I doubt it'll happen, but I really wish they (and many other developers) realized that the analog sticks are in fact, analog. But no, push the stick a bit and your character walks, push it all the way and your character... still walks. Want to run? Press this other button or tap it like an idiot! Really, how hard is it to grasp? Especially when they use it correctly in their own multiplayer in the same game. .

I believe they explained it that its supposed to help you walk around more in the singleplayer and apreciate the city.

Well I am sure that happened about one minute per hour of gameplay (with most of that being trying not to scare the hot dog vender or conserving stamina.)

I'm trying to downgrade my GIAIV from 1.0.7 to 1.0.4 in order to use ENBSeries shaders, and what's happening is when I launch the game, it's like the game is being drawn at 3000x2000 res, so the menu once the game is loaded is out of my monitors area, stopping me from navigating to the Display part of Options and changing it.

Anyone got any ideas?

Well here is how to get there from the menu if you have the episodes.

Press enter to choose gtaiv. Right, enter, escape, right three times, enter, right a few times, space to apply.

It is an easter egg in one of the multiplayer maps. They are pretty much the exact plans that appear in the trailer though.

Thanks, but it seems the problem was weirder than that, 'cos even at stupid high or low res, I couldn't see the sids/top of the screen. It was like the screen was 400 pixles higher and to the left than the screen should have been. I guess I screwed up the 1.0.4 patch or something.

It's actually surprisingly fun to slow play GTAIV and RDR. It makes the tense story moments have a lot more impact when you're not running around town like a douche the whole time. Definitely not for everyone, but you do get to appreciate how the world behaves when you leave it alone a lot more.

Yeah, but I do that in games where there isn't a separate run button. Just tilt the stick slightly. MGS4 and Peace Walker for instance use it to great effect with sneaking. Having a face button for running/sprinting also means you lose control of the camera every time you run, which caused some really awkward moments in both GTAIV and RDR.

I'm pretty sure Rockstar gives no fucks about it because they know they can release anything about the game at any time they want and people will go nuts for it. I might be wrong but they hardly ever release new info or media during events like E3 but instead do it in their own time.

I can play it pretty comfortably on a 2007 MBP so I'm sure it'll run on yours. There is an issue some people -- myself included, are having which is that the game stutters for about half a second every five seconds for some reason, mostly in outdoor areas. I've e-mailed Rockstar support about it but that didn't help at all.

It plays fine otherwise, and if you have a PS3 controller the Mac will support it with some fiddling and SA is completely playable with it. It's great.

Slightly tilting the left stick gets old for me after like the first five minutes. These are long freakin' games if you're walking!

I have a late 2011 MBP and the one on steam seems to run great, though I have only played for a few minutes. Haven't tried any shader tomfoolery.

Yes. Yes. yes yes.

And I liked walking. GTAIV was probably the first openworld game I played that is detailed enough that walking is worthwhile. Everywhere there is something or someone to look at.

How long is it supposed to take in TLaD to get the mission where Ray tries to kill you for stealing the diamond money? I've completed every mission so far, stolen half of the bikes for Angus, completed two of Stubb's mini-missions and I've done about 30 Gang Wars, but nothing. Grand Theft Wiki says that it'll automatically start after a few in-game days, but it's been about a week or so in-game.

You dont have to do any of that stuff. Just do the main missions and make sure that your phone isn't on silent. Some missions won't activate if it is.

That's strange. I've done all of the missions so far, but I haven't received the text message yet. Pretty sure my phone isn't on silent because I've been getting several messages from Stubbs about his mini-missions, along with Jim occasionally telling me to bring Clay and Terry along for missions.

The PC version always takes about six months. PC and PS3 version of the episodes took over a year, though that was probably from Microsoft paying so much to get them exclusive. Though, the other PC releases were screwed by exclusivity as well. GTA3 took a while, then Sony bought exclusive rights to Vice City so the PC version took forever on that as well. As long as no one is an rear end in a top hat, perhaps the PC version will come out soon after the console. Though it doesn't matter, I'll have to get it on 360 anyway, my computer isn't good enough to even run 4.

Just finished San Andreas with 23 hours of playtime. Stayed pretty fun and interesting the whole way through. Can't believe I waited this long to beat it. In terms of the ending I was pretty sad to see Big Smoke was too typed up on crack to come around, even when he was dying. I was hoping he would have still been the same lovable guy before the betrayal scene. That and CJ ended up losing Ryder and other old friends. On the flipside though, he gained a bit of real estate, friends, and responsibilities. Not to mention that Grove Street had returned to the glory days again.

But yeah, great game. Only regret being that I waited so long to beat it.
