The Grand Theft Auto IV Thread

I wanna hear about the online multiplayer, can you team up with a buddy and wreak some havoc?!

There's a couple co-op modes, but so far the real fun has been free mode with the entire city unlocked and ready to be destroyed. 5-6 of us get on for a while stealing helicopters and zooming through the office buildings or landing on the Statue of Happiness or we are stealing speed boats and riding around Miami Vice style. add on the awesome single player and u've got yourself a winner.

I'm kind of appalled by the themes involved in the game. You guys are all adults so I mean whatever. But I wouldn't let my kid touch this game with a 10 foot pole until he was 16 or so.

Unfortunately you are in the minority with that it seems lately as on a regular basis we have parents buying stuff like this which is meant for 17 and up for their kids who are like 9-10 years old and it's disgusting. We even try to talk the parents out of it most of the time but get stupid responses like they hear or see worst things at home.

and preach on Matty cuz those COD 4 kids are the reason Halo got ruined online and it seems like they are doing the same with COD.

I really don't understand why a parent would do that. I'm sure out of the thousands of people on this site, there's got to be at least ONE who would not object to buying their kid GTA. And when I say kid, I'm talking a kid below the age of 13, at the absolute youngest.

If so, I'd really like to hear the explanations/reasons why they don't mind their kid playing this game.

And if a parent says their kid sees/hears worse things at home than what's in the game.. I think a call with CPS is in order.

GTA IV is totally addicting. I'm not sure if it tops COD 4 for me personally but it's still pretty damn good. Liberty City is huge and the graphics are pretty sick. Great game.

OMFG. What a great game. I'm so hooked its not even funny.

No surprise but this game is selling like crazy!

$300 million in its first DAY and over $600 million in its first week. Amazing stuff and very addicting game.

It's called absentee parenting - it's easier in the short term to not talk to your kids about this stuff. No chance my kids are getting this until they are old enough to drive themselves to the store in their own car and purchase it (and the console) with their own money.

Am I the only one who gets absolutely furious when you're walking across the street and someone plows their car into you? I swear every time that happens I pull out my gun and unload it in their car. lol.

This really pissed me off... I got 25% of the way through the game. Of course I did a lot of other stuff but that is a little over 10 hours of gameplay for me. Then I guess I did a mission out of order, now it won't let me do ANY missions. I had to completely restart the game. And let me tell you this game is not near as fun 2nd time through.
