Grand Theft Auto: Chat Andreas
by Aaron Linde, May 03, 2008 12:47am PDTWe're a little late, but here's the weekend bump of the Grand Theft Auto IV discussion thread.
I just made it to the last mission, and boy howdy, it's tough. But approaching the end, I have a newfound respect for Rockstar's ability to put together a story. The epic saga of one Niko Bellic, as far as I'm concerned, is the best in the series.
I don't want it to end, but hey, everything does. And when it's over, I can still hop online for high-octane shenanigans with the rest of the Shacknews staff. So as we careen into the weekend, how are you all finding the game? Any crazy finds, big spills, accidental explosions into chunky kibble? Report in the comments.

Favorite: Comet! Zippy, responsive and insanely fast. Grips very well, too.
Least: Patriot. It has enough power to go fast, but exactly zero grip. It spins out at a drop of a hat. Driving it is like rowing a boat in choppy weather, constantly have to correct for spin.
Speaking of driving, is it possible to shoot and drive while in 1st person mode? I really like 1st person but if I can't shoot ... FAIL.

Hit me like a good brick wall, but now it leads to so many questions about so many characters. Brilliant choice though.

I bought this thing midnight the day it came out based on the perfect Metacritic score, but I'm not seeing it as that great and I'm worried I've wasted $60. My question is this: does the game really get that much better? Should I really drudge on if I'm not enjoying myself at this point? Or is the gameplay pretty consistent from beginning to end? If it is, maybe I ought to go ahead and try to resell the thing now while it's hot.
(My favorite single player games: Half-Life 2, Portal, Chrono Trigger... and probably Secret of Monkey Island)

once ramon buys the safe house in middle park east, go to the computer and log on to little lacy surprise pageant by clicking the search button. This will automatically bring you to 5 stars. Now go downstairs, run outside, shoot some cops, use grenades, etc, until you get 6 stars. Go back upstairs, turn on the TV, wait five minutes, and then go to bed.

I've been playing all week and have nothing to do. I got as far as meeting Michelle, and I take her out to do things several times a day. I also take Roman out several times a day, but I don't get any missions.
What do I need to do to get the story to resume? Its as if someone paused the story.
The last thing I can remember doing is defending Roman in the park and then chasing a guy into a building and pushing him out a window. Then I think I met michelle, and for the past 3 days its just been calling her and calling Roman, but there's nothing else to do.
How do I get the story to start? I don't know what to do anymore, I start the game and there's nothing to do.

Sometimes when I'm in an intense chase and kill my target right before his car explodes causing my car to do a double barrel roll off the freeway, I wish I could watch it again in slow motion and from multiple angles. That would be truly amazing. Otherwise, this game is just swell.

I took out Francis which had an awesome funeral mission later on. But I reckon its the same if you take the other option with just different audio.

In past GTA games, walking through any door (when outside) would mean you were going to see a loading screen. Resturants, Bars, Gyms, and everything else was not immediately accessible. Now, walking through a door and immediately have access to these things still trips me out. The first time I did this (cloth shopping) it litterally made me stop and think about what just happened--then I killed everyone in the store because I was so excited.
Anyone who played any of the previous games knows that GTA has never ever been about the graphics--it's always been kind of understood that that just wasnt going to blow you away. This is a huge improvement.
I personally think the game looks stunning. There's more to a great, visually impressive presentation than the resolution of a brick pattern on the side of a building.
