[Official] Grand Theft Auto IV

[azz0r_wugg]

I don't have a good picture of what I'm trying to convey, but I just wanted to say, I was walking through town with my boyfriend yesterday and noticed aload of GTA signs and it hit me, he looks a hell of alot like Niko. Even has the same jacket.

...I just spent a few minutes trying to find a good picture that shows it but the best I come up with suck

ah well

He's probably not as much of a badass as Niko though :p

Definitely not with that hat :laugh:

[Emorex]

I don't think he even looks like him. I must be missing something :s

[funkymunky]

[Huleboeren]

Do play.com provide track and trace numbers?

Im this close to robbing the nearest EBGames

[Razorwing]

well just 12 more hours till midnight launch.

[cashman Veteran]

I'm going to an Asda store now to see if I can persuade them to give me GTAIV early, otherwise I'm going back at midnight!!

Guess you guys could just not control yourselves and did not understand that there should be no talk about playing the game before it was released.

When I have the time to go through it all tomorrow, plenty of warnings are going to be handed out.

On top of that, to the members who continuously broke the rules and talked about it not just once but several times, those people are going to be getting a minimum of a one week time restriction from posting in the Gamers Hangout at all.

This will give you all the chance to visit the forums who do allow talking about piracy, because obviously you do not get the fact that we do not allow that here.

Way to go people. :no:

Before I start I want to say, yes I have seen people say not to argue with the mods, but it has to be brought up (and it would be nice if DL or one of the mods could post a response too)

While I haven't been active in this thread, I have been reading it a fair bit.

I don't want to get into an argument, and this will be my only post here.

However, the street date has been broken by many retailers. Meaning a lot of people have legit copies. While a few days ago most of the people talking about the gameplay hands on probably did have a pirated copy, the fact is that right now, the majority of people playing it do have a legit copy.

To ban the discussion of something because some people may have a pirated version is just silly. Using that logic, should neowin ban the discussion of any games? Since any games can be pirated.

Come on DL, use some common sense please. Its just ridiculous that people are being banned from talking about a game which they have legitimately bought, and nothing they have said or done broke any neowin rules.

It has absolutely nothing to do with me really, but I am kinda shocked to see this level of censorship happening on a forum which I feel a part of.

Ahh man sometimes I hate living here. We have a stupid by-law stating no stores can be open after midnight or else they are fined a lot of $$$. So I have to wait until 8am tomorrow morning. :(

[AJR1]

Some scans from OXM are in the 360 Console Section of the Gamers Hangout. I grabbed the mag 2 mins ago from Asda, havent even read it, scanned and upped :)

[»X«]

Just thought i would mention that Im going to get a 360 just for this game.

But I watched the "world exclusive" review from IGN. That video told me, NOTHING. All it showed me was some footage and some small information about multiplayer. The storyline and how vehicles handle and is there the ability to customise your vehicle? Or can you tone up ypur body like in GTA:SA?

Thanks for giving me **** all to go on IGN. They need to look up the definition of review before they post more **** like that. The only thing he did mention however was it was the first game ever(?) to be rated a 10 and shoudl be game of the year. Again, his opinion means nothing.

Time to start saving.

Watch the GameTrailers review, they have more detail, though that also means more spoilers... im guessing IGN tried to keep it as spoiler free as possible...

Aye Tescos told me be there for 10pm at their 'extra' store. A store which services a good 20 mile radius I should point out.. Why?

THEY ONLY HAVE 30 ****ING COPIES.

'extra' hassle more like.

My special delivery has been sent from AMAZON.co.uk :)

Is that guy in the picture urinating against the fence :o

[azz0r_wugg]

Not sure about other Asdas and Tescos, I live right near both (within 2 minutes for both).

I went into Asda and saw the woman on the gaming counter.

"Hello is it tonight or can I get a copy of GTA now...we cant sell it order, Ive got a big list of pre-orders...the ps3 preorders are full up, if I were you Id sign up, if you just turn up your wont get it at midnight....oh right...*signed up to her pre-order list*...so what if I turn up at 11.30 *wink wink* she laughed and told me that they'd get fined and will not sell a single copy before 12.

I'm looking forward to seeing the que, the pre-order list was huge.

....and if all else fails, I can try the tesco or game in town.

[AimLXJ]

Ahhh I can't wait any longer lol, I have to wait about 12 more hours until its midnight! Oh what to do, what to do.........

**EDIT**

Seems like a lot of people in my area pre-ordered the PS3 version so there is a chance I can get the 360 :)

[d4v1d05]

Woot, only 5 hours left until GTAIV... Gonna go down my local gamestation and pick it up (already preordered there since like january or something) and hope that my play.com order comes in the post tomorrow so I can sell it to my mate or just send it back to the lying ****s. They've taken my money 3 days before posting the game? Not on...

Most likely, looks like the pic was snapped at an event (Like Leeds/T in the Park/ect).

[Wulfegang]

Yay mine has shipped from Gamestop and should be getting it sometime tomorrow. Anyone else find it appropriate that the tax for it was $4.20 heh.

Wouldn't it be better if the tax was $4.29?
