Sambob Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Jonny is awesome, i like him more than Nic. Ive just done a particularly epic mission where i was sat on the back of Malc's bike and i had to take out all the police cars whilst he drove. Its was fucking awesome, i could play a whole game based on that. Also, when you have to pick up Marta the drug runner you have to take out all the surrounding police before you can escape the airport. I had Terry and Clay to back me up and to be fair to them they was bustin wigs, but when a police chopper arrived it was up to me. I still had an RPG from a previous mission at the airport so i whipper it out and fired one time. I thought id missed but the rocket hit the tail at the back of the chopper and sent it spiralling down to the elavated highway above, then the fucking thing bounced and landed in the middle of all the police, then it exploded taking out half the force! I was whooping and hollering like i was Sambob at a JLS concert. These moments make this game special. That bit in that game with the JLS concert is immense.

illdog Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 After TLAD it was straight on to Gay Tony. New favorite character: Luis. Ive enjoyed this episode so far more than Lost and Damned, its a bit lighter, less serious and has Gay Tony in it. Loving Yusef and Mori too. My only problem is that i think im suffering from GTA overkill as im finding myself wanting it to finish before its time. Maybe i should give it a break and go back with a fresh head so as not to resent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yeah I would've given it a bit of a break after TLAD. Everyone seems to prefer Gay Tony, I must be in the minority as I enjoyed TLAD much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I decided to set about completing TBOGT and TLATD last night for some post LA Noire Rockstar play. The faces are rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Some very talented people have been modding the fuck out of the PC version. Apparently this will run on a decent computer as well, you don't need no uber beast to get it running at a decent rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Wow, that looks amazing. Although those ultra detailed models real-life cars do kind of show off how ropey the car handling in GTA IV was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Apparently, it's something they are working on. The night time bit blew me away when I saw it, it looks so realistic. Hopefully when next gen comes all games will look as awesome as this does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 When people say they don't see the point in bringing on the next gen as they can't see where the improvements can come in, this is how silly they look. It drives me insane, they say it every generation and simply do not learn. GTA IV has already aged pretty badly, that's getting astonishingly close to reality!

retroed Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 As long as they can bring the framerate up in the next generation as well. That looks a bit juddery. GTAIV vanilla was like that too in parts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The framerate staggers because he's running FRAPS to record. You are right though, they need to lock everything in at 60FPS for the next gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellow Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Check my bump suckers! Got this for buttons on an Xbox sale and I have to say I'm really loving my playthru, my first in well over a decade. It's running at 60 FPS I think, very smooth especially in vehicles, and the action isn't bad considering. But I always thought it was the characters that shone in 4, and the overarching revenge thread. I think 5 is on sale too. I might grab it because I was doing an FPS playthru when it was on gamepass, and then they pulled it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinymcshine Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Wonder if they've ever fixed that glitch where (ending 'spoiler'): Spoiler I took the ending which got Kate killed, then later on still got a phonecall from her about going out on a date....! 23 minutes ago, DisturbedSwan said: Christ, blast from the past seeing this thread pop up.

one-armed dwarf Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Looking at that mod posted above, even taking the framerate into account the OG game looks better imo. I was playing this again a few years ago, Gay Tony I think. It's a very gray game but there's lots of cool physics in it. When you crash your car it's really intense in a way that the more modern V does not do, I feel like I remember Lost and Damned being better than the main game as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimboxy Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I'm surprised from reading back over this how much we all seemed to like IV (I know I had a good time with it, but history doesn't seem to have been kind to it) and how short the main game seemed to be. I'm tempted to replay it, as I never played the DLC but it seemed to be full priced still, so no dice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 GTAIV is like a forgotten game. Part of me wonders is it cause of the headache of licensing music, which they regularly patch out of the PC version I'm up for a forum playthrough @bellow, I'll finish out the Ballad of Gay Tony and we can exchange notes. Could be interesting to revisit in this post Cyberpunk 2077 climate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I just recall that compared to GTA SA & VC it felt that GTA IV had all the 'fun' sucked out of it. Then along came Saints Row 2, which felt fun and so much better than the grim & grey GTA IV experience. The 'funny' thing was that I bought a 360 rather than PS3 as MS had some sort of time exclusivity for the DLC - but then I never actually bothered getting it (years later I bought TLatD and was underwhelmed, I never got Gay Tony). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
