[Ace-o-fire]

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).

Just downloaded a Patch for the PS3 version.....18 MB.

[Kurp]

I patched my PS3 version, and was hoping it would fix the multiplayer, but so far it hasn't. The freezing is gone, but I still get the 'Connection lost to one or more players' error quite a bit. Could it be my settings or router? I'm not having the problem with CoD4, Madden, etc. just GTA4.

[Tajin]

I had no freezing problems (60GB) and tried the online mode once or twice and it send random DNAS errors, and it was a lag fest, but otherwise everything so far is ok.

I'm having trouble with two missions now, one is for PX and the other is for that idiot who takes you to the harbor.

In the first one it's pretty easy until the end, assholes keep coming from all directions and just kill me when PX says there's only 1 of them left. I think I even saw him, but he killed me before I had the chance to get close.

The harbor one is fucking stupid, easy until you get into the truck but then driving that slow piece of shit while you have 10 cars chasing you can get a little annoying, especially with low hp lol..

Anybody got some sort of strat for those two? I can probably get the first one if I try it a couple more times, but the truck one has been giving me a hard time for like 2 hours last night.

harbor one what i did was take out as many from the roof as i can. Then hop down and let the Patrick guy take care of the rest so you have High HP.

also make sure you have Nades you can chuck them out the window and the cars blow up.

[Exoduso]

Well to get the grenades I first need to beat Playboy X's mission.

[Tajin]

Ok now I did find a reason to buy the 360 version, it has less popup stuff. I'm used to that but it is still annoying.

100% GET. Too bad the Social Club isn't working, and it says I'm 0% done... If it updated, I'd be #3 in the world as far as completion time goes <_< If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

Playboy X or Dwayne?

[Alina]

I killed Playboy X, even though I liked him more. Killing him gets you: Dwayne as a friend, his safehouse, and as a bonus, Claude's outfit from GTA3 in his closet. Killing Dwayne makes Playboy not talk to you anymore, and you get a measly $25,000. I've got $1million now though, so it's not like you need the money.

part 4 up;

watch part 5 tonight on Conan.

[Tekki]

Its going to be lost on the last page.... Can't believe its not up for more discussion: $500 FUCKING MILLION on week one, with 6m+ sold........ DAMN!

[Alina]

I just hope this will in some way make it so EA doesn't devour yet another game company. For the good of the industry...

Also, anyone here who uses the Social Club, are any of your stats up to date/correct?

[BRP]

So after spending some time on Multiplayer, I have to say it's very mediocre. Not really worth playing.

[Xavier]

Strongly disagree, but its really dependent on whether you're playing with friends or not. Random games aren't so much fun, friend games w/ communication and strategy = awesome.

What are you on?

[Kazen]

I found the multi to be a blast, but I was playing with some rl friends and we all had mics.

[BRP]

I'm not talking about Free Mode, just in case anyone thinks I am. Or Hangman's NOOSE for that matter.

Here are some faults I can name off the top of my head that kill the fun:

-Night time makes the game pretty damn dark(when not near a lamp). Normally this isn't a big deal, but it's hard to see your crosshair. Actually, it's always hard to see your crosshair(I mean the actual dot). Only a problem with auto-aim off.

-Cover system is almost useless. It's main and only use I can find is during team deathmatch when one team is a block away from yours, then you have a traditional shoot out until a team pullers out a rocket launcher or a car or two. People will fair better just running up and gunning you down, unless you cover and wait until someone comes... hmmm.

-Especially with auto-aim, but even without it, the game's power gap between guns is huge. This means you will likely be looking for Assault Rifle or Rocket launcher. In fact, the Rocket launcher in this game is absolutely ridiculous. On equal terms, it's an "I win" button. In team deathmatch it wouldn't be rare for someone with the launcher to get 5 kills together. The game puts more focus on looking for stuff. Combine with +

-Maps are retarded. Especially on non-team events. They were obviously meant for single player. Why are they retarded? Because they are huge. Oh, but that might be selling point right? Not really. Every time you die, there's a chance you won't spawn in near someone. Doesn't really matter too much, since you to have any staying power you need to find guns, body armor, and health. Then you find a car and drive to some action. So it's like you spend 1-2 minutes just preparing to fight. You can skip this step and just go with your starting weapon(usually just a pistol) and no armor, but you will be at a big disadvantage.

-Might be the biggest problem: Customized rules in "Rank" play or whatever. Like auto-aim off? Too bad. Like auto-aim on? Too bad. Yay, this guy wants to play with Cops on. Awesome.

Not sure if it's been said yet, but has anyone been to the skate park on a street bike yet? I've been trying all sorts of tricks so far, have yet to pull off a double back flip yet but I have done lots of other cool shit.
