The OAO Grand Theft Auto IV Thread

[abundant]

Is it now just a rolling spike on six stars?

Six stars nets you three helicopters, tons of cops, tons of SWAT, tons of FBI, and a huge search radius that's nearly impossible to get out of.

....and your dad roaming the streets with a slipper in his hand.

Oh, we might manage a tag team match on teh PS3 yet. >_>

Yeah, I get the feeling there are a few more PS3 players floating about...

We shall call ourselves the Anti-RROD Brigade.

What about be constantly killed by gunfire from Kou J Kouerson...on ice?

[Captain Eo]

Try and reenact a play on the game's version of Broadway. Just can't think of any especially violent one right now.

The Lion King

[Maxx]

So will we be recreating the Grand Theft Autoground sub forum for this?

I’ve tried to avoid making suggestions for the forum since being de-adminned cause I know how difficult it is to keep everybody pleased but in this case I really do think a subforum, albeit temporary, is justified.

Anyone who was around when San An came out will remember the explosion of topics that triggered the creation of the sub-forum. Which was probably the busiest of all for a good few months at least after release.

Keeping the game to one thread would make it absurdly difficult to A: find help for particular missions, B: keep discussion going about more than one subject, C: keep up with the massive amount of posts and most importantly for me D: avoid having the game spoilt for me.

Last time there were topics for most missions, topics about vehicles, easter eggs, adventures into Mt Chiliad and the Back o’ Beyond. I think this (at least in my opinion) being the biggest game release of the year really deserves it.

That’s my little campaign over with. =)

I personally like Zero's idea of three threads for spoilers, not spoilers and multi-player.

[Zaz]

I'm more behind AJ's idea, as if I want help with a mission or whatever, I don't wanna track through a huge thread of potential spoilers just to find this one thing.

[apsham]

GameFAQs.

Taking this suggestion for one moment, is there any reason why the latter two couldn't be combined into one thread?

[King Ellis]

Well as you can see over the past few pages, we've been discussing different games we might make in game. Plus there's arranging game sessions, discussing upcoming/previous sessions etc etc.

I would say go one further and make an Xbox multiplayer thread and a different one for the PS3.

[Summers]

I think GTA is really going to need it's own forum for a while. Everyone will be playing it, everyone will be geeking out and have things to say.

[Kaney]

I would say go one further and make an Xbox multiplayer thread and a different one for the PS3.

Doesn't most of the 360 multiplayer discussion occurr in the Megathread through, as opposed to the individual game threads? I dunno, it just seems sort of gratuitous when GTA isn't even a primarily multiplayer game, like Halo is yet when was the last post made in it's thread?

It's all just discussion at this stage though, before someone gets up in arms

[9 to 5]

I wouldn't know, I don't go in there.

[stokeriño]

I would say go one further and make an Xbox multiplayer thread and a different one for the PS3.

In which case, those would seem well enough covered by the XBox Megathread and the (potentially upgraded) PS3 Online Names/Megathread.

That scenario would leave two dedicated GTAIV threads (spoilers and non-spoilers), with multiplayer being absorbed into Megathreads of the respective consoles.

I think a sub-forum is the best idea, the coin-op will just be too cluttered otherwise and while having 3 basic threads is one solution, it'll also mean having to trawl through scores of pages to find what you want. The game is going to be massive, I think a sub-forum is justified. Threads can be marked with spoilers if they'll contain them.

[Renegade]

The game definitely needs a sub-forum.

I checked my Play order status today about GTA 4:
