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

[Exoduso]

What happens if you ruin one of the cars you're supposed to bring back to Brucie? Do you get to do that over or are you screwed?

[Alina]

Hmm, no clue. I'd assume they'd let you do it over. Rockstar seems to take special care and make sure there is nothing you can screw up forever, or something you can do that will make it so you can't get 100%

Exoduso I tried sending a message to play some multiplayer with you on Live... you didn't respond

Also, I forgot what the message was, I think it was me either breathing heavily into the mic or saying that you smelled nice.

lol, I couldn't even understand what you were saying. And you didn't send me a game invite >.>

[Misterjingles]

Well fuck, stupid mic. Maybe tonight, if the wifey dosen't drag me into raiding.

AND YOU NEVER SEND ME AN INVITE

[Exoduso]

Wow, I totally meant "sent".

[Hapleauce]

Holy shit the Roman's Sorrow mission actually surprised me.

(Spoiler warning down below)
The one where you drive Roman to his apartment and his business and the buildings are on fire.

Yeah this shit is getting good.

part 4 will be up soon, it just aired.

[BRP]

What's the name of the final mission? I didn't notice it being titled.

[Alina]

Spoilers: If you chose Revenge, the final mission is called Out of Commission. If you chose Deal, it's called A Revenger's Tragedy

Also, pigeons are horrible. Last 2.5%, and even with a guide most are a pain to find or get to, and let's not forget that just about every time you shoot a gun to kill one, it gets the attention of the police. Tomorrow I shall hit 100%...

[Exoduso]

THAT'S SOME RED ARMY SHIT!

[kuronosan]

So can't wait for my stimulus payment... I should be getting a PS3 soon enough.

Question... does the PS3 allow for VOIP for this game (and others)?

[Elesirdur]

THAT'S SOME RED ARMY SHIT!

YEAH DOG WE'RE ALL GENETICALLY SUPERIOR ALPHA MALE N' SHIT YEAH!...Touch my abs...

[Headspace]

Has anyone ever been crossing the street in Time Square, been hit by a car, then pinned between the car that hit you and a car in front?

I laughed for a good 5 mins after that happened. (instant death btw)

[aru]

i dont know about anyone else, but this game was my first time listening to that glukoza nostra song and i cant get it out of my head. i keep switching to the russian radio station every time i get into a car now...

[gandorf]

A friend is going through his 6th copy of the game. Everyone he gets freezes after first Cs, is their a way to fix this yet?

Yeah it does, you need a headset in order to hear other people with headsets if you don't have one you won't hear anything being said online. Which in my book is good because I don't want to have a 5 year old kids voice blaring on my TV when my bluetooth headset needs to be charged.

PS3 or 360? Regardless... It's a hardware issue & has nothing to do w/the actual game. If for the PS3, I know they released a patch for the game w/might fix your friends problems (not sure what the patch was meant to fix). If for the 360, there might be a patch released any day now. But I think some of the 360's (& maybe PS3's) just have issues playing the game. Not sure if its the older 360's or just some hardware malfunction. But returning the game for new copies won't solve the problem. Your friend should of figures this out if he has gone through 6 copies already though.

[Krandor]

A Patch for the PS3 version (to fix connection problems and the freezing glitch) is set to be released (I think it might actually be out already, have started up the game yet).


And... this.
