Well, if you want to die a lot turn it off. If you want to die like an idiot, leave it on. It’s kind of quirky sometimes depending on the situation. It’ll lock on a guy down the hall way while there some asshole standing next to you with a shot gun shoved up your ass.
However, I think auto aim is good for throwing handgrenades. I’ve fucked myself a lot on manual because I didn’t know how Niko was going to throw the damn thing.

I havent run into any hangups (sans like two or three missions that I had to repeat like once because the guy I was chasing got away)… until the last fucking mission. Which I cannot beat.
Sometimes I’ve had him unintentionally just drop the fucking thing… right at his feet for no reason. How bullshit is that
Don’t you feel like the coyote from the road runner cartoon when you do that shit?
You: Wait, did I just fucking drop a greande by my feet? No, I’m pretty sure I threw it over there. OH GOD NO!!!
At the “oh god no” part, you try to haul ass but it’s way to late and even if it wasn’t, being in cover stance had you to stuck to move anyway. Now poor Niko’s got soul vision.

Auto aim is awesome for the reg game.
Online multiplayer, though… nah.
It’s not that I didn’t want to finish it, it’s that the helicopter controls in this game are fucking terrible.
Want to know how realistic this fucking game is? My favorite thing to drive in the game are motorcycles, and everytime I see one I crash into them with my car to stop whoever is driving and steal one…
I was driving on the freeway in real life a few days ago, and I saw a dude on the motorcycle, AND I INSTINCTIVELY STARTING DRIVING TOWARDS HIS LANE…ready to fucking hit him. The I realized wtf I was doing and LOL’d…i was like holy shit.
I could just be demented.
Was he banned for this post?
I wish you could carry the taunts from multiplayer into single player.I love shoving people to the concrete and shooting them in the leg,standing over them with a “WHAT’S CRACKING MY MAN?!”
I know.I’m messed up.
I have Niko all Resevoir dog’d out with the suit and sunglasses too.I miss buying property too since i have all this cash leftover.
he’s not banned, but perhaps he should give GTA a rest for awhile.
I’m going to beat it this afternoon and I wanted to point something out that has really made this game head and shoulders above others; the facial animation. It’s fucking AMAZING.
I’ve never seen a video game character actually get across what they were thinking without speaking like a real actor. One scene at the end where Niko gets threatened… he looks at the guy like he’s going to rip his head off. I’ve NEVER seen facial animation this realistic in a game and its one of the reasons I find the story to be so entertaining, and why I like these characters. You actually can SEE Niko being tormented by his choices.
some stuff from the last mission and Niko’s expressions
[details=Spoiler]Like when Pegorino threatens Niko, Niko looks at him like he’s going to rip the guy’s head off.
When you finally get a hold of Brevic or whatever his name is and the way Niko looks when he screams “You ruined me!”
And after Roman is shot, when Niko is killing the assassin, he has his absolute dead and lost look on his face. I’ve NEVER seen that in a game. It’s fucking amazing. [/details]
I know speaking about it makes it seem like it’s a small thing but when you’re in the game, playing it, making these crazy decisions and you can actually SEE through body language and facial expressions what it’s doing to the character it makes them seem much more real. It really is amazing. Especially since I’m playing other games along with this and the biggest thing that’s sticking out in the other games is how wooden the characters look compared to Niko.
Shit’s impressive as fuck and adds a layer of immersion I haven’t gotten out of a game before.
i have to agree…
when niko first met badman and he was babbling on an on that “wtf?..” look was priceless…
So, that helicopter mission with Jacob seems is hard. I tried it like 10 times in a row but I still fucked it up. Is there some sort of trick to it?
lol
Dude, I think my total play time is like 5-6 hours. But I’ve been doing the motorcycle thing since the OG GTA’s…they’ve always been my favorite ride…:looney:
Has anyone tried to couple a tractor and trailer together? Also has anyone been able to lift the forks and bring them down on the forklift? I was able to get the tractor under the trailer but that damned thing does not couple. I guess it doesn’t work /sigh
You have to keep steady at all times, you also have to give Jacob three shots while keeping it steady. When you keep it steady Jacob always misses the first two shots and lands the third.
My main issue is keeping up with it. I have gotten Jacob to fire but he misses all the time. If I could get closer I am sure I would hit it.
Thats why I can’t fucking beat the last mission :annoy::annoy:
ALL the vehicle controls are terrible. I actually found the helicopters to be okay, it’s cars I’m not too keen on…
I’ve been looking up so many artists thanks to GTAIV. I can’t get enough of Electro-Choc right now. 
i did that a longgggg time ago when i played vice city for an entire weekend. it was 7am on a sunday morning and i was dropping someone off and i missed my turn so instead going for a u-turn at the next intersection, i spun the wheel hard making a really wide turn in the middle of the intersection and corrected myself into the right street. it was front wheel drive so it wasnt really a fishtail, but it made my passenger say “holy shit what do you think youre doing?” i just looked at him and said “i dont know why i did that. its too early in the morning.”
unlike some people, this game isnt getting me to want to fuck people over.
