GTA IV rant

Jun 16, 2008 16:13

I just started playing this the other day. Oh my god, I can't get the first package to the buyer in time! I've tried like 10 times, soooo annoying! I don't want to get a thumbs down from Little Jacob.

Ugh, 'No Love Lost' is annoying too.

I'm forgetting exactly what this one entailed, but I remember cursing over this mission. And the one where I had to kill Ivan. After trying infinity times, I KILLED that bastard after finally catching up to him.

I'm on this one mission where I have to shoot the drug dealers, but two of them take off in a car as soon as I start shooting. And they're always getting away or I get killed! I need God mode!

You have to chase down a guy on a motorcycle and when you reach the end of the chase all his biker friends show up and shoot you with shotguns.

My biggest issue is driving the bike. It's really sensitive to the slightest tilt of the stick and I go weaving all over the road. Inevitably I hit a rock, fly off the bike 50 feet down the street, and the biker gets away.

If I actually make it to the end of the chase, I can't control the bike well enough to navigate through the trees and run over the bikers. I've tried twice to get off the bike and take cover behind a tree, but both times failed because Niko took too long to dismount and got killed with one hit from their shotgun.

Oh yeah! I finally got past that one by having a wicked-fast PCJ900 (so I could actually GET to the end) and lucky aiming with my shotgun.

If that's the one I'm thinking of, I got that one like sixth or seventh. I did it in the middle of the night to minimize traffic problems and I couldn't really find a faster route than what the GPS was showing.

You can bug me on MSN if you need any pointers. :)

Yeah, the GPS route seems pretty direct. I really only tried it like twice after I realized how to actually *get* to the guy. I kept driving to the end of the highlighted route like four times and was like "WHERE IS HE?!" Then I figured out that he's behind the bridge support thing and the highlighted route doesn't lead me all the way to him. xD

Get Team Fortress 2 and forget about GTA!

So far, had a 360 for about a month, and played on it for about 6 hours tops?

GTA4 seems fun so far, Burnout Paradise too fast to be able to bloody follow it, Grid too twitchy to play at all, and Eternal Sonata just looks pretty but I've had no time to get into it at all.

My 360 experience so far hasn't been particularly promising.

I haven't played it much either. I played a little bit of Bioshock and even less Viva Pinata. GTAIV is pretty fun so far, though.

Oh, and Orange Box. Mustn't forget Portal.

I played San Andreas for like 10 minutes but the programming on the pedestrians pissed me off so much! XD Stop THROWING yourself under my wheels, retards!

Good luck!

Haha, yeah, I remember that.
They seem to have fixed that issue for this installment.

The thing I like doing in San Andreas is getting in gunfights with The Ballas (those purple bastards STARTED IT!) on the way to anywhere. Even if I'm zooming down the street in a car, I hear them try to shoot me.

But yeah, the peds are complete idiots. Fortunately, they go *squish* in such a satisfying way. :oD
