wat? Its a built in feature of the console. How is it not safe?
Well people have found it and told other people about it.
It has never once been said by sony that the PS3 has this feature.

It only works on the 40GB version.

What the fuck is so cool about the Obituary videos? I've only watched the first one, and all it is is shit that you see all the time when you play GTA 4. Why is it so special? Seriously? You guys are insane sheep, take off the fucking rose tinted glasses. I hate when communities hype up shit just because everyone else does.

What's the difference between police patrol and police cruiser?
Cruiser = Old style police car, sounds better and has more of a 90's look to it

Patrol = The more modern looking police car, slightly shorter too

Cruiser = Crown Vic

Patrol = Impala

Just finished the game.
It was lol though
Spoiler (highlight to read):
I killed Dmitri, so that triggers Kate's death. The second I killed Jimmy, I get a call from Kate to go on a date with her. I accept and there she is, sure as shit. I tried calling her back, but her number was erased.

this game isn't a multiplayer focussed game that's why.

Rockstars already made their $600 billion, and we have all finished it.

I don't feel it has the same replay value of SA, but that might be just me.

Well, they ARE releasing DLC for it on the 360 and probably PS3 eventually...and plus, apparentely there IS a PC version coming out.

I still gotta finish it.

I have fun doing random stuff in it. Just seems that the shift from 'hyper real cartoon shit' to 'zomg almost photorealistic' damaged the series. I preferred San Andreas' graphical style to GTA4's.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Really? I love GTA IV's new graphics...and they're hardly photorealistic, btw.

The gameplayer and mission variety was better in SA, but the graphics, physics and everything else is better in IV.

Yes but I don't think that the new art direction actually fits with the gameplay or the stereotypes.

Thats what i said, i was playing at my mates and was like, 'why can a russian immigrant fly a blackhawk'

but then again why can a black gangster or an italian 80's drug runner.

Actually, Niko has more reason to be flying/shooting shit properly than any other GTA character. He was in a war tbh.

No, and that's what I hated about SA...all of a sudden this black guy from the hood can fly fucking HARRIERS? Please. I understand there's that whole "flight school" thing which kind of helped with the fact that he could fly maybe the Dodo, but a AT-400, Nevada or a Shamal? Uh, yeah...no.

Niko I can understand though...he must have some flight experience from being in the military.

And by the way, it was "big mouthed prick", not "annoying dick".

jord: Member; +2,382|6880|The North, beyond the wall.

I gotta say the re-playability factor seems to have gone. I could spend hours on GTA SA doing random shit: Flying jets than vertical landing as some guys tried to take my hood and I rapid fire missled them all. Playing casino games, getting off road police chases, doing all the funny cheats (Riot mode, civilians with guns, cars can fly, BMX can jump 100 feet).

Now alls I can do is go to happiness island and run people over which kinda gets boring after 10 minutes. Go to my sniper spot and rape everyone. Start a police chase. Or do a friend activity- lol I'll pass.

Not that it wasn't a great game first time around.

As trivial as they were I actually enjoyed the boat/bike/car/flight school. I miss those things from SA. SA gameplay with GTA IV graphics is what I'd like to play.

Negative. (@ poseidon)

Vlad: "For a stupid immigrant, you aren't that stupid"

Niko: "And for an annoying dick, you are an annoying dick"

(obviously not 100% accurate)

Just the way he says it. I lol everytime.

_______________

Yep, me too Flemish. I want eating, gym, bmx, triathlons, parachutes, planes, jetpacks, all that shit. lol

Not that 4 was bad, just as Jord said, less replay value.

Yeah agreed, SA had far far far more replay value.

I thought you were talking about when he asks Niko what his name is and he says his name is "big mouth prick".

Holy shit planes were so hard to fly on the PC version.
Helicopter's aren't a breeze on the 360 either.

Finished playing ages ago, didn't complete it. Was one of the biggest let downs ever, it has ZERO replay value, every mission is the same thing over and over; go somewhere and kill someone, just in a variety of ways.

I still maintain that Rockstar should stay away from realism, that isn't what GTA is about, so I say that Vice City > All.

I play it occasionally when i'm really bored. I stick it on, use a helicopter cheat and fly about for a bit throwing myself out of the chopper into buildings.

But yes. No replay value at all. Very disappointing.
