IGN world exclusive GTA4 review is up...

[LunchBoxZX2]

And they have nothing but good things to say about it... Needless to say, they gave it 10 out of 10 and called it "masterful." A quick excerpt from the review should get your blood pumping for this coming Tuesday..

"Without question, Grand Theft Auto IV is the best game since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time."

Full Review (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/869/869381p1.html)

It's entirely worth it to read the entire thing. :splitnana:

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

~Fuzzy

[tylahjames]

~Fuzzy

[ZX2guy19]

http://www.justin.tv/pressstart

They are usualy on later in the day... obviously gamer nerds. Play all night and sleep all day.

[ZX2guy19]

so....I just convinced my dad to buy this for my grades. Sweet

[CraZx2ing]

I'm glad i preordered this... the wife and I have been waiting for a looong time now for it to come out.

[LunchBoxZX2]

Yep, it's going to be epic. I will be picking it up tomorrow night at midnight. Both the GameStop stores in my town (they're literally a quarter of a mile from each other) are doing midnight releases.

[tylahjames]

The GameStop right down the road from me, where I ordered mine at, is doing a midnight release too.

The inner-geek in me wanted to take that Tuesday off from work, and stay home and play. But, I am already talking off like 3 days next month due to my Dad flying in from Missouri.

Your town sounds a lot like where I used to live...we had 4 Subways, all within like a 4 mile radius.

[LunchBoxZX2]

Haha... yeah, we have, all withinin a 1.5 mile radius from my house... 2 GameStop stores, GameCrazy, Blockbuster, Circuit City, Walmart, Target, BestBuy, Office Depot, Office Max... pretty much anything you could think of. It's nuts.

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

18 hourz and i getz my copy yay

~Fuzzy

[ZX2guy19]

Every place here is doing a midnight release, except for Target. I'll be there at midnight tonight, rain an all, lol. $64.04 :[

[ZX2 Sleeper]

I just got the e-mail that GTA4 is coming to my house. AHH CAN'T f'ing wait. Last time i preordered a cd i got it a day before it came out!

[Hypnose Zx2]

i didnt like any of thos games with out cheat codes

[LunchBoxZX2]

It's snowing in Chicago. I'm stll going at midnight.

[autox_zx2]

hell ya. me and my roomie are going at midnight. playing it for prob like all night, lol. looks like i wont be going to poli-sci class 2morrow.

[ahhhhWHOA]

i watched some of the live feeds, it looks cool. to bad i dont have a system to play it on or i might buy it. lol

[Mike]

I'll have to drop a roofie in the wifes drink....so I can go out and buy it...and keep it hidden so she doesn't yell at me. :)

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

lol why would she yell at you? woot my special edition is payed off all i got to do is walk in to game stop and pick it up tonite

~Fuzzy

[Mike]

Because she thinks its a "waste" of money. :(

And it would take away from time together I guess...lol

[random_hero]

I should hope like fuck it would. I will have to wait untill the 7th...I don't have my xbox at school =(

[ZX2guy19]

Dude I'm excited as fuck lol.

I bought it at gamestop for $64.04. I might get that tonight (100%) then go to Circuit City tomorrow and buy it again and get the $10 gift card and take the non opened one back to Game stop that I just purchased at CC. LOL

[CraZx2ing]

WHOA! $10 giftcard at CC?!

Just checked it on online... sweet. Thats a bonus! I preordered it there. I bet its only on an in store purchase and not an in store preorder. I bet i'll have to do a return/rebuy to get the card do to a differant sku. I'll update you guys tomorrow morning on that heh.

[ZX2guy19]

Yup. It's not much, but shit man $10 is $10 lol.

[CraZx2ing]

And a free $10 is even better at that! I could pick up, i dunno an old DVD or something for freeeeeee. Maybe I can trade the GC to the gas station for 2 gals?

[CraZx2ing]

Just called the local 24hr walmart and they said they have a ton in stock along with the game guides (on sale also). so i'm going to pick up a copy right after work and get the ccity one tomorrow and return it to walmart. Oh good times.

I am NOT going to sleep tonight. heh.

[BlackEscortGT]

its funny because on xbox live the brits have been playing all afternoon and evening.

[ZX2guy19]

Lol. What do you guys think? The camera angles are weird, but I can tell its going to shape up to be a great game. School tomorrow and calling off work, lol.

[autox_zx2]

so far so awesome! :splitnana:

[Unlikely Hero]

You get a 10 dollar gift card at CC? Figures, I actually preorder something and that happens. Wonder what bb is offering.
=Jason-

[tylahjames]

Asshooooooles!!!

It's 6 A.M. over here...I have to wait till 3 P.M., when I get off of work to pick it up.

[ZX2 Sleeper]

ahh. i hope to get mine soon!!!

[LunchBoxZX2]

It is as good as they say. I will definitely agree with that. Played for 6 hours last night, never got boring... and I didn't even do a single campaign mission yet.

[random_hero]

lmao. so badass. I cannot wait.

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

awesome game played from 12 till 11 im goin to bed lol

~Fuzzy

[Connal]

Picked my copy up at a little past midnight, played it until 9 AM. So far I love it. The controls are basically the same as they always were. They have added a ton of new stuff (the bowling is strangely fun) and the plot is very sturdy.

I love it! I'm going to go and play some more lol.

[random_hero]

=( fuck I want to play it.

[zxtuner98]

i need to buy a ps3 or xbox 360. ps3 seems better, but i want forza 2. haha

I must get this game. I have everyone so far.

[random_hero]

I've owned every GTA from the original one....even GTA: London - which I've never seen anyone else ever own. I cannot wait to get IV.

[McG35]

London was fun, haha I OWNED IT!! back in the day...

[zxtuner98]

London ftl lol. GTA 3 was alright, vice city sucked balls, san andreas was the bomb, and this looks to be THEE game.

[CraZx2ing]

had fun getting used to it last night. graphics and sound are great. theres so many little details its amazing. i pissed my wife off real good so now i'm dealing with that. yey. she doesn't understand the whole buy and return thing i'm doing. she's just mad cause i'm going to buy 2 copies. doesn't matter if one is getting returned lol.

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

I picked up the 360 version for myself and a PS3 version for my buddy.

[tylahjames]

Just got mine! And just got home!

For some reason, they gave me a copy of the GTA IV Walk Through, for free.

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

lucky ass

~Fuzzy

[LunchBoxZX2]

Anyone who has this for PS3, can you confirm the reports of system freezing with the 60GB unit? And also, is the multiplayer portion of the game down today? I'm hearing reports of both from several sites and I'd like to confirm.

I have a 60GB PS3 unit, but I didn't want to run this on my PS3 due to the 360's Live multiplayer being better yada yada.

Yes and yes :sad:

I have a 60GB unit and mine froze a couple times, I ended up reseting and trying again but it froze. I thought it was just my ps3 but I looked it up on google a bit ago and realized it's a bigger thing. The multiplayer is also down. I'm guessing it's a server overload? I was on it around midnight when I bought the game and it was working fine. I guess I'll wait it out.

[TheGhostInTheMachine]

Good thing I bought the 360 version...

[Mike]

You can all go to hell....


I wanna play it :(

[ZX2guy19]

Ok so to be completely honest:

I can't drive worth shit. I keep accidentally changing the camera angle and thus fucking up my missions.

:[

[tylahjames]

So far....this game is extremely badass.

10/10.

No Doubt.

[pcolazx2]

So mine doesn't freeze anymore. Hooray!! The multiplayer online is still down though.

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

multiplayer is down on 360 i think idk

~Fuzzy

[pcolazx2]

playstation 3 as well

[Unlikely Hero]

Great, my 60gig ps3 is coming back from repairs on the 1st and now I have to look forward to it freezing. wtf
=J-

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

wait you done have to download files to make it run smoother? the 360 is nice and smooth no freezing

~Fuzzy

[phosphite]

Damn I want this...but I have neither PS3 or 360 right now and "shouldn't" spend the money as it has to go other places right now...so tempting! Hopefully my buddy has this so I can play it the weekend. 60gb PS3 freezing doesn't sound good tho...but I heard the game is pretty frickin sweet!

[ZX2guy19]

I just went and got my copy from Circuit City. The lady at the front said you had to pre-order it to get the $10. NOT THE CASE. I walked up the electronics guy and asked him and he gave me the gift card, lol.

$10 gift cards don't hurt. :)

[CraZx2ing]

i used my $10 GC to put it towards the walk through. Plus i alraedy had a $30 gc so in the end it was like $40 for the game and book. woohoo.

So far there is just too much to like but the best... Stealing a car from a gangster looking guy and he held onto the handle of the car as i drug him down a couple blocks until i cleaned him off by swipping a newspaper machine... which sent news papers everywhere and pretty much ended his life.

:) <~ me.

[CraZx2ing]

just an FYI...

I checked on the stats page my addiction level... yesterday said "getting there" today it said... "The weekend has arrived" heh :).

[OGreaTFuzzY1]

i just smexed it up real nice with a hooker

~Fuzzy

[pcolazx2]

Multiplayer is back for ps3. Been kicking ass and taking names all night. :D

[CraZx2ing]

hint on the hookers: as they finish their... service... you can drive forward a little bit and they will stay in the car so you can try out the other services... then since you are in a dark lonely spot, when she gets out, kill her and get you money back!

[Mike]

Hmm...well I'm trying to use some of the cheats for the game..and it says hit up for the mobile...and then up again for the keypad on the mobile....I hit up and nothing happens...Do I have to get cell service...lol...i'm kinda confused...

[ZX2guy19]

I still haven't played this yet, lol.

[LunchBoxZX2]

In-game, up on the directional pad brings up your cell phone... if you hit up on the directional pad again, it lets you dial any number you want.

[LunchBoxZX2]

I still haven't played this yet, lol.

What's wrong with you!? :razz:

[Mike]

Well I figured it out...I had to go and take my cousin to play that game....or w/e and he gave me a phone....Before that I was just running around and killin' ppl...lol

Now I have a phone...and a crap load of weapons. 8)
