Urbanoutlaw

The biggest thing I hate is the "new & improved" physics. Instead of making a sharp turn on his heel like in other GTAs Niko makes a wide sweeping turn, constantly hangs on corners & takes stairs like he has wooden legs. Take 1 step. Stop. Take 1 step. Stop. Take....you get the idea. Meanwhile peds just run up them. You could try jumping up them but half the time Niko stops & vaults up them & stops to recalculate that he's doing. When you have a 4* warrant this can be a problem. On narrow stairways he'll suddenly vault off the side when you jump, not much help when you're chasing someone. One of the few complaints I have about the game, but it's a big one.

I recently reloaded because the Banshee & Huntley (from Little Jacob) were gone & replaced by a crappy minivan, also the work of a Taxi.

Has anyone came across DECENT vehicle pics yet?

What machine are you running it on? I've heard of this on newer dual processor machines, can be fixed w/ a setting (if that's your problem). Welcome & enjoy, take a few minutes to read the rules & check out the layout of the site.

AS the dust settled nobody noticed the black FBI Rancher pull up to 7.62's limp body. Urbanoutlaw steps out of the truck & gathers the unconscious form, gently setting him in the back where he is tended by Oscar's sister (cue ominous music). Pantera's cover of the Black Sabbath classic "Planet Caravan" plays from the truck's radio. He talks into his headset "Pedobear, stand down. Situation secure." He looks at the limp form of 7.62, "Now my dark apprentice, your training begins" BE-bee-ba-dee, THAT'S ALL FOLKS!! DRIVE-BY DOUBLE POST!!! Mamma Kitty's up (late night blowin stuff up last night, I let her sleep in), so I'm out of here. Later.

"Tear the Roof Off" by George Clinton (AKA the Funktopus) & Parliament.

"1999" by Prince (before he was unpronounceable gender symbol)

"Outta' Space" by Billy Preston. Rolled over to "Freedom of Choice" by DEVO.

Good selection, Tec. Son, it never left. It just wasn't mainstream. :thumbsup: "Club Nowhere" Blue Man Group.

That's what EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) is for! Some people should stick to making pretty pictures.... I remember the '70s before cars had that & when you went somewhere you had to have people push your car out of a parking space. This is where Reese's Peanut Butter Cups came from. This guy Reese was very slight of build & drove a very large car (an old Buick, I think) & felt bad about having people push his car out for him. So he thought he would hand out chocolate treats his grandmother made as an expression of gratitude. When Alcazarr Fulton invented EGR he inadvertently caused the Peanut Butter Riot of 1973 in Kalamazoo & was tarred & feathered, nearly lynched. This was why Reese went commercial & began selling his beloved chocolate/PB treats. Before Alcazarr Fulton invented EGR, seeing a car reverse on it's own in a movie or TV show was just special effects.

"Asian Sky" by Steve Vai. Just rolled over to a killer remix of "Guilty" by gravity kills, has a Matrix feel.

Take a Turismo from Grotti (near one of your savehouses) & take thew race like above. Except you do (& win) the race. If you can time it so you just win, the competitors are nearby & you can jack their cars. I've also noticed the competitor vehicles will spawn parked for a short time. That's how I got an extra Comet early in the game.

Nice. What are they worth to Stevie? JK, I've been working on that part & will post something useful in a couple days (based on actual gameplay). In the mean time, here's a couple more for the list Cop cars -unguarded, just get in & drive off (watch for random foot patrols) East Island City, on Dukes Blvd. Find 3 Patrol (Malibu) or Cruisers (Crown Vic) parked on the east side of the intersection from the bridge to South Bohan. May find a security guard who drops his coffee & runs, enjoy your vigilante work. Algonquin, just west of Star Junction. Parked behind the police station where you pick up missions from Francis. Alderney, industrial. At almost the south end of Alderney is a small police station. Find 1 or 2 unguarded cop cars on the north side parked in the street. Fire Trucks, hose those pesky peds! Algonquin. As you come off the bridge from Bohan, take the first left. It's right behind the Pay & Spray. Alderney. Find the tw@ internet cafe (will show on map when you open Alderney), from there it's about 2 blocks north on the same street.. Hell Fury (WCC style chopper) BOABO, From Brucie's go north until you see the Twitchin' Sugar factory. It's right in front of the brick building 1 door south from Twitchen' Sugar (look for this when you chase Vlad).

Call it honor among thieves. It means more when you do it w/out cheating.

Dude, you did it wrong! Later.

The Bobcat!? Those things are about the worst vehicle you could use to run from the cops. Before you go in, look for a break in the fence next to the water leading to a small dock. Keep track of where that is. As soon as you get the bag, RUN for the exit & for that break in the fence. You should find a nice fast boat. Avoid the cop boats & loose your warrant.

I know what you mean, For "The Holland Play" I just couldn't kill Dwayne. Something about the guy reminds me of some people I've known in real life. This time around I spared Ivan & made a little $$$ when he showed up later as a random character. I'll probably cut Clearance loose to see what he does an a RC. Currently working on my 100% game & still not sure which ending I'll take although I'm leaning towards "Revenge". I just like Roman.

X360 has a built in track player, I've used it in other games. You have to load the tracks to your (X360) HD & play them from there through your "dashboard", I think L-RiC could give you a more detailed answer. I'm guessing the PS3 patch will give you a user track player similar to GTASA?

Yeah, it's glitched. I got in it once to check it out & got a 1* warrant like I stole a car. I evaded the police on my ride to Colony Island.

Since the book missed some vital info, what about turning this topic into the TGTAP online guide supplement for GTA4. If interested, I'm compiling a list of cars & what they're worth (from Stevie) + maybe a brief note about each.

1 - Lay off the CAPS LOCK, it just annoys people. 2 - Giant text, see #1. 3 - Are you asking where to find the mod or where to upload it?

Either work fine, shortcuts save space on your drive if you already have the MP3s on it in another directory. Make sure your media player has the right codec or that you have Windows Media Player 9. Also make sure you went into audio options & selected SCAN USER TRACKS, so the game knows you have music tracks in the USER TRACKS folder.

He also likes bowling & the strip club. l.

Okay officer, let's see you chase my bike w/ that Trashmaster. Through the subway.
