and preach on Matty cuz those COD 4 kids are the reason Halo got ruined online and it seems like they are doing the same with COD.

It's called absentee parenting - it's easier in the short term to not talk to your kids about this stuff. No chance my kids are getting this until they are old enough to drive themselves to the store in their own car and purchase it (and the console) with their own money.

Am I the only one who gets absolutely furious when you're walking across the street and someone plows their car into you? I swear every time that happens I pull out my gun and unload it in their car. lol.

This really pissed me off... I got 25% of the way through the game. Of course I did a lot of other stuff but that is a little over 10 hours of gameplay for me. Then I guess I did a mission out of order, now it won't let me do ANY missions. I had to completely restart the game. And let me tell you this game is not near as fun 2nd time through.

Really? I haven't heard of anything like that. Do you know what you did wrong?

So everyone's had the game for about 2 weeks now.

How far has everyone gotten in the game? I'm about 30% of the way through the main story. At the part where I have to decide whether to kill Dwayne or Playboy X.. Has anyone gotten to that part and does deciding who you kill change the storyline at all?

Sorry to be late to the party but this game is totally bad ass. Up there with Gears of War, Bioshock, and COD 4 as my favorite 360 games so far.

all the choices like this in the game result in a benefit from one person over the other. in this case playboy gives u money for jobs whereas if u go the dwayne route, u get another safehouse and if u get his respect up past 75% he'll supply u with 2 armed dudes for some of your missions. the girlfriends also have benefits like the lawyer will be able to remove your wanted level and the rich girl will hook u up with clothing discounts. I'm about 60% through the game so far. and other characters will bring up your choices in conversations, especially the next time you have to make a choice between 2 characters because that one definitely effects part of the story.

Im done with it, at the very end you're faced with a decision (I wont go into detail so that I dont ruin it for others) to do a mission or get revenge on someone. When you get to this point save your game so that you can do both endings, they are similar but different at the same time. Its a trip!

Damn! Done already? lol I must be really bad at the game or playing really slow because I'm just coming up on 30% done.

At the part where the Russian kidnap Roman and take him to that warehouse in South Bohan. I killed all the dudes, got up to the 3rd floor and then got blown up. Stupid place was booby trapped or some shit. I get so fucking frustrated with this game sometimes.

lol yeah I had like a week off from work and played it a lot! I'm not 100% complete but I have the main storyline finished. I think all I lack is a few of Brucie's races and a couple assassin missions.

I'm not sure how far I am, not very that's for sure. I just killed Vlade and did that mission where you have to steal a cop car and pull over vans until you find the one with the hot TVs in it.

You're not far at all. I wish I hadn't been able to speed through it but its so addicting.

My problem is I get so distracted with all the side stuff. I need to really focus on getting missions done. And what I really need is a day off from work for an all day GTA marathon.
