Grand Theft Auto IV Release (Okay, now it's out)

[Alina]

For the wheelie achievement, go to the airport. At the big tower near where the runways intersect, there's a few cars and a motorcycle there. You can easily do the wheelie down the runway. Just get to max speed and hold back on the control stick til you get it. Also, this is a good place to get your Rolled Over and Walk Free achievements.

I don't know if you've done this, but the instant you drive onto the runway you get a four star wanted level.

Oh yes I died many times when going for my stunt achievement, simply because the cops would shoot out my tires, and I'd get swarmed trying to get a new vehicle. But for more specifics on how to get the stunt one, get any vehicle that is relatively fast like the taxi, police car, and the FlyUS vehicles (I did it with the FlyUS van), and on the grassy parts of the runway there are the little yellow ramps. Get up to full speed and barely hit one of your wheels on it. It will take a bit of practice. I got 4 flips so many times, but when I did it, I think I did about 8 flips/rolls.

The online racing achievements are really annoying though. Join the Midnight Club is nigh impossible, unless you can somehow get host on a helicopter match, and be able to start it with only 2 or 3 people. Why? Because in 16 player, someone ALWAYS wrecks you. I was very close to getting it in a 2 player match, but the douchebag behind me rammed into me, and crashed us both...

I have heard it on the radio once now... them talking about a number you can dial to get the name of a song that is playing? Has anyone done this? I thought they said it was 555-0100 but that didn't work. Is it possible that that is the right number but i need a phone upgrade or something?

Might be the right number with a different area code

Just beat the game, missed the 30 hour achievement by 8 minutes,

Mod edit : DO NOT POST SPOILERS WITHOUT WARNING


either due to dating Michelle (Caren), or the fact i was stuck on "Three Leaf Clover" (Bank Heist) for an hour due to dumb mistakes.

Good game, good story, just wish the cover system wasn't so...weak, like I get mad shot up when in full cover, and the lock on system got me killed a few times due to locking on far targets instead of the guy point blank with the shotgun.

Don't know what paths you guys took, I sparred the guy Vlad sent me to kill, I killed Playboy X, killed Darko, killed Dimitri, thus forcing me to fight Pagorino at the Liberty. I assume if you worked with Dimitri, someone else would've killed the girl.

Good game, time to do Multiplayer, my only wish was that I could've got to kill Michelle (Caren).

My eyes bleed from spoilers

[Doombear]

Oh God Katlan... i completely skimmed right past that in your post...

Thank you >.>;

[wintersquall]

FFS... agree with Kat.

HARDCORE, MARK OR EDIT THAT SHIT or someone mod it.

[Doombear]

Thankfully i skimmed that too... edit please...

And I did not know you could "dial up" cars. Does that count towards a cheat though?

Yes it does

Spawning car's does not block any achievements, every other type of cheat does block certain achievements though

I'm on the PS3 so I'm not sure if it will block achievements. Just know that I used the bike code and now on my phone it has a cheats option with the bike in there.

I just spent an hour watching t.v. while playing the game.

Literally, I played a video game and in that video game I watched t.v. It was surreal. I highly recommend it, there's some hilarious stuff to watch. It's like the radio only better.

[Pyro]

The Republican Space Rangers cartoon is a fucked up cartoon that they show on the television.

[Alina]

Man, some of these later missions are just pure awesome... Don't want to spoil anything though, but holy crap!

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

So some friends and myself are fucking around on free roam trying to get 6 stars. It's not working out so sell. Any advice?

[Krandor]

I've only managed to reach 5 stars before a pair of helicopter gunships took me down : /

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

It's always the cops with shotguns on the other side of the street that get me. Shotguns are like sniper rifles in this game.

Did you ever play Rainbow 6 Vegas 1?

And man, this game has some hilarious characters. One of the later mission givers... completely unexpected. However, even amidst the hilarity, one of these missions really makes Niko stand out as a great character. Rockstar's writing team is amazing.

[Keno]

I got 6 stars by just nading a bunch of cop cars and using my AR on anything else that moved. I then proceeded to try and flee, at which point they pushed my car off the bridge and into the water...... where I was gunned down by a police speed boat. It was awesome.

PS3/360 comparison video.

I won't say anything in fear of being called a fanboy, but you all know what I'm thinking after watching that.

360: Higher resolution, longer draw distance.
PS3: Faster frame rate, advanced dynamic lighting.

I bought the PS3 version but if I had to do it over again I'd take the 360 version for the better controller (360 controller is far superior to PS3 in every way possible), better multi-player community, and I prefer higher res and draw distance to frame rate and lighting.
