Grand Theft Auto IV

I searched and I searched but could not find a thread on the discussion of GTAIV, which did surprise me a little considering, to what I thought was an awesome game.

Just started getting into multiplayer online with it, it is really fun, however I do prefer free mode, friendly fire off, and wreaking havoc in the airport with a bunch of friends, duking it out with the police. :)

Anyway this can be a thread for discussing it, if there is not already one, but I could not find it, just a few threads discussing trophies, tournaments etc.

So... Yeh..

Sidenote: I have the PS3 version

Also a nice GTAIV picture I found on DeviantArt (NOT BY ME)

I've got the 360 version of this game, and I must say I really enjoy it. I still play it every couple of days with my friends. One of our favorite things to do is to set weapons to "powerful", turn off friendly fire, and set the spawn area to Happiness Island. We accumulate 4, 5, then 6 stars and duke it out with the helicopters and the police officers that actually survive the fall. It's really fun.

Its great doing things like that :) I just LOVE the fact you can get police after you online, it's awesome.

Its also fun turning friendly fire off and being hit by RPG's, I love watching the Euphoria engine at work ^^

The only complaint I have about the Euphoria engine is it's a bit slow. Falls take longer than they should; people seem too "feathery". Other than that, it's a really fun engine. I can still remember the first time I pushed a pedestrian down a flight of stairs.

That sounded evil.

It is a bit fiendish but I do enjoy watching to see 'how' they fall :)

Also multiplayer + friendly fire off + car + speed + other player + contact = Fun!

Yeah I have the game, I only got into it again recently partly I guess due to Trophies as I do like to be rewarded (even though the rewards are useless) for playing the game. But partly because after playing a few other games such as Prince of Persia and Fallout 3, I've started to appreciate how many things GTA IV does and does very well. Not that PoP and F3 are bad but just PoP wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be and F3 just doesn't appeal to me as much as Oblivion did.

Anyway, I'm not that far in, only and hour or two, still in the first safe house and I really am enjoying it, I just hope I don't tire of it as quickly as I did on my first try, I got to the second safehouse and just stopped caring...

Haven't really tried online yet, not a big online gamer but I saw my nephew playing it online and it looks fun enough.

Free mode is good, just doing stunts with other people, pretty fun :)

The game impressed me thoroughly, it has a ridiculous amount of quality variety. My main complaint is the shooting feels a little sluggish for some reason.

I love, for some reason going high up, and jumping :o

I like GTA4, but somehow I just got stuck at ~45% and didn't feel like continuing. I think I still prefer GTA SA for just free roaming, although the free mode in GTA4 online is just awesome.

i should really finish it but now that i have skate 2 coming and i have fallout 3 to beat and COD and LBP STILL i need to find more time. one more month til KILLZONE! AHH how am i going to ever finish GTA.

GTA IV is just the best GTA to date, I mean, the stuff you can do...
and **** those that said there is a small lifespan.
WRONG, those people didn't play multiplayer yet.

And I just love to do "matrix" with me and my friend.
RPG only, FF off and no cops.
Then we blow eachother on buildings, higher and higher :p

Haah I love doing that too, but its hard finding games :l

There's a ridiculous amount of stuff to do, the AI can react to so much in so many different ways. Just be sociopathic :o

Yeah a good game, but I was not as happy with this one as San Andreas, I just don't think it was GREAT for a new generation game. Graphics were amazing but I was not completly happy with the game.

My GTA IV disc is scratched!! Won't play now.....GRRR.....:grr:

Gta iv rules it's one of my favourite games

Hey, resurrecting a thread again but well no point in creating a new one when this one is already here.

So anyway, does anyone find this game really difficult? Some of the missions take me about 6 or 7 tries to finish :O. Like the one where you go after the drug dealer for Francis McReary in a block of flats, I died a whole load of times trying to beat that mission. Anyone else find the game difficult or do I just suck?

Hmmm, are you using the wall covering system? I actually find the game pretty easy. The best thing to do is use the system, lock on and then when you shoot just push up sightly to get the headshot in. Then usually you get quick one shot kills and save more ammo. After a while of getting used to it you'll find you'll be blasting your way through the missions :) Well, the simple run and gun ones.

I picked this game up again the other day though. Still massive fun.

yah i just started playing it again too love it still i'm determined this time to actually beat it
