[Official] Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

Hmm just called my semi local Best Buy. Asked the girl on the phone if they had the new GTA in stock she said yes....We have ALOT. I am really surprised.

No need to be surprised. The BB I work at received 800+ copies for PS3 and 900+ copies for 360.

I just had my first freeze. After the first cut scene for the second job for Vlad, I left the bar and it got stuck on the loading screen. Bah.

Just picked up my reserved copy from Best Buy.... looked like they only had about 10 360 copies and another 10 PS3 copies for sale that were not reserved, also saw they only had 3 SE of the PS3 version and no SE 360 versions left. only another 3 hours of work left before I can play.

Loving it, played alot of multiplayer learning the different types. Cops and Crooks is badass, as well as Hangman's NOOSE, and Bomb Da Base II (real fun). Fun game all around. Trying to do the 'Walk Free' achievement, but heli keeps spotting me at the last second.

I picked up my copy for the 360 last night/this morning at midnight at Walmart. There were maybe 8-10 other people infront of me and maybe another 6-8 behind me in line. Someone I was talking to in line said when he drove by GameStop there was probably at least 60 people outside in line. I haven't really gotten to play it yet though. I played for about 20-30mins this morning before I left for work, but that wasn't nearly enough time to get a feel for it. My initial impression is that the controls are really strange, and the cars feel weird too. But I'll check it out later. So far the story seems really interesting, and Niko's cousin has some serious issues (seems like a habitual liar lol). I can't wait til I get off work in 2hrs though so I can go home and play it.

I also noticed it felt a little sluggish just moving around and driving and stuff too. Not sure if it's by design, my 360 or if it was actually lagging. Something I need to check into when I get home.

my ps3 and gta iv are arriving tomorrow :) can anyone tell me if the game suffers from people & vehicles disappearing when they go off camera for a while like its predessesors? that sh*t really used to irk me somewhat.. thx.

It still happens but not as bas as previous games. Lets say you see a nice car that goes by you at a different direction and you try to turn around and chase it to snag it, most times you will never find it as it disappears...

There were no supply issues here in Scunthorpe. Those daft enough to queue at 12 outside Game needn't have bothered. Only Tesco had sold out. I got mine at one in the afternoon and a couple of friends got theirs later on in the evening (360 for me - PS3 for them)

I am struggling with the car handling because I have been playing Burnout Paradise for the last few months, I keep hitting the X button for the handbrake and then the A for boost - oh dear no boost.

I have also found the cars to have brakes that lock up too easily, making you plough straight on, gonna have to practice cornering. Brake a bit earlier I think.

Does anyone know how to play with friends online? It says co-op-2-4 on the back.

I hit up on the D pad go to multi player select party mode and it just loads me as some girl and my 3 friends cant do anything. Even tried to sign on in on xbox live from my xbox as well as me being online.

Is it like CoD where you can only have 1 person online per xbox?

Edit: we are all at my house trying to play - hope this clarifies it up a bit

You can't do that. You guys need to be on different 360s and play on Xbox Live. There is no split screen, there is no system link.

I just had my first freeze. After the first cut scene for the second job for Vlad, I left the bar and it got stuck on the loading screen. Bah.

I had the exact same thing happen to me, other than that no other problems at all. Played it for a while today and it's a fantastic game.. love all the little touches in it, like the way that Niko comes crashing through the windscreen when you smash into something travelling at speed :p

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
