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

[Don Luigi]

Does anyone know why I can't get Dwayne to send me backup? He rang me ages ago and told me about it but I never used it and now I can't find it?

 

[tambourine-man]

Because your friendship level has dropped below the threshold???

Is it 65% or something?

 

[Don Luigi]

You may be right, I can't be arsed checking right now but it seems reasonable to assume that. I don't give the whingey bastard the time of day.

 

[Beatlebot]

Yeah I know, I'm beginning to wish I'd killed him instead. Mind you, his goons have helped me on a few missions now, they're pretty cool.

 

[L2R]

i enjoy randomly knocking motorcyclists off their bikes during missions

i pretend they're felix :D

 

[felix]

I killed dwane. (Thought it'd be easier than killing Playboy X) It was the wrong thing to do.
Now I've missed out on an extra safehouse and have no goons to back me up.
*sighs*

 

[tambourine-man]

The safehouse is gash (apart from the "Claude" outfit). No free interwebs.

 

[Don Luigi]

Speaking of outfits, does anyone know where the hell to get glasses at? I can't find them in any of the shops!

 

[PinholeStar]

I'm sure they're in the clothes shop in Hove Beach, next to the counter.

So when I fail a mission I usually just press start and then load the game to where I was up to.

What are the disadvantages of just using the phone to replay the mission you just failed?

I realise the advantages, ie. you don't have to start back at the safehouse and make your way to the mission again.

^if you died you lose money, if you didn't, you lose whatever ammo or health/armour you used

God damn the realistic physics in this game!

What's the money like in this game?

Realistic prices for buying and earning etc?

Money is easy to come by if you keep on the missions.
Now I've done the story mode, I just like to stab elderly women with a knife I acquired from killing a psychotic paedophile on a side mission.
(They always seem to have money on them and are easy targets).

 

[Cornishman]

I was also thinking the game should have more immoral'ness added to it.
Imagine how hilarious it would be if you could use bodily functions in the game.
Spitting, p*ssing, sh*tting and even masturbating should all be fully controllable........

 

[L2R]

^what purpose would those things serve?

lol@ $100 ringtones!

In GTA 2 you could burp and fart by pressing z repeatedly if I remember correctly. People would say shit if you do it next to them
