Wow. The online gaming is GREAT!

I just got completely owned on free play by some pink guy on a bike that kept chasing me!

I don't.

Dan has a PS3 and GTAIV was his late birthday present from me.
He spent most of this evening sleeping, so I sat around on the online freeplay for ages.

I agree with Chaz about the car physics. I'm all over the place! The brakes don't seem to work as they should.

Still though, the brakes seem a lot less responsive than previous games.

I concur, although it does sometimes make for some impressive accidental stunts that you just know you couldn't do a second time if you tried :lol:

Rockstar have announced they are to release a "toned down" versionof GTA IV, so more people will be able to play it, instead of over 18s only at present.

The new version is still in beta testing at the minute, but a few clips have been leaked.

Click here to see the exclusive footage.

I'm under 17 and have access to the game. Bloody, bloody video game murder hasn't affected me in the slightest <D

My Mum was fine about buying me GTA3, VC and SA though. I don't think she realised how extreme the game really was, but then that speaks for most parents that go and buy their kids the game. I remember my friends 5yr old cousin "picking up hoes" ...He actually said that! Hahaha. Not a clue what a ho was though.

Some people are affected, especially really young kids (Fred's age :razz:) who're really influenced by everything the see and hear. But I played the GTA3 series a lot and I've never murdered anyone or started pimping or doing drug runs, and I've never known anyone try to emulate one of the games in any way.

The fact that most parents buy the game for their kids shows that they don't believe it's influential to their child: either that or they just give in to the whinging :)

I think parents buy the game without realising how graphic it is.

Kids as young as 12 are getting their parents to buy the game for them. I bet 9 out of 10 of these parents haven't got a clue what they've just bought their kid. It's an 18 for a reason.
