Wow - picked up my copy at midnight last night (this morning, lol) and was online by 12:25am. Few minutes of hard disk download and then it took a little effort to figure out how to get into Online mode 'Free' mode... (hint: use the cell phone) and then WOW - simply a hysterical three and a half hours that flew by before I had to bring myself to go to bed to make it to work today. And just because Godeater would want to know: The first thing I did when I got into the game was a I shot my neighbor in the face (my buddy who came online with me) and then proceeded to jack a car and mow down as many people as possible. The cops came pretty quick and then it was just a bloodbath. I chased some poor woman down into the subway and kicked her in the teeth and then I got electrocuted on the third rail. This is going to be THE game...theres no doubt about it AWESOME! *twitches* I didn't pick mine up yet - will run out and do that on my lunch break. Question is will I ever come back to the office... and I mean EVER. *cackle* Happy GTA Day Everybuddy! I am sitting here in my office reading all of the reviews already and deciding which illness I will fake to get out of work this afternoon. I think a little nausea may do the trick. I played COD4 last night probably for the last time in a while and thanked it for the hours of play that it has given to me. Happy Gaming everyone.

Nice! I woke up at 3am to try and fly through the remainder of Final Fantasy XII since I don't think I'll be seeing that again for a long while... anyways to no avail. The fate of Ivalice shall remain in limbo as I burn Liberty City to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arndrake Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Picked it up last night. Got the special edition, which comes in a lockbox. So while installing, I looked over the 'art of' book. Went through the intro and had to turn it off and go to bed. Can't wait until tonight so I can actually do some mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I stayed up all night playing CoD4 and just woke up. Mine's coming from Amazon today, so I woke up at just around mail time here. I didn't plan it out that way, but it's good...I didn't have to spend all morning anticipating it. The only thing that sucks is that I won't be able to play online for awhile. I recently moved where I play games (out of the main room, don't want the kid watching) and I'm too lazy to get another line and too cheap to pay $100 for a wireless adapter (which costs less than $20 for a PC, f**k you Microsoft). Still stoked though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still stoked though! Oh I was wondering what you were talking about until I remember your a 360 guy. I'm happy that Sony was generous enough to spend the 32 cents and include wireless on each unit. Not that I'm a PS3 fanboy I do own all three consoles. Anyways I picked mine up but didn't open yet. I couldn't get a damn thing done at the office with that thing sitting on my desk I swear the *smell* was tantalizing me. I actually drove it home at lunch - out of site and out of nostril range. Oh! And on my very short drive I had a classic GTA moment too. One of those big transport trucks that transports cars was in front of me for a bit... you know the kind that you can do jumps off of in GTA? Man for a brief second my brains immediate impulse was to gun the gas and give it a go. Down brain! Four hours then you can do that in the safety of the living room!

PassTheAmmunition Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just a few helpful hints to save you folks who havent played it yet some valuable time: After installing to disk the required material, the game launches into the trailer sequence with credits and it chronicles Niko's arrival into Liberty City. You can opt out of it with the X button but its pretty entertaining so long as you arent foaming from both corners of your mouth. Me, I dove straight in. Familiarize yourself with the controls for on foot and in vehicle. The cell phone is the portal into Online mode. The start button brings you into a rather unusual menu system where you won't find "Online" or "Multiplayer" - so if you want to jump into a deathmatch or Free Mode, use the cell. During gameplay, you can use the cell phone to mute other online players (a la COD4) and also can use the cell phone to "call" other players you are playing with. I just checked out some videos on the IGN UK site of GTAIV gameplay and there is one cool helicopter fly-over of Liberty City with some hints on how do do some things. I recommend it. The helicopter looks damn cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 hahahaha I'm actually more of a Sony guy. I hate M$, but there were a bunch of games I wanted for the 360 when I bought one, and maybe two for the PS3. The PS3 is the better console though, no doubt. I'm most definitely getting one with that MGS4 bundle when it comes out! GTA is sitting by me on the couch like it's a family member. As soon as my daughter takes a nap I'm tearing into it.

PhilCastro Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Oh man... I just watched the Review on Gametrailers.com and now I dont think i can wait til Friday. They gave it a 9.8/10! the whole time I thought they were showing it on PS3 because of how stunning the Graphics look but no it was on 360. I guess its one of the few that lived up to its hype!

Speaking of watching trailers and stuff... I cannot believe that TV channels that have shows that review video games and stuff (a good examplle is G4 TechTV) don't have HD channels... it is pretty lame to watch video reviews of HD games in standard def - especially when they are like oooh and aaaaah about the graphics. *boggle* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Playing it right now!!! (well...it's on pause ) The controls are all diffrent, if you're used to the other GTA controls it will take a bit of getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
