Post Your GTA IV Stories

So, Roman calls me up about hanging out. We ended up going to that Beer Garden place. Well, needless to say, we were both completely waisted. We were stumbling around falling down and running into random pedestrians on the way back to the car. We come to this stair set and Roman stumbles into me knocking both of us down the stairs. By this time I was pretty hurt, and right before we get to the car, Roman stumbles off of a ledge and I see, "Your friend was Injured" at the bottom of the screen. I turn around and Roman is keeled over a pool of blood. Needless to say, he didn't ride home with me.


:LOL:

Call me a nutjob, but I'm actually standing upon a skyscraper right now, gazing out into the aftersoon pondering really seriously about what to do - kill Dwayne, or kill Playboy? Both are fantastic characters and I'm actually having trouble deciding on how I'm going to play my next move. I haven't done anything yet, I just got off the phone to Dwayne who wanted me to kill Playboy but no mission select has come up, so maybe I won't kill either but man, this is a weird feeling.

I feel bad for Dwayne and the shit he's going through, but then Playboy, for someone who seems to have quite a lot, isn't an arrogant jerk who is riding high on life and money, he actually says he wants to do good things with the money but shit, I really don't know who I'll go for...

It's so awesome that the game has got to me like that.

EDIT:

Oh man, this is it... I'm now faced with the option of who to kill. Shit.
 
Really interesting to hear these stories, everyone seems to have their own and rarely are repeated, such is testament to the variety and how expansive this game is. Unfortunately my purchase of a 360 and GTAIV is still yet to arrive (meant to come tomorrow) but I've just got confirmation it's only just been posted. Means this bank holiday weekend is going to be Goldrush full and GTAIV - less :(

Keep the stories coming, it's all I've got right now!
 
Not so much a story as a funny little incident.

Roman had given me a call to go to a titty bar, and I happy accepted. I drove up to the other part of the city to make it there, and we went inside. I was getting a private show in the back, and once it was done I figured I wanted to go get up close and personal with one of the pole dances. So I climbed up to the stage and suddenly everybody started running and screaming, and security started approaching me with fists and angry faces. My screen said to leave the Club. So I did... me and Roman ran outside and to the car... with security in pursuit. Roman asked me to take him back home, and I did...

Once I was there, was the funny part. I parked near a car which blocked his exit(I wasn't aware of this, because it looked like he could get out). He was chatting me up and said how much of a great time he had, and how we should do it again. Then he punched me in the face saying, "Give me that back!" scooting into the drivers seat and pushing me out of the car... then he exited and went inside.

It was hilarious!
 
Heh, I had a very difficult time with a timed mission, had to deliver a package in 25 "minutes" and I kept running late. But then it hit me: I was too damn reliant on the GPS system, I remember the tutorial saying that it gives you "the shortest legitimate route, but not necessarily the fastest". I didn't realize that until midway my latest run, and I already crashed into a wall so I was never gonna make it. I decide to just point my car into the direction of my destination and just hit the gas. Shortly after, I got stuck on a wall with my car so I jumped out, jumped over concrete railings, ran across the highway and delivered the package just in time. The moral here is: think outside of the box (of your GPS system).

Probably a little late now, but...

I killed Dwayne first without giving it much thought. A little later I was checking my emails and I found an old email from him - saying how he's a little lonely these days and if we'd hang out or something. I clicked reply and Niko's all - "Shit, I'm so sorry." :eek:

Filled with regret I reloaded my last save and went for Playboy instead, and when you do go to get him you see what a tosser the guy really is. You get given Playboys' old apartment, Dwayne becomes your friend, and after a couple of drinks you get the ability to call him up and he'll send a couple of guys your way to back you up. They're pretty useful at drawing fire and finishing off targets when things get crazy.

Edit - Oh, and once you get Playboys penthouse, there's a nice little easter egg that gets added to your outfits. :D
 
Just had a major wtf moment.

On my way to pick up a package in Beechwood to deliver for Little Jacob, jacked a speedboat and sent it hurtling into the streets of Stenway I think. Jack a truck, guy jumped out with a baseball bat and ran away screaming. I drove away and rammed another car. The driver jumped out and spontaneously combusted and ran around screaming in pain.

Guys, help me to understand what just happened here.

It isn't the GTA3 outfit, is it? Because I went to change my clothes and all of a sudden I look like the guy from GTA3 for some reason :LOL:

So yeah I killed Playboy, and I'm glad I did, too.

I'm trying to ween myself off of the GPS. In Saint's Row the GPS was necessary since everything was so similar you could hardly tell the streets apart, but in this everything is very distinct and easy to recognise, there are little landmarks everywhere to remind you of where you are. I can already find my way around most of the first island by memory, and I'm already getting used to the second having just arrived there. Of course, I'll still use a waypoint if it's a non-timed mission and I want to chill back and listen to the radio. :)

Edit - Also, lol Manny. "I thought you was the streets, man!" What the **** is that supposed to mean?

More editz -

Same thing happened to me before. I jacked a car in Bohan and was making my way back across the bridge to Dukes/Broker. Barged through the toll booth and slammed into some guy on my way past, I look behind to check on the cops and he's rolling around in flames. The only thing I can think of is that I torched someone with a molotov just before stealing the car, but my car wasn't visibly on fire anywhere and I hadn't lost any tires from it... weeeeeeeird.

You forgot to pay the ****in' toll ya dirty whore. I'll come outta the booth and drop you with a boot to the ****in' skull you cum guzzling queeeeeeeeeeeen!
 
Just remembered this: was in free roam with some of you whores t'other day, cruising around in a helicopter with... I forget who, Amish or someone. We're crossing the river between Broker and Algonquin and I decide I'll ditch and drop into the water. Little did I know my guy would fall out at a FOURTY-****ING-FIVE DEGREE ANGLE. I shoot right past the river and smack into the side of this tall building, probably about half-way up the thing (also failed to take into account that we were really damn high). I lose most of my health from the collision, but my guy gets partially stuck in the wall or something, so now I'm very slowly sliding down the side of this huge building, face flat against the glass and arms akimbo like I'm Wiley Coyote or something, and my guy just sort of peels off and crumples into a heap when he reaches the bottom, somehow still alive.

tl;dr: I leapt from a helicopter at close to if not maximum height, faceplanted into and slid half-way down a skyscraper and lived to tell the tale. Ignoring the fact I got myself killed in traffic roughly 7 seconds later...
 
I set up a few cars in a busy intersection and then parked my flaming SUV in the midst of them. A few seconds later they blew up one by one in huge Michael Bay fashion. A cab pulled up and tried to drive through the flames because he had some people in back that he was dropping off somewhere. The cab catches fire and the people scramble to get out but they catch on fire too and they roll around until the cab explodes.

An ice cream truck also blew up in the pile leaving me a bunch of cash. I only wish it was a Gruppe Sechs truck--I blew one up the other day and got LOADS of cash from it.

It sounds like willie lied.
 
No idea how, but my 360 and GTAIV have arrived today!? I'll see you ladies later!
 
I just had a classic GTA moment. :D

I went to the airport to find the legendary baggage cart. I drove in, crashed through the barriers, did a powerslide, jumped out the car and got me a baggage cart. Hurray! So, in a moment of happiness, I decided to start driving around the airport.

Looking down at my radar I noticed that there are about 5 police cars heading my way. Whaaa? So I looked at the HUD and, oh my, FOUR STARS! All I did was innocently drive a baggage car around an airport and now the cops were coming to cap my ass. D:

In a moment of undeterred bravery, I wanted to get my baggage car from the airport to my apartment with 10 cop cars chasing me and a helicopter trying to shoot me down. I somehow managed to survive the entire journey and reached the street where my apartment is located. About 10 feet away from the door a cop car careers into my apartment's door blocking my way into the building.

Needless to say, I died. :(
 
When I drove onto the tarmac, I was surprised at first because I didn't get four stars, then I got them... I evaded the cops like a pro though and got my 4 star evasion achievement unlocked!
 
Well I beat the game. The first time through I was pretty sure I made the right decisions at the end. After that I went back to check out the other ending and I'm sure of it now.

Never before has a game made me think so much about what I want to choose.
 
Add me ladies "Hectic Glenn" is my tag, just got myself up and running on my new 360. Had a funny moment before, driving away from the police I found myself going into a road block, so I threw the handbrake on to swerve away. Unfortunately I took a big impact on the side of the car and I flew out the side window of the car onto the pavement and got gunned now. I thought the window screen was the only quick exit :(
 
I've already added you. I'm AngryTeapot. :p
 
Ah yes you did, my only friend! I messaged you back once I found out my keyboard worked with the 360...awesome. Need moar!
 
Just managed to escape a 6-star wanted level on free roam with a mate. :D It was pretty epic.

We were holed up in an apartment building just round the corner from Playboy's penthouse, gunning down everybody who came up the stairs.

We eventually managed to rack up 6-stars, and pushed our way down through the stairwell to the ground floor. During a little lull in the fighting, we both sprinted outside into the open as a few more SWAT trucks pulled up, and jumped into one of the bullet-ridden police cars from earlier. Only made it round the corner before a bunch of other police cars rammed us off the road. We both got out and legged it down some stairs into a subway station.

About 10 minutes of epic fighting in the station followed, fighting off the police from both sides from on the platform. Ran out of ammo pretty quickly, and decided to leg it down the tracks, picking off the few that followed us. In the end we had to run all the way to Bohan from Algonquin via the subway tunnel to shake them. :p

<3 this game.

Oh and speaking of epic, anyone done the 'Three Leaf Clover' mission for Packie yet? Probably one of the best missions I've ever played, in any game.
 
I ran down a subway tunnel just before to escape a four-star wanted level. Surprisingly creepy... walking through in the dark, the light at the end gradually dissapearing... the lights flickering on and off... sparks falling from the ceiling... and that ominous rumbling in the distance that you could swear was getting louder, to the point where you're checking behind you every 3 seconds or so.

Finally came into the station, about five seconds before the trains pulled up on either side of the tracks at the same time. D:

Which reminds me I still need to try and push a hobo onto the tracks at just the right moment. :D

Which also reminds me... is it just me, or do the homeless guys occasionally yell "CHEESY VAGINAS!" at you? If so, that's awesome.
 
I ****ed this hooker in a car and then I pulled out my glock and shot that bitch.

Shit was so cash.
 
Yeah, I escaped a 4 star wanted level this afternoon by legging it through a subway tunnel. I didn't want to, I actually wanted to come out at a station and continue the fighting but eventually the circle ended. I tell you what though, as BadHat said, the subway lines are really eerie. Surprisingly detailed, too, considering it's a place that it's going to be that important to the game. Stumbled across a crack den/hobo slum the other day, was pretty scary.
 
The most fun I've had yet is playing hide-and-seek with the cops at 6 stars. I'm still early in the story and on the first island but I just get a nice car and ramp it up the stairway under the Algonquin bridge and I get to the other side (no road block like above). I like the heat. :)

You can fly out the side window? wtf?


EDIT: And heh. I phoned Jacob for some stuff, and as he was leaving, I followed him in my car, watching him as he was trailing his way back. I decided I wanted to see if I could kill him, so I busted out my window and unloaded on his car with some submachine gun fire, and quickly his car came to a rolling stop with his horn sounding continously. A couple hours(in game) later, I got a phone call from him asking to be picked up from the hospital. Heh.
 
I'm stuck on the ****ing Snow Storm mission. Grgrgrhvbeh. It's one of those frustrating missions which I could probably do, it's just the effort that requires me to go to the mission, then go all the way back to the mission location, do it, perhaps fail, then do it all again. I've hit the wall, basically. The GTA ''meh, I can't be arsed'' /me turns off console wall.

Yeah, that mission got to me a few times. Presuming you've managed to fight your way out, there's:

A boat parked up at the dock outside the hospital. Once you fight your way out the front door, head right and go through the hole in the fence. There'll be a speed boat waiting.
 
The funniest thing just happened. I was going on a Subway for a mission and this homeless guy asks me for some change, so instead of just walking away I punched him onto the subway tracks, and the train hit him and he did a huge front flip and landed on top of the train dead.

Oh really? Nice, nice. Ta for that, I kept going for the car park cars and the two times I did manage to get into the city I just got rammed to hell then shot to shit. Think I'll fire it up and go that option now. :D
 
I took Michelle out to a bar on the third date, on our way out, I saw a cop draw his pistol on some thugs outside, a large gunfight ensued and Michelle was shot in the arm :(

We escaped though :D
Is every bar likely to have gunfights outside?
 
So, this technically isnt GTA IV related but, i can blame it some what on this game. And or my road rage. Anyway, i was driving through my home town this past week and i came to a intersection where there is 2 lanes that continue straight through the light, and a lane on the left for turning. I'm approaching the light (which was green) but the left lane turn signal was red. I'm coming up to the light when both lanes are covered by two slow ass drivers. Without even thinking i push the gas pedal down and swerve into the left lane, pass the car in the closest lane and then swerve back into the straight right before hitting oncoming traffic.

I approached the next light and came to a stop. And finaly realized what i did. I couldn't believe i got a way with it.

ps. I blame this a little on shamrock. I was on my way to pick him up and was running late.

I don't know. I haven't seen any gunfights go down yet. Only cops chasing people.

Obviously, shamrock is the girl in this case.
 
Was just driving around on Bohan and accidentally ran over a cop. Cue 3 star police chase.

First epic thing that happened was they set up a road block on East Borough Bridge. Before I got to it, a police car going at top speed towards me from the opposite side of the road block, hit the road-block, took off and did an in-line twist before landing on its wheels behind me. How I lol'd.

I smashed through the road block and continued along the road. About 300 yards down the road was a second road block, so I threw them off the scent by taking a sudden right turn across the rest of East Borough Bridge and towards the centre island. The police had lost sight of me!

Sensing victory, I rocketed down the road. Ignored the first intersection, planning to take a left next to Middle Park and head all the way down the city and grab a helicopter. However, I looked at my minimap and to the left was a police road block. And to the right there were two patrol cars heading for the bridge where I was last seen. So, T-junction: can't go left, can't go right. What do I do? Straight down the middle!

My car hit a two foot high wall, I was flung through the windscreen and flew for about 100 yards and landed in the Middle Park lake, losing my wanted status in the process.

It was awesome.
