guys, read my post. I never said i cared about graphics....i said controls and fluidity of the graphics (i.e. framerate) is what really sucks about GTA. It's about as smooth as sandpaper and never feels fluid.
4/9/2008 12:39:21 PM
the trailers have all looked like they had pretty smooth framerates, but most of the footage appears to be cutscenes, so we'll just have to see what actual gameplay looks likethere might be some gameplay videos out there but i dunno
4/9/2008 1:13:17 PM
There aren't, Rockstar never does gameplay videos.Well, let me clarify that. They used to do gameplay videos but now they'd rather wait until after release before having their games crucified by the media [Edited on April 9, 2008 at 1:19 PM. Reason : hehe]

i have a solution for all that have anything bad to say about this game - don't play it. or perhaps you will break down and play it. either way.
4/9/2008 1:19:20 PM
I'm glad this game is taking a more realistic approach, but I hope they don't make it so real that you can't do all the crazy insane shit that made the past games so funLike if I shoot a motherfucker with a rocket, I want him to either explode or fly 50 feet in the air, not just fall down and die

illest game ever.

Yeah, most people are just saying, "damn, I guess I expected better [aspect of game] but I'm still going to play it." There's nothing wrong with that.
4/14/2008 12:54:19 PM
that review gave it a 10/10

I had some people over yesterday and we played GTA3 for a good 2 hours...it was a lot of fun, even though there were no motorcycles, no swimming, you couldnt jump out of a car unless it was completely stopped, etc

I was going to pre-order this game but every website I've been to (EBGames, Gamestop, BestBuy) says that pre-orders will ship on 4/29/08 meaning I wouldn't get the game till the day after it comes out. I thought pre-orders shipped on 4/28 so you received the game on the release date?
4/14/2008 11:01:36 PM
I don't really think there will be much of a problem getting it on the day it comes out. well at least I hope not.
4/14/2008 11:11:29 PM
When Smash Bros. came out I went to WalMart sometime that night on Glenwood and they had at least 20 copies left behind the glass.
4/15/2008 1:00:14 AM
To be fair, I don't think Smash Bros. is on this level. This is a step above just about anything I can think of.
4/15/2008 1:19:07 AM
It's definitely a step up in terms of how much it will sell. However I imagine Rockstar will have plenty of copies out there.
4/15/2008 1:22:39 AM
Shouldn't be worse than Halo 3.
4/15/2008 10:48:06 AM
They are going to build mountains of GTAIV game boxes at all the big box stores, I wouldn't worry about it. Only pre-order if you're planning on attending a midnight launch or want the collectors edition.
4/15/2008 10:49:34 AM
I've had GTA4 in the top of my Gamefly queue for weeks...the day before it launches, I'll purchase Stuntman: Ignition for $15 and then the next day (4/29) they'll send me GTA4
4/15/2008 10:56:08 AM
why would you rent itplus, should have preordered, gamestop's doing midnight release on monday night[Edited on April 15, 2008 at 10:59 AM. Reason : yeah]
4/15/2008 10:59:22 AM
want. badly.
4/15/2008 11:10:31 AM
4/15/2008 12:36:43 PM
^^^ I'm sure you could still show up at midnight and purchase a copy.
4/15/2008 12:50:39 PM
Probably, but if were going through the trouble of standing in a line at midnight, I'd want a guarantee that I was getting a copy.
4/15/2008 12:55:58 PM
http://www.rockstargames.com/socialclub/Should be up sometime today.
4/17/2008 1:08:22 PM
is that just a tracker?
4/17/2008 1:21:59 PM
No, it connects you to shit and stores stats on multiplayer.I also found this which says you need Social Club to use it.http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=zit&content=interactive0Sounds pretty cool. Amazon is actually using the game to sell mp3s of songs that come on the Liberty City radio channels.[Edited on April 17, 2008 at 1:26 PM. Reason : ]

4/17/2008 1:35:24 PM
yeah before you edited it.
4/17/2008 1:39:18 PM
Yeah, I tried to hit Ctrl+C to copy the new one and it didn't copy and the old one was inserted. The new one is pretty cool though.
4/17/2008 1:42:07 PM
GOD DAMNIT.I want to play this game, but i dont have the money to drop on the game system.
4/17/2008 1:47:21 PM
drop out of school and get a job.
4/17/2008 2:01:49 PM
a tempting solution
4/17/2008 2:02:26 PM
Steal one (preferably out the back of someone's car) to play GTAIV. Oh god, the media would have a field day with that one, especially if someone got killed in the process.
4/17/2008 2:10:59 PM
i've got that tuesday and wednesday off from work.geeking out will commence.
4/17/2008 7:31:27 PM

^ see you in 2010
4/17/2008 7:42:11 PM
so yea, the social club sounds pretty awesomeI'm already in
4/17/2008 7:59:01 PM
Yeah, the website is finally up but there isn't a whole lot to do on it and it's bigger than the average web browser window without any scroll bars so... yeah. But I'm sure they'll get it fixed before too long. There's really no point in fixing it until they get more stuff on that site anyway.
4/17/2008 9:12:29 PM
Watching some of the character videos on the site got me super pumped for this.
4/18/2008 10:23:37 AM
Time to freeze myself for a week and a half and get someone to thaw me out after GTA4 hits the stores.
4/18/2008 10:28:55 AM
you know what doesn't get me pumped for this? The GTA IV poster we have hanging up in my office that says "COMING OCTOBER 2007"I could have been playing this shit already...
