[Let's Play] Grand Theft Auto IV - How Drive Car Good? (Parts 61/62 - Finished 9/08)

LaCabra

At 0:20 or so in that video he does some kind of spinny-around punch. How do you do that?

Willeth

It's one of the after-counter knockout punches.

LaCabra

I have no idea what that means

GoodKingJayIII

This is fantastic.

Darth_Mogs

Actually, Niko's hat and glasses just disappeared sometime between when he launched out of his car on the way to pick up the truck, and then dropping off the truck. He still had them after the launch, it looked like. Though you -do- lose glasses or hats from being ejected in the game.

Edit: Also, come on you guys with the radio stations. I can't be the only one who really liked Massive B.

You can hit A to dodge, and during the dodge, if you hit X to punch to do a counter. If you continue said combo, there's a unique finisher. (360 controls)

You can counter a punch by ducking with the block button during melee combat. If you then immediately press an attack button, Niko/Johnny/Luis will do a combo that knocks out/kills the guy outright. One of them's a roundhouse kick, one of them's the spin punch thing you saw - there's a whole selection.


So I've picked up Gay Tony again, and holy shit, I just threw three different people off three different things in three different missions. If it ain't broke, I guess?

Part 11 - The video in which everything happens, yet nothing happens. - Featuring Henroid, Klyka, and EvilBadman

Bethryn

I can't help but notice the number of poster girls Mallorie has all over her walls.

CanadianWolverine

Hmm, perhaps she is bisexual? *shrug*

Henroid

To clarify something I say early on about the police circle... watch at 1:06 into the video - the circle moves away from where he is as he's approaching the end.

Henroid

"Thank God you're okay, both of you!" "WE'RE FUCKED."

I have no idea what the fuck, that cop car despawned is the only thing I can think of.

Also, this marks the end of my initial run of guesting and my first Let's Play commentary. In retrospect, I probably should have cracked more jokes instead of living in the fear of talking over the stars (so to speak). Maybe less random GTA4 tidbits, given the nature of the LP.

Klyka

There's no "stars" man. You should have been a bit more vocal,yeah, but when you did say something,it was always funny, so that evens it out.

Nuzak

henroid needs a button to slap klyka whenever he interrupts him

Klyka

I don't know why but Henroid and me ALWAYS talk at the same time.

I don't even MEAN to interrupt him,it just happens.

Nuzak

you share the same sense of comic timing

i might suggest making some sort of cue as to when you are about to speak, like a sharp intake of breath, something like that

Henroid

I let Klyka have the right-of-way, because aside from being a funnier guy he doesn't have the speech impediment I do ('ch' sounds aren't exactly my thing). Plus, crappy mic on this end.

Nuzak

you're just going to let a german walk all over you?

this is why they take all our beach chairs by putting towels on them, henroid

Henroid

First they came for the Henroids. And I said nothing.

Then they left for the Hemroids. And you laughed.


Also,I am not a funnier guy And my mic is a bee hive.

Henroid

Germans aren't known for their humbleness.

Klyka

Well ok, IF IT WASN'T FOR ME YOU WOULD BE NOTHING! I MADE YOU HENROID! I MADE YOU!!!!

Henroid

That's more like it.

Nuzak

Klyka I'm waiting to see this lengthy post titled "Henroid shut the fuck up". I've always wanted to know what was meant by "many independent businessmen".

Truly one of the great mystery's of our time. Any of your considerable German wisdom and insight is appreciated Klyka.

Klyka

I have to be honest I don't even remember what you guys are talking about. I basically just say whatever random stuff comes into my head and shout real loud.

Willeth

God fucking dammit there's a mission in Gay Tony on a rooftop with like fifty fucking guys throwing grenades at me and god damn

You know there's always that one fucking mission in a GTA game where the designers were like 'oh shit, this is far too easy, trap them in a small space and force them to shoot in five different direction at once'?

argh argh ragh rage ragr



it took my parachute away from me so i couldn't even just jump off the building

you talking about the sniper mission against a few guys with assault rifles and one guy with the grenade launcher?

man up, you have GTA's most ridiculously powerful sniper rifle, and grenade launcher guy can't hit for shit

Willeth

I think so. The one that starts out with the birthday cake box on the roof.

I guess I'll come back to it and breeze through it. It's just the initial jump to my doom while frantically cycling through my weapons to get my parachute out was irritating enough, and then I loaded it up again, aimed my RPG at the chopper, and hit the fucking wall directly in front of me.

Usually I'm used to missions taking one, maybe two tries. The fact that this took seven so far is just annoying.

What the fuck, why is Roman blaming Niko for shit Roman did? He would have been beaten by mobsters anyway. In fact, he'd be dead if Niko didn't fight them off.

Adus

He might be beaten up by loan sharks and pushed around by Vlad some more. Loan sharks can't get their money from dead guys, after all.

Niko's arrival has pretty much put them both on a hit list, but given Roman's lifestyle before, you can't exactly argue that he's entirely worse off now.

Also I appreciate Henroid's commentary a lot because he's the guy who hasn't played the game nor seen the videos beforehand, so therefore has the most genuine reactions. I can only basically recite how I reacted. He also remembers to ask questions when I might forget to explain something, helping out people who may be watching and haven't played it.

Anyway, I just recorded some more gameplay. Even after adding 200 more songs to the radio, it's still in love with Scar Symmetry, Gamma Ray and Dark Tranquillity.... and Sirenia.

niko killed vlad

roman had debt problems, sure, but niko got him in a whole heap of bigger shit with the russian mob, not just some two-bit abanian loan sharks

Klyka

Didn't we already talk about how they are actually Albanian APPLE employees?

Nuzak

they are plainly turkish people, explaining why klyka's voice becomes strained and lusty around them

cooljammer00

Maybe it's cause I live here in the real life Liberty City, but I find Mallorie only slightly annoying.

edit: No wait, I thought about it. More annoying.
