GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (360): COMPLETED!
Seems I was a bit wrong in my stats last time. I was 50% complete at 8 hours. However, I was pretty close to completing the story, with only a handful of missions available. Still, it took me over 12 hours in total before I completed it. Thankfully, the ending mission was more lighthearted and less back-stabby than both Nico and Jonny’s plotlines. Even if it did turn out to be utterly ridiculous. Fun though.
GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony (360)
I’d previously been playing Perfect Dark Zero on my 360, when, after about 6 levels I thought – “Why the hell am I playing this?”. It was rubbish. And I had a billion other better things to play, like this already downloaded ages ago DLC for GTA IV. Whereas the main story was all over the place, but mainly involved Russians, and The Lost and Damned was all bikers and backstabbing, Gay Tony is overblown silliness involving nightclubs and helicopters …
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS): COMPLETED!
I’ve just completed this. And it was aces. The story was a proper GTA story, the missions were proper GTA missions, and the feel was proper GTA. It was probably easier than most previous games in the series, but that wasn’t a problem. It was just GTA in your hand, and that’s excellent.
GTAIV: The Lost and Damned (360): COMPLETED!
Erm, right. That was a bit short, wasn’t it? Yeah, so I have 11 of the 12 races left, and some of the gang warfare stuff, but I’ve done everything else. And it took me about 8 hours. I’m sure I read somewhere that The Lost and Damned expansion was supposed to provide “around 35 hours” extra gameplay. If so, I’d love to know where it was. Not that it really matters as I enjoyed it all anyway. At first …
GTAIV: The Lost and Damned (360)
I started playing this a bit before the weekend, then played it again for a couple of hours again today. So far, I’ve been enjoying it, but it isn’t quite working for me yet. There’s nothing wrong with it, as such, it’s just not as much fun as “proper” GTA IV was. Johnny is, in appearance at least, a carbon copy of Nico, and all his biker chums appear to be the same and I don’t remember who is who. …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
Well, that’s all the cars nicked for Stevie – all 30 of them. One was a little tricky as it was parking in a police station car park – next to a policeman. Managed to escape having shot the cop before stealing the car though. And then it was on to races for Brucie. Could I find a decent car anywhere though? No . So I turned up in this rubbish Mondeo-alike only to find a starting lineup of Infernuses. …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
First up this evening was nicking more cars for Stevie. One of them was a real pain to find – it said it was next to the Liberty Transport Authority building on Rotterdam Hill, but it was actually miles away. I spent a good 45 minutes trying to find it. Anyway, I’ve nicked 20 cars for him now. Then I played online for a few games, mainly in Ranked Team Deathmatch. I was disappointed not to get the achievement for …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
I’m starting to run out of things to do now, which is a shame. Having said that, I’m not going to milk it for all it’s achievement points, because some of them simply aren’t fun and will spoil my memory of the game. I finished off nicking all of the cars Brucie wanted (it turned out my email inbox was full, so wasn’t getting emails from him), which took most of today’s play. I went on some heli tours – …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
Dwayne’s special “power” GET! Jacob’s special “power” GET! And, thanks to finally getting hold of Brucie and taking him out loads of times, Brucie’s “power” GET! But I still can’t nick cars for Brucie, even though his like for me is now 94%. GTA Glitch WatchAside from Brucie’s not-sending-me-emails bug, the game stops working every time I try to got for a heli ride with him. I call him up for one, drive to his house, and the game “takes …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
I’m trying to build up relationships with all my in-game friends at the moment. Packie and Jacob in particular, as their like for me are both very low. Spent most of today’s play doing that, but also nicked another couple of cars for Stevie. No emails from Brucie though about nicking more cars for him, although he only likes me 35% so that might be it…
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
Yeah so anyway. It’s complete but there’s still stuff to do! By day, I’m friend-to-all, taking my chums out for meals and drinks and games, and by night I’m nicking cars for Brucie and Stevie. It’s an ace double life! Only Brucie isn’t sending me emails with requests for cars any more. I think it’s because his like for me is only 35%, but I can’t increase it as he never answers the phone! Pff. What percentage do you have …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360): COMPLETED!
At 57 hours game time, and on my third attempt, I completed the final mission and killed Dimitri. Game over! And around 20 minutes of credits too – they even name the office receptionist… But I wasn’t happy with the outcome. Someone dies, and I didn’t like it. So I went back to a previous save and chose to kill Dimitri then rather than work with him. The result? Another death. A different death, sure, but one that was a …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
Played mainly online today. Started off with a bit of Free Play, then Deathmatched for a game or to, before finishing off the session with several rounds of Mafiya Work. The latter of which was actually better than I was expecting, but seemed far too random to require much skill – whoever was nearest the target when it appeared tended to “win”. After that, I was kicked off Live for some reason, so played offline for a bit. I attempted …
Grand Theft Auto IV (360)
So I tooled up and retried the mission, completing it without any problems this time. After which it was time for Roman’s wedding – a wedding which I was told was going to take place at 10am. I hung around a safe house, shopped for a new suit, and went for a walk while waiting. But the game never told me where to actually go. Come 1pm, I decided to save my game, and then immediately afterwards got a call …
