Little Jacob. I have yet to meet Badman, cool I can't wait.

wow, all these posts about the worst controls ever. I had a hard time with them as well, but didn't expect this much talk. Niko controls fine as long as you NEVER use cover. You will also get used to the driving, but it still blows.
Also, is the game mainly just freezing on PS3 owners? I've logged 30+ hours online and offline on my 360 version and never had a single freeze.

Speaking of the phone, when do you get / buy a new one? I've got $59,000 but apparently can't get a cell phone upgrade to save my life. 
I'm taking a break from the story to juggle some women at this point. After the particular Brucie mission, I finally booked two dates through the lovemeet website, one with the Sohogirl (Carmen) and the Lawchick. Carmen's a real self-absorbed bitch and I don't know if I can take her yammering. I do like all the little vocal clues to impressing the girls though. Next time I see Carmen, I'll be driving a nicer car and wearing fancier threads.
My first Lawchick date isn't for a few more days. Is she the one that can

And does she have a specialty you can unlock?

I've read several xbox360 owners dealing with freezing issues?

Since traffic was blocked up because of us, I went to jack another car, but couldn't move much when I got in. So the hooker came over and yanked my ass outta the car and she and the car's owner beat the holy hell outta me..
As for the stuttering and whatever else has been reported...i've been playing for about 5-6 hours total and haven't had a problem yet.
Knock on wood.

I don't think I have even seen a hooker yet. I think I have logged in less than 5 hours of playtime though, and some of that was online. By the way I don't know who was playing yesterday with the freeplay going crazy with the bus, but it wasn't fun. Also, you guys love the N-Word. And I didn't find the antics as funny as much as everyone else was laughing.

This I will agree with. Also, even with brightness up all the way, it's too dark sometimes.

Changing clothes might help?
And does she have a specialty you can unlock?

And I found out where I'll be getting my next cell phone. Turns out I just haven't completed a certain mission for a contact yet.

There are little touches here and there in the game that I love. For example, I walked up to two people on the street who were having a conversation with one another and just crouched down in between them. At first they acknowledged me, asking "what's the deal with this guy?" but then went back to their conversation. I didn't move. Eventually one guy said "that's it, I've had it!" and started attacking me while the other dude ran off screaming. I laughed for five straight minutes.

Are you checking the same system? I know one of the systems has a Amazon tie in so that might have a bigger list. I guess you can buy the full song versions in game or something like that.

aktick - thanks for the invite last night .. jumping out of the copter was a blast, and the car pile in Times Square was fun to do. I'll be on this evening once I get the NAT issue resolved.

I didn't play darts yet, but I got some coffee after the second date, which was also pool!
