GTA IV

[tnf]

Just watched a comedy show - again, the level of detail in this is nuts. Going to the hassle of multiple stand ups making Liberty City specific jokes and whatnot during their fully motion captured acts.

When do the helicopter tours open up? I have the icon on the map, but no heli there.

[Transient]

Go to Fishmarket South on the center island. There's a pier with about 5 different tours on it. It's not the same as the heli tours that Brucie does.

[tnf]

Yea, that is what i mean...at fishmarket south, there are no helis on that pier. The icon is there for heli tours, but no copters there...just an empty pier.

so killing playboy is definitely the better option right? Seems like killing dwayne doesn't give any benefits worth shit (like has been mentioned here).

[Transient]

Then they are all out taking random people on tours. Drive a block away and come back and some might spawn there. It seems to be random which are there and which are not. It might also be plot-driven when they even show up, but they were there for me at about the halfway point in the story.

And yes, your assumption is correct.

[Big Kahuna Burger]

well this is awesome. i can't beat the mission where you chase the bikers through the subway system because i keep falling through the ground when the world doesn't load fast enough :3

[Transient]

I've never fallen through the floor due to that. Where is it happening? Random places?

[Big Kahuna Burger]

yeah random places in the subway tunnels. it hasn't been in the same place twice. i wonder if i'm following too closely or something

[Big Kahuna Burger]

hah nevermind. i guess i was going too fast... my roommate just beat it and it was his first time playing GTA. i am officially too good for my own good

[ending spoilers]

The ending was pretty satisfying. I totally expected Kate to die at the wedding, especially after she opened up to Niko on the ride there. I didn't know who was going to do it, though. Out of curiosity, who did NOT kill Dimitri (or chose both options using different save files)? I want to know if the end changes significantly if you don't kill him, or if the story pretty much forces you to kill him regardless.

Don't put an ending spoiler in here yet! Most of us are nowhere near finishing!

[Transient]

Then don't highlight my post, douchebag.

[xer0s]

Oh I didn't even look. I thought your sig was the spoiler.

[tnf]

just tried the bank robber mission - that is insane.


I died in the fucking subway. Whats the best strategy for maintaining your health during this mission?

[xer0s]

I passed that mission first try and I wish I hadn't just so I could play it again. It was amazing. I had full health and armor going in and used the AK through the whole battle. Thats really all I can tell ya.

Get a half dozen grenades to use against the cop cars. It'll take out a ton of the cops using them as cover.

[tnf]

Anyone seen the statue of happiness easter egg? Was kind of tricky but I managed to land the heli on the platform you enter the door through, wedging it between the wall of the building and the other edge.

[Mat Linnett]

Heh, I just jumped out of the heli when I thought I was in the right place.

Although my best heli flying effort was flying under the bridge in Middle Park trying to figure out which bridge I was missing for the achievement. It didn't count, but I thought it was still a cool thing to have done.

At least you get a new 360 now. I've been waiting for mine to shit out on me so I can send it in for a new one...

2? Then check the cables in the back.

This was MS's biggest fuck up, they made the console spout cavrious red rings depending on which error the console gets. Remember the console red rings even if there is no cable in. Unfortunatly, a lot of people send them back thinking its dead, rather than using common sense and checking everything...
