What little things have you noticed that are just awesome?

--If your car dies, call 911 on the cell phone and it will start up.
--The garbage trucks actually pick up trash
--flashing high beams at someone from behind, and watching them re-adjust their mirror.

[DeaconBlade]

well can't wait to try it out.

[Rhyme]

I had no clue about the 911 thing nice!
HOw the hell do you hail a cab? LOL!

[DJSteel]

I bowled, played darts, got drunk.. just another day in Liberty City...lol

--I was walking along the beach and saw some dude jogging in a track suit. I decided to follow and afterwhile he pulled out a water bottle and chugged it, then bent over, resting with his hands on his knees. He then continued to jog, and a minute later broke into a sprint, I followed him and he took me away from the beach, over behind some building. He zipped down his track suit and looked as if he was about to piss, but then he looked at me awkwardly and said "could you stop following me man, I'm kinda busy here". This made my jaw literally drop, I was like holy crap, that's crazy. The fact that he recognized that I was following him was insane, and the whole peeing thing a few minutes (equivalent to about an hour in the game world) after chugging a water bottle was just wow. God bless this game :D

--Getting complimented by Michelle for my glasses on a date.
Took them off the next date and she asked "What happened to your glasses? I really liked them, they suited you."

--Little Jakob blazing the car out

[Sirharper]

Yeah, what's with that? 3 dances are you're bounced?

[Camera Vixen]

The drunk driving is crazy! I watched Rhyme playing and I felt like I was rocking on a boat LOL

[Viper86]

I called the cops once and they told me they were to busy to come out. That was kind of funny. Then I called the paramedics and they told me they would send a "basically trained paramedic" to my location.

[Rhyme]

Yeah, what's with that? 3 dances are you're bounced?


LOL no I think I bumped her when I got up and she ran out.

[DJSteel]

I tried hijacking a plane... you can't do that.. but it was hilarious to see the Army come after you once you get into the Landing Strip

[blazsox]

If you dial 948-555-0100 you get the service ZiT which will text you the song name and artist you are listening to.

Cool feature. I am glad Lazlow is back on the airwaves (Integrity Radio). It was initially mentioned he would not be in this one.

[Sirharper]

LOL no I think I bumped her when I got up and she ran out.

Exact same thing happened to me last night. After the 3rd dance I was fighting my way out the door. I hopped in a car and ran the 4 bouncers over. :coolguy:

That actually happened to me when I tried to steal a car. Before I could get the door open, the driver took off and dragged me a long for a while.

[Rhyme]

Off subject a little but any suggestions on where to take Michelle for dates all the options I have at the moment are bowling , Freak show thing. , pool?

[Viper86]

Bowling, pool, and a restaurant are the only places I've taken her too.

[DJSteel]

lol.. I took michelle out and I accidentally shot my pistol and she said " I don't need this shit. I'm outta here." Now she isn't returning my call... man except the pistol firing.. it's very much like my life lol...

[Rhyme]

lmao I took her bowling and had no money so I went outside and stabbed a guy and payed for the game LMAO!! she stood there and watched.

[blazsox]

Couple more little things I have found/noticed:

- No parachutes, so if you freefall from a chopper you will die (and you die in style :afro:)
- No hidden packages, instead you have to find 200 pigeons and shoot them
- Seems to be no Firefighting or Ambulance missions.
- Taxi missions are all done through Roman's Car Service, nowhere near as fun as the previous GTAs.
- Vigilante missions are police blotter controlled
- Where's rampage?

[TXPaladin]

- Where's rampage?

Thought the whole game was that way if you wanted? Just run around and shoot any AI walking around and take what ever you want and do what ever.

[DJSteel]

i found the attack chopper.. it's in the airport..far left...the only problem is you'll automatically get 3-4 stars... I also played some multiplayer last night... the racing was alright, cops and robbers is fun as hell, and bomb da base II is my favorite mode..

[AeroHudson]

There's a freaking beating heart inside the Statue of Liberty. I originally thought you couldn't get inside but if you take a chopper and jump out near the base of the statue you can get in. Weird stuff! :)

[aquaboy1976]

When I went to pick up Michelle for the first date with her last night, I stole a city bus. I was bummed I couldn't use that for our date :(

[Viper86]

I noticed if you do a burnout long enough, the rear tires will go flat and eventually blow out.

[Bobby Crougar]

While in a multiplayer match you can call someone on the other team using the cell phone. It's pretty damn funny too.


**I'm coming for you mofo!**

[Bobby Crougar]

Yup

[Rhyme]

:) Sweet!

[DJSteel]

nothing makes your week more than playing GTA IV Multiplayer and seeing: 'DJSteel drops a helicopter on Hadley1979'

**I'm coming for you mofo!**

lmfao, bobby was on the other team and i ran down on him while he was in a car and shot him to death. I had to call him next round and let him know!!!!!

[Lady_F]

DAMN I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS GAME.... maybe it is time that I get back onto the XBOX and kick my son off!!!

[paniro777]

ok, i was out on a date with michelle on our way in to shoot darts, minding our own business, and 2 guys were outside drinking, and one said to michelle "hey girl, show me your tits"!!!! So I proceeded to beat the guy up. She got mad at me though and ended the date. Was i wrong? lol

when faced with police it seems to be better to die than get taken in. The hospital doesn't seem to mind allowing you to keep your guns.

Just finished a mission, was inside a apartment building all the way on the top(10 flrs maybe) floor. Shot my gun by mistake and the cops dispatched to my location "shots fired in southside apartment building". Cops arrived and i thought they were on the way up, they were right outside on the radar now. I panicked ran up the stairs hopin the rooftop door would open and it did. Saw a fire escape, jumped off the roof but too far, my feet clipped the fire escape and i fell to my death. Dammit, thought i was homefree.

[Sirharper]

Has anybody tried to shoot Michelle?

[Rhyme]

Has anybody tried to shoot Michelle?

LMAO dude I was talking about this at lunch because she calls me continuously now. I got the Hot Coffee do I still need her?

[Sirharper]

Bust a cap!

Smoke her before she breaks up with you. lol

[Rhyme]

O she is going to die tonight im tired of her complaining about bowling anyways LOL.

[Viper86]

Michelle is a part of the story. Not sure if you can kill her or not.

[blazsox]

Anyone know if there are any bomb shops? Like in the previous GTAs there were 8-ball bomb shops to rig your car with an explosive.

Are they in GTA IV? I loved that shop. I would pile tens of cars together and in the middle would be my explosive car.

Want to get the framerate super slow and ****ed up on the PS2? Do just that ;)

[DJSteel]

there is 8-ball.. but I haven't used it yet..

[blazsox]

The only 8-ball I know of is the pool hall.

[DJSteel]

oh.. yeah I haven't done that either.. i did have to do a mission with a bomb on a truck

[blazsox]

Yeah I did that one, that's what got me thinking "where can I rig my cars up with bombs?"

[DJSteel]

maybe when you open up the industrial island

[blazsox]

Has anybody been able to open their trunks? I know it was a rumor and not fact, but storing weapons/bodies in your trunk was an appealing feature.

In a few missions you store things in a trunk

[AeroHudson]

I know that through the relationships you manage that one of the abilities you unlock is calling in bombs that you can use on cars and other targets.

[Viper86]

I've been dating this new girl named Kiki. At first she was cool because she could get the cops off of me. She works with the DA or something like. I however made the mistake of taking her to the club and she got drunk. All of a sudden she started going off how on I was looking at other woman and how she thinks I'm seeing other woman. I figured she was just doing that because she was drunk. I've taken her out several times since than and she just won't let it go.

Now she keeps text messaging me with stupid stuff like "when your not out with your other sl**s, call me." I'm thinking about dumping the psycho but I'm afraid she'll send all the cops after me if I do.

[Sirharper]

I am interested to know when (as in percentage complete) and how you met Kiki.

[Viper86]

I met Kiki through that online dating thing. Her screen name was LAWGIRL or something like that. I think you can meet her at any time as long as she accepts your date request. You might have to wait until you unlock the second island though.

[blazsox]

Kate's a brick wall. Therefore I am now boning Carmen.

[Viper86]

Kate's a brick wall. Therefore I am now boning Carmen.

Yeah Kate is pretty boring. I called her once and she thought I was dead. Haven't met Carmen yet.

[blazsox]

She is also through the Love meet.

[Sirharper]

LOL...I must suck at internet dating. The only one so far that would go out with me is that gay guy. :conf:

[Rhyme]

LOL...I must suck at internet dating. The only one so far that would go out with me is that gay guy. :conf:

LMAO Yeah me too. Im working on lawgirl now though.

[Viper86]

LOL...I must suck at internet dating. The only one so far that would go out with me is that gay guy. :conf:

I got turned down by 3 or 4 other woman before Kiki accepted. Keep trying. :p

[AeroHudson]

LOL...I must suck at internet dating. The only one so far that would go out with me is that gay guy. :conf:

Ditto. I'll need to give that a try again as well.

Up until now I was busy trying to unlock the helicopter perk with Brucie which I did 2 nights ago.

BTW, don't let the "like" meter fall below an 81% on folks you already have some perks with (i.e. LJ with buying guns). If you do, you will then have to work the level back up before they help you out again.

[Bobby Crougar]

He stole my car!!!!

I had a very nice Turismo parked in front of my safe house (the 2nd one).


...in the middle of me losing a 5 star wanted level I drove pass the above safe house only to notice a suspicious individual approaching the shinny red product of my affection aka I saw the mofo inside a car dealer and decided to take it for a spin even though the business was closed! I thought nothing of it at the time but when I decided to take a nap after a long day of killing, shooting, and being a nice guy (had to help the old ladies cross the street) I noticed my Tourismo was gone!!! WTF he stole my ride!!! So if you ever see any white males about 6' 2" wearing blue jeans and a shirt please proceed to beat the living shit out of him for bobby. Thanks

[DJSteel]

i found a glitch in the game, I had to revert to an old save to get past this part. I was

completing the Elizabeta mission and driving Playboy X to his place in Algonquin. After I completed it, Playboy X mission appeared, and the ? appeared on the pier, but I couldn't select either mission. I couldn't figure it out.

I had two cars parked outside my safe house once. Like you, I decided to take a nap and when I woke up, both cars were gone. I wasn't happy about that.

Glad I wasn't the only one. Same thing happened to me. The only thing I can figure is that I received a phone call from LJ almost simultaneously after I finished this mission and it must have screwed things up. I couldn't start any mission at that point and also had to reload an old save.

I would highly recommend saving multiple files. I am using 8 of the slots at this time.

[Rhyme]

Wow that sucks DJ I made it past those points glitch free thank goodness LOL!

[DJSteel]

i have 4 saves..

[paniro777]

doh, i only have one save, better make a few.

[blazsox]

I was walking Kiki home from a date (you can date her from the Internet), and while on the way this taxi plows right into us and jams us both up against a wall. The driver in the meantime flew out of the windshield and on top of Kiki on the ground.

We just walked out of the Comedy Club when this happened.

Gotta love the little things.

[Da Rafsta]

I found this quote to be rather funny.

Patrick: I heard about a big shipment coming in near the fish market. The triads are expecting something and it smells fishy.

Nico: The fish market smells fishy?

Patrick: Shit, man. I keep forgetting you're not from here. Something smellin' fishy means that it ain't quite right. So, this shipment smellin' fishy means that it ain't gonna be what they say it is.

Nico: But, if it's going to the fish market they must be saying that it's fish.

Patrick: So?

Nico: So if this shipment is what they say it is, then it's going to smell fishy anyway.

Patrick: Shut the **** up. You think you're a comedian, don't ya? Learn the damn language.http://www.encircling.us/forums/images/smilies/lol.gif

[blazsox]

**SOMEWHAT SPOILER**

Man I have never seen an Infernus in this game. I have kept the one Bernie gave you, but I am afraid to drive it around much because I don't want to lose such a sweet car.

Has anyone seen this car at all driving around?

[blazsox]

How does one get 6 stars? Highest I've gotten was 5 the whole game, and in my attempt to get 6 I got the Annhilator, equipped myself heavily with assault rifle, grenades and rocket launchers and flew to the Alderney State Correctional Facility. After a 10 minute battle with cops, I still did not get 6 stars, but only 5.

I want the Army to come in and kick my ass...how does one go about doing this? Heh. I'll find a way eventually

[DJSteel]

the easiest way to do it.. is to start a new game and break the police barricade to the other islands.

[Rhyme]

I haven't seen any army on there yet only like FBI types.

[blazsox]

Ive been playing a lot of GTA IV again lately trying to get that full 100%. I am up to around 75%. I finished all missions except Little Jacob. Right now my goal is to find all the pigeons. I have 98 of 200 left. I don't use guide books, they take all the fun away.

I spent all of today searching all of Alderney, I'm 99% sure I got all the pigeons there as. I literally searched every single building, every single minor/major hiding spot, etc...

I've also been trying to find any exotic cars that just can't be found in the game very often (if at all). The Infernus is damn near impossible to find.

I lost the one Bernie gave me.

Supposedly the car spawns outside of Pizza Salad but that was a glitch when you had the Stevie missions active (I already beat Stevie). There seems to be no definite spot to find it, but one of these days I'll find it and get it back. I found the hiding spot of the Sultan RL (or RS, whatever its abbreviated as). The Super GT is another one I can never find.

What sucks is that for the longest time I couldnt find any Banshees. Suddenly one (in-game) day I found a whole mess of 'em so I got 2 parked outside each of my safehouses. I did this to future sell these to Stevie for weapon cash. Well, I was running low on cash today so I decided to sell in some Banshees. Damn things are only worth $2000 in prime condition. Instead I just go to the Turismo dealership right next to one of your safehouses in Algonquin and cash those suckers in. They are worth $11000 in prime if I remember right.

I also finally found a Couquette again. Not a big fan of the car, but havent seen it in forever.

If anyone knows where an Infernus can be found, please let me know. I've searched for hours :)

[Bobby Crougar]

This is the best I could do....


http://www.truveo.com/gta-4-infernus-REAL-location/id/1954570435

...or you could do the races and steal one from your competitors....or cheat.

[blazsox]

I tried that a few days ago, its fake IMO. Ive never seen a car already running and being parked at the same time.

I don't think the Army comes after you, only the FBI

[DiscLizard]

I got 6 stars and ran away. This was before I had gotten the achievement for running away from 4 stars... To my surprise, I didn't get the achievement for having eluded 4 stars while I actually eluded 6 stars!

Best way to get away IMHO is to run into a Subway tunnel and run on the tracks... if the cops can't physically see you, they eventually lose you.
