Did it come in a big box? I think it's the big box art that's meant to be different.

Yeah it came in a big SE box. The boxart itself looks "normal" though I notice that the words "grand theft auto IV" appear to be slighly embossed, and they come with silver foil border (is that what you mean Pat?).

No, I meant is it either of these:

as opposed to this:

Well that's what I was talking about anyway.

Sorry I should have said the "boxart of the game". It did come in the big box, as above. The boxart for the game is the second picture. Better one here:

So looks like there's no difference in the game's boxart between normal and SE versions.

Free roam with Juz, Kanga, Blinc and myself.

Perfection.

I seriously don't know what the complaint about the cars is about. I pinched an Infernus last night and as expected , it fucking hammered and handled perfectly. The shittier older and more cumbersome vehicles handle as you'd expect.

Helicopters with guns. Thankyou Rockstar. I love you.

So much potential in multiplayer it's astounding. I'm going to be on a full mongrel for a week.

No MP for me until the mid-semester break

But I cannot wait for free roam. Cops and Robbers sounds bloody awesome too

lol Cletus I couldn't stay up past 2am...weaksauce.

My only complaints so far:

- the weather looks kinda weird. It always feels like it's 7am when it's not dark.
- no auto-run ffs.
- melee combat is so urgh.

This would be awesome when the 3 rings of death strike. Flashing nipple ftw!

that face plate is awesome... it would never replace my tmnt face plate, but it is still awesome.

I still can't get used to the clunky controls. Nico moves like a bitch and he hits like a soft noodle.

?? I stopped playing online with Juz and Kanga at about 7.30 AM. Roughly 7 hours of GTAIV.

I meant weaksauce = me!

I fell asleep on the couch while driving...apparently I hit a cop car (got arrested) - that's when I woke up.

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 29 Apr 2008 05:41 pm

quick question about MP. is the city completely unlocked?

NOBBiE · Post by **NOBBiE** » 29 Apr 2008 07:10 pm

Yep. Although i believe you can isolate a mp game to a single island.
