I pre-ordered mine from HMV in February. Cost me ĂÂŁ36 and I get 1000 MS points and a ĂÂŁ130 Voucher booklet with it. Hopefully itâll arrive in the post tomorrow. If not, I may have to pop down to my local Blockbuster and buy a copy, then sell my pre-ordered copy that comes late. Only thing is, I am in my final year at uni, in my final few weeks and so have sooooo much work on. So I will have to be careful on time spent playing this.

I donât really give a shit where itâs set, as long as the game is good. It would be cool if it was set in London though, but then again I donât think Iâd be able to stand the stupid cockney accents theyâd no doubt assume.

Actually, I totally forgot about this before, but the guys who make GTA are Scottish. So theyâd probably be more accurate than you think with things like accents. But then again, I think whatâs stopping them doing London is the fact that gamers have already done it with the Getaway games. I personally didnât like them, but a lot of people seem to.

I actually had a feeling someone had already done one. Thereâs a mod for pretty much everything you could think of.
its awesome, rockstar managed to keep a classic GTA feel while upgrading everything the humour is classic, the driving is heaps better and the shooting is fantastic perfect game
Mine arrived in the post today. Have played for a couple of hours and so far so good. A huge improvement from San Andreas. Multiplayer on Live was awesome. I played 2 games and won 2. Still getting used to the driving, which is more realistic. Canât say anything bad about it yet.
It looks fucking amazing! I so need a copy
They are of course targeting its violence

I wouldnât be surprised if take two is giving money to people, so they will go to court against them and speak out against them in the mediaâŚitâs all in favor of even more sales
GTA 4 is glorious. The level of detail is staggering. What it lost from the previous games was the âarcadeâ aspects of the series. Theyâve gone for realism this time. Just the small details amaze me. When you stab citizens on the street, they hobble and hold their gut from then on instead of just getting up and running like nothing happened. The explosions are absolutely insane too. Just a combination of all these new improvements (like amazing area damage on cars and ragdoll physics) make everything from evading the police to running over people feel that much more real. It really blurs the line between game and film. Some of the in-game moments (like shooting a civilian through the front windshield of his car and watching him swerve off and crash into the wall) are like watching a film.
In one mission I was given the choice to help or kill this guy I was ordered to kill. I chose to kill him and then later I felt this regret like as if it was a real person whose life I had taken when I couldâve saved it. Thatâs what I think the new game brings. Everything is so real that I feel the consequences of killing nothing more than a bunch of pixels. I took my date to the bar as well and got totally drunk, then drove her home. And I honestly felt a little bad about the horrible date and vowed never to go to the bar for a date again.
The funny thing is that I havenât yet had a rampage or anything. The story is so engaging that I am just content with playing through the missions, going from place to place.

Yeah, Jack Thompson is an arsehole. At it again.
Watching that video though, I am really glad that the hookers get on top of Niko and ride him like that. It always annoyed me that in a game as big as San Andreas, when you get a hooker it just played sex sounds whilst the two characters sat in separate seats. Man, the detail theyâve put into it is mind-boggling.
It kind of annoys me when the violence is targeted like that. Rockstar have always strived for storytelling and exploring the cinematic possibilities of the game medium. So what if they work in violence and sex, they are breaking new ground. Like Hideo Kojima and Metal Gear Solid, they are devoted to the storytelling possibilities of video games. Itâs sad that people like Jack Thompson can belittle such a grand achievement by claiming it is just mindless sex and violence.

No, I mean getting drunk in GTA has all the negatives but none of the positives. So itâs frankly just a pain in the arse. It hurts my eyes and itâs hard to drive or walk for that matter. Niko never gets a little drunk, he always gets completely smashed. Plus, itâs not too good for getting favour with her.
Besides, I already know I need to get out more.
Just came across these two anti-GTA: IV you tube vids. Itâs by supreme douche bag Glenn Beck.

I havenât played the game yet(canât afford a 360), but in the second video a Prosecutor whoâs trying to bring Rockstar games up on charges states that âYou can walk into an adult strip club and have oral and anal sex.â I know strip clubs are in the game and you can get private dances like in past games, but can you actually have sex, let alone anal sex? I love the Grand Theft Auto games but if thatâs true it seems a bit silly and unnesessary. Itâs Jack Thompson saying this though and heâs been getting his ass handed to him in court by Rockstar for almost a decade. Just curious.
EDIT: Sorry if this has been brought up already. I didnât want to scan the topic for fear of storyline spoilers.
I am totally hooked on GTA IV i played for like 6 hours the other day when i was off ill from work (I have an X-Box 360). It is excellent and i give it 10/10. The graphics are fantastic and there is not one bit of the map that has nothing on it, unlike San Andreas.

Not that I know of. Iâm pretty sure heâs full of shit. I think heâs talking about that video that heâs using as ammunition against Rockstar which has scenes in which the strippers simulate oral and anal sex, much like a real lap dance. But as for real anal or oral sex, I havenât encountered it.
i think that was cut out of the Aussie version, not sure if thats even posible in the uncut version anway
does anyone play online ps3? my names mrblodne22 if anyone wants too play
