I paid in full thankfully because I had $120 in Gamestop gift cards. $60 went to my preorder of GTAIV, the other $60 goes to Metal Gear Solid 4.

true true...but realized its a definite no go for PS3 version if they map fire to R2 without letting player remap buttons (>___<)

i really doubt they will, especially because L2 can be half-pressed for free aim. i don't like it either but i guess i'll have to get used to it.

Not only am I pre-ordering this game. I'm also buying a thermal sleeping bag, a metallic briefcase and a pair of handcuffs.
I may have to eat a light laxative while heading home. If everything is timed right, I will shit as I walk through the door. I've never expelled a briefcase key before. I hope it doesn't hurt.
If the laxative persists; I'll just have to move the tv into the bathroom... OR I could construct an elaborate series of mirrors. mwhahaha this is going to be fucking awesome.

I almost feel like I don't need to preorder this time around.
Retailer/Publisher knowledge of past GTA Sales > People wanting it week one, minus the extra flux of the soccer moms buying it as xmas gifts in previous years.
Though, it could also be the three times I reserved it at EB, and Best Buy gets it days earlier, and I buy two copies.

That was my point, thank you.
Hmmmmmmmm. As long as the cinematic mode is user toggled and never game toggled, sounds good. I don't want Nico going Matrix on me unless I tell him to.
I'm just now getting into the hype, and all I can say is...I should have waited till next month to read everything. Gah, what a long wait.

As long as your going as slow as your surrounding during Cinematic Mode, then it won't be cheap.

I agree. At first April 29th sounded so close. Now I'm looking into lucid dream technology to hold me over for the next couple of months.

I've been avoiding this thread because of this. And so now, while doing homework, I had the brilliant idea to check it out to waste even more time. But after reading your post, I'm gonna stay away from this thread after I hit "submit". I'll be back in a month.

Hum, it says the PS3 version is getting DLC as well. How unexpected...
I'm loving all the little details they're adding on the game.

Beaten! you missed bluheim's post earlier. However, he's easy to ignore considering.
I laugh at the PS3 owners clutching at straws every time PS3 DLC is mentioned. It's like they read the stuff they want to read and their eyes magically slide past the stuff they don't want to read.
For the record I own both systems and will buy GTA IV on whatever system turns out to support it best, which is the 360 at this point in time. Hell, I'll probably buy it on PS3 and PC as well - I'm obsessed with GTA!

Can't wait to see those moths.
First time I read about the health "bar" too. It's a ring now, around the map.

I've read a couple of review that mentioned the frame rates got a little choppier in the denser parts of the city. I don't think the game is going to be the smooth experience everyone is hoping for, but it's going to be acceptable.
If the frame rate is above 15 fps in a huge fire fight, I'll be ok with that. While I loved Saints Row, some of the FBI shootouts got REALLY bad in the frame rate department. I'm talking 5 fps bad.

Anyone have good questions for an interview / hands-on ?
Goldrusher said:
What exactly is the process when stealing a parked car?
Do heads explode this time around? Like will a shotgun to the face cause the face to come off?
Any details on multi, specifically a cops and robbers mode.
What exactly is the deal with stop lights? Will running a stop light really bring heat from the cops or will it just add more cops to your tail if you're already being chased?
Is Lazlow back?
can we expect easter eggs in the internet? Like can we type in random names and unlock little side missions?

put in my preorder yesterday. still not really feeling the hype yet, but its still a ways off.
I hope robbery makes a return, havne't heard anything about it yet. Stick ups in VC were fun, albeit simple while home invasions in SA SUCKED. That's one element I hope R* has taken form Saints Row because robbery in that game was fucking awesome.
Get in your car, grab a few of your homies and roll on down to a store. Point your gun at the shopkeeper, and while you do that your friends do the same with anybody else in the store. Then the clerk leads you to the back where the safe is and you get cash AND even a box of goods you can chuck into your car and cash in somewhere else. Really great gameplay element.

yeah the hold-ups in Saints Row were amazing, probably my favorite feature of that game. Waiting just long enough for the shop owner to open the safe to crack him right in the fucking face!

What do you say to PS3 owners who will see the X360 get more content for GTAIV and feel they are getting an incomplete experience?Goldrusher said:
X26 said:
Damn dude, thanks for reminding me about those. Another thing Saint's Row did well. I lol'ed when I robbed the fat lady in the clothing store. After she opened the safe she said something but I didn't let her finish. I put one in her noggin and got the hell out of there.

That's actually a really good question. I'm not really bothered by the lack of downloadable content but it's obviously playing a role for others.
chubigans said:
I'm referring to those PS3 owners who think that any mention of DLC for PS3 automatically confirms that they're going to be getting their own exclusive content comparable to the stuff that MS paid a shit load of money for. Obviously I'm not referring to all, or even most PS3 owners; just those too hopeful to read things objectively.
