Hey fellas I had a GTA IV question since I"m playing it for the first time, this is the only active GTA thread also.

Anyway, I noticed there's body armor across the street from Roman's place, I figured how to get there but not how to jump down to the platform with the armor, when I hit the button, Niko leaps over the edge and smashes into the pavement below completely missing the platform and armor, anyone know what I have to do to just lightly jump over and grab that armor?

There's one on the steps of a brownstone near the roundabout. Much easier to get. I marked it and never moved my map marker so I wouldn't forget.

It's one of those two dots. I think. I dunno. Haven't played it since TLatD came out. gently caress, that DLC was depressing. v:geno:v


Man, those Nigel missions are something else. :stare:

Pißwasser is down to 4.13$. I really want to jump on soon. Especially since I missed the Hawk and Little spike from 0.48 to 2.66$ that happened yesterday.

I regret only purchasing 2500 shares of H&L. :sigh:

Yeah, the game is pretty unbalanced as far as the freeaim went, so my gunfights now pretty much consist of me constantly pressing on LT to lock on to a target, shooting them, letting go of the buttons, then immediately hitting LT again to lock onto the next opponent. Rinse and repeat until everyone is dead.

Third person shooters have never gotten aiming right.
They all use an accelerating mouselook (for lack of a better term; I don't PC game) instead of a smooth, constant speed, like CoD's. Whether GoW, GRAW/GRFS, or some other game.

Also, the OP about the torture scene is incorrect, the wrench is used to hit the guy in the nuts, not the knees.

Depends on the order you choose. A wrench to start will smash him in the knee, I guess choosing it later will give a nut shot

It might be random then, because the wrench was what I started off with when Trevor nutcracked the dude.

Not all Canadians have accents.

Except for every Canadian outside of Ontario eh? :banjo:

Ontario is the most neutral, and it gets more stereotypical the further West you go.
If you go East, you get classic Quebecois before the weird Maritimer French/Irish/Scottish/English accent ya'll have out there.

One of the rampages expands on Trevor's canadianess and shows how he feels about the accent. It's perfect.

The first time I used a helicopter I landed it slightly crooked and when I exited I was killed by the blades.

I was doing that heist mission in the gameplay trailer; wrapped it up nicely with no problems.
I come in for a landing to finish the mission, and I land on the two loving FIB agents, failing the mission.

Thank God for checkpoints.

For what it's worth, Stamina/Strength determines your character height and complexion.
If they're low, you're shorter than Lamar and he points it out, plus your character has like, bruises on his face or some poo poo.

Legal Work, Hanging with Friends/Family, and Sports/Working Out raises Strength & Stamina at the expense of driving.
Sleeping increases almost all skills by a little.

And anything that raises Driving (you can technically hit 3 bars to start) will absolutely gently caress your Strength and Stamina.

I know everybody is busy posting about how a major online thing is having a rough opening, but I'm just now playing the game for the first time and holy moly it's so much funnier than sadsack GTAIV.

Like when you take Michael clothes shopping for his job interview? The look on his face when you make him try on lovely vests is AMAZING.

Make him try sunglasses at BinCos/Discount Stores

No, neckbeards play MMORPGs, and actually understand why servers overload for every popular game at launch, and why companies don't buy servers to handle multiple millions of people who will disappear after the first two weeks.

If only there were huge companies that offered some sort of service to deal with wildly fluctuating demand requirements and based billed costs on actual resource utilization. Maybe some sort of virtual servers in some sort of...Rockstar cloud.

But it is only a dream.

By the time they set up the additional capability by uploading everything, the rush will be over.
