i got 6 stars on this thing last night. kind of amazing to me since i don't play it very often and very surprising to my friend whose machine i was playing ( i think he was pissed actually, he's never been able to get to 6). funny thing is, i didn't even notice that they were all lit up until he said something, voice dripping in disbelief. when i play it, i never go out on missions. i just wander about causing as much mayhem and destruction as i can before i am taken out. my fav thing to do is find a protected spot where i have good cover, then i kill a couple of folks walking down the street to bring the police to me and from there on it is just a complete shootout with the cops until their cars blow up at which point i break from cover, steal a car and lead the cops on a merry chase.

i was playing a freinds copy, since i got rid of mine for a wii, and screwing around on the net i got onto some childrens beauty pagent site that said " you ip address has been logged and you will be investigated", my freind gets an instant 6 star rating and people in the game think hes a pedophile now

Also, there's no actual porn on it whatsoever, and if you go there you get 5 or 6 stars and are usually gunned down pretty quick. It's like people pissing and moaning about the drink driving in the game - you can take a taxi if you wish - and more often than not, if you drive, it's so hard you'll trash up the place and get the cops on your arse - not very glamorous if you ask me.

I have been thinking of getting rid its alot of fun but meh the singleplayer gets a bit old so I gave it a break and now I love it again. I got sick and stumbled back onto cod4 and Killer 7 for a while then turned this on yesterday and it kicks more ass than I remember. Four two man teams in the whole of the city, managed to slaughter the other teams with a buddy of mine but dizzam. Nothing like realizing youre being tailed flipping around to face them and flooring it and the moment before the two cars hit a RPG flies out of nowhere and detonates you and three other players. Also out running three cars on a bike in multiplayer just leaks class

i got rid of it after a few weeks, it was good, but i just didnt have as much fun by the end, it was too samey, yet for the same...sameyness i have replayed bioshock about 12 times through since january.

apparently, rockstar has finally decided to throw us a bone by releasing details on the DLC for GTAIV: new story with new main character, new multiplayer modes (zombie apocalypse, please....), new vehicles, and new music (thank god, those radio stations got old quick). details are provided in link below: http://kotaku.com/5093975/gtaiv-dlc-...-out-in-feb-09 and http://kotaku.com/5094332/first-scre...st--damned-dlc

Bloody just traded the ****ing thing in!!!!!

Bloody just traded the ****ing thing in!!!!! I have neither a 360 hard-drive, nor XBL ... so that's me f*cked over then. Perhaps, hopefully, it'll come to PC to go with the new PC release of the game - it bloody well should anyway - and then I'd be able to play it that way (as I'll soon by getting my mits on my new rig, potentially within a month's time ) ... I was considering getting GTA IV for PC, even though I have it on 360 and have invested damn near 100 hours into it, just so I could bash through the story again with god mode and inf ammo, which would allow me to really go on a silly rampage (which you can't do so well in the game without god mode, you're limited and discouraged to go postal). Anyway, hopefully the DLC comes to PC as well.

microsoft paid $50 million for exclusive rights the first 2 DLC episodes, so i don't think PC will see them anytime soon. mz, what's stopping you from moving your sexbox downstairs or wherever you've got your internet connection, then using a 48hr trial access card for xboxlive and getting the DLC?

Because: * I've got everything nicely set-up upstairs. * I shouldn't have to go out of my way because of a videogame. * I don't have a hard-drive on my 360, just the little cards to save onto, HDD especially not needed as I don't have XBL. The main reason. * I don't believe my internet connection is good enough/the right type/whatever for XBL, I am in the sticks after all, not in the middle of a city.

not the best quality of video, but here it is: still wondering how much microsoft and rockstar are gonna charge for this. looks great, but i hope they don't try charging any more than 1200ms points for it. as a matter of fact, maybe they should only charge 800. either way, i'm gonna be downloading this on day 1. hopefully they'll bring back a few of the things they left out from previous games (rampages, turf wars, ...maybe a tank?)

[capncnut]

either way, i'm gonna be downloading this on day 1. Same here. Looks sweet.

[MinionZombie]

Well, not having XBL, I'm boned. Hopefully they'll put it up for download to PC, and considering I'll soon have my mits on a kick ass new Quad Core, I'll probably pick up GTA IV on the PC (once it's come down in price and been patched to fookery). I've invested damn near 100 hours into it on the Xbox, but I'd quite like to play it on PC with a trainer and just go wild, as well as replay the storyline, and - hopefully - get this expansion storyline for the PC ... cos they bloody well should release it.
