drunk but some how i fell off a 10+ story ledge and survived.. the cops couldn't reach me and Roman was left up there with the pigs. I got a message telling me that i should go back and meet with Roman. Not a second later, Roman comes crashing down the same way I did (maybe the cops pushed him off?).. he didn't make it. I took his money and got a call from him the next day. Had to pick him up from the hospital

I posted this in UP's GTA thread:

Alright, I just got done with about 3 hours of Multiplayer. The single player alone is worth $60, but I have to say I haven't had this much fun playing a console game online in....ever?

I preferred Free-for-all, which allows up to 16 players in the city at a time to do whatever they please. We had a group of 4 or 5 people that were friends trying to roll together, but after bazooking their vehicles numerous times they decided to kick me. Argh. I prefer befriending other online players (You can talk to them privately using your cell) to tear the city up, then murdering them in cold blood in an epic heel turn (cue Jim Ross, "OH MY GAWWWWD").

I also got to ride passenger in the helicopter with some guy, but he got mad when I changed the radio station, jumped out of the 'copter and let me plunge to my death (The city view from above is AMAZING).

Sooooo many moments in online play that make you laugh your ass off at what is going on, and I've only played a couple different modes.

Ok yeah....I'm definitely buying it tonight after work.

we played death match lastnight and we had nothing but rocket launchers. So all you seen was rockets going everywhere, It was a blast. I would shoot the rocket into the wall if i had someone next to me trying to stab me and blow both of us up lol

I ran over someone in Deathmatch once, but while the jerk was RIDING MY ROOF he ended up reaching down and shooting me. We died simultaneously.

Also, I absolutely LOVE the cover mechanic in the middle of a seven-sided firefight. Running to a low wall, sliding, and positioning myself under it is so ****ing cool and so ****ing natural.

Speaking of "****ing cool," every time I die it looks so great I can't help but laugh. The death cam is brilliant. No matter whether I'm running someone over or getting run over, the game is hilarious and so engaging. I couldn't believe thirty minutes had passed the first time I played deathmatch.

That comes shortly after "Crime and Punishment," in the mission line that results from it.

Drunk driving is effing crazy!! Even after the sick camera effect wears off you still drive like shit.

The damned cops kept coming after me every time I got close to the taxi station. I would have to go tearing ass thru town to ditch the piggies... each time leaving a wake of busted vehicles and splattered pedestrians. On the (what seems like) tenth try I finally dropped the fat bastard off w/o initiating a piggie chase. I had to switch cars at least four times.

[TinyEvel]

okay. I'm gonna have to put like six late night hours into this game and catch up to you guys. It trips me out because Roman looks and sounds EXACTLY like this Croatian drug dealer MY FRIEND used to get his blow from

So far my favorite radio station is JAR.

My favorite radio station of all GTAs is KJAH from III. "You are a no good, you are a no go-o-od. The things that you do in front of me."

[QuikSsurfer]
