In some ways I'm still a kid myself, really. Maybe that's why I feel very strongly about parental guidance. I never negotiate with kids, it makes them uncertain and gives them a fake sense of control (which they are aware of). Of course kids should have their own space where they can do what they like while nobody enters. But as soon as children enter grown-up spaces in this world (like adult games), they need an adult companion, someone who loves them, who explains things, and who sets an example if need be.Quote:

I teach them all the four-letter words so they will never be impressed by them, and I also teach them how proper language can be much more effective, and deadly.. It's simple really, it just takes some effort.

I think they have a DVD-series out with the music of all the stations, but it seems they integrated Radio Los Santos with Playback FM on one DVD -- this while RLS is teh favorite station among GTA players!
P.S. Speaking of GTA/SA, does anyone know a way around the PC 'cheat bug'? There are so many cheat codes for this game and they can be entered so easily in the screen that you sometimes activate a cheat unknowingly. From then on your game is fubar. Is there a way to block the console registering code?
I've never actually encountered this problem before-- the cheat codes seem to be totally random, and spread across the keyboard. Which cheats did you activate?
I don't know! It doesn't say so anywhere..Quote:

So, who already knew that GTA IV will include drink-driving?

Yeah, while it is meant to show the stupidity of drink driving, i can tell the media will instantly latch on to it and say that this 'evil' game is promoting drink driving to our poor dear children, rather than focusing on what it's doing to help show the stupidity of it, and just why our poor dear children are playing it anyway.Quote:

Would be nice to have the choice to play 'drunk' all the time though.
Btw, what do you think would be the age of the protagonist in the game? Chap looks pretty old in the trailers.......
I hope the devs won't wax educational on the issue. Pullease. It'll be fun to find out how many homies, cops and Grannies you can crush on the streets in a fit of drunkenness. Just like it's fun to try and waste as many cops in one go, without either dying or pay-'n'-sprayin. Molotov cocktails are great for that. Also, it pays off to stop a lot of cars in a street (park your own car across the road to begin with, kill some other drivers, etcetera) and once you have built up a nice traffic jam, set of a chain reaction with a bazooka or a well-aimed shot into a gas tank. "Vavoom!" goes a [insert racial expletive] from the dockside..Quote:

Seeing those gameplay videos I really like how big cars finally are, they look way more realistic. Not only that it looks like they will also feel a lot heavier and will behave more properly, when you drive them. The game is all about driving something for me, I mean you spent over 80% of your time driving in the previous games. So, the whole driving part is very important.
I don't like the camera while driving though. If you make sudden turn, the camera seems to be horribly late (like in San Andreas) from that. So for some time you will drive forward not knowing if there is somebody in front of you or not. Maybe I just need to get used to it and I'll be fine with it.
Anyway got to be patient and wait for some full reviews.
Apparently its being pirated heavily... is that ironic or poetic?
I saw all the videos and the review on GameTrailers and I was never sooo close to buying a PS3 before. Unfortunately I'm lacking a monitor to use it with so I'm looking at 750-1000 EUR total(hehe, well, not including the game) if I want a proper 24" monitor for it. It looks like I won't be playing this anytime soon. :sweatdrop:

It's more like poetic. GTA along with Need for Speed and Call of Duty are the most pirated games on the internet. On peak times on torrents, you could find round 1000 NFS Pro Street seeders and 2000 leechers.
Oooh. Chap in my house has got it, and it's sweet.
Back in a few weeks ~D
let's tread carefully on the piracy issue please guys.
Of those that have got it, would you recommend it?
At the risk of joining the hype, I'd give that a whole-harted yes. Visually stunning, extremely funny, best characters I've seen in ages, and I had plenty of fun in two hours gameplay thus far without even starting on the story missions properly. There are probably faults, but I'd be surprised if they're anything but minor nitpicking.
Uhh, I seem to have lost the thread of conversation here, what game are we talking about? GTA IV still has to be released right?

So shortly, if you liked some of the GTA games before you will probably like this one too.
For PC players wondering how is it to play with controller instead of mouse + keyboard. Well, it's up to you because I can, but that's just me. Then again I find myself open minded and flexible on that issue, willing to learn to handle it. So, I think that it comes down to the attitude, controls aren't perfect in my opinion, but you will learn to handle them.
In case where someone who hasn't ever played one yet. GTA series is all about humor and highly sarcastic one too. Adult games as they are, even despite that I find the violence highly cartoonish to take it seriously. Every single thing in the series is over the top, things are too cocky, too hostile, too angry, too happy, too friendly and so on. The main plot in every single edition from III to IV is to live "The American Dream", and that is also the biggest sarcastic "thing" in the game. You come from nothing on to the top, well sort of like that. These games have a lot of driving and somewhat shooting (you can also fly), that's pretty much it. But there is so much more in to them, so much more to do.

But, seriously, GTA IV is definitely the best GTA yet and the amount of detail put into the revamped Liberty City is unreal. Any fans of past GTA games will love this one. But unlike past GTA games, the actual driving takes some strategy and luck to master, as it seems to reflect a bit of a Midnight Club or Driver influence with vastly improved vehicle physics.
Sucks, though, when you find out "Michelle's" ulterior motive.

Perhaps. But I think GTA IV comes as damn near close as I've ever seen a game. The sheer scale is incredible, and the basic gameplay spot on. Cars are a joy to drive and there's always something to do, even outside the storylines. There may be minor niggles but I've rarely played a game which just feel so right to play and so polished in production values.Quote:

Heard that PC version is due in October.
I'm going to start playing this in a bit, the 360 version. :sweatdrop: As I said over in the "What are you playing?" topic chances are evenly split between my hating it or liking it enough that I can tolerate the aspects which don't appeal to me.

Any tips for a frog new to the series?
You're saying you don't like anything the GTA games are all about.... :no:Quote:
