I think I'm gonna trade or ebay my copy, just haven't been bothered to pick it up after the initial novelty...

It grew on me, but yeah - it is patchy compared to previous efforts.
I don't think anything could top Vice City though.
I've just finished it o xbox. I did VC and SA on PC so not 100% sure if I'm comparing like for like, but it felt a lot easier.
My first thoughts were that it was because I didn't have auto-aim on the PC, then I thought it was just harder to put in marathon sessions when you had keyboard / mouse to navigate.
Might or might not be either of those, but what I came down to deciding was the biggest killer was the GPS - when you moved to a new island / area / safehouse in older GTA then you had to spend a good while learning the new roads, find out where the alleyway shortcuts came out in case you were being chased by police etc etc.
Now you just follow the line on the mini-map and don't have to pay much attention to the scenery / landmarks at all.
Hopefully GTA V will be set in a pre-GPS era.

so you followed all the road signs and major routes recommended by the gps?
didn't think you'd get that far that way, sure it pulled me out of trouble a few times and made the game flow better but it didn't affect it the way you describe for me.
Yep, I was waiting until the GPS = FAIL before I tried to learn an area, but ended up clocking all the storyline missions just fine by following the line on the map.
Only time I had to work out a route for myself was the Little Jacob delivery sub-missions.
I guess the longer routes recommended by GPS were counter balanced by not losing time dodging / crashing into oncoming traffic.

mmm I;m about to have a major back down. I just started layinGTA 4 n the PC and Im loving it, no more horrendous pop up or laggy character control, the city actually looks amazing and is totally immersive.
The Xbox just wasn't up to doing justice to GTA IV with it's shitty draw distance and lag.

2 things you can do:
1) once they've rung ring em back and cancels plans. (this can do your ead in tho)
2) turn the phone off so they don't ring you (never tried it, but read you can do it)

yeah the pestering of mates is annoying.
also they could they be any less subtle in hinting that Michelle is a snitchin bitch, still I like her indie look so she isn't dumped yet.
I tried to get a date with the hott 19 year old goth biatch off the internet dating service but she kocked me back, is there anyway of affecting this, or is it just ike real life and you just have to suck it up?
