[Gavin001]

Could some1 tell me wat mission Snowstorm is? I aint 2 sure if im did it yet cause i aint really did a mission yet that was extremely hard! so if some1 could explain the mission with spoiler tags or something thanks :)

[DigitalE]

Just unlocked the 2nd island :D

It's definitely better than the one you start on..

[digitalsoft]

2nd island has made the game so much better imo the first island was getting boring.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

How long does it take % wise into the game to unlock the 2nd island?

I've been messing around on the game today, playing pool and Qub3d (even got a hi-score woo lol). It's amazing the attention to detail they've put into the game with all these little mini games dotted around the place :D

[spavacer]

I was at 22% when i got to the second island.

[what]

You get onto the second island the mission after you meet Playboy X at Elizabeta's house in Bohan.

and for anyone interested, the third island is unlocked after the bank robbery mission, "Three Leaf Clover," which you do for Packie McReary.

[TogaForComfort]

Got mine at Blockbuster, did you try there if one is nearby?

I didn't think of that. I'll have a look tomorrow.

I was playing with some friends and we couldn't figure out split-screen. Is this even possible? And I noticed details are lacking in this version compared to San Andreas. Weren't you able to "pimp" out your ride with custom colors/body add-ons/ etc...? also, I remeber lifting weights, getting hair cuts and tattooos in San Andreas. I thought these were awesome components and I hope they arent left out of this version. anyone come across thses things??

They were left out... we've known this since the early previews from last year...

[soniqstylz]

Stuck on this Mission, anyone got any tips on getting it done?

Deconstruction for Beginner's - I keep dying in the actual site, its a pain in the butt! I will buy some body armor next time but I don't know if that will let me complete the mission. (It might be that I just suck!) :laugh:

After you snipe the three guys, don't go directly to the construction site. Instead, run towards the water, and find a boat to jack.

Then use the boat to go around to the back of the construction site. Towards the far side, there is an RPG (you'll need to use the boat to jump up to get it). You may need to google to find the exact location.

After taking out the first two union heads, when the helicopter comes to take the 3rd one away, use the RPG to scare the helicopter away. The last union guy will run and hide, but not very far. From here, you can somewhat take your time taking out the rest of the union workers, so you don't have to hurry.

And good riddance imo, those were the types of "gameplay features" which killed GTA for me :no:

[richardsim7]

Yeah I thought those features were a bit **** :p

3 days have passed since the release date or more if you know what I mean.

So whats the verdict? Worth a 10/10?

[Cormier6083]

I know a friend who got the special edition, and hasn't been able to play it yet. :D Sucks for him.

[Slane]

So whats the verdict? Worth a 10/10?

Yup nothing less. Nothing out comes close to touching the overall picture better than GTAIV.

[Popcorned1]

^ No.

The clear downfall of this game is the online capability, or lack of. If you manage to connect to the server you join with about 3 others. No fun at all.

8 / 10 imho

[Smashing Pumpkin]

I got to play this game for around 3 hours, then I got RRoD... :(

[acies]

I haven't even started the Online play and I'd already give this game a 9.8798767756641

So you knock it down a score because of server issues? Did you knock down COD4 when it had server issues, sure hope you did. (note trying to target you or anything, but if your knocking a score down due to server issues, that's just plain stupid. Considering how many other blockbuster hits had the same exact problem)

But anyways this game is a 10/10, if you combine everything and not single something out nothing on the market can touch it, that's why it's a 10. Not because it has excellent online system, or a franchise title, because when you look at everything as the big picture no other game can touch the depth or detail of the game. Best game I've played since COD4, and it beats that out flat.

[LightIdea]

Well I've finished the game I haven't even got the game yet!

It's on the PS3, so if you want the savegame just PM me Please don't PM me, I don't even have the game.

I love doing this :p

what?! There is actually a lot left out that was good man....the planes, the bicycles, robbing houses. I just couldn't believe they kinda back tracked. Oh well I still think it is an awesome game just kinda wished I could customize the cars. I could do without the hair tattoos etc...

Those I miss, but they aren't what I meant. I was referring to the gym / barbers etc :p

GTA4 is going back to the roots with a lot of improvements along the way. It's the same feeling going from GTA1 to GTA3 imo.

Playing online is fun as hell too :)

yeah it is crazy online. I have touble connecting somtimes but it is ridiculously fun

[Neo003]

I am glad they took that sh8t out; I was getting tired of going to gym and barber shop every freaking day (maybe every couple of days).

I love this game but there is little stuff that stills bother me thought, like when in store the loading time for changing cloth is still high. And whenever I am doing one of those really hard mission it's always and I mean always dark outside (I know it's me but it's every freking time).
