GTA:IV-ever
April 28th 2008, 21:28 CEST by CheesyPoof Talk, play, bitch, whatever. The game is getting A+'s and 10/10 all over the place, including the tight wads at EuroGamer. We must also strike while the iron is hot to organize any PC play sessions, 360 only, sorry Bob. And doubly sorry to PC only gamers (sorry Dum). |

Goddammit Jibble, hitting back doesn't restore the lost post at all. Now you just won't hear my story. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|

hitting "Back" to get a lost post is browser dependent. If you're using IE, LOSE. |
|
Work won't allow me to use anything else. Also it's work's fault; some combination of proxies and firewalls and whatever is causing about 25% of my posts to be dropped. :( I guess I need to get in the habit again of ctrl-Aing my post every time. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

Hah. Brilliant. Get my personal copy of GTA home and my console decides it can't read the disc. And my 360 is out of warranty, because the extended warranty only covers the RRoD. Does it matter that the succession of previous consoles I've owned all failed because of the RRoD and I've actually lost count of which console I'm currently on? No! That'll be the best part of £100 please thank you, and see you again in three weeks. Also, I suspect that it's a policy that customer service operators exclaim in alarm when you tell them how many consoles you've been through. It conveys empathy and also makes it sound uncommon to have so many recurrent failures. - words and stuff -

Get a PS3! "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

Alternatively, force your 360 to overheat so it will be covered by warranty. This will probably only help if they completely replace your system, though. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

I seriously considered buying GTA for ps3 because of RRoD. |

Goddammit Jibble, hitting back doesn't restore the lost post at all. Now you just won't hear my story. It works in IE for me. Sorry you lost your story. :( Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

I failed a multi-part mission (grab ganja-man, drive to a place, whack three of his enemies, then drive to a house and shoot some people in the house. I died in the house bit) and had to start the mission over from scratch. Wtf? I gave up and let my friend complete it. It won't stop me from playing the game, but I think it'll be one of those things where several times through the game I'll quit in absolute disgust, groan in anger and resentment and reconsider why I even bother with fucking shit like this, and then return to the game a week later when I've cooled off a bit. Unless I'm missing an option to save checkpoints or something?? "Gaggle doesn't believe anyone should bother gaining skill in anything because anyone could gain skill in anything if they just put the time to it." - BjB

I very likely will get the PS3 edition. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|

gaggle, nope, most of the reviews complained about the lack of midmission checkpoints. In every single goddamn iteration of the series. Okay, my story sucks, so I'll share it anyway. Also I don't want to work. I picked up GTA4 over lunch and went by the food court. The guy taking my order saw the Gamestop bag and asked what game, so I told him. He mentioned that his wife was in a terrible car crash last year and is almost out of physical therapy. I thought he was going to give me crap for playing the game but then he said "As soon as the lawsuit money comes in, the first things I buy are gonna be a PS3 and GTA4. It's gonna be sweeeeeeeeet." "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

Okay, that was genuinely hilarious. "Bioshock, sadly, is no Painkiller." - BobJustBob

The guy taking my order saw the Gamestop bag and asked what game, so I told him I would have expected you tell him to mind his own business! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|

That was a great story. Bravo. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Bob: If you want to avoid losing your post, just hit refresh after your first post, and then you can double post right away. I think that the post delay was put in by Gabe ages ago as a spam limiter. |

Sandwich! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Har, 7 'crappers are online now playing GTA IV, and there's deadlock playing Hexic. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
I don't think I put in a post delay...the only anti-spam measure I recall putting in was requiring a user to be logged in to post. |
|
So far, GTA IV is fun. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

It's usually my first post that I lose. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

#96 by Shadarr Yeah, I don't like being forced to drive the cousin's cab all the damn time. It handles like a rubber boat. I had enough trouble controlling the other cars I stole that at least could make a corner going over 35. I think the payoff for this is worth it! |

SOMG SPOIALIER! "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

GZOMG SPOTLOIRARZ! Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

Once you do all of the taxi missions your taxi becomes a Transformer. |

Oh shit yeah! Can I name him optimus prime and ride on his big now red (of course) shoulder? Because if so, serious win. "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

Transformers are lame. I'd rather have a jetpack. Or jetski. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

Once you do all of the taxi missions your taxi becomes a Transformer. Sweet, just like Crackdown! Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

TreeFrog I'll carry your ammo crate. For some reason I thought you were FROM Edinburgh. Nope, I don't hold with city livin', the tree people tell me they're evil. MP3 Of The Week: Too many projects!
|

I was wondering why all the posts stopped, then I realized everyone was at home playing GTA4. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Apart from me, who doesn't have GTA4. /me wails MP3 Of The Week: Too many projects!
|

Har, PC purist getting burned by his own purism. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|
|
Just to be clear, I made that up. |
|
So, the narrative, should there be one, is taking too long to kick into gear for my tastes. It's like this game is some kind of sandbox. "Bioshock, sadly, is no Painkiller." - BobJustBob
|
|
Do you have to do the play darts and pool and shit before the missions kick in? Or is that what triggers them? I've been driving around for 2 hours waiting for something to happen...and it doesn't. Cell phone is not on sleep. Zep-- Save the cheerleader ... Save the world.

Things that suck in GTA4: no recharging health the cutscenes the cars the walking speed (too slow) the running speed (too slow) the sprinting speed (too slow) the camera Things that don't suck: the physics especially the deforming cars "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
no recharging health Why is this a requirement? |
|
I forgot (suck): the GPS that stupid little cinematic view that happens whenever you hop over anything stairs "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
GPS can be turned off (I did). What's the problem with stairs? |
|
You really don't want to ask bob to explain why he has these harebrained issues with games. |
|
You can't run up or down stairs, you have to do that stupid side-step thing that's so damn slow. As for recharging health, all games should have it. Especially sandbox games, since Saints Row did it so well. More suck: the missions (of course) the half-hold/full-hold thing to choose between aiming and locking on or shooting bowling the "oh you found a way onto another island? MOBILIZE THE TROOPS!" crap from SA is back More not suck: jumping out of moving cars (yup, physics again) the cover system "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|

Haven't even made it to a mission where I shoot someone. Cars are wonky, but I'll get used to them I'm sure. I agree with Bob on walk/run/sprint...as I mentioned about the earlier video, it's like molasses when compared to the previous games in the series. I guess I'll get used to it. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

My GTAIV just crashed. |
|
Mine didn't arrive today despite being a town away as of this morning. |
|
Mine just kinda crashed. I tried to access a police car computer and it started running so slow that it took thirty seconds to bring up the PS menu. So I had to turn the system off. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

It feels a lot different that the last gen GTA games. It'll take some getting used to. The world is a lot bigger, and that's a good thing. It's less gamey than the last games too. I don't think that there are hidden packages, nor will there be weapon powerups, rampages, cop stars or anything like that. So, a lot different. I decided to go for a drive and found myself near the airport, so I drove on to the tarmac. I ran into an airplane to see if it did collision detection (previously airplanes were ghosts) and it did. Next thing I know my car is trapped in the landing gear of a 747 and I have guys shooting at me. WTF? Well, I got 4 stars for going on the tarmac. Makes sense, but the last GTA's never gave you any stars for going behind the airport fence, so that was cool. I made it back to my apartment, but I didn't know which door was mine and I ended up getting shot outside. So it goes. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

|
There are hidden packages. |
|
Also you got stars for getting into the airport before you should have been able to / accessing other areas, in san andreas. |
|
#147 by bishop There are hidden packages. Awesome. I haven't found any yet, and I have been looking. |

One of the Fire Joe Morgan guys is a writer for The Office, and my suspicions that all the writers are Harvard buddies was confirmed by Bob Costas on HBO tonight. |
