i heard that if you're actually able to commit a crime in the australian version

you must face the legal consequences as if you comitted that crime in the real world

i heard if you ran over a person in the aussie version then the real police would come to your house and charge you with virtual manslaughter

i hear they renamed it "grand hugs auto" and instead of killing all the time like a chump niko hugs it out with all of his american friends

*australian

finished, both endings.

lame. hated them.

oh well.

I was walking to Fauskin's place from the water, since I accidentally backed up over the cliff, and when I came around, this cop was leading a rich-looking man away with his hands behind his head. I had to laugh.

What do I do for the Blood Brothers mission?

Can I screw up my game by killing Derrick or Francis? Which should I choose? I'm leaning at Francis cause he's one of the biggest pricks ever but...

My Francis missions say 66.67% and Derrick's are 100%. I want to get 100% overall, so does anyone know if I'm screwed if I kill Francis?

Answer:
Killing Derrick instead changes nothing from what I know other than getting to do more missions for Francis. Keeping Francis alive also gives you the ability to call of three stars wanted... I think. Derrick gives you nothing. .

Ending spoiler: heres the thing, I killed off Dimitri, (only ending I saw). but I realized something... isn't the guy that Niko owes money too still alive? (I forgot his name) or did I miss something here?

Now that you mention it... Bulgarin doesn't appear after the diamond switching. Did they forget about him or?.

haha, jesus, i forgot all about him. wow. plot oversight or what?

oh wait, shit, arent they releasing downloadable content? oh god, please let the story continue. i have 0 motivation to get 100% because of how bad the ending was.

He was such a unnecessary character in the game. When he appeared a second time I had no idea who it was until much later. It's very likely they are keeping him for the downloadable content. If not, good writing Rockstar ;)

I remember them saying that GTA4 will be episodic. So, don't get too depressed about the ending.

eh, im still mad about it even if they do continue it. i wont be mad about it then, but i still am now. sa's ending and even bully's ending felt so complete, and this one just leaves you feeling a little sad and sorry for niko.

oh well. roll on gta4: episode 1

I remember them saying that GTA4 will be episodic. So, don't get too depressed about the ending.

Are you sure it was described as episodic?  I remember that major expansions to the game were promised, but I don't recall ever reading that the game would be exactly episodic.  Unless they mean episodic in the same vein as Half-Life where the episodes really are just full sequels that use the same engine and reuse assets -- also like Vice City and San Andreas.

Basically, they're going to release 2 episodes, each adding at least 10 hours to the main storyline. The first episode is going to be released around August, so yeah, expect to see the story continue and they'll probably feature Mr. Bulgarian as a character. I wouldn't mind to see them release more episodes after the initial two, as long as they keep things entertaining. More clothes or different haircuts would be nice too.

Awesome game, even though I think they should have focused on the main storyline more. The game also slowed down as it drew to an end, all you were doing were hits for money. Still gets a 10 from me, though. I personally got revenge on Dimitri, pretty sure nearly everyone else did the same. I rather see Kate die than Roman. She wasn't even putting out, and I need my free cab rides.

but not for the losers who only own the PS3 version!!

(also there are rumours that the episodic content will also include new areas)

oh god i want to trash new jersey so bad.

Yep, Rockstar you sell-outs. Thanks for that kick in the balls to your fans. You're entire series rolls on Sony, and gets a port to Xshlocks, and yet you suddenly shift scenes. Fucking gay, man. Fucking gay.
Whatever. First Katamari, now Grand Theft. This gen is pissing me off, man.
But I'll forget about that for now. Having far too good a day to get angry over the lameness of this gen.

Well, Microsoft did pay $50m for the two episodes.

ARGHSFJHASJKFHAKSJDFHASKDJ this isn't true.

It was deferred revenue which is basically a loan.  MS expected to make at least $50 million dollars from this game (a safe bet) so they lent Rockstar a bunch of money to fund development.  Jesus internet stop making things up this is the lamest rumor ever.

I don't know I don't really feel that strongly about it myself =\  I would bet hundreds of dollars tht PS3 gets the episodes after a few months or something.

Not wail I'm living here BTW one good thing about having the PS3 version, is that we got the fix for the game freezing since microsoft has not gotten with Take2 about the problem.

Yeah, this is true. Like how Liberty City Stories hit PS2 months down the line.
I dunno man, sometimes this console silliness gets me angry and befuddled. Ugh. I'm surrounded irl with so many aggressively arrogant xboxers and it makes me growl, irl and on here.
