Post Your GTA IV Stories

I was sniping at a tower at the ship in Bomb da Base and I had a few stars because I had shot some cops too. I wanted to go down but instead of climbing the ladder down, I just let myself fall, the damage I took wasn't much. I let myself drop from the second ladder and when the camera panned down I saw this cop climbing the ladder. I hit him dead on with my full weight, killing him instantly :D
 
I was almost dead with 4 stars and decided to go to sleep and save my game, when I awoke, I had no stars, I walked outside only to have an officer put a 9mm round right through me.

:/
 
I was playing single player and had just walked out of a safehouse and thanks to the funny camera angle i couldnt see a huntley sport coming and was promptly knocked down. The driver stops and gets out of the vehicle whilst throwing the usual GTA style insult at me. I was just about to beat the crap out of the driver for running me over when a car coming in from the same direction swerved out of the way to miss the now stationary huntley and ploughed right into a lamp post on the otherside of the road. The lamp post sort of jammed again the crashed car but was leaning into the middle of the road and the top light section of the lamp post broke off and fell on the huntley drivers head killing him outright... free dropped cash for me and a nice vehicle with a rather nice and inviting open door! Karma does exist i tell you!!
 
I was screwing around with some cheats on another save earlier this evening just ****ing with the cops you know? The ycall in a chopper, so I pulled out the rpg and scored a direct hit on the bottom of the chopper. Did a flip, nosedived and crashed right on top of me. Exploded about two seconds later.

More recently, I just finished saving Roman from those Russians in the warehouse. Deciding I want to do another mission for Francis I called for a taxi and it dropped me off at the corner of Castle Gardens, South Parkway. I left Niko idle for a few seconds so I could eat and when I look up several cars just start exploding out of ****ing nowhere. Really weird, but so awesome.
 
I crashed my bike on the elevated freeway in south Alderney. It came to a rest just on the curb next to the ledge, so I ran up and pressed Y to get back on, and Niko jumps up onto the curb... and LEAPS OVER THE MOTHER****ING LEDGE TO HIS DEATH.

:|

Also, I was giving Brucie a lift before, and just as we came to a stop at his destination a car pulled up next to his door, blocking him in. So what does he do? He leans over, PUNCHES ME OUT OF THE MY SIDE OF THE CAR, yelling "gimme that ****ing car!" (kind of neat they'd record such incidental dialogue for the side characters, I'd never heard that from any of them before), then hopped out of my door and calmly walked off, leaving me buckled over on the pavement.

:| :|

Edit - Haha, there's an article on the GTA 'net about furries and what sexual positions they use for 'realism', and how they're all fed up with doggie style.
 
There's an assassination mission in which you have to take down some bikers doing a drug deal. I fired an RPG into their midst from a block away, but one of their number survived and made a run for it. As I was chasing him, I passed through the area where most of the group had died. Their corpses were sitting upright on their motorbikes, engulfed in flames.

Really quite creepy, for some reason.
 
For the assassin mission with taking down the chopper, I fired 1 shot of the RPG, hit it on the launch pad, and made the quickest money I've ever gotten in the game.
 
Yeah, the assassin missions were dead easy. Get a boat and chase down some lady in her own yacht? **** that, how about I just snipe you from the shoreline? Ka-ching.
 
I hope one of the updates (if not the first) is a series of proper assassination missions whereby you will have 24 hours to kill a politician or whatever and you'll be given his schedule for that day and it's up to you when and how you kill him.

Do you plant a bomb on his car in the morning at the risk of being spotted by security guards?

Do you burst into his morning meeting and kill everyone in the room before escaping up the fire escape?

Do you hijack his helicopter as he is on his way to a public event then jump out onto the Empire State Building's viewing platform whilst the helicopter plunges to the road below?

Do you snipe him from the building opposite as he cuts the ribbon on a newly opened police station?

Do you break in through the window of the motel he is in and kill both him and the diseased hooker who gave you herpes the other night?

I think it would be fantastic! :E


Anyway, my story:

I was escaping from the police and the "Feds" on a mission late in the game, three stars. I was speeding along the big raised road on the third island and was just on the edge of the ring when I saw police coming the other way, ready to cut me off. Then, on a 1 in a million chance, there was a coned off gap in the wall at the edge of the road. Without thinking about the raised nature of the road, I smashed through the cones and went cart-wheeling through the air. Somehow, despite all the closely packed building beneath me, the van landed on its wheels... hard. The axles were buckled, the engine was smoking, but I'd escaped the police. Then it just took me 20 minutes of only being able to turn left to get back to the lockup. :E

Was epic though.
 
Not really a story but killing the lawyer during your 'interview' for Francis Mcreary was awesome, I blew him out of the windows behind him with the combat shotgun, then jumped out the window I just blew out to see his body dangling from the window ledge :D

Felt badass.
 
Take the road in Times Square (or whatever it is) that go towards Middle Park, be sure to be on a bike and then hit the wall that around the park at full speed, you'll fly from the bottom of the park to the middle of it, so damn fun, you go so high above the city too. Spent a good hour doing that
 
I got in a car and the radio was making the static noise that happens when you change stations. It continued for a few minutes and I ended up reloading my save to fix the problem. :\
 
Spent the higher end of the day reading article in "The Liberty Tree"
Don't read this if your planning on checking out The Liberty Tree
One article was titled "Cat shits in garden" with the caption "Not related to Bear shit in woods"
I laughed for about 5 minutes.
 
I did the Bohan broken bridge jump in a Securicar. Cleared the bridge, went nose down into the road and MONSTERLY PANCAKED a sedan. The left side was untouched, but the entire right side from the trunk to the front wheel was less than a foot high. I wish I had my camera to take a picture. It was still 90% drivable.
 
Did my first ranked multiplayer game, Team Deathmatch, ended up with the most kills (36) and most deaths (41)

Yeah I did the say except I killed them all. But once I beat it I went up to the burning bodies on the motorcycles and started smacking them with a baseball bat. All of the sudden I hear "Kshh yeah we got reports of burn victims on (street) and (street) kshh" and I got a start, lulz.
 
I just did that mission, and the RPG missed. :( Had to chase a bunch of them down.
 
I jacked this car at a red light on my first go, and reverse into the car behind me. The guy I'd just thrown out tries the door handle to get back in.. I drive off, the guy still holding onto the handle. Mustof dragged him atleast 5 blocks down the road. All the while his legs getting crush under the back left wheel. When he decided he'd had enough he went straight under the back wheel head and all, and randomly my car side flipped diagonally into a group of pedestrians. Pretty goddam hilarious for a first try.
 
I just went on a fun rooftop rampage.

I grabbed a heli from helitours and flew a few blocks into the city, landing on a rooftop that is relatively low compared to the skyscrapers surrounding it. I was low enough that I could lock on to people that were close to the building, but not to the people more than 30 feet from it.

I proceeded to snipe peds as they went about their daily lives - of course after the first shot they were all running targets except for the stoic hot dog salesman. I got up to 3 stars quickly after dropping a grenade on top of two cop cars. In comes a heli, I pick off his side-gunners and he takes up an observation position high above me, out of reach. I keep up my fire, picking off cops. 4 stars....5 stars....

Now the Annihilators start coming. The first approached from the side just above my height. I could still see the pilot though :) I pop him with a sniper shot as they pass by. The chopper spins and detonates the large group of squad cars and NOOSE vans. 6 stars.

I keep dropping Annihilator pilots as they fly in, some are fortunate enough to land relatively harmlessly on the ground, letting out their passengers. Others bounce off buildings and send unfortunate cops on the ground flying hundreds of yards with the rotors before they snap off.

This whole time I've been standing at the corner of this building so I can get the best view of the street. I still have full health and most of my armor. I figure I'd crouch to get better aim. You know how cops tend to swarm by the base of the building that you're on? Well apparently I was closer to the edge than I thought and by crouching and rotating, I lost my footing. I plummet towards the ground. Now that the cops have a good shot, they ALL open fire. I'm peppered with bullets on the way down. I die BEFORE I hit the ground.
 
I attempted Three Leaf Clover and got to the part where you have to find a four-door car. I found a car but Patrick just stood their like a 'tard being shot by about 12 police officers, refusing to enter the car. :|

Haha anyone seen the swing glitch yet? It's ****ing hilarious! :D Spent like an hour with a couple of mates on free roam messing about. Here's a video the glitch: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gJ1F6Lme3NI

Basically just drive up to the middle pole of the swing set, and hold down the gas until you go flying. :LOL: It really mashes up the cars too.

Edit - Nearly forgot, here's where to find it - http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o8/cocowow1/SwingofDeath.jpg

lol! Can you do the rolled over achievement with that? (roll a car 5 times from a single accident)

I already had the achievement beforehand so I'm not too sure. It's probably worth a try!

In singleplayer I think you have to reverse into the swingset, otherwise Niko does tend to go flying through the windscreen. Doesn't happen on multiplayer though. Just the other day my mate managed to send an ambulance flying all the way to the docks in west Broker, I couldn't stop laughing. :LOL:
 
****ING PHIL BELL!

He keeps getting himself killed in the Catch A Wave mission, I hate these ****ing missions where the shit A.I ****s you over.
 
Tried that swing glitch in several cars, none of them launch more then 2 feet into the air. Is there a special way to do this?
I just pull a car in backwards and wait, as I thought was being done in the video...

Yeah mine go maybe a few streets but never as far as in the video.
 
Try parking parallel on the west side of the northen swingset.
 
I got it this friday, finished just now. Man my head is muush.

The men's rom where awesome! Bas Rutten ****ing rule!
 
Well, uh. Let me preface this with a disclaimer: I've always done stupid shit with grenades in every video game. While I eventually got good with them in CS, they haunt me in random games. If there's a grenade around something stupid as hell will happen.

I was on the end of the game, about to kill my target, when I decided I'd whack him with a baseball bat to get the cut scene prompt. I guess I was being creative. Went to swing my bat, hit a different button or two, ended up somehow throwing a grenade. No idea how I managed this. Anyway, as I realize what happened, it bounces off the wall and I see it flying toward Nico. I start mashing buttons, but I'm too late. Felt like the biggest moron, but couldn't stop laughing as Nico asploded. I knew it was coming. I just knew I couldn't play a game all the way through without blowing myself up at least once (car chases and helicopter crashes DO NOT COUNT).

Best way I've found is to just back the car slowly into the middle stand of the swingset until the wheels start spinning very slowly by themselves. It doesn't seem to matter much whether you keep reversing into it or stay still, it's pretty much up to chance. Sometimes you'll go a few feet, sometimes it'll fling you into a wall or onto a nearby rooftop, a few times it's launched me right down to the park next to the tw@ cafe. Doesn't seem to depend on the car too much either as I've done it in an ice cream truck too. :D
 
Perhaps I am at the wrong swingset? There are only two stands in it, and I never see the wheels turn, the swing just wacks the car out of the spot.
