GTA4 on Steam

Post by Phaidra »

Grand Theft Auto 4 comes out on Steam tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone knows what it will be like? Only Steam game I own is CSS and It's awesome. I haven't played it online on any of the consoles so I have no idea how they will have it setup.

Will it be a sort of free for all with multiple players running round the server shooting each other etc? I want to buy it but a heads up on what it will be like would be good first.

GTA4 multiplayer is fun for a few hours. I think GTA SA-MP user created mod was better than rockstar's multiplayer.
After you beat the game you most likely wont touch.

Theres several different modes for it. Not to mention im sure there will be a 3rd party multi like SAMP. But idk if i would get steam, as some mods for GTASA wont work for steam or D2D versions. Like the SAMP mod wont work. I dont see how anyone would quit once you've finished the game, theres still a lot of fun for it, like all other GTA games.

SAMP is a mod for the PC version of GTA:SA. Let you play multiplayer on it

RRoD noessss!!! haha...There is a repair agreement thingy for RRoD's. If they are before a certain date the repair is free :) I had it twice but since my xbox is old both were free ^_^

Even if you don't like the MP, the singleplayer is still totally worth it ;)

A while ago they rebuilt the inside and they don't get RRODs anymore. People that get them are getting refurbished xboxs from microsoft with the bad hardware and the cycle continues =/ They don't give out the new ones that don't RROD.

There's a couple guides on the internet that help you learn how to read the barcode stuff to tell which chipset, when, and where the xbox was made. The newest chipset is much improved.
