by **Steady** » May 12th, 2008, 7:44 pm

Yeah I got mine friday, been playing it on the weekend.
I forgot how much GTA annoyed me when I failed a mission and had to start from the start again.
Its pretty fcken sick but, its hard to do good skids, but the tyre smoke is pretty cool how it looks like its really peeling off, I like it.

by **eb pete** » May 14th, 2008, 10:08 pm

Got it yesturday after i borrowed a mates PS3 and i've been playing it since. i'm going to try doing it with no cheats to start with for once.

by **Jake** » May 14th, 2008, 10:26 pm

Do you still get a shot gun when you jump in a cop car?

by **[Sterling]** » May 15th, 2008, 5:44 am

Actual pigeons.

head to this website in game.

http://www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com and there are maps for where guns, pigeons ect are. You never get introduced to the pigeons, you just find them.

It's so annoying that you attract attention from the police when you are just trying to muck around. I have the cheat to put your wanted level down but it is a pain in the ass having to bring up your phone and activate it all the time. I wish there was a cheat to make you invisible to the police.

There are so many police it is actually getting annoying.

<------------------------------------- made this to keep myself amused

by **Wave_Man** » May 27th, 2008, 7:09 pm

I don't own a console but i was playing and watching a mate play GTA4 last night... Biggest downfall i could see was how it jerked up... like WTF is with that! and the massive loading time at the start... It reminded me why i play computer not console...

Big plus is the Special Effects on the explosions. They look fully sikk--- shame it jerks the **** up when they happen tho.

by **Malakai** » May 27th, 2008, 8:57 pm

What the hell were you playing it on man? It is absolutely flawless on my XBOX 360. There is a little montage that you have to sit through when the game first loads but that is it. I can fly around the whole map as fast as I can in a helicopter and there is not one sign of a dropped frame or a load point. I've played some pretty intense scenes of game play too and I have never seen any sign of it slowing down.

I prefer when he kicks the window in then steals the car, I love that. From what I can tell he only does that when you try and take a parked car from the kerb side.

by **YBYAVL** » May 27th, 2008, 9:21 pm

ye, he onli dus it wen hes on the footapath, high enuff for the window....

I've only seen it on a PS3... And yeah, it was doing it a bit... Mainly During explosions

I can't remember the Name of the TV but it was New, screwed to the wall. Even if it was the TV wouldn't cause the sound to stuff up too.

Isn't there two versons of the PS3?

by **AaronEF8** » May 28th, 2008, 6:48 pm

There is but they both have the same basic hardware.

Is overheating a problem on PS3's like it is/was on 360's? Could be causing it.

by **LTDHO** » May 30th, 2008, 3:29 pm

Check out this thread.

I am convinced that GTA Melbourne would be the best.

fuk that was sik...awesome detail in the cars an bikes n shit
scarface mansion an so on...great mod

by **Malakai** » May 31st, 2008, 7:35 am

Speaking of mapping game maps on real life locations. At my work some of the guys that have worked there for a few years longer than me have made a counter strike map out of the whole building. It's extremely detailed. The only thing is that none of them are pros at doing that sort of thing so the textures aren't optimised. Any more than a few players and bots and the performance goes to shit.

It's pretty cool playing a location that you know in a game though.

by **Gozza** » March 19th, 2009, 3:56 pm

is anyone still playing this. I got the shits and quit half way through. Things like not being able to buy houses. No garages and no car modding ruined it for me.

But i just started playing again and im enjoying it more the second time round Oh and i got 199 Pigeons but i had them all ticked off on my map. That really fucking annoyed me. But im doing it all again haha

by **travs ea-xr6** » March 19th, 2009, 4:06 pm

i want to get it ive been playing call of duty 4 and 5 online versing people,its sick as,how much is gta now for ps3.

who else here plays call of duty 4 or 5 online

by **Steady** » March 19th, 2009, 4:28 pm

I finished it, then got massively bored cause there is no easy ways to make bulk cash once you've done all the good shit.
I downloaded the add on "lost and the damned" or whatever, that was pretty sick, full bikie kunt, automatic pistol and sawnoff shotty are good value.
Get to cruise in formation with other bikie kunts, i rate it.
Your club don't even have a lab though so that sucks arse.
I was hoping one mission would be "kidnap a cook".
Also too short, finished it pretty quick.

by **Malakai** » March 19th, 2009, 4:35 pm

I got bored trying the last mission over and over again and not getting to the trail bike in time to chase the dude getting away in the speedboat. I've just been mucking around since, I'll go back and do it one day. I still claim I have finished the game though.

by **[Sterling]** » March 19th, 2009, 6:11 pm

i gave up lol, need to buy wireless again so i can play online much funner.

by **EF ECTIV** » March 19th, 2009, 10:06 pm

I thought it was pretty sweet... finished it a couple of months ago, the whole not
being able to buy houses was fuckin shit though... Overall still an awesome game....

by **LTDHO** » March 20th, 2009, 6:36 am

I booted it up the other week and LOL'd at the last save date.

I went in and completed some missions.

Then called it quits again, I don't want to finish it to soon, as it gets really boring unlike the older GTA's.

by **Allen** » March 20th, 2009, 7:39 am

I did the whole story first time around with no worries, and got bored pretty quick.

So I decided to do the whole story again without any cheats at all, making difference decisions throughout the story to see how the ending differed... Its still a bit of a shit ending though.

Only really use the PS3 for Blu-Ray these days... I need some more games!

by **EFFalcon** » March 20th, 2009, 8:09 am

i got to about 80% then lost my save game

started playing COD5 instead

Who is online
