i believe without side missions, you complete the single player around 60%. i'm still in the 30s, haven't played for a week or so, busy with work

 

i guess now that i am down with MGS4 ill go back to this game

 

I'm running out of things to do... Now I just take an 18wheeler and play destruction derby, lol

Where can I find that side mission with the girl I kidnapped earlier?

 

You will sometimes see a blue person icon on your radar. They pop up randomly.

For the girl you kidnapped, you would have to be in the vicinity of her house.

I don't think there is any way to initiate it, it is just random...

 

Anyone else think the motorcycles flat out suck in GTA4?

Everytime you try and turn in any of them you either skid or can't make sharp turns even at normal cruising speeds. You gotta slow down to a crawl to make sharp turns and they certainly don't accelerate as fast as I think they should for a motorcycle.

Also some of the cars rev up way to quickly and for far too long before they engage.

 

Don't stomp on the gas then, most of the time its because the tires are spinning.

I've never ridden a motorcycle, but I don't think you can make turns that are that sharp at speed.

 

The problem is that I can't remember the area where she lives...remind me plz?

I watch out for those green figures all the time, all of those missions are such bs.

And do they really expect me to complete the 100% by looking for some fukin pigeons?

 

She lives near that industrial plant on the far left island

In the legend on the right, open up "NPCs", then click on "Person (Contact)".

She is the bottom right contact on the far left island.

 

^^^ You are my friend, are THE man... Thank you.

 

Just beat the game....i'm guessing there are two endings...? or does the choice you make earlier eventually bring you to the same conclusion?

 

Makes a difference on what happens at the wedding

 

thanks for spoiling it, a wedding?

 

meh, it's not spoiling much.

 

anyone play cops and crooks? the team effort makes it really fun

 

I'm all done at about 63%. I'm going to start doing more side missions and probably finally start playing multiplayer now.

 

After playing the game a little more I found that you can make sharper turns on the motorcycle. You have to just lean into the turn by moving whichever thumbstick that controls the body, forward.

 

I'll have to give that a try. I never really needed to kill myself on the bikes. I just followed at a good pace and kept up until someone made a mistake. I also got pretty good for a while braking and turning.

 

Wtf? Right after the mission where you take the picture of the woman you kidnapped, I walked out to the fence (on the embankment) on the opposite side of the alley to start shooting cars on the freeway. I noticed that no one would ever call the cops on me, so I eventually moved down to street level to start shooting. Now it's impossible for me to get any stars . I can call the cops and they'll come, I point the gun at them and they'll try to kill me, but if I shoot them no stars. So weird.

Oh and if you're riding a motorcycle, you can make much sharper turns and drag your knee if you aren't on the throttle.

 

havent played this game since it came out...need to sell it or trade it.

 

I beat it (one ending) last week. Going to go for the alternate ending missions this week.

 

The first DLC is coming on the 17th


In the previews, it looks like there's a new semi-auto shotgun with a collapsible stock, a double barreled shortgun, a Spas12 with a drum mag, and some weird 1911/FiveSeven mashup with a extended barrel maybe for a suppressor.

 

Meh...

Only available for the 360...

I will have to strongly consider buying any future games from Rockstar...

I was considering buying Midnight Club LA, but definately won't if they are going to do this kind of shit...

 

is DLC on live the same price as the ones at gamestop?
if its $20, then im just gonna buy the one at gamestop since it has extra stuff in it....

 

comes out Feb 18th at 3AM EST. I know im going to download it since i'm tired of playing GTA IV

 

How much is it, does it require the original GTA IV to play?

 

"Starting February 17th, 2009 worldwide at 3:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, simply go to Xbox LIVE Marketplace with your connected Xbox 360 console and purchase the Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned download for 1600 Microsoft Points ($19.99).

Note that to play Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned requires a copy of the original Grand Theft Auto IV release for Xbox 360 - but you can play it even if you haven't finished Niko's story. "

There you go.

 

Yes

 

...guess the PS3 folks are screwed on this one

 

O yea thats right, haha that sucks i have to go get a new ethernet cable mine is shot now

 

did you guys know that this game has full frontal male nudity? hahaha, fucking hilarious if you can find the clip online, a fully rendered 3D cock and balls with full pube bush, hahaha

 

Its so hard for me to get into GTA games. I pay like 30-40%, and then i just lose interest.

 

And you enjoyed it in all of its fully rendered glory..

 

wait, why isn't this also for PS3?

 

trade-off for having blu-ray

 

I didnt even get it. Im waiting on some reviews of people that played it if its even worth it.

 

^Werd. I'm waiting a couple of weeks to see when my friends end up saying it's a waste of time and money. Will find out soon.

 

some dudes at gamestop said its ok its only 20 bucks they said if it was 50 they wouldnt get it. They said its worth the 20 though some new cars they said if i remember right

 

Concession to MS for releasing previous versions of GTA on PS2 long before releasing them for XBox (usually a six to eight month delay).
