I was playing this morning, was going to go online and it froze.

i just killed playboy

So i tried reloading my save and guess what, it doesn't load, i waited and waited incase it did, but it definately had died.

I decided to start again after that and have been playing non stop for the last 7-8 hours, and it just froze the ps, and yet again i have lost my save.

I am not a happy bunny. -_-

Can someone tell me if you can have more than one "single" player game saved at one time, on the 360. So multiple people can play the single player mode without them completing missions on my save. I hope that makes sense because it's pretty hard to word :s

Anyone know if using cheats actually doesn?t effect your game % when you've completed it..? Got to 45% now but i want to be able to use the Armour cheat as its annoying keep going to the store...

I'd like to know too, I was at a friends when he typed in the Armour/Health cheat and it popped up saying it has blocked achievements. Does this mean for the rest of the game or whilst you are attempting to complete an achievement? For example completing 10 combat battles in 4 minutes, if I had used the health cheat earlier int he game but not during these ten kills would I get the achievement? Same applies for surviving 5 minutes on a 6 star wanted level and using the ''decrease wanted level'' cheat.

They both will affect you getting achievements. Not sure if they will affect you getting 100%, but if your going for achievements, not going to happen. There's one or two that won't affect a couple of achievements, but most do.

I'm beginning to wonder why it is getting such high scores, after playing it since release I've had freezes, been stuck at the loading screen, failed missions because of dumb AI, smacked into rubble that appeared by magic, the controls on foot feel clunky and the cover system doesn't feel right. I could go on but I'll only get shot down :p

Sure GTA IV is a good game but I think "hype" is contributing to these review scores.

My Xbox 360 is currently broken (freezing problem). According to Xbox tech support, it's going to cost me $110 CAD to get it fixed. I'm tempted to get it fixed and buy GTA IV. My question is, would it be worth $110 + $59.99 just for GTA IV? I've read reviews all over the place and I constantly see good things. It even got a 10/10 on IGN & Gamespot.

I kind of agree. The controls can sometimes drive me insane... Trying to climb down a ladder never seems to work for me. Once I pressed Y to go down, but instead of getting on the ladder Niko decided to run in a circle and fall off down the hole (it was on top of a crane) which killed me :p I was not happy.

Finally Got a Copy. My Local Tescos got 2 copies in for the 360 and I managed to snag one.

I have been playing it all day and am very impressed.

The driving took a while to get the hang of, but I think I have it sussed now.

The only thing I don't really like is the effect they have used on anything more than a few feet from you. It's looks like a painting. (I think this has been covered to death in a different thread)

Spent most of my playing time going on rampages and playing online. Only got to the part where you meet Brucie in single player

I think you've just been unlucky. The controls aren't perfect, and the AI isn't always Einstein, but for me the good defiantly out weighs the bad.

      Ok.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
