video game: Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3/Xbox360)

[-Guido-]

Spoiler about Michelle:

NSFW:

She's an undercover cop working for the FIB. You'll find out after you bust your ass getting a bunch of coke back from some thieves only to have to give it to Michelle when she comes out about being an agent. Don't waste your money taking her out anywhere. I'm kind of curious what happens if you just never talk to her from the start and don't return any calls or anything.

I knew it from the start. Bitch was always asking questions. I got what I wanted from her.

I am so not reading that spoiler. I want to find out for myself. I knew she was dodgy, though. I just knew it!

I watch people use the ATM. When they walk away I beat the shit out of them until they drop lots of money. Then I run.

 

[Beatlebot]

And here I was shooting the ATM up with my shotgun like an idiot. Thanks, ClubbinGuido!

the sms text is impossible to read without having one's face right up to the tv

Increase the text size in the phone options.

Or buy a bigger TV. :D

Couple things I found out today are that if you access the computer in a police car it allows you to go on missions to take out the "most wanted" as well as "crimes in progress".

Also, you can blow through toll booths in an emergency vehicle with the siren on. I haven't tried with the siren off though.

Does anyone know what happens if you stop hanging out with your friends? I know if you press start and go to stats/general you can see the percentage someone likes you and respects you. Just wondering what happens if it gets to zero.

I thought Michelle was a prostitute and that's why she always asked questions about my work and wouldn't say what she did for a living. I was expecting us to come out to each other and then get married. *Sigh* I'll never love again.

My ranking on my multiplayer goes away. I've been a 2 twice and it keeps going back down to 1. Wtf??? Anyone else having this problem. Is it a national point system or what??

 

[Kul69]

^^ I'm pretty sure it had to do with how much money you have. You must be spending or losing enough money to put you below the line over and over.

 

[skunkweed420]

It save automatically also doesent it.

 

[L2R]

Increase the text size in the phone options.

Or buy a bigger TV. :D

i have found no such option. maybe it'll get better when i get a better phone. like their blackberry parody "bittersweet".

i think my eyes are getting fucked. i have to read heaps of legislation and shit at the new job. i'll probably need glasses soon

 

[Cface]

Do you think I'll be able to get her to go out with me again? And if I do, will I be able to shoot her?

I'll report back with my findings.

lol sick fuck. No doubt though man, goto her house and gun that bitch down!

You know after playing this game i realized it's just too god damn real! Every little thing you do reflects everything else. You have to take everyones feelings into consideration, you need to pay exta close attention to your environment so not to piss off anyone or get the cops on you for merely running one person over, and driving is just plain fuckin hard.

Sometimes i think reality would be easier to play if it weren't for the fact that you can get shot 3-4 times and go get a burger to heal yourself.

 

[L2R]

^i disagree

if that were the case then any yobbo and his dog will be running over and shooting everyone, comfortable in knowing that life is just a burger away. i don't think that would be very nice.


i'm completely absorbed by this game. anyone else lose track of time whilst playing?

oh speaking of time, how does one check the time in the game?

 

[Beatlebot]

Well I tried calling Michelle a couple of times but she says she is still too mad at me, all I did was shoot a couple of bouncers!

Anyway, had just given up when she gives me a call and says she's concerned about me. Then I get an email from Roman telling me to call her. This is it, I think, this is my chance to shoot her in the face! So I call her again and she still says she's too mad to see me.

Why is she playing with my feelings like this?

Going by what Kul69 says though, it's not worth it. I'm sure I'll be hearing from her again, but I don't think I'm going to laid again.

Wow this game seriously kicks ass. I have it for PS3 and my id is: sosit

I live on the east coast USA if anyone wants to get down with some multiplayer!

 

[tambourine-man]

i have found no such option. maybe it'll get better when i get a better phone. like their blackberry parody "bittersweet".

Hmmm.... I'm using the bog-standard phone. When you access the phone, there is a menu, one of which is "options". In there, you can change ringtones, vibrate function, etc. And also text size.

oh speaking of time, how does one check the time in the game?

Again, shown on the top of your phone (or in the pause menu, i think).

 

[L2R]

are you on drugs? i went through those settings a few times and never saw a text size option.

maybe it was too small to read

 

[tambourine-man]

Do I need to take a picture?
