[Official] Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

Ok, thanks I guess I will just try to hangout with whoever is alive. Also, for random characters if they die or I do something incorrectly on one of their missions, am I screwed out of the achievement? I am talking specifically with the random meeting of faustins wife, apparently you aren't supposed to kill the guy, just chase him?

i don't get it... playboy told me he wants Dwayne dead and dwayne called me to say he wants playboy dead but so far no mission has come up for me to kill either. i just killed the francis dude instead of his brother...

It will eventually happen, Playboy will call you up to make your final decision.

Maybe put some spoiler tags on that...

hmm, interesting.

I didn't think it waited that long.

The first time I got a call after a bit fo time, but the second time I just gave Playboy a call after they both called me and got going.

Basically had the most boring experience yet. I'm working on getting all the cars through texts (not on the Internet) and I had to start from the very first one. Not sure how many I did (did it for like 2-3 hours), but I should be close to the end. Trust me though, about wanted to gouge my eyes out a one point because it just keeps dragging on and on. :p

Well, the idea is that you don't try and get them all in one sitting...

I'm doing the friends stuff right now, not sure if i'll keep on with it though, takes way too long when you haven't been paying attention to them for the entire game and suddenly decide to get them to 90% like. Current stance is;

-roman 92%

-little jacob 87%

-brucie 77%

-packie 20%

-dwayne 24%

packie and dwayne annoy me so i doubt i'll get them to 90%

Getting the 20 races online is taking a while, ive won about 6 races and 3 Gta races if they count. Finding people on normal races are losing and deciding to race around the track backwards.

On gta races on exhaustfumes with high traffic leave a car on the freeway where the lanes join for a Massive pullup.

Guys, I am trying to get the races achievement (not the online one), but every time I call Brucie he never has anymore for me. I mean I have done like 6 or 7 and he hasn't got one for me in literally like 10 hours of playing.

I don't think I have that one either. I kept cound and did 7. Everytime I called him he didn't have anything for me. Only need 9 (i think) for the achievement so I was annoyed he never called nor had anything for me when I called.

I'm going to go look it up on GameFAQS to see what I can find about doing them.

^^^The achievement says there's 20 races though...

Oh, and one of the stats pages in the start menu has all the races listed.

Thanks, I just realized that after posting.

You get an achivement after 9 races

but then you need another 11 races for the 100% achievement

I didn't get an achievement after 9 because Brucie sent me a text saying I completed them all. I guess I have to go back through and do the races 11 more times. Can I just do the same one 11 more times?

Did anyone hear of a rumor what the release date is for the PC version?

I think it is safe to assume 6-8 months.

Yeah. You just need to come in first place in 20 races, it doesn't matter which ones. You can check how many you have won under Stats, I think under the Scores sub-category. There is no achievement for completing all 9 races.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
