Hopeful features in GTA IV

I want to see Brighton Beach, judging by the Eastern European accent and what could have been the cyclone it is very possible.

Yep, judging from the trailer I think we're going to see a much expanded Liberty City. Also looks like it's definitely set post year 2000.

Oh and what is everyone’s beef with SA?

The gameplay was certainly fun and I like the early 90s theme but the storyline was just really dumbed down and not very interesting. CJ is also kind of annoying and talks way too much. I guess that makes me a racist.

It was based on a bunch of hood movies Especially the beginning and it basically followed the same formal as the previous games. You start out as a common thug and work your way up by being a badass. I actually found the GTA games to get really boring after a while its always like “go here, kill him, drive her”. But don’t get me wrong I’m still going to get IV when it comes out.
 
I could've sworn the original GTA, the London 1960s expansions, and GTA2 came out on PC first then Playstation shortly after.

That was in a different era, mate. Beer was colder, pizza tastier, women more willing, PC considered the main gaming platform..

Bah.

Released simultaneously (or near simultaneously) for PC and Playstation.

Also, my beef with San Andreas was all of the bullshit 'roleplaying' I had to. This is a freaking GTA game, I don't want to worry about my fat/muscle balance or how my girlfriend is doing; I want to drive over some people.
 
Specialist said:
Yeah, but Sander; you didn't have to worry about that.
Yes you did. Having too little fat kills you, having too much fat hinders you. Having too few muscles limits you.

You're right in that you didn't have to worry about your girlfriend, though. But that's about the only feature you didn't have to worry about without suffering some serious consequences (the whole 'your hood is under attack' shit? Bah!)
 
It's a little annoying but all those worries could be avoided eventually. When you max out your stamina it stays up there. Also, max out your strength and keep your fat level at a minimal level by eating the fattiest meal at restaurants every once in a while. That way you'll just lose that little fat when you run and not muscle.

As for your hood, well, if you wipe everyone out then no one will be bothering you anymore. Otherwise, if you don't feel like getting into a gang war at the moment, you should go to a safehouse and save the game when the hood-under-attack warning comes up. The warning will go away and that hood section will still be yours. Of course, this won't prevent from other attacks coming up later.

It does? I have eaten exactly three times in the game and have never died.
Well, unless you never walk, fat burns away. If you have no more fat, muscles burn away. And then your energy burns away, and you die. Eventually.

And you can ignore pretty much everything.
I can, but it's still piss-annoying.

Umm, yes, that happens. IRL. I've been playing GTA:SA for days now after finishing it and nothing happens. Even when my fat was 0 nothing happened.

Unless of course by eventually you mean "after four years of playing the game".
 
I dunno. I had fun flying airplanes containing girlfriends into mountains.
 
I never died of a low fat count either. I did enjoyed the flying airplanes and in GTA:SA the most. GTA(irplanes)...

To bad that GTA IV won't have much aircrafts. I still hope they will be there. otherwise GTA's modding community will put them in...if possible.

I always preferred getting them to stand in front of the train when it came barreling around, that or BASE jumping off a skyscraper and watching them flail around without a parachute...

(I am such a virtual misogynist...)

It does for me.

Also, I almost forgot about the required story mission where you need to have a certain swimming (or maybe underwater breathing) capacity to even start it.
 
Hah, that bugged me too. I also thought I was just supposed to swim so I wasted a lot of time before I figured out that I was supposed to be underwater to bump the skill.
