nikolaibellic Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Since I just got the sent in my 360 to Microsoft, I went over to a buddies house and got to take GTA IV for a test drive. The game is amazing I must admit, but there are a couple things I noticed that really effected my experience. First of all, get used to cops because in GTA IV there is no escaping them. This was really annoying to me because I couldn't do anything without getting a cop on my tail and spending a good deal of time escaping from them. I would be on a mission, for example, and I would squeze by an intersection, accidentally hit one of many cop cars sitting there and then I would have to lose them. I am hoping however that Rockstar will release a 'no wanted level' cheat; that would be awesome. Second, why is it sooo dark?!? I've seen this posted a few times already and please don't tell me, "It's the settings on your television because it's not. The brightness settings on my friends 32" HDTV were maxed out. I could not see a single thing especially at night time. I was on a mission for Little Jacob at night and it took my literally fifteen minutes to climb a flight of stairs in a darkened alleyway. I did use the 'brightness level' cheat and it made it a little bit better but still, waayyyy to dark. Other than that the game is great. I loved the little taste of the storyline that I got, and I can't wait to get my 360 back so I can start my own game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Practice w/ the cops, once you get used to the new system I think you'll like it better than the older ones. Have you messed w/ the video options in the game itself? I turned mine up & it looks pretty good on my old 43" I play on, definitely better than VCS does. I think my complaint is how Niko "limps down stairs & won't run up or down them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zop-2911 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 The brightness is slightly annoying, but can be changed in the in game options, I've got used to it now though. The cops are easy to get away from on 1 and 2* after a little but of work, it is more real and fun to escape. 3* plus is a bit of a challenge, but is good.

raGe.N Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 ive seen posts about this in a few forums now, i noticed it when i first started playing the game too, just alter the settings on the start menu. (it's not just brightness you need to adjust, try notching the contrast up too... thats what i did and mine looked fine after i did that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrealistic ArtSweet Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 a lot of people have complained about the brightness now, i have played IV in my friend's house and it didn't bother me that much. remember, the old GTA III(old liberty city) is also a really dark place, but i figured i think it's the perfect way to describe LC, A DARK PLACE i also have seen the cops, and yes they are a pain in the ass. but i think we are gonna have to get used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
