If that's some thinly veiled request to ask us to play with you, then no. We're not.

Yes. I did some random Player races, and got matched in with some guys who were speaking French. No lag either. Don't know 100% that they were in France though. I'll check my Gamertag tomorrow.

Great stuff this game.

Went and played the Aus version with my mate earlier a few things

1. Cars are harder to drive but you get used to it quick enough
2. Pick up a hooker and the camera pans back to the license plate only
3. Finding those flying rats is going to take some time to do
4. Finished all 10 most wanted in the cop car mission.....didn't seem to get any bonus for doing that

I got a bonus for getting a prostitue into my car.

And by 'bonus' I mean a woody.

I hate that it asks me where I want to save my game to every time I turn it on.

Actually, I hate that half of all 360 titles seem to do that shit. How hard is it to see that I don't have a memory card, so it should probably save to the hard drive?

cant this thread get moved out now?

also where are the hidden packages and killing sprees?

NOBBiE · Post by **NOBBiE** » 30 Apr 2008 10:17 am

There are no more hidden packages anymore pilon, they've been replace with 100 'flying rats' aka pidgeons that you have to snipe.

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 30 Apr 2008 10:21 am

sniping pidgeons! oh yeah!!! I was hoping it was going to be that rat turtle thing with wings from how I met your mother.

Grimey · Post by **Grimey** » 30 Apr 2008 10:22 am

200 of the bastards. Only found 4 so far. The don't fly away so they are an easy target

Anyone getting bad ghosting from gta?

It's the evening in Liberty City. The rain is raging and the thunders are freely rolling overhead (controller vibrates depending on how far away they are). What a great game.

Vibrating controller at the strip club FTW.

yeah seriously, there are a bunch of 360 games i want to play, but the fuckaround with that and mega loading screens all the time makes it not feel like a console, and more of just some bodgey piece of shit pc, fuck that, i want a streamlined experience, not options i don't care about.

motherfuckers.

In the future games developers should just sell games in HDD format AMIRITE?

Ambrose Burnside · Post by **Ambrose Burnside** » 01 May 2008 04:04 pm

The saving is stupid. I earned the 'Warm Coffee' achievement with my suave womanising ways, and afterwards Nico is standing on the street outside her apartment and he started to say something and the stupid save blade came flying across the screen asking me if I wanted to save the game.

WTF?

Cletus · Post by **Cletus** » 01 May 2008 04:07 pm

Turn autosave off...I'm thinking of doing it. It's not a necessity. Anyone familiar with the series goes and saves after each mission anyway.

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 01 May 2008 04:38 pm

move this thread back ffs

Scullibundo · Post by **Scullibundo** » 01 May 2008 05:23 pm

I did all this single player shit, then transferred my live account over to the living room 360 and now have to do it all over again on the new profile.

Ah well! Good game. I need to do some multi sometime.

I wish it supported the chatpad thinger for dialling numbers - you can use it in the cop car, but not your phone

Autosave should be just that - automatic. Having the blade popping up asking me where I want to save (especially when the only thing that it can save to is my HDD) is retarded.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 01 May 2008 08:58 pm

Only does it the first time per session though. After that, it's automatic.

At first I thought that the pigeons where like the only "collectable" thing. But I soon realized that there are little tid bits everywhere. Like random people you can help (they appear on the radar as little msn insignias).

Plus I guess the achievements are collectables as well. The wheelie one is easy to get. But can someone explain to me how to play darts? I skipped the explanation, and I don't know how to play. I just go for the bulls eye, but constantly lose. How do I play
