Thread Starter 
I created a similar thread for Gears of War a while back, and I think it would go great with this kind of game. It's pretty simple: if you pull of an amazing stunt, have a nail biting game online, or just something you want to brag about or observe in game, do it here.

Nothing too crazy just yet. I was about 3 minutes into the game and all my friends were watching. I figured I'd jack my first car, so I run out into the street and try to get in front of a car figuring they'll stop like they always do....except here. I got plowed into by an SUV and dragged several feet while under the tires before promptly receiving the gray scale death.

Great thread idea.

I played for an hour at lunch today. I jacked a guy from what was a fairly nice car...understandably he didn't want to let it go. He held onto the door, leaving it flailing open while I drove off.

Then, there it was. A parked car. Speed gained, position adjusted...SPLAT. Rammed the guy right into the hood of the parked car, his body went flying and blood was SPRAYED across the side of the car. Awesome.

Here's my story. Got it last night, played for an hour went to bed. Woke up this morning to play, and my machine RROD.

Just got back from Best Buy with a new one (with HDMI!) and will be able to play in a bit. Then I'll have some stories.

At one point I drove my car right into a bridge partition separating the islands (because it wasn't unlocked yet), I flew through the windshield, landed right at the foot of a police officer, instantly got a six star wanted level, and ran around before I was shot in a hail of gunfire that would have made Dillinger nod in respect. This all took about 6 seconds.

The shit faced physics in this game are sick. I stumbled around for quite awhile and I finally got tired of trying to hail a cab, so I figured I'd go ahead and try to drive me and Roman home. I make it to a car and we drive away. I make it a good 4 feet and then smash into a cop car. I have no intention of trying to make it out on foot, so I try to drive away with the cops after me. I get a handle on things and turn the corner and collide head first into a garbage truck. This ejects Neiko from the car and the cops arrest me as I'm lying in a pool of blood and vomit on the pavement.

Ah, Hamburgers. Shouldn´t have clicked on this thread. As if the other GTAIV thread wasn´t enough, this one will surely make me buy either an Xbox or PS3. I resisted long enough. But back to lurking and saving money. For now.

There was also the time I jacked a car, had two cops put me at gun point, and I decided to run.

I made it about 10 yards before they shot me in cold blood.

Proceeded to get up on the subway tracks with cops following me, dive out of my car as the train is coming. Train proceedes to hit said cops, I jump in the train and get away. Good stuff.

Got run over by a guy in an ice cream van. Whilst struggling to get up, got run over again.

Then the guy in the ice cream van got out of his van and shot me.

It was very annoying.

Not much of a story but I thought the detail of this was pretty cool. I was driving with Roman to go play some pool when, at an intersection, I t-boned this car. After I hit the car, the car continues forward slowly before making a sharp left turn into a wall killing the driver with the his head on the steering wheel with the car horn blaring. Nice.

When you first use the "stun" thingy, the guy crawls away around a corner and dies really slowly if you leave him to it. Also, the comments your girlfriend makes when you're having sex are priceless.

I was running away from some angry cops and I turned a corner and saw a fence. I was thinking, "Fuck you coppers!" and I decided to jump over it...

...not realizing I was on a bridge...

...and there was a fifty foot drop. Ouch.

Michelle is hilariously bland. She doesn't drink, constantly prods into your personal life, and shouts "Your so....great!" You're great!" in bed.

I got bored while on a date with her and thought I would find out what happens if I shoot her. I whipped out a shotgun, shot her in the gut, and was told by the game that "Michelle is scared." I was then given a cinema of her telling me she was tired and was going to go home.

Screwing around got boring kinda quickly. I went straight into the storyline after some playing around getting used to the physics.

Speaking of Michelle...for our second date, I jacked a nice, shiny SUV and, en route to her apartment, nailed a civilian so hard, that fucker went FLYING. This being GTA, I thought nothing of it, until I parked at her place and, as the camera swung around as she got in my car, I saw the huge smear of blood up the front of the car, all that was left of that poor pedestrian. Michelle, being the ice cold bitch that she is, didn't care.

Also, running from the cops and hopping from my car to lose them. My wanted level gone, I go back to my car and reverse it. Well, the door hadn't closed and thanks to the new physics engine, I killed 4 people on the sidewalk with my car door. It was awesome. Doorings are a viable means of death in the game.

I spent maybe 30 minutes doing that, but yeah, it gets old and with the driving physics nearly impossible to get an early handle on, you're not going to outrun the cops. Stay with the story or missions and unlock more abilities before you decide to rampage.

Question: Something I've always had a problem with GTA are the guns. They always sound weak. And after CoD4 I just can't have that shit anymore.

Please tell me they have some serious pop now?

They sound like you'd expect them to sound. I've only got a pistol, shotgun, and uzi right now. They aren't going to wow you sound effects wise, but I will say that when you shoot someone with them, the new physics really give it a kick.

Probably best you stay off this thread for fear of story spoilers. (Only a suggestion!) As I said in the other GTA thread the new weapons have much better sound work, better kick and the targetting is improved.

I stand directly in front of a taxi cab in the park. Then I take out my pistol and headshot the cab driver. I'm still admiring the way the blood hits the inside of the windshield when the dead driver slumps forward in his seat, hitting the gas. The runaway cab drives right over me, then rockets right over the railing of the bridge straight ahead, and finally rolls into the path of traffic and explodes.

So, this game is pretty good.

Played very briefly so far, mostly just goofing off... I did my first high speed bail into the grill of an oncoming taxi. Particle effects galore and I still managed to walk away. It looked VERY painful, and yes, it was awesome. If this game had a replay feature like Halo 3 it would be pure gold. I was on my first date with Michelle and decided to end the game by totalling her car. Early on I drove onto the sidewalk and smooshed some guy into a wall, crushing him to death. It too looked VERY painful, and yes, it was awesome. the best part was that Michelle just kept talking as if nothing had happened. I must be a stud like that, to hold her attention. NICE!!!

within my first 15 minutes playing, i am walking looking for a car to jack when I hear a big crash to my left thanks to surround sound.

I look over and two drivers are getting into an altercation over the accident...the cops show up with guns drawn...one driver actually knocks the other out and when the cops try to approach him to arrest him the fucker runs!

I instantly thought, "hey stop that bastard" and punched him in the face as he ran by me, so my wanted level jumps to two (i assume because two cops saw me do this) and I died in a 10 second barrage of gunfire...Last time I try to be a good guy.

So, I'm finishing an errand for Vlad, and crossing the street, when this guy, about 250 lbs, looks like Stone Cold Steve Austin's bastard child, runs me over in a sedan. I get up, dust myself off a little irked, but okay, he starts honking his horn, and his friend starts bitching me out for blocking the road.

I pull a shotgun on the driver, aim at his head, he freaks. I fire a "Don't fuck with me" shot at the hood of the car, he steps out, hands up, and surrenders at gunpoint, pleading for his life. I aim for his crotch, Pulp Fiction fresh in memory, he runs off crying like a 6 year old with a skinned knee. I point the gun at his friend, who surrenders and runs off as well. Because I'm an ass, I grab one of the bricks I just used for the actual mission, aim, and nail him in the small of his back from half a block away.

I then walked off and hailed a taxi, whistling a happy little tune to myself in real life.

Well Day 1 of GTA4 ended with a serious bang for me. I finished up my last mission for the night, and I decided it was mayhem time before I go to bed. So I call 911 and request a fire truck, it shows up and I summarily jack the fucker. I escape without incident, and now I'm tooling around town in my big red fire engine. Eventually I find a busy intersection, park myself on the sidewalk, and start firing the hose at the windshields of passing cars. You wouldn't imagine the chaos this caused, it was like the Piccadilly Circus scene in American Werewolf. Completely blinded by the high-powered hose, drivers were swerving wildly off the road and smashing into pedestrians, cars were spinning out of control from the slick road and into each other, not to mention the random passersby that were blown into traffic from the force of the hose. It was awesome, dozens of people killed and all done with nothing but water.

Then the cops showed up and were none too happy, but I made them take a good long drink from the fire hose before they took me down.

I don't know if this is "scripted" or not, but on the mission where you have to pull over vans in a cop car checking for tvs, I finally pulled over the last van and was standing at the back of the van looking at the tvs when the guy's friend whips out a gun and announces "Big mistake buddy!"

Before he can get a shot off, a truck slams into the back of my police cruiser, driving it forward and squishing the guys between the squad car and the van in a shower of blood, so I quickly hop in the van and burn out laughing at the good fortune


EDIT: Also, I just wiped out the biker gang and was heading back to the safehouse to save and pack it in for the night. I'm flying through this field and see a chain link fence up ahead. "oh, i blow through those in cars and i'm goin pretty fast, no problem'

I flew about 30 feet straight in the air and landed in the middle of traffic with just a sliver of health left. Freaking. hilarious.

This happend to me as well. Pretty awsome the first time you see yourself fly out of the windscreen.

The other cool thing I discoverd was that if you start a fight, and then run away if you run towards the police they will arrest the guys chasing you and leave you alone.

Good times.

As long as they don't see you start the fight but see you being attacked it seems to hold true.

I've tried it a couple of times since.

Just went to a bar with Roman, and for the first time Niko was falling down while walking back to the car.

Also the first time that I had to lose a one-star wanted level for drunk driving (did not crash into a pedestrian or anything, a cop must have just peeped the swerving vehicle).

This game is never short of something new.

Just jacked a garbage truck and got it up top speed, its freakin unstoppable! Just plows through cars like butter. I was laughing manically to myself while speeding along and I didn't notice the the brick wall up ahead with a hot dog vendor innocently selling his wares standing in front of it. Smashed him and his cart into the wall at full speed, somehow his cart pinged off the wall and went flying down the street. I slowly reversed and the fella was still standing but slowly slumped to the floor leaving a nice bloodstain on the wall and all over the front of my truck....I love this game


Has anyone else noticed that if you put a car on its roof it doesnt explode anymore?

Car explosions are random now - it depends on the damage to the car. Sometimes the engine will just fail to start (which was a really nice touch) and sometimes a small fire will start and slowly spread.

It's a very elegant system.
