GTAIV thread anyone?

Wow, it's insane how much GTA4 has affected the Metal Gear Online beta. Looks like 2/3 of the usual player count just vanished.

More salt in the wound. (Edit: and Cpt. Toilet, Iron Archer and ZenPirate are just rubbing it in)

:(

For the record: I just played for pretty much 9 hours straight. I didn't get any freezes, glitches or any other issues whatsoever. The game ran flawlessly. :p

No crashes here either, but I did run into a 3 second freeze when watching one of the television shows. Not a big deal though its happened once or twice in roughly 5 hours of playing

There is a website in game that shows you the locations of all pigeons, as well as health/armor/weapon/stunt location/weird people to meet

Seriously though, what's up with the handling in this game, any tips? And not just, "use the breaks," cause that crap doesn't work. :p

Don't break and turn at the same time. Break first, then turn. It took me a while to get the hang of the more 'realistic' vehicle handling, but the more you drive the faster you learn. :)

I wouldn't really call ice skating realistic but yeah, I'll get used to it eventually. ><

Wow, isn't that kind of cheap, what were they thinking? :\

I think something is wrong with me. i mean, i should be liking this game a lot... but I keep wanting to go play some more Mario kart Wii :(

Don't worry I feel the same way, but it's not the game, it's cause I'm never able to get into console games these days, I'd rather just go sit at the comp. :lol:

About the vehicle handling:

If it's like GTA SA, then the handling will get better as you get more driving experience.

My first impressions of the game:

  • It's dark, even in daylight it seems too dark. (Yes, I've adjust the brightness).
  • Running it at 1080, the cellphone menus are nearly unreadable, and the text messages are unreadable. (46" HDTV)
  • Traffic!
  • I miss the old HUD.
  • I miss the wide open spaces of GTA SA.

Funniest bit thusfar is driving next to some dude who's carrying a cup, which I knock out of his hand by driving a tad too close and the guy screaming 'my latte!' :lol:
