My personal Grand Theft Auto IV thoughts and impressions » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « My foray into Liberty City last night proved to be the best gaming experience I've had for 2008. Sure I was pretty skeptical at first upon hearing the ridiculously lavish praises the reviewers gave this but I can certainly see the reason for their enthusiasm. Ok first the pet peeves: 1. I don't know if it's just my monitor, but the pixels seem to be a lot more prominent than the trailers I've watched for the game. A little unsettling at first, but I got used to it and it's never a reason to hate the game. 2. Online multiplayer has been inaccessible out of the umpteen times I tried. Ok those things aside, it's practically just awesome-sauce all the way through. My jaw literally DROPPED when I saw a police car drove pass me and the driver dropped the coffee cup onto the road. I pulled out my gun and shot the coffee cup and it bounced off, responding to the momentum caused by the bullet. It's the little details that just astounds me. I bought this nifty russian hat and when I got run down ..... MY HAT GOT KNOCKED OFF! can't pick it up though. One other time I was speeding really really fast and slammed sideways into concrete wall really hard until my police car was resting at an angle to the wall, making my car tilt sideways, Poor niko was thrown out the driver's left seat window onto the pavement and went UNDER THE WHEEL of the police car. Instantly died. You don't clip through passenger doors anymore, it blocks your movement. I LOL'd hard when I died fighting a pedestrian but in the seconds before I blacked out the police came and he shouted, "HEY I'm ON TV!!!" FUN TIP! Want a police car fast? I discovered this myself. (really REALLY feels awesome when u discover little things like this) bring up your phone and dial 911. Press 1 for police, Within seconds a police car came and when he found nothing he said, "f***ing prank callers! ". I crept up his back, got into the driver's seat and sped away. 1 star, easy to evade.

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	went in just now, multiplayer can get to character customization screen. I ran over this guy, I thought he was dead since he dropped money. I came over to him to take the money . I pulled out a gun to see if corpses react to gunshots. When I took aim to his head I saw he was still alive. His eyes were blinking and he was moving a little. Starting feel guilt already. Running over girls feels worse. The euphoria engine made running over people feel so much more realistic it gets a little disturbing. You're not running over mannequins now, but living breathing people that react to the hit , emotionally, their faces wincing in pain. aaaaagh!

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	actually I don't get why people choose region 1 over region 2 as well. They get first dibs on downloadable content? Doesnt seem like it to me. Like MGSIV beta update, all region gets it at the same time, as well as other games. It's not just GTA IV, other games as well fall under this stigma. Please don't tell me just because it's USA.

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	LOL! So you were OverDOS! How the heck do u greet ppl ar? Your character said hello in game, wanted to reply I dunno how so I just jumped twice to signal hello. really kesian at jeerie, he tried so hard to invite me and I also tried to invite him a lot of times. But we just can't meet online, there was ONE time tough we got to the lobby and I heard his voice. "aku pun taktau apa apa lagi dowh" I replied " aku pun" then the line went dead. Aaaanyways, that MP region lock isn't true. neoardi got his region 1 copy and he, muchi, snipersnake, solidsnake-MY and a few others joined my game last night successfully. GTA Race was teh funnay. I didnt pay attention to the gps for a few seconds and suddenly I got lost (painful memory flash of a lost burnout paradise race). Realizing I was gonna be last I decided to build a barricade but took too long. Neo blasted through as well as muchi, clearing the path for the rest. Turf war was a blast though, I really wanted to try crooks and robbers but ppl dropped out already. Best moment : one of the nicknames with "snake" in it sped a Humvee towards me, about barely 8 metres away from me my sniper bullet got a lucky shot through the windshield to the head, killing him and veering him off path harmlessly.

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	I'm quite surprised no one mentioned how good the fire is yet in-game. It's practically the best looking fire I've seen in game yet. I once drove over a puddle of molotov cocktail oil that is on fire and my wheels caught fire. For a few seconds I was driving a taxi that had flaming wheels. BADASS. Then they burst and suddenly I was driving on metallic rims, sparks flying from metal brushing against tar.

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	anyone dialed the ZiT number in game? Something will happen to your rockstar social club account if u do so. If ur living in the states or uk, there is a 100% club contest that is currently going on. If u get 100% complete before one week after release u can win a key to the city (keychain).

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	QUOTE(schrodinger_cat @ May 3 2008, 01:49 PM) Haihz...anyone experience any freezing yet? It sucks to be the 1st victim... no ur not the first one, I just kept quiet about mine. It was quite early on, during the cutscene for one of the earlier missions. cutscene froze but sound kept playing. I just restarted my game and all went fine. other than a few hiccups at the beginning during gameplay is all I got. Smooth sailing onwards, even multiplayer was smooth. (once u get in, that is). Multplayer battles are just epic man, just epic! It's like living though the best parts of all action movies that mankind ever made. Die Hard series, Mission impossible series, The Transporter series, oh man!!!! Worst part of all is the waiting to play GTA IV. I actually put up my hands in agony while watching Iron Man, during the part where all the jeeps and SUVs got thrown here and there in the streets. I suddenly felt like playing GTA IV soooo much!!

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	I'm on 40GB SG PS3 as well. hurmmm... well one possible cause I can see is ur hard disk may have too little space left or got fragmented. Did u happen to really use ur hard disk for lots of other stuff, moving files and copying files? try and free up a LOT of space, clear ur web browser cache, disable the RSS ticker, and then install the game offline. Gah, this sounds like a pc remedy. LOL! I've fixed quite a number of pc problems in my days though. This post has been edited by slickz: May 3 2008, 02:17 PM

Exalted Senior Elite Member Senior Member 2,149 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Behind you! Look!	urghhh now I'm facing freezing problems. Here's everything I know about the issue : 1. PS3 40GB SG 2. SG PSN ID 3. Started after I associated my PSN ID to my Rockstar Social Club 4. Blu ray internet access set to confirm 5. RSS ticker disabled 6. lots of HDD space left (several gigs) 7. Froze once after switch radio to VIBE. 8. Froze again while driving banshee at high speed 9. Soft reset to retry 10. Logged off PSN, went fine. No more freezes. 11. Didnt attempt multiplayer at all prior to freezing. 12. freeze seems to happen a few minutes after loading savegame and continuing single player progress. I think they didnt beta test with massive players like what MGO did. Its the integration with Rockstar's Social Club is what is causing the problem. I noticed there was even a site in the social club that tracks criminal activities in Liberty City. Clearly all this data is taken from us playing the game. You can even dial the ZiT number and then it will spot the currently playing song, telling u the name of the song, and then the song will be available for purchase via a link that appears in your Rockstar Social Club account. I say give them time to fix their boo boo. Enjoy the single player first. It's the meat of the game anyways, multiplayer is well made but they underestimated the load on their servers I think.

QUOTE(vorchiel @ May 4 2008, 03:10 PM) I noticed that the problem started when I linked my PSN account with Rockstar Social Club. Timeout/truncated data from RSC/PSN will cause the game to froze maybe. Last week it was okay because the servers managed to cope with the traffic. They have to add more servers or fix the game. my thoughts exactleyh. cue Niko Bellic's accent Gud ting dis Grand Theft Autoh gaym is still has veri gud single playor or I f***ing kill de rockstars.
