He's up the stairs and round the corner. Hell, there's only place he can run.

Yeah, it was kinda obvious to me - having said that, shame you can't do the B button thing when on foot and chasing a target.

Well, I think it's both.

Being blind drunk in this is horrible, just like real life.

Compared to what we're used to in games, it's far more believeable.

Well, yeah, I've just never seen people stumble about like they're in that Sumitori game whilst drunk. Funny though.

Quick question - how the cunting fuck do I get Nico to climb a ladder?! The 'climb' button just seems to make him jump up. And yes, I'm on the right side of the ladder.

Man, it's like Assassin's Creed never happened.

I'd like to know this too. I spent the better part of 20 mins shouting "CLIMB THE FUCKING LADDER YOU CUNT!!" at the TV last night.

EDIT: Ah.

You 'get in it' like a vehicle. Baffling, I know.

Sorry for teh gushing but this is an incredible game. I hit the town with LJ and went to that Irish bar. When we walked out drunk we where standing back to back holding each other up I walked off LJ fell over, I got to the bar on a bike so I thought it would not be a good idea to drive let alone ride (I'll try it another time though :( ) I tried hailing a taxi but Niko slurrs "taaaaaxiiiiii" after the taxi had passed him and was 100 yards down the road :huh: Euphoria is the shit. Next gen indeed.

Another occiasion I was riding across one of the bridges and it was a glorious sunny day so I'd thought that I'd stop and admire some views from the bridge. I pulled my bike over so to let other drivers pass me. There was a lot of commotion behind me on the opposite side of the road with beeping a swearing from drivers and it was not me blocking the road. I saw a jeep just stopped there and it looked like no one was driving but on closer inspection there was an old man slumped in the drivers seat and I thought LOL hes sleeping the silly old fool but then I thought to myself let me wake him up by dragging out of his seat then as I done that he just rolled onto the floor. He was dead. Noone seemed to have shot him or anything he was just dead. This was one of those OMG moments :( did he die from a heart attack or something. I doubt I see this again. Anyone come across this?

I've only just realised you can do a slow job by holding A.

*slaps forehead*

So hold A for a slow job, tap it for a sprint.

Slow job? :huh:

There's a typo in there somewhere. I'm curious to discover if it's the word Slow or the word Job which is incorrect, though.

One thing I did like about multiplayer is that in the mission-based games you play weird bearded men who dress like folk singers. Last, night I played a David Blunkett lookalike in a chunky-knit sweater, and one of my friends was a Bergerac-looking motherfucker in a loud check jacket.

Demographic Lunchtime Observation Anecdote:

On GT Prologue release, the GAME shop was rammed at lunchtime, with loads of working stiffs buying it.

On GTA4 release, the GAME shop was quiet at lunchtime, and packed in the early evening after the schools had finished for the day.

They might have preordered it, or assumed it'd be sold out by lunch.

When did Prologue come out? Was it a Friday?

Friday > Tuesday?

The schoolkids probably got it via PSN with their parent's credit cards.

Highlights so far:

Took Michelle on a date to a bar and I staggered out drunk to find some bastard had nicked my bike. I considered walking her back to her apartment but, after falling over repeatedly, decided to just hail a cab. However, it had not got to the point where it lets you, so instead I went and jacked a car and drunkenly drove it back. Michelle’s response? ‘Wow Niko, you’re so dangerous’. You know we totally went back into her place and did the horizontal monster mash!

A massive shoot out in the hospital. I was there for about 25 minutes holding off the cops after I’d gone on a shotgun spree throughout the patients (kinda like that bit in the Frighteners where he goes round capping them as they sleep) until the fuzz turned up and I waged a one man war on them until I’d almost run out of bullets. I did a Butch Cassidy style charge out at the end, amazingly topped off by the slow mo death cam as I was gunned down on the steps of the hospital by about 20 coppers…epic.

An on-foot chase across half the city in the pissing rain and thunder and lightning, culminating in me on top of the roller coaster track with choppers whizzing over head, thunder and lightning crashing around me. Amazing scenes.

Love it. Totally, totally love it.

You could always have thought of your blood pressure and spent ten seconds trying buttons whilst stood in front of one :huh:

Or you could have paid attention the first time you had to climb a ladder when it was explained to you how to do so.

It's obviously my favourite game of all time. I lost count of the times I paused to take in a stunning view yesterday. But as always, the missions themselves are largely a load of rubbish. 9 times out of 10 it's just turning up at a location to find a group of enemies standing motionless waiting for your arrival. I'm about ten hours in and the best bit is still the porno shop with Dimitri. Disappointing.

does it let you climb them before your told how to? cos it wont let you call taxi's until the specific event has occured in the game?
