Do you stick with one character until their is no more missions?, or do you pick randomly do missions from each?.

I think GTA game's main story is hard to keep up with, because it is all over the place but I understand mainly that Niko is just trying to get money and will do anything.

The only time the story felt epic or personal was when you kill Vlad and he gives Roman you that speech exposing his true reasons for coming to LC. Then the only other time I saw that main story continue story continue was when one of the two loaners showed up in LC in that Dimetri mission, where Jacob helps you out.

Other that part all I seen is Niko being like any other GTA character, doing missions for the cash and seeing the problems of others and stories of others, The most shocking story from that side of things, was Elizabeta's situation and seeing Manny get killed off, I didn't see that coming or the fact the easy girl Michelle is a freaking Agent for the government.

I'm tending to stick to the side missions, as I do';t want to lose out on side missions that drop off when you get past certain main missions.

Also, I'd suggest using [ Spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] tags (no spaces), as then everybody can talk in here.

I try to do the side missions too. It's not always easy to recognize a side mission though. Some of them have ended up advancing the plot!

i stick to doing missions for characters i like. for example brucie is a hilarious character to me, so i do as many missions as i can for him.

Why was another GTA4 thread created about gameplay when there is already a dedicated GTA4 gameplay thread at the top of the stickies?

Thanks for letting me know about major plots of the game that I didn't get to yet. Son of a gun.

I guess you missed the "spoilers" part of the thread title, huh? :rolleyes:

Yes the thread title has "SPOILERS" in the text but Gslide and others should also use the spoiler tags that hide the text and need to by highlighted to be read. Then this way it is the readers fault for reading the spoilers.

PEOPLE, USE THE SPOILER TAGS WHEN POSTING! It's not hard. :p
Also shouldn't this be moved to the sticky thread Grand Theft Auto IV Gameplay Discussion Thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1024248)??

do you honestly think gslide would think to post anything in a pre-existing thread? or did you forget that everything he posts is very important so it needs it's own thread...

Damn! You're right. I forgot. :D

How do you approach GTAIV missions?

Usually on foot, but sometimes in a car or on a bike.

lol, that's what I thought he meant. I thought this thread was going to be about where to stand and what weapons to use in the missions.

I like to go in from the East in the morning, with the sun at my back :p

i just randomly pick missions. i hate when you have a choice of whether or not to kill someone. or worse *spoiler* the choice between killing dwayne and playboy x. i killed dwayne just because i thought x would have bigger paying missions. i should have killed playboy just because he's a bit of a douche. oh well *end spoiler*

There is a spoiler tag for a reason. Use it.
