I hope everyone got a good sleep to refresh from Tuesday?s crazy day full of launch parties, multiplayer problems, system lock-ups and vast amounts of phone calls to Rockstar support line! Some of us had such an experience yesterday that our Grand Theft Auto IV experience carried right into "dreamland" as we have continued experiencing GTA even in our sleep.

VipeNess and I are just 2 of those lucky few who did not annoyingly have to take a break from GTA IV when going to bed. We dreamt of scenery and races and being Niko Belic for 8 hours in which time we got to meet some of his friends like Roman, Michelle and Little Jacob but also some of his enemies such as Vlad and other bosses that wanted our head! I am really mad that Funland was still closed in my dream?.oh how I would have wanted to ride that Ferris Wheel?..sigh.

We have decided that it would be a shame if we didn?t have a way of sharing our unique first-hand experiences actually being inside the game, if we didn?t have some sort of way of collecting all that and neatly organizing it for you guys. You can leave comments about your own GTA IV dreamland experience and at the end we will pick the best one which will be featured in one of our episodes.

this is the dumbest thread i've seen. Played GTA4 at a friends house for 4 hours yesterday, I actually prefer San Andreas. GTA4 felt like more of the same stuff. I wasn't impressed.

Thank you :p GTA 4 is much improved over the older versions, first of all, it has multiplayer which is a whole new world of content and activities. Second, there is the cell phone which makes it easy to communicate with people and also opens up alot of possibilities. Then you have the level of detail which again is on a whole new level of great. There are glitches here and there but nothing that can't be fixed with patches. The amount of things you can do inside the game is pretty amazing. I don't want to post anymore info about content because that will spoil the game for people. You just have to play it if you want to enjoy it. It's a game that gets better as you progress.

I dreamed about games when I was 12, now I think about reality, dreaming about games is a waste of time IMO

Although, secretly I still dream about a FF7 remake - But THAT'S IT! :laugh:

I think you sir need to get laid on a bed and be allowed to dream whatever you wish... :shifty:

no but seriously find yourself a girlfriend... :hmmm:

Haha you know what bothers me about people like you? It's that there are so many of you....it's not what you people say that bother me but that so many people are like you....you know, pathetic. How could you possibly know if I have a girlfriend or not? How could you possibly know anything about my life? It is your right to post anything you want, no doubt, but don't expect anyone to pay attention or appraise you. Judging by the amount of time your put into your post and the little thought that went into it shows that you have dedication but unfortunately that energy is dedicated in the wrong direction...

What a load of rubbish :|

Instead of spending all that time attempting and failing to be smart, you might want to you know maybe try and fix those broken sarcasm detectors :huh: no?

Geez I think all of Neowin needs to pull together enough strength so maybe then we can pull your head out of your own arse? :hmmm:
