[fordman239]

well, everyone, the time has come for me to get back into video games. i quit for a little while wen all the bogus games got horrible, and gamers kept making horrible games. but man, come april gta 4, cant wait, its a turning point in the video game world, and i for one will be buying the system and game the day it comes out, hopefully, and will be playing it for a while, which means all my xmods will get put up for a little bit, and gta 4 playing will be priority. this thread is the official discussion of this game, so feel free to chat about it here.

Can't wait for this game. Comes out April 29th. I want to pre-order the collectors so bad.... Its no doubt going to be a great game. Make sure to get a Xbox 360 and not a PS3 though.

[fordman239]

i wanted to preorder it the other day, but i dont have a ps3 nor xbox 360, nor the cash. i wish i could so bad. cant wait either.

[xmodificationer]

get the 360!!!

[fordman239]

idk, more of a sony fan. if they had it for pc i would def get it.

[garder121]

not much of a gta fan but i think the ps3 is better look what it can do compared to the 360 just my opinion

[imnotmikal]

Guys, this is not a PS3 vs X360 thread, so keep it out.

I for one, will be getting the game for both systems.
Well technically I'm getting it for 360, but my cousin has a PS3 and is getting it.

[2wdpancar]

The ps3 can do way more than the 360, has a built in BlueRay player(500 bucks for a player), and the hard drive has more space, the elite has 125, but who the heck needs 125 gigs??

That game looks fun, I like the GTA series, have a lot of them, started playing them about 2 years ago...

But really if you ever have the cash, go for a ps3.
I am Sony guy also.( and Ford):lol:

well, to get these things (the system and game)
i have to work extra hours to get extra money, since im only 15, i have no taxes or bills so it all goes to me! i cant wait to see wat new cars there are and wat kind of weapons and everything there is, i want to play it so bad, if its anything like liberty city, or vice city stories (which i both played) its going to be good.

[mustanglover]

i wound not get a ps3
1.its fans are so big and loud and it still over heats lol!
2.it is very ugly
3.online sucks for it

[imnotmikal]

Guys, seriously, this isn't a PS3 vs X360 thread, stop posting stuff about it.
We don't want this thread to go up in flames.

Thanks,
Mikal

[garder121]

even if your gettin gta iv, ithink i know a easy way of making money and fast i do it (no its not selling drugs):lol: the only way it will work is if your school will allow u to.if u have a store like sam's, bj's, or costco's u can buy candy in bulk and sell it.i sell about $15 a day in candy(could do more but.....can't fit that much in my locker):bigwink: :nod: it about 40 days if u sell between $10-15 u should be able 2make about $600 if u origanlly start out with 600 candies.heres the workout:
snickers-44bars-$18.88 a box-6boxes= $264
twix-36bars-14.16 a box-3boxes= $108
sour skittles-24bags-9.44 a box-3 boxes= $72
reeses-36cups-14.36 abox-4 boxes= $144 (these are all prices of sam's club)
this is about $588 made after spending $241.52 with a profit of $346.48.:nod: that will get u gta iv in about 40 days:nod:

Do my eyes decieve me, or is that a 300C?

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/fordman239/3901_gta_iv.jpg

No Knvicted I think that's a 300C.:lol:

[imnotmikal]

Actually, since this is GTA we're talking about, it will most likely have some retarded name.
400G maybe... lol.

[fordman239]

check out the site i put in there, the link is there, it shows all possible names and decriptions of all vehicles and everything, that isnt even all the pics, there is alot more, i just took them ones, theres like 200 pics on it.

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Well most GTA's have bad graphics but this isn't to bad eh?It does look like a 300c or Bentley GT or something like it or a Roles Royce........

[Lowrideit]

Wow, Cant wait too get it, Is is gonna be like all the others and it will come out for Ps3 first, Or is it gnna be both at the same time?

[imnotmikal]

Its not a Bently or RR, look at the grille.
Deffinately 300C.

[2wdpancar]

Actually, since this is GTA we're talking about, it will most likely have some retarded name.
400G maybe... lol.

Yeah you're right, I just remembered they make the most retarted names for guns and cars:lol:

[dontspamme]

Looks like a 300C body, but a Rolls Royce grill...

[meme405]

Looks like a 300C body, but a Rolls Royce grill...

no it doesnt its a 300c, i dont see how you see a 100000$ car in that 25000$ frame...

[WRXSTi92]

thanks now i got another game i need to get so w/e ima get this instead of rainbow six vegas since im poor but Halo 3 and something else has got to go

[firebird999]

Can't wait for this game. Comes out April 29th. I want to pre-order the collectors so bad.... Its no doubt going to be a great game. Make sure to get a Xbox 360 and not a PS3 though.
actually it comes out late on the 28th. look on the board behind the desk at gamestop.

400G maybe... lol.
Yeah you're right, I just remembered they make the most retarted names for guns and cars:lol:
but they transfer names over from game to game. for all we know that's the new kuruma!

[fordman239]

Yeah you're right, I just remembered they make the most retarted names for guns and cars:lol:

they do that cuz there was a lawsuit about names being patented, so they can only use real names for the things they got permission/paid for to use in the game. the ak 47, a real gun, but all of the cars they make up stuff that isnt even close to the real thing becuz they dont want another lawsuit.

gta doesnt have that bad of graphics imo, but ya know, its only a video game, eh? it cant be like real life or else people would try to do the stupid **** they do it the game (nothing really stops them anyway, but if it was any more real, people would definantly think it was too easy and try it)

[imnotmikal]

Actually, back on the subject of the 300C, I have to admit, the front end resembles a RR, but what 300 doesnt? But anyway, 300's have rounded headlights, that one has square. So either thats supposed to be a 300 with a RR BK, or R* just got lazy. :p

[fordman239]

Well, games arent exactly detailed to every little point. There is some stuff that isnt exactly whats there.

They've always changed the name of the vehicles so they wouldn't have to aquire the licensing, and they've made changes to the body style to ensure that it resembles it enough to make the point, but not so much they can be sued. The most clever, IMO, was the Club.

Think about it from an automaker's perspective, this is a game that is constantly protested and pushing the bar on what is acceptable as a form of art rather than obsenity. Would you want a product you sell to be associated with something so Taboo?

i think the "trashmaster" was pretty straight forward, as well as the "stretch"

[firebird999]

ok, so yesterday i reserved it at blockbuster. $5 down. i don't have to pay anything else! just $5 down and i owe $54.99 on tuesday. i also get framed game art for reserving it! if any of you haven't reserved it yet, do it at blockbuster! you can even pay for it with old games! i have a buttload of 'em, so i may be able to take up azngtboy's deal once i see what i have left afterward.

anyway, back on the subject of gta cars, i personally think that the Land Stalker is the most clever name. i know it's a parody of Land Rover, but it just seems so different. i dunno... the least clever is definately the Ambulance, though. or the Taxi. one thing i hope is that they have the Turismo, i loved that car like a brother. oh yeah, and customization garages, like SA. XBOX LIVE!!!! i forgot all about it!!!!! i hope it has xbl free roam, not just saints row style stuff. oh man, i cannot freakin' wait!

dude, i wouldnt buy it right away, becuz ill just wait for the price to go down, lol. and old games are worth more than old game systems, figured that one out, lol.

[firebird999]

that's the catch. even if it costs $2, i owe $54.99. plus i won't get the framed picture if i wait too long.

[fordman239]

i didnt get that but ok.

[2wdpancar]

that's the catch. even if it costs $2, i owe $54.99. plus i won't get the framed picture if i wait too long.

Also AIM is working fine.

[mustanglover]

[coolcar24th]

YAHHHHH!!!!!!!!! omgicannotwait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my friend is skipping school for it, many a pca member is skipping work for it, and tonight i'm gonna go look at all the game stores to see how long the line is. tomorrow should be labeled as "game day." school is out and there are xbox live parties in every game, and downloadable "Game Day!" posters and billboards for anything applicable... yeah... i'd make a good president, huh?

i've also been through the windsheild, off a cliff, across the highway (drifted into a motorcycle), and i've landed on top of a car. i also have caused at least 5 fatal crashes (not including car v ped crashes).

[xmodificationer]

[bigez]

i did not want to start a new thread on this but i just started playing gta again for xbox360 and wanted to get 100% compleation in the game and wanted to know what the grage in for and how i use it and how do i get stevie to text for the cars he wants

[firebird999]

just play through the story and eventually he'll text. finish Brucie's cars first.

[bigez]

i finched the story all ready

[dontspamme]

Goto a internet cafe and look for emails from Brucie, do those. Finsh all of them. 10 in total. After that, wait awhile till you get a text message from Stevie which has a description of where the car is and a picture of it.

i did all of them and about how long do you have to wait

[dontspamme]

I can't remember the exact time, but I think it's 1 or 2 game days.

[bigez]

what you declined it if i did do that and not remmber is there a way to get it back

[dontspamme]

Brucie's missions ? I don't think you can deny them completely. They should come back after a little while.

[bigez]

no steveis text message

[firebird999]

brucie emails you about stevie first, check the computer again.

[bigez]

thanks for the help guys but i am just going to start a new game
