The Fearsome And Mammoth Only Allowable Grand Theft Auto IV Thread
Dimmukane:
I totally agree with whoever said that releasing this during finals was a bad idea. I've got three projects due by the end of next week, and I can't stop thinking about playing. FUCK.
Resisting the temptation to play is damn near impossible. I've already decided that I'm gonna play this all day Saturday, projects or no. Hopefully I can finish two of them by the end of the week (I probably will, but they're programming-related, so I may have to debug).
Seriously though, it's putting a knot in my stomach.
KvP:
The added dynamism to the missions is nice. For example, early in the game you can date a girl, and the first time you're on your way to pick her up your cousin calls, as he is getting beat up by thugs. Seeing as Roman is a bum, I left him to his fate and went on the date. After the date Roman calls and you get into an argument about your putting "cooch over cousins", and you have to pick him up from the hospital (later, after a strip club visit with Roman, I crashed the motorcycle we were riding and had to pick Roman up from the hospital again). I went on another date that did not go well and in a pre-mission cutscene I was grilled by Roman over how it went, and I was evasive about it. I don't know if doing things differently results in huge differences, but the way the game flows feels really natural. Also, the lines between side missions and main storyline missions is blurry. At this stage, though, everything feels like a side-mission.
A little miffed at the apparent lack of custom soundtracks.

yeah, it's pretty interesting how you can choose which things to do or not. to continue using the example you did; i went on the date and told Roman to piss off and of course he called me later and was all "thanks jerk. i had to take a shitty bus home from the hospital because the thugs YOU beat up kicked my ass." but the chick was stoked on me. then my 360 froze before i could save it so i had to do it all again but i decided to help Roman instead and ignore the girl, so i kicked a bunch of ass for Roman then we got drunk and crashed his car. then later the girl called me back anyway and was all "so how about that date we were supposed to go on?" and we went bowling.
also; what are everyones thoughts on the multiplayer? i've only played about two or three deathmatches that weren't even full, but they were alot of fun. you really feel up to no good skulking around a busy city with an AK-47. it's pretty intense when you're in the middle of a fire fight and then someone just comes out of nowhere and runs you over with Hummer. or, for example, you kill one of your opponents and you're thinking "yeah, alright. i rule." but then cops start telling you to "freeze" and "put the gun down" and all this and you have to either kill them and draw more heat, or try to escape the police all the while trying to fight through your human opponents.
it's definitely a whole new kind of multiplayer experience that i'm really excited to delve deeper into.

Writing in this game leans heavily towards the razor-sharp.
Incidentally, it doesn't hurt to cancel plans with others now and again. Little Jacob needed me to go do something so I canceled a strip club date with Roman.
