I just hope the game is fun to play this time.

If that damn hispanic woman from San Andreas is back, I'm burning the disk. That character is the reason I STILL can't bring myself to put the disc back in my PS2/PS3 and finish the game.
It's a crying shame, because the rest of the game is fantastic. It's definitely my second favorite in the series, in addition to having the best soundtrack of any sandbox game I've ever played.
I'll wait for good mods to appear on the PC first.
Since GTA3, I've been installing shitloads of mods on all my GTA games, mostly real-life cars, and I just can't imagine myself doing without them. The only GTA game I've played without modding is Chinatown wars on the DS. In fact, modding was what made me stick with the PC version of GTA4 despite the GFWL and other crap.
speaking of Chinatown Wars, I loved the police chase mechanics and the drug dealing system (as wrong as it sounds) and the online Ammu-Nation. Those are features I really want to see in the "full blown" version of GTA. The police chase mechanics make car chases far more intense and epic. The drug dealing system is an addictive way to earn $$$ and also encourages me to explore. The online Ammu-Nation delivery is just uber convenient. Hell, I'd buy a remake of Chinatown Wars using whatever the latest GTA engine is.
as for the trailer, I couldn't help but notice that proper randomized license plates were present on the cars.
Also, I'd like cheats to be easier to enter, instead of through the cell phone, so that my random boredom-killing rampages can last as long as in GTA3. Don't lie, I know you've all at some point loaded up a few cheat codes in GTA and gone blasting away.
Sadly yes. If you make an offline profile for GTA4, do NOT use it to try the multiplayer. It'll switch into an online profile with the added benefit of fucking up all your game saves.Originally Posted by Kornman00
Nevertheless, the ability to add real-life cars is what keeps me playing.

i would assume any game that uses GFWL is going to still have it on steam. it would be too awesome if it didnt.
but yeah according to steam's store page, it does use GFWL
Yeah, GTA IV on Steam uses GFWL. I know because I started to play Episodes from LC at the beginning of summer. The writing and characterization is just way more obnoxious than I remember from playing the main game 3 years earlier. That's kind of scary, because that was one of the few things I felt positive about.
How are the faces looking? Everybody in GTA 4 had Ron Perlman mouth.

Huh, you know out of all the gameplay videos and various discussions I've watched/listened to/read, not once has GFWL popped up. You'd think it'd be brought up more.
its just that its fresh on my mind. bought bioshock 2 on steam, tried to play it yesterday, spent 20 minutes on the title screen while GFWL crashed 7 times, rendering the game literally unplayable "out of the box", so to speak. honestly im fucking shocked. i thought all the rumors i heard about it were exaggerated. turns out theyre not at all.
so yeah, absolutely will not buy this if it has GFWL integration unless somebody makes something to rip it out like they did with fallout 3 and GTAIV
Holy crap. I haven't had a problem with GFWL ever. I rather enjoy the achievements. Across H2V, Fallout, GTA IV, Batman, Dirt 2, Etc. I haven't ever had GFWL lock up my computer.
I hate to say it, but you guys must have some horrible systems, or some really old versions of GFWL to hate it so much.
I for one support GFWL 100% in GTA V
They may have been contractually obligated to use GFWL, because MS funded the GTA IV DLC episodes. I don't think the DLC sold well enough for MS to want to do that again.
I've had issues with Fallout 3 and Bioshock 2, but not GTA IV, Red Faction Guerilla, or Halo 2. Implementations and stability seems to vary by game. With Fallout 3, I can't click directly on any buttons of the GFWL interface. I have to put my cursor to the right of anything I intend to click. To this day -- with all the Live client updates and game patches. Ridiculous.
I don't mind achievements and being connected to Live, though. And there's always the chance they might get their fucking shit together.
GFWL never crashed my computer at all, or even crashed the game.
It just fucked around with my save files, that's all. And it still performs like bloatware - Origin is honestly the golden standard compared to GFWL. And it requires me to install a bunch of Windows Live bloatware (related to WLM or something), the shit I normally purge out of my PC when doing a fresh install.
LIVE can stay on the Xbox where it works well and people like it. It needs to GTFO from the PC, where most of us really don't like it.
As for achievements, Steam does them pretty well. But you don't even need an external client for achievements unless you really feel the need to show off to the world that you got those achievements. What's wrong with just having an in-game page to show achievements, separate from other programs? Think something like the "Challenges" screen in COD4. Personally, I don't care for achievements unless they're for things that need you to do something crazily fun and over-the-top, for example chainsawing the tank in L4D2.
