i'm going to spin by during lunch to pick it up. i love the GTA series, love sandbox type games becuase you dont have any real rules to follow, your allowed to do what ever you want in those games!! none of that stupid bullshit where roads are blocked off and **** like that

lol i rmember playing the GTA3 and that city being blocked until you finished a certain mission. i said fkk that and just swam all the way to the next town. that's what i love about these games, they are open for you to figure out different ways to think about the same situation

Not really a fan.. gets real boring, real quick for me.

I did go to Wal-mart at midnight with my room mate though. I might borrow it when he's done with it.. then again probably not.

Been playing it since Saturday. It's actually a really good game and the graphics are way better than the previous series.

Eh?

All the GTA games I've played since GTAIII have blocked off sections of the city at the beginning. In San Andreas, the cops will come own your *** if you attempt to swim across.

GTAIV is no different. Gotta play within a section of the city at the beginning.

Cheat codes FTMFW! I'm a lazy bum, I guess, but I always go and look up the cheat codes right away. So I never had probs with the maps being blocked off, due to me unlocking them all. I don't like doing missions as much as just free roam, so I just use the codes for the cool and funny stuff. Like the code where all the women are 'magnetized' to the guy, or the one where all the cars jump up and down, or the codes where you can get rocket launchers and flamethrowers..lol..good stuff.

So there was no wait at wal-mart? I reserved the POS at gamestop too. They want you to wait from 9pm - 12 just for the game.

Anyone have a word on GTA4 for PC? The mouse is so much easier for me when it comes to any kind of shooters.

Picked it up from Fry's today on my lunch break, going to check it out when I get home tonight. I read an article about some people getting lock ups on the intro sequence with no workaround from Rockstar yet. Anyone experience this?

Word. I always wait for GTA to come out on PC because I like the game play MUCH better. It usually takes forever to come out on PC though.

GTA is by far my favorite series, and I cant wait to play the new one. It usually keeps me occupied for a few months.

So I got my copy this afternoon, and proceeded to play the game. After approx. 10 minutes I managed to try to steal a car, the car was locked. So nothing like a trusty elbow to break out a window. Then I got in the car, hotwired that ho, and what do you know? A g-damn cop....So what else to do? Get out your stolen car, pull out your nine and shoot the damn pig. What other messages do we need to send out to the rest of the world? I love this ******* series

Yes, not to mention mods. Before long (after the release of the PC version), you would have people making Ferraris, Corvettes and F-bodies for the game.

I just bought Silent Hunter 4 so that's going to keep me busy through the summer. I really liked SH 3 but was hungering for a Pacific based sub sim.
