I suck so hard at life. Still don't have this. Gave up trying to find it in shops after I tried again on Tuesday to no avail. Just ordered it on play so I should probably expect it next week some time. Fuck.

I have two copies (don't ask) but I can't sell you one of them, sorry dude : /

ledge! game doesn't arrive till tomorrow and i don't know when i'll get to play. but my bro will probably be on, so don't be offended if you get in touch and get no reply, but i am well up for CHAOS when i can play.

I'll be up for playing tonight, after 9 PM Eastern---gamertag is Jex Blade, but I'll look for some of you.

bit late for me probably (2am gmt)

I don't really know anyone here, but can I join? My tag - Roodle Faux.

i was flying a chopper around the large factory area on the third island and when i approached the large cooling towers, I swear there was a person stood on the very top on the rim running around. As i got closer he just jumped inside.

The alleyway dude drives up at 1.10 looks just like the place near the bridge on the 1st island in GTA3 where the rocket launcher rampage was. Weirdly familiar. Bit where the dude beats the hooker down so he can recover his money and she limps off clutching her stomach is a bit...er....much? Eh.

^ Dude can't drive.

Play.com got this delivered to me this afternoon and I only ordered it like a day ago <3

This weekend is a total wash-out now, but shouldn't matter too much because apparently the recent heat-wave in Glasgow is going to be replaced by heavy showers anyway. Ah well. Pulling an all nighter tonight I should think.

"I'M LIVING HERE WITH ROMAN!"

... was what I thought he kept on shouting during the rescue roman mission. I was like, dude what kind of a threat is that? "ha you've think you've taken him to a random abandoned factory but in fact this is my crib!"

Man I suck at this game. Can't do my first Little Jacob mission, nor can I stop biker dude who's making out with whatsisface's daughter. Gah.

If you're going for the all guns blazing approach then - be more subtle.

Finally got it in glasgow. This is the first grand theft auto that i've completely fell in love with.

you should marry it!

single player got more enjoyable when I figured out that to get more missions, I had to go to Roman's workplace and Little Jacob's house. Until then I was just waiting for someone to call, which meant Michelle and Roman for dates and strippers. Plus side: warm coffee!

I would marry it but it might kill me.

what a way to go tho huh!

If I want to kill you guys, should I get a 360 or a PS3?

i got multiplayer to work for the first time ever last night, and was shot to ribbons...

psleeee

i've only managed to connect to multiplayer once... i think my NAT might be to blame, as it is, apparently, 'strict'. anyone have any advice?

is there really no reward for finishing the street races, what a joke

so i spent a good part of yesterday getting a car on the roller coaster, all was going well until i got to the top and the car rolled over and got stuck inbetween the tracks.

what's the best vehicle to ride on it with?

and still does anyone know the buttons to press to 'let someone go' ?

and been laughing a lot a the lazlow Integrity station, especially the nerd guy and the bloke who thinks he's entitled to touch womens 'bits' if they're showing in public.

Took Roman to play darts in a helicopter. He didn't seem impressed by my choice of ride. Taking him home, I landed on the other side of the road from his house and the idiot got run over. Then I landed the helicopter on top of a police car, destroying the chopper and getting 4 stars. Then Roman rang me asking to be picked up from the hospital. So in a police car I'd nicked, with the wheels already shot out I managed to pick him up and take him home, at which point my stars vanished, yay!

- Missions so far seem pretty easy.

- Enjoying the ragdoll technology very much. I pushed Dardan out the window in his mission and he broke his back on the dike out front.

- Found some sketchy drug house with bongs and pipes and hobos wandering around on top. Threw a few of them off onto the highway below.

- Pushing people in front of trains wasn't as cool as I thought it'd be.

- Made it to Algonguin by going down the subway line. Didn't get past the upstairs of the police station, but did gain an AK out of it.

- Haven't figured out yet how to simply ride in the taxi. I whistle, it says hit the "Y" button, and I pull the driver out of his cab.

- I hear Bigfoot lives in the Village.

-the Missions get more difficult (obviously), but the sheer number of them is perplexing to me. I played it an awful lot this weekend and am still only about 25% through the game.

-Once you whistle for the taxi and it stops for you, you have to hold down "Y".

Dear Rockstar:

GTA is not an FPS, stop expecting me to mow down like 20 dudes in a closed space when your targeting system has only been upgraded from "balls" to "ass"

and still does anyone know the buttons to press to 'let someone go' ?

You just leave. There's no button.

Am currently trying to get the "Fly the co-op" multiplayer mission time limit achievement. Hangman's NOOSE = pretty easy if you all know what you're doing. Bomb da Base II - there is a handy glitch which should make it easier although I haven't got it yet. Deal Breaker - fuckin ell. Hardest thing is that you need to do it with only two people so you have to mess around in the lobby for ages trying to find a game with one other person, or kicking people out of games.

^^^ this

there is much fun to be had in mowing down 20 dudes in a closed space even if the targeting is less than perfect. you boys should stop those tears, pick up the gamepad and play the mission again. i'm sure you'll do much better next time.

I watched my wife use molatov cocktails to "beat up" Roman's adversaries on the basketball court.

dude I'm not saying I couldn't do it, but any button function involving "half pressing" is fucking dumb

I love how any criticism of a game becomes "YOU SUCK AT IT D00D"

yes i find a small fault with the 'hiding' ability is when someone suddenly appears opposite you, then you have to leave hide mode and then wrap the camera around 180 degrees before you can even stand a chance of targeting the guy.

Still having heaps of fun though, only 3 more cars to get for Stevie!

And if Packie beats me at Pool once more I think I may have to burn him, yes burn him.

I suck at it AND think the targeting is a hunk o ass
