Yep, this is all I do lately. I've beaten the game, and I'm at 75%...

Are there any hidden missions? I heard that you deliver drugs packages or shit like that.... I remember I took a walk in Times Square, and there was a hidden mission where one guy was getting mugged and I kicked a few asses...but what else is hidden?

After I get about 20 choppers blown up around me, I get bored.

theres random characters you can bump into
If you are ever driving and see an icon of a person on the street corner, walk up to them. Sometimes they are friends, sometimes random people, and sometimes sick perverts. I picked up a pervert who rapes and kills little boys. I thought at the end of the mission I would be able to kill him, as soon as he got out of the car he was gone

Another is you run into that girl you kidnapped and you have to shoot a shit load of italians who she calls to get you.

Another is a rapper in times square who you help when someone shoots him. You have to kill the guys and take him to the hospital.

Just walk around and check your radar. The missions are indicated by a little green figure. I believe it's all random.

Yeah but what I screwed up on was I had to call the mob daughter first. It took me a long time to figure that out.

Anyway I am stuck on the diamon mission. That mission is HARD. Whats really annoying is when your shotting and cops see so they show up.

his name is ethos. and im hoping his character developes further into the game. seems really cool

and having him named ethos is a great paradox in contrast to the so called "gangster rappers" its kind of like an ironic comparison. i love it

On an investor's call Thursday, Take Two CEO Ben Feder told reporters that the exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV episodic content for Xbox 360 would arrive in Q1 2009.

Since company calendars go by the fiscal year, that means DLC for GTA IV on Xbox 360 will arrive in November 2008 at the earliest. Feder did not delve into any further details, including any possibility of future PS3 DLC.

Alright another question. Has anyone else noticed that you have to turn your volume up when listening to people talk? Then once your done listening to your instructions you have to turn it back down again? Has anyone fixed this by messing with their volume controls? I have tried but cant seem to get it.

Alright, just thought of a feature that would have made stunts and random pandemonium worthwhile, REPLAYS.

I once did a stunt, and exactly where I was going to land there was some short, fat black dude just standing there and right before I was gonna land the dude saw me and screamed "Oh shit" and dived out of the way just before I landed. It would have been awesome to have a replay with sound of that.

Rant time with spoilers...

So I finnally get to do the mission where you choose between cash or death and I choose death. This must have been my 5th time doing it and I FINALLY get to demetri. He say ssomething and its on. I start shooting his guys and it seems hes the only one left. So I finally decide alrigh I am gonig in. Well it turns out I had to reload so he shots me and then someone else thats left comes in from BEHIND and kills me. I was sooooo pissed and so close. Oh well its time to go try again.

I don't really like the grenades as I always seem to thrown them bad and they bounce back at me...

Great for dropping out the car window though!

I do... I have tried both ways aiming at the person and free aiming near them, both ways end up having the grenade bounce back to me half the time...

On the funny side, I did throw one once and hit the guy in the head with it!

Buahahahah 37 kills, 16 deaths.

btw the key to getting a lot of kills is shooting right. Im taking down 2-3 guys at once because they all just spray and pray. Always free aim, put the reticule over their heads and shoot bursts . You won't hit jack if you just hold down the trigger, I've been getting kills from a block and a half away with smg's.

Just bought a PS3 and GTA, I guess i'm pretty far in the SP. Given that I didn't do any side missions, how long is the actual SP (%-wise) ?
