Well I'm doing 6 weeks of school, going from a 4th class to a 3rd class in my field. Going from 12 hour days to 6 hour days 6 days a week left me with some free time so I picked up GTA 4 last week.. and oh boy... it's fun as hell.

I was really annoyed with the cell phone at first, the txt was impossible to read from a distance (even with a HD tv) but I just got home and did a mission to get a new cell, and sweet.

The amount of things you can do is the game is ridiculous. Walking into a random comedy club and watching Ricky Gervais do stand up was a huge geek out moment for me.

I thought this game was awesome until I played Saint's Row 2.

Now I wonder why they didn't just make it as awesome as Saint's Row 2.

After watching Zero Punctuations year-end awards show (language NSFW) I've been thinking I might have to pick up Saint's Row 2.

Hmm GTA 4 in my opinion is probably the best 360 game I've ever played. I'll definitely have to pick up Saint Row 2 and try it out.

Well the new DLC is out today, anyone getting it? I for one aren't as I didn't enjoy GTA IV as much as I would have liked.

It is 1600 MSP, so like $23CDN or something.

*Sort of a spoiler*

By the way, there is full frontal (male) nudity in it. I watched a clip from GameTrailers.

Thanks for the reminder, downloading it now. Luckily I had just enough points to buy this.

I love my ps3, but I'm definitely jealous of this dlc. I would buy it in an instant if I could. Looking forward to impressions.

Just picked it up today at Best Buy. It's weird, the screen's all grainy, the city doesn't look near as nice as it does in GTA IV. I guess they were trying to give the game more of a grungy feel, being that it centers around bikers.

There's some awesome guns in the game though that you dont have in the original GTA IV, plus riding bikes are waaaaay easier in this one(probably to persuade you to stay on one, being a biker & all), its really hard to get bucked off one. Again, not even close to GTA IV, but for $20 its pretty cool.

You can turn the grainy picture by going to Start>Options>Display , then I forget what you turn off. I think that is what you do anyway, apparently it looks like GTA IV (A lot better).

The thing about the DLC is I wish all the stuff from it was transferable to GTA IV, like the awesome bike physics, weapons, etc. Because the bike physics are more like GTA San Andreas ones, which were unrealistic, but fun, unlike the GTA IV physics which are real, and boring.

Anyone happen to know why in multiplayer I can't select Auto-aim on or off? Auto-aim is always set to Allow for me. Other hosts can change it to Disallow.
