The GTA 4 CHATTER Thread

[Polarbert]

I've been looking at the AV forum thread about pre-orders and there seems to be a lot of bitter people on there who keep saying that nobody will get the copy until Tuesday. They were saying that it wouldn't come on a Saturday and then a guy who used to be a postie said that they do do special deliveries on Saturdays.

I don't know. I don't mind waiting for Tuesday, but it says its been posted and I have a tracking number, so you'd have thought it was actually going to be on its way. Maybe not though.

I wish that feed was still up, then I wouldn't be half as bitter about Paul getting the game early.

From the videos already online, it looks like there is a reply facility due to the views from a helicopter/street level etc.

Thats just the cinematic camera view.

HMV are sending them using special delivery 9am, which I take it guarentees delivery before 9? Thats good if so as I've got to juggle a few things to ensure that my copy doesn't end up at the sorting office.

AND, I'm supposed to be going out on the lash tomorrow night so may not be able to play the damned thing.

Don't anyone dare send me an invite tonight when I'll be on COD. I'll find you, smack in the face with a fish, then nick your copy of GTA.

Just had a look on Royal Mail and the special delivery is guarenteed next day before 9am. Must be costing HMV a fortune but good on them.


Strangely Brown - blow me!

Just phoned our local Tesco, they say will be on sale at 00.01, have loads in stock, but cannot reserve one. What you guys reckon, saunter up after 12 and just pick one up, or go 30 mins before to be sure?

You're too late, should have got the tent & sleeping bag out weeks ago.

Just spoke to the tesco superstore near me, they have FOUR copies available at midnight tonight. Bearing in mind this is the largest tesco for many, many miles around I am getting a little bit worried that I'm not just going to be able to waltz in to a shop and pick a copy up....

The stress is clearly getting to me now.

I'm sure they are just messing you about. It wouldn't be profitable to just get 4 copies in.

My HMV/Royal Mail tracking number isn't working still. I better have it tomorrow.

Me too mate. Hoomv will have hell to pay if it doesn't arrive before 9 tomorrow.

Well that, or either I just wait for it to arrive another day. Its only a game.

[Polarbert]

There were around 20 people online on xbox before, now there are only 3. I wonder how many will be online in half an hour.

[Polarbert]

NASCAR is on channel 5 at the moment. Brilliant racing.

So glad I didn't go to the shops at this hour. I'd hate to be labelled with all of them.

You bunch of sad bds.

[Polarbert]

Had to go to the sorting office but i got my copy. Great job by hoomv!

I took my 360 and GTA4 into work yesterday (like who wouldn't??)...naturally it was for scientific reasons only. Here is a link to some clips of B3NKY eye movements as he played GTA4.

Calibration was slightly off...but not bad for first attempt.

Thats pretty cool. What do you have to do to someones eye to get it to track like that?

After peep show I'll be on. Well and before peep show as well.

Never had so much fun as last night. Omega nicked my bright green Lambo, and when I ran after him he drove off just as I was about to open the door and yank him out.


Then Paul came onlong on his scooter and started trying to shoot me while driving around in circles, while I was running around in circles trying to shoot him. With him occasionally bumping into me.

It was hilarious. All this while trying to do a bloody race.

[Polarbert]

Great banter with me and Gorvid this morning.

We were in a helicopter and he told me to land on a skyscraper. So I did. I get out to have a look around. While I'm admiring the views, he takes off in the bloody thing and leaves me!

He teases me for a while then lands to pick me up. At which point I blow the thing up with a rocket launcher.

He respawns not far from and comes to the street by the building I'm on the top of. I decide it would be a great idea to jump off.

I must have fallen less than a car length from Gorvid! It was hilarious.

[Polarbert]

Oh and how could I forget the HALF AN HOUR I evaded around 6 players trying to get me.

[Polarbert]

Really? How many Gs is it worth?
