Ok. So it’s Day 6 since I got GTA4. So far I finally unlocked all islands, thanks in part to an “ingame” trainer I found on a site that has god mode and all of that good, helpful shit. Less frustration, right?
Wrong. This trainer cannot save it’s damn settings, and is a bitch to call up. I’m having to constantly fight to get the thing open.
Also, driving around is getting boring. I’m starting to go as fast as I can more often, especially on a bike and on those bridges and tunnels. Everytime I see a straight road with no cars infront of me, I slam on the gas pedal.
I’m starting to use boats and helicopters now to get around. And occasionally using the trainer to just teleport to where the mission is.
I’m also trying to go after these “flying rats”, or pigeons. Don’t know if they’re something from the previous GTA titles. But if you kill all 200 of them, you’ll get a Police Helicopter.
Bad thing is, these pigeons are in hard to reach areas of the map. There’s also six of them perched way up ontop of the Statue of Happiness(Statue of Liberty IRL). I tried spawning a police helicopter and fly up there. First time I tried landing on her head, didn’t work. Then I tried using the chopper’s guns to shoot the pigeons. All I did was scare the people down below shitless. Choppers are hard to keep steady.
.
But anyway. This is what is annoying me so far about this game.
First, this thing where it claims you can store your stolen (or spawned) cars by your safehouses. I find this a waste of time, actually. Because I’m often using the car to go to a place, where in some missions I have to get in another car and take it somewhere. And when I go back to where I think I left my car, on foot, it’s gone and I’m stuck with no car…
Why even have safehouses? They’re worthless to me.
I’m also in dire need of a “STFU!! Stop calling me to go somewhere!!” mod. Just something that will stop the “Hey man! Wanna play some pool?” when I’m busy going to a mission waypoint.
I’m always fucking busy with these people that can pay big. I don’t got time for friends. But I also want me time. I enjoy solitude.
For the missions. Most of them, I’m not really getting into the story as I need to. When I first started, I was. But now it’s just.. go to place, do mission, get money, call guy to confirm mission is done, repeat. Why am I the hitman for every single one of these missions? A hired gun. It just gets repetitive and old.
And I’m clueless to how the story is going. Infact I think I fucked up by being allowed to choose these missions, and not following any order as they are done. But this is what happens when you play non-linear games I guess. The story also is based of your choices. If you killed or spared this person or that person.
And another NPC annoyance. Kate. Packie’s sister or something. He doesn’t want me really getting to know her, yet she keeps wanting a date with me. Jailbait anyone? She’s pretty but the guy will kill me if I ever had sex with her.
Anyway, that’s pretty much what’s on my mind right now.
