Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Thread
Happywonton, I had the same complaints but I discovered the "select button" during the pre-match screen that allows you to quickly choose another game if you wanna leave the group that you're currently in.
It helps as you don't have to leave the game and go back to single player in order to bring up your cell phone and start another multiplayer match.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Thread
Will someone enlighten me as to what exactly is going on w/the multiplayer mode..? Is everyone the main character trying to achieve an objective, or..?

There's different game modes, I like turf war because it's a set team vs. team game. There are others but um, I like that one the best. Green = your team.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Thread
You're not the main character but you can customize your own - albeit with very limited customization options. My character right now is a zombie (yes, a zombie) with yellow R* underwear and dark glasses, which i think is kick-ass.
There's 14 multiplayer games you can choose from like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Cops 'N Crooks and you can choose how much of the city you want to use as your 'playground'.

Take-Two's 'Grand Theft Auto IV' tops $500M in week 1 sales
NEW YORK - "Grand Theft Auto IV" raked in more than $500 million in its first week in stores, selling more than 6 million units worldwide, the video game's publisher said Wednesday.
The highly anticipated title from Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. has received stellar ratings along with criticism for its violent content. The game follows Eastern European immigrant-turned gangster Niko Bellic on crime missions around a fictional Liberty City.
The title sold about 3.6 million units on April 29, its opening day, bringing in roughly $310 million. This is $10 million more than what Microsoft Corp.'s "Halo 3," another blockbuster game, took in during its first week last fall.
New York-based Take-Two is the subject of a $2 billion hostile buyout from larger rival Electronic Arts Inc., which Take-Two has repeatedly rebuffed as too low.
Take-Two's shares were recently trading at $26.39, above EA's tender offer of $25.74 per share, which expires May 16. Unless EA is willing to offer more, it seems "increasingly possible" the acquisition attempt could unravel, Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey said in a note to investors.
Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter disagrees, however, saying the game's sales were well within his expectations.
"I don't think it changes the value of the company," he said. "I think we are going to end up with a Microsoft-Yahoo situation," with Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick believing the company is worth more and EA chief John Riccitiello disagreeing.
Three months after it first made an offer, Microsoft dropped its $47.5 billion bid for Yahoo Inc. over the weekend after the companies couldn't agree on a price.
Pachter said he expects the game to sell 12 million copies by the end of 2008. GTA's previous versions have sold more than 70 million copies worldwide.
Already, the game seems to be living up to its juicy past, which includes controversy over hidden sex scenes, sharp criticism from Hillary Rodham Clinton and a 2006 lawsuit that blames the game for three New Mexico murders committed by a 14-year-old.
For one, Take-Two sued the Chicago Transit Authority on Monday for removing ads for the game because of its "Mature" rating, which means it is not suitable for people under 17. And the game also caught the ire of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, which seeks an adults-only rating because it lets players drive after imbibing in virtual liquor.

As a response to the drunk driving, that was the funniest shit I've ever seen. My Niko was walking towards the car and then just fell down and laid there. I was like WHAT NO WAY! Driving was easy but that shit was so funny.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Thread
I think this game is affecting my driving in real life. I was just picking up a friend from the airport a few hours ago after a marathon of playing GTA IV and while I was driving on the freeway I kept thinking that everyone else on the road was driving too slow and I was speeding past them.
Then I almost ran a red light cause it's what I usually do in the game. It's like I have to think that I'm not playing the game whenever I drive in real life.
I guess videogames DO affect what you do in real life. lol
