Must say the radio is one of my bigger dislikes of the game. But I wasn't too impressed with San Andreas radio either. I'm big into classic rock (which Smashing Pumpkins are not) and loved Vice City's radio. So either I listen to that station or usually nothing. Sometimes the hiphop station if Kanye is on.

i agree, the vice city soundtrack was the best of the series. with vice city, i could listen to any of the stations and enjoy it. here with gta 4, i cant stand the russian, puerto rican, or electric stations. i have it set to radio broker or liberty rock. sometimes switch it to classic rap for a change of pace.

I'm unimpressed with the radio. Mostly because Stevie Nicks always seems to be on when I play LCR. I like Stevie nicks, but come on. VARIETY, motherfucker.

It may be the best in the series, I don't know. I wish there were more tracks on any given station.

I preffered the radio stations on San Andreas and Vice City. Vice City had Slayer, that is all you need to impress me. GTA 4 doesn't have any songs I liked before listening to the radio.

Is it me or does Lazlow's station (Integrity 2.0) have maybe four segments? It seems every time I get in the car I get the same shit. I've noticed maybe 15 minutes worth of different content, not counting commercials.

I was looking forward to Lazlow but it seems that it's a lot shorter than GTA3...

I think Lazlow's station has very few segments. I have heard the same segment three times. Doesn't seem to be very long.

And for some reason, you keep playing the "why don't you like me?????" Card.

I'll ignore Destor, but only because I pity him for having to make up a life.

I never said it was a fucking driving simulator. But compared to the older games, this game has a much more realistic driving engine. Each car has its own physics based on weight/suspension, and ride height, as well as center of gravity. Not to mention damage affects driving. That's more effort into realism than any other game of this type has tried to do in the past.

Which, as I said, may be true, but it doesn't make the driving realistic.

Although with the number of people complaining about the driving, I'm more prone to believe that it really isn't more realistic, and that you're full of shit. But whatever.

Again, I never said it was. I said it was more realistic than before. And it is. The old driving was nowhere near realistic. At all. The engine as it is now, is miles ahead of those old systems. They have taken many steps in order to make driving much closer to how it would really be and feel. While nowhere near how it would be if I really jumped in one of those cars for real and pulled a maneuver like in GTA, it is getting pretty damn close the farther through the series they go.

I'm not trying to say that a video game is the most realistic experience you're going to find, but the driving in this game is fine. If you're going to pull that 'number of people complaining' shit, then I'll go there too. Plenty of the reviews on this game mentioned the driving, and plenty of them agreed that while different it became second nature and they had no problems with it. And I am positive that I'm not the only person on TPWW who agrees with my opinion on driving. Let's just group together all the people who don't like it though and automatically assume that since multiple people share an opinion it must be right. That makes me prone to believe that you're a fucking idiot. But whatever.

The driving is miles ahead of the GTA3 series and I quite enjoy it, but it's still far from perfect. I could name quite a few things wrong with it (the biggest being that it's a bit too slippery) but it more than suffices.

On another topic, I'm getting pretty tired of people (not necessarily here) saying that it should have had this-or-that from the previous games. These people don't realize that GTA4 is just the base game for this generation. It was NEVER meant to have the polish and extras of SA.

If they were using the same engine, yeah, those would be good complaints, but this game, as far as I know, was built from the ground up. Sorry that they didn't spend time on adding multiple-sized Nikos and 1000 different hair styles. They were too busy trying to get the basics worked out with, for example, ragdoll physics (one of the big complaints people had from SA from what I remember) and didn't want to delay the game another year or two to get it to SA standards.

As a standalone game, it's complete. Comparing it to the third game of a different series, at which point they had perfected that gen's hardware, is just silly and unfair. By the end of this gen I'm sure we'll be seeing SA being left in the dust, with the kinks worked out and omitting the mistakes they made in the past (IE: Mandatory eating).

They might have touched it up a little to lessen the complaints, but it is far from being 'trash'.

The other physics in the game are amazing. The Euphoria engine is a modern piece of technological art. Can't wait to see it expanded on even more and used in more products to be honest.
In retrospect, LOL!

I can name a major one. Cars turn while using the brake. Actually, there's two, since cars don't stop very well in this game, either. I wouldn't mind if I was unable to do an appropriate corner if I was going flatout, but everything moves like weighted by a few extra tons when it comes to stopping. Magically, it's as though someone dropped four tons of weight on my front end.

I dunno. I don't expect complete realism, but it would be nice if I could experience some realism when doing anything other than driving in a straight line or crashing.

I'm assuming you absolutely totalled the bike? 'cause I've come off doing chases and managed to get back on and carry on no problem.

The controls are stupid and won't always recognise the bike. The lost seconds can really hurt.

Why? Because you suck at them, or is there a real reason? The occasional flight is no worse, really, than a crippled car bursting into flames.

It's especially bad if the game decides you were going after a moving vehicle or some shit.

Getting back on a bike has never been a problem, getting in the right car when you have caused a crash can be though....a small annoyance though.

I don't give a shit if the driving is realistic or not....it's grand theft auto not gran turismo.
