    Nope. There never is at the beginning. Probably 6 months away at least.

    My son wants this for his 15th B'day...

    How graphic/violent is it? I don't mind the odd swear word...

    Well I listened to N.W.A's Strait Outta Compton about 1,456 times in a row when I was 13 years old. I've never shot anyone, joined a gang, or ever pimped a ho.

    So if you're kid is at all mature, he could handle it. IMO.

    Oh and I agree! Not complaining at all. But for a 15 year old? Hmmm.....

    Besides, I don't need yet another teenager kicking my ass online. Haha!

    Yeah, I'm the exact same way. My TV is setup exactly how I want it. I don't mind adjust the PS3 as it takes two seconds and it worked great.

    Hope it works for you.

    Also, we gotta get some board people online and play!!!


    So I made the changes and it definitely improved the situation. Thanks so much for your help.

    i don't plan on trying the online until I complete much more of the game. It's consuming my life enough as it is! But when I'm ready I'll let you know.

    planetearth227 send me a request.

    Haha... nice. It is incredible. I'm loving the number of Blu-Ray releases lately. Not so happy with Netflix though :(

    He's pretty mature and I don't censor his music tastes at all...


    Still not so sure about this though.

    Yeah, I guess you're right. There is still plenty of time to pimp a ho or two ;)

    I haven't tried the new game yet, but I was playing the older ones around your kids age and it wasn't so bad.

    Maybe you could rent a copy first and then try it out behind his back.

    Changed Display settings back to "limited" w/ super white and helped a lot with seeing in darker places.

    I just got this setup TV/PS3 and need to go through everything. I have a 250gb hard drive for the ps3 so that I can store all my music and some movies to make it more of an all-in-one device.

    Question....how come when I am making whoopy with Michelle, she is yelling "talk to me ohhhh talk to me" but on the videos I have seen it is much more...ummm vulgar? Not that I care so much, but the game throws around "fuck", "asshole", etc....like it's their job
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Yep. On my second date I took her to an Irish pub, at the end it was freakin' hilarious. We get out of the bar and Niko goes "You know, I really don't remember you drinking that much...I must have drank it all..." as he's stumbling around and falls over in a bush. LOL! I ended up falling over like 3 more times before I got to the car. Drove drunk as shit, got back to her place and we ended up doin' it!

    HAHAHA

    u dirty dog u!!! :) I took the gentleman's approach on our second date. We went to the cabaret for a magic show, but she got all pissy when i wanted to leave early. Then we pull up at her house and all i get is a peck......f****n tease!!!!! haha

    mca, that was my first time playing multiplayer. It was awesome when we were playing 1v1! I had no clue where to go in the cop's n crook's matches.
    being so KiND.. tO LEt me RiDe!!!

    Dunno, I haven't tried. I assume you need a van.

    this game would be the ultra shit if you could go into every building/store/etc

    yeah that would be pretty sweet
    It is quite good as it is though.

    I've played a few hours' worth in non-ranked with the friends' list, but have been trying to do more story mode stuff lately.

    I always end up doing 2 "missions" then get into trouble

    haha, I haven't had much trouble with the missions yet, just controls (getting onto ladders is a pain in the ass)
    In MP the Bomb da Base 2 mission type is incredibly fun. As soon as you get the armored truck pulled over it reminds me of "Heat" when Deniro's crew comes out of the bank. Quite fun!

    the missions are good, but I end up roaming around the city running people over, stealing police cars, etc....I will try bomb da base first though.

    I have done all that in free roam, but I haven't stolen a police car in story mode yet (I did have to get one but it was basically served on a platter).
    I do run people over though...and the toll on the bridge...apparently running that is a killable offense ;)

    they dont like when you shoot down one of their choppers either

    it is actually quite easy to get a cop car...I even hotwired one while they were chasing me

    Hotwiring isn't a hard task, nope!
    Just before I went to bed last night I wanted to see if the helo I could barely see would get po'd if I put a few shots at it with a pistol. The thing was really high in the sky, was starting to fade a little bit. 3 stars on 3 shots.

    I snagged a helo and flew it over the prison. I guess the cops didn't like it too much because it was instant 6 stars. I couldn't shake it either, I tried flying over the water to get rid of it but it wouldn't go away. I just ended jumping out of the chopper into the water and trying to swim for it. When it turned dawn they saw me and shot on sight.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    hahaha, I haven't seen the prison yet
    You'd have to shoot them down to get rid of em I guess.
    I haven't found any star pickups to remove wanted levels, or hidden packages, and I didn't (and don't) know if the'yre in the game or not..
    although at this point I'm assuming not.

    There is a time advance for something else but I forget what it is...
    It auto saves after missions without time advance but I wanted to keep my motorcyle.
    Michelle didn't like the cabaret, and didn't like being woken up in the middle of the night (twice). I don't like my chances ;)
    The 3 hour time advance is when you use a Pay n' Spray.
