There is also another legendary quote from old Winston. I'm getting this from the top of my memory so it may be a little wrong, but here goes:

Woman: Are you drunk?
Winston: Madam, I'm drunk. But tomorrow I will be sober, and you will still be ugly!

Now there is a typical pommy for you, and he makes a lot of damn good points there about the game too.

"Its like getting off the roller coaster every 5 minutes to touch up the paint work"

"Hang on am I playing grand theft auto or grand theft normal boring life"

Haha, man alive Yahtzee is funny...

He does make sense though. I'm on the last mission now of GTA 4 and it's been an awesome game, but was also getting irritated with the whole friends calling you to go drinking and to shows. It tries to add to the realism but gets old after a while. Still a really great game though.

CYBER crooks are cashing in on the huge popularity of the new Grand Theft Auto video game, it was revealed yesterday.

They are swamping the internet with bogus downloads claiming to offer demos of two-week-old GTA IV and the forthcoming PC version.

When game fans open them, a virus planted by the thieves can search their PC hard drives for personal information, such as bank details.

John Safa, of software security firm DriveSentry, said: “People are exploiting the popularity of Grand Theft Auto in a way which could bring mayhem to the internet.

“Such computer viruses have the potential to steal sensitive information such as a user’s bank account details, or wipe out important files.”

He warned gamers to be wary of the downloads.

How can there be a PC demo when it is common knowledge that there re no current plans to port this game to PC.
Proof that some PC gamers are just as brainless as their console cousins....

I'm still on the Snowstorm mission - have had a busy week! Don't know how far I am, almost halfway I think?

Finished it today finally, wasn't too hard just didn't have time. Very good game and a great storyline!

Says 66% complete under stats though, so still got lotsa side missions and things.

Woman: You sir are DRUNK!
Bulldog: Yes madam, but in the morning I will be sober, and you will still be ugly.

slight error.

a guy at work bought GTA4 2 weeks ago, 2 days ago, game stopped working. Took the disk out and found the edges are mangled. Went to store and they told him, sorry, all we can do is clean ot for you, at a price.

poor bastich forked out R680 for the special edition and its now a coaster!

Been a long time GTA fan. So, how is the new GTA 4 like? Though of purchasing PC version somewhere in future when I can afford it, but how is the storyline and graphics? (Reviews are great but somebody who's actually played the game is better).

According to Rockstar, there isn't going to be a PC version...

and I dont blame them

Piracy is killing the PC gaming market. Yes there area those who say that piracy actually contributes to the success of a game and increased sales but i just dont see how that would put more money in the pocket of the creator.

Easy way to a successfull tiltle is to create loads of hype and then release it on the consoles.

The game is really great tho.

Loving the helicopters and NRG 900

Post by **ryanrich** » 18 May 2008, 13:49

Yeah the helicopters are great, once you get used to controlling them!

Unfortunately, I could only play GTAIV for less than an hour, until it froze

, Now it doesnt even work at all.

I believe there is a problem with this game

Link
Anybody else experienced the same problem????

PS3 or XBOX360?

1GOR · Post by **1GOR** » 24 Jun 2008, 21:56

Try the new patch if PS3.

Mubz · Post by **Mubz** » 25 Jun 2008, 08:12

Xbox 360

Reading that link you gave (Mubz) it's interesting how many ppl are having problems with the game. I think I'm one of the luckier ones seen that I've got a 360 when it launched in SA and up until now I haven't had any game freezes (except for Top Spin 2, but it was a dirty disc) only the occasional dvd try stuck at either open or close, but nothing a good smack couldn't sort out.

I've had about between 6 to 8 hours of GTA IV game time between just driving around, and doing some missions and I'm yet to experience a problem while playing the game. But I say again....I'm most likely just lucky..

Yes, it seems you are lucky, It's so disappointing buying a game and not being able to enjoy it, however i have contacted Rockstar games, they are aware of the problem and said that i should return the faulty disc to them for a replacement disc...

Post by **OnlyOneKenobi** » 25 Jun 2008, 08:57

Have probably played for 40 hours or so and haven't had any "freezing" problems with GTA 4 - just got stuck while in cover during a gunfight, but it was a clipping issue. No other problems encountered at all.
