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).

You have to get out of the car and watch a cutscene when you visit Jacob.

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."

Well, that part of the equation cancels out.  You can either fuck around calling Jacob or you can speed through traffic to an armor drop.  I'd rather do the latter.

True.. Did you look up the armor drops? I couldn't find any without cheating.

I found one or two on the first island. The one I remember was at the bottom of a stairwell in an alley though. Not very car-friendly.

I marked them all on my map for the first two islands but I haven't done it for algonquin yet. I wish I had a safehouse on broker still.

I didn't find anything without looking online except two pigeons and a bat.  And I haven't picked up the bat, because I like the knife better.

So after saying that, I found grenades in the construction zone that blocks the street south of the comedy club.

This is probably years and years out of date, but I just watched the first episode of Wonderfalls and rather liked it.


On that note, and veering surprisingly on topic, I'll go play GTAIV.

Between GTAIV, WoW and Wonderfalls I've chosen to watch In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Sige Tale. I'm unsure why exactly I went this route.

I found it a tolerable movie. I expected Burt Reynolds to phone it in, and he really didn't.

I'd like to watch through all of Miami Vice again. I so loved this show! My dad let me watch it, even though it was a bit bloody. Even back then, as a kid, I could appreciate the greatness of its settings, driving scenes with silent characters and Phil Collins playing in the background... Then of course the clothes, that strange "Noogie" or "Nukeman" or however he was called (wasn't the character killed?), Stan and his van... I remember being shit scared of the scar-faced, grumbling Edward J. Olmos who was always stone cold and deadly calm but somehow always seemed dangerous and menacing to me, the boat races...

This show truly had it all. It's unrepeatable.

All you need to do it watch a few show of Miami Vice to know it should stay in the 80's. And why the fuck was it vice? It should have been called Miami Narc.

I tried that hospital mission in GTA. It was annoying but I was able to get out of the hospital on my first try only to find a Bobcat outside waiting for me. Needless to say evading a 3 star chase in a Bobcat was very frustrating. I had a sliver of health left and made my boneheaded move of the day. Given how the game likes to spawn cop cars in front of you, when I got outside of the search radius (for the second time) I thought it would be a great idea to ditch my car and get into a different one. So, instead of stopping the car I push the button to bail. Before the animation completes I know what a dumb ass move that was as I watch Nico tumble out of the car and see the life knocked out of him causing a fission mailed. Sigh.

I also learned that during a delivery mission for Little Jacob that cars no longer double as armor. I was hemmed in by some gang members and didn't have any armor so I got in a car only to find myself getting shot through the windshield and dying.

Yeah, that was a slightly cheesy but nice mechanic in Saints Row.  You could sit in your car, headshot guys through their windshields and not take any damage yourself.  When your car caught fire you just get another one.  In this game there's really no advantage to staying in the car unless you're chasing someone.

I just did a mission on the third island where I had to lose a three star level and thought going to the pay n spray would be a good idea.  However both times I tried to go in there the cops were too close and saw me, so then I just drove really fast until I got out of the search area.  Actually, at first it was just two stars but the first time I went to go into the pay n spray I thought it would be a good idea to kill the cops who were there.  But as soon as I did I got the third star and about five more cop cars showed up immediately.

You obviously didn't see the episodes where they dealt with things like stolen goods and prostitution. You know, Vices.

And of course it should "stay in the 80s". It's an artifact of the 80s, and when viewed it should be seen as such. My thing is, who the hell told Don Johnson he looked COOL in pastel pink muscle shirts?

Miami Vice was all about taking down drug lords and posing a fancy coke dealers. Pfffttt.

I shouldn't say cars aren't useful as armor, they still can be, but you have to be outside it and in cover. And as long as no one is behind capping your ass you will be fine.  I like it better when getting in a car mean I was in a protective cocoon.

And the whole thing with Pay & Spray, ugh, that shit needs to be patched out ASAP.

Are you shitting me? Millions upon millions of bugs? With their horrible spindly legs and beady eyes? Fuck that noise.

In other news, my horse got trapped inside Leyawiin. God only knows how that happened. The official forum was no use for finding a solution due to its crappy search engine, but Google revealed the existence of a "moveto player" command, so all is now well again. Magery appears to be far more effective than archery, but the game really, REALLY needs more than 8 hotkeys.

And that's good?

I like the fact that you can get taken down pretty easily in a car - it makes road blocks altogether more dangerous things - when you see one, it's often better to turn around than to try and barge through it.

Have any of you tried multiplayer yet? We should have a PC game of Cops and Crooks. The Some Fuckers Gotta Die Brigade should play as cops, headed up by G-Man, since he is the closest definition we have here to the Law. They'd be up against the posters with wantonly criminal tendencies such as Dum, bago, Matt P, Ds, Shadarr and headed up by Ray for facepunching reasons.

It'll never happen, of course.

This is blasphemy!

Miami Vice indeed hasn't aged too well in the clothes department, and some younger viewers might thinks the characters escaped from a circus, but if you have lived the 80's you know people did dress like that, ie. really crappy. I mean, look at Terminator 1: it's a great film but it has aged badly. Just look at Sarah's hair or listen to the music in the Tech Noir. The other day I watched "Bachelor Party" with Tom Hanks and it's just like this, too. You can't single out Miami Vice for being a child of the 80s.

Miami Vice was all about taking down drug lords and posing a fancy coke dealers. Pfffttt.

That's infinitely more interesting than seeing Eric Estrada as a motorcycle cop writing speeding tickets.

You guys must really hate Scarface.

And that's good?

Death comes far too easily in GTA4. It's hard to get a nice rampage going when a single cop can easily take off half your health.
