@colonelkilgore Interested to hear if it holds up for you. Your PS3 farewell tour would certainly not be complete without it. So you don’t have the platinum for GTAIV yet?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution no I only got my first plat in 2017 and even then didn’t seriously start going after them until 2020. I have gone back to get the GTAV platinum and plan on getting III’s, Vice City’s and San Andreas’ via the Definitive Editions but had always thought IV’s was no longer achievable. Turns out it is but it’s now extremely buggy due to the aged and sparsely populated online and very difficult (PSN Profiles have it as an 8/10 difficulty and PlayStation Trophies as a 10).
Whether my exploits for the plat are successful or not though, I’m just gonna enjoy revisiting a virtual place in which I spent a lot of time and haven’t been back to in around fifteen years. The sprawling immigrant tale will also be enough to get me through any concerns I have over the gameplay (though I might end up being pleasantly surprised in that regard).
Oh… and the radio stations, I can’t wait to hear all the songs and chat radio skits again. I’m gonna be on nostalgia overload for sure.
@Yousef- Just letting you know — you’re illegally parked there. 😜
@colonelkilgore I’ll be rooting for you. I can’t remember the last time you played something that you weren’t able to platinum, or at least feel confident that you’ll eventually go back and platinum.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution every plat brings its own anxieties in all honesty but yeah, this is the first one in a while which has felt like there are quite so many obstacles in the way. It’ll be a fun pursuit either way though.
@Yousef- i'm wondering if they added it in later updates, as I didn't remember it, and they have added some stuff for sure, even changed the handbrake button in place of a new duck and hide animation which confused the hell out of me in a race.
I am going to try and shoot cars in the fuel tank to see if they leak at some point though 😁 as that would be a cool way to end some moments. If not, the jerry can awaits all my sadistic needs 💀
When it seems you're out of luck.

Well I managed about 6 hours of GTA IV today… or yesterday actually 😅 and so far so awesome! My feelings around the driving and gunplay remain… they even feel worse than I remember tbh but the overall package more than makes up for it. There’s just something about those R* open-worlds that feel… more… real… hyper-real than those from other devs.
Made some half-decent progress without having my pedal-to-the-metal. Still on the first island and a half but done some side stuff too. Also got my first online mp trophy… regardless of the difficulties I had starting a private match with a friend. No joy with that but ended up in a death match with a random and got the viral trophy Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie for killing someone, who has killed someone, who has killed someone - ad nauseam… who way back when killed a Rockstar dev. Hopefully I’ll have more luck getting into a private match tomorrow to begin the hard boosting grind 🤞.
@Yousef-Liberty Rock Radio was my go to yesterday… unless I managed to stumble upon Pruit Igoe and Prophecies by Philip Glass on The Journey. I’ll give most of them a decent go though over the course of my playthrough.
well just finished Remember me again great little game. its a perfect encapsulation of what i loved about the ps3 generation not too long about 8-10 hours with a new world and good story something different. hey its not perfect but its flaws didn't detract from what it did.
I even went back and got the platinum missed a bunch of collectables and a couple of combat trophies and completed it on the hardest difficulty which isnt actually too bad if you've played it through once and got alot of the upgrades
@colonelkilgore So, not to belabor the prior discussion but I’m curious, is the movement and gunplay of GTA4 similar in feel to RDR2? We discussed at great length the narrative style of the two series so we can leave that, but as far as gameplay - I remember reading some opinions about RDR2’s combat and character control and some people said that the stiffness of movement and the awkwardness of controls is kind of a Rockstar thing and also feels that way in the GTA games. In RDR2 it seemed to fit the style of the game and the deliberate nature of a slow, methodical, Western adventure. The way Arthur would mosey about and meticulously animate didn’t bother me like it did some players. It took a little getting accustomed to, but it was still fun in my experience.
If the character (Niko, I think he’s called?) handles like Arthur, does it detract from the flow or seem dissonant with the run-n-gun style of the genre?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Niko is a fast f*cker in comparison to Arthur. It's more like RDR with John Marston than RDR2. In GTA 5 there is a more ambling walking style that does feel a little weird in a GTA game. And I loved the slower pace of RDR2 as slow walking up to bandits you're going to destroy is just badass and fits a western so well.
@colonelkilgore weird, I always really liked the gunplay in GTA 4 for some reason, and it took me ages to get used to GTA 5. GTA 4 was like headshots on tap with that little tweak you can apply to aims 🤯

@Th3solution yeah the stiffness and somewhat jankiness of the protagonist is an R* thing tbh, they use certain animations which have to complete in regards to the inertia that is imposed on the character at any one time. I understand why they do it but it does cause it all to feel a bit… yeah janky to me at least. They do refine the way their characters move with each game but there are definitely similarities between each of their games. I personally find it all controls far better in V than IV but I seem to be in the minority on that.
With all this said though, I’m still having a ball tbh.
So I made some decent progress on the GTAIV multiplayer today. It took basically my whole day but I got a win in each mp race (which is only 50% of the total races, as I’ll have to do them all again in the GTA Race class too). Would’ve rathered progressing the single player campaign in terms of enjoyment but was a chill time.
@colonelkilgore Wow, it's cool that you were even able to find people who are still playing multiplayer. But I'm guessing there weren't a lot of them?
I just got done setting up my PS3 and 360. It was a stressful couple of days as my PS3 wouldn't turn on. It overheated years ago so this isn't surprising to me but I've managed to get it working the past few years. I was so close to giving up but it finally works now, thankfully. After I'm done with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, I'm considering starting up Sly Cooper 3 on PS3. Could use a chill 3D platformer now.
@LtSarge luckily PS3 seems to be the new hotness rn for some reason, so there’s a surprising amount of activity on most of the games I’ve played on it recently.

Started playing Sly 3 today. It's been so many years since I last played Sly 2 but the third game still feels very similar. I played it for a few hours and it's been a blast, I'm really enjoying the game so far. Another thing that I'm glad about is that Sly 3 apparently doesn't have collectibles like in the previous games. This is fantastic as I don't really feel like collecting stuff right now. I only want to do the missions, which are super fun.
@LtSarge nice, enjoy! The whole sly trilogy is so good, it’s hard to pick which of the three is “the best” . Is it your first time playing the third game?
