[PS3] GTA IV multiplayer thread [PS3]

sure but I probably won't be able to get online until 12am east.
I was wondering though, around 4:35 into the video did that fire hydrent send you flying. It looked so damn funny

How ya doing, buddy?

I've sent friend requests to all those listed in the thread at this time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, the fire hydrant nailed me. I loled :P

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'll finally be able to start the game today (and get a good six or seven hours in), so I'm still up for getting together tonight at 9PM EST if everyone else is. I know everyone probably can't make it, but hopefully we can get a decent turnout.

Anyway, I've added everyone here to my Friends List, so I hope to see you guys later tonight!

I was speaking idiomatically.

The servers were a bit whacked out right now but hopefully it'll be fine by 9. I'll definitely be up for it, hopefully we'll have a few people

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Damn, looks like it's a bust for me. I've tried going online three times now, and every time the game freezes up. I may keep trying a bit longer, but it seems hopeless for now.

FELIPE NO

oh man that sucks. I'm betting your on 60gb ps3, I wish rockstar would have paid more attention on the ps3 side. It's like they finished the game, checked if it started up and left it as is.

"The 9+ pages on the Playstation Forums recommend that Playstation3 owners delete the game data from the harddrive and then reinstall the game, but according to Rockstar support, this isn’t a guarenteed solution."

as it says, its not garunteed so if that doesn't work I'm guessing you'd have to wait for a patch that fixes it if thats possible.

How ya doing, buddy?

I should probably mention that yeah, I'm doin the GTA thang. Name's already up in the PSN ID thread, but for redundancy's sake: CobaltKatze

Send me an invite if you want to bust heads Or race cars. Steal money. Whatever.

Also, a request: All PS3 users must get headsets! It's really silly to be in GTA games where maybe one or two people have voice chat going on and the rest can't hear anything that's said. Makes for pretty much nonexistent teamwork if there's teams involved.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yep, I have a 60gb. I guess it wouldn't hurt to give this solution a try, but it's not gonna mess up my save data, right? I know they're different files saved in different areas, but I just want to make sure.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

yeah I was thinking the same thing. I would save my save data in a usb stick before I try it just in case.

so true about the headset thing. When some people do have a headset sometimes they don't say anything.
I have a ps2 headset that came with kareoke revolution but the earpiece broke so i had to set it up so that I hear all the chat through the tv speakers. Even tho the ps3 detects the headset I dunno if anyone can hear me, I only tried once and no one responded.
I'll probably pick up a cheap 20 dollar headset tomorrow especially since my ps3 library is growing with online games.

Holy shit, I tried it out and it actually worked! I have some free time now, so I guess I'll give the multiplayer a whirl. I still want to try and set up something more major though, maybe try again next Saturday or something.

And yeah, I agree about the headsets. It fucking sucks when just one person has a headset, and he's a jackass to boot. When I was playing Warhawk a couple of weeks back, it was only me and this one other guy who had a headset, and all he did was berate everyone on his team. As counterproductive as he was being, it probably would have been even worse if I started chewing him out, so I just bit my tongue for that match. I usually do use it though, and I'll be using for GTA right now (I use a Bluetooth headset by the way, though I also have a usb PS2 headset as well).

Anyway, on to some multiplayer GTA!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

awesome, I'm glad it worked. I would have been both frustrated and pissed if that would have happened to me.
Anyways I just got a new headset which I still need to try out so if anyone wants to play later then send an invite. Actually, If anyone ever see's me online at all at any time then just send an invite if ya ever feel like playing online since I get a lil bored of going straight through the missions sometimes

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hey guys. I'm gonna have a lot more free time for the next 3 or so weeks. I'll try to get in on some online matches with you guys. I got my old PS2 Logitec headset. It worked with Resistance so I'm sure it should be fine with this.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hey guys, I'm gonna be on in about an hour, so maybe we can try and get something together.

FELIPE NO

Bam, I have this. designdraft is the name.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
