GTA IV - My first impressions

[Crippler]

I had every intention to finish the single player. But, the missions have gotten more fun as the story is beginning to unfold more.

I totally can't get enough of the crazy taxi driver that Roman sends for you when you use the taxi service. That character is damn awesome & funny. I love him! Always talking about getting some kitty and calling you an effing freeloading bastard and shit. I use the taxi A LOT just to see what he'll say next. Plus, it's a whole lot faster than driving for yourself. Kind of like a teleport system.

I avoided the taxi service for a long time for money reasons. But you are right Crip, that guy is hizlarious. Plus you can get from one end of the city to the other in seconds if you skip over the actual driving portion of the ride for fairly cheep.

I got annoyed with the first cab driver's constant abuse (Mohammad I think his name was) so I shot him in the head after he dropped me off. Now some hispanic dude picks me up when I call. He is just as bad though, so I'm afraid to cap him also out of fear of losing the ability to call a cab.

...you do know you can just steal a car - any car - right?

Ok, while I still don't get the "special" aspect of this game it has gotten a little better. I'm having fun pretending to be a cop and killing all the bad guys and gangs.

We have been rickrolled by Pickle. Nice one!

Roman hooked me up with a free taxi service I thought. I haven't used it yet, but does he try to charge you?

[BronxBomber]

No, he doesn't charge you for it. Thats where some of the great conversation comes in to play with the driver that Crip was talking about. The last time I used it he called me a Freeloader or something because I call his cousin to pick me up. Funny Shit!

This game really does grow on you, I'm with Twilight on this, You find yourself wanting to try just 1 more mission before you call it a night and the next thing you know its 2 hours later and your just driving around stealing shit!!!

I'm about 32% complete and just barely opened up the middle part of the city ( Algonquin ) so now I have that and Bohan to work in also. Pretty Cool.

You can fit a few cars in the yellow zones in front of your safe houses. A bigger area like a garage would be nice though.

[namehater]

i actually meant something that would permanently save your vehicles, if you dont put your car back into the yellow, the next time you load up you dont have it anymore
