The more hours I log with this game, the better it gets. I'm seriously dreading the end at this point, I'm doing missions here and there, but mostly just doing friend activities and hunting down the cars for Stevie. Like has been said a million times, the depth and attention to detail is incredible.

i just unlocked the middle island. I have been taking my time and just exploring the game. The missions are better than the previous ones but I am not doing them as quickly as I have in previous games. The characters are all very interesting even if they are over the top and their stories are somewhat predictable.

Because I killed her too (she was a bitch), and I couldn't read Dwayne's comments afterwards. He either sounded sad or indifferent...
When do I unlock Packie's carbomb perk? That was one of my favorite parts of GTA 2 was setting off car bombs in crowded intersections.

Are all missions available regardless of which order you complete them?
I ask because I had the Bernie icon on my map shortly after meeting him, and got the phone call from him to meet him. However, I ddin't go at that time as I was doing other things. I started another mission and his icon was no longer on the map. I know they come and go, but I have done an additional ten or twenty missions since then, and still no Bernie option.

What's the deal with the pigeons? Is there a clue to where you can find them instead of a list of locations?
Like how Nirnroot in Oblivion was usually near water and made a buzzing sound?

And rumor has it that when you kill the 200 pigeons
Spoiler:
This makes getting all the flags and killing all the templars in Assassin's Creed look like small beans

You can go to an internet café and type www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com to see a map. A friend of mine also printed some sort of google map of their locations. He's up to 92 pigeon kills; personally I think I killed 7 of them because I'm not really looking for them.

or you can go here: http://grandtheftauto.ign.com/maps/1/Liberty-City-Map
On the right hand side of the screen scroll down to the bottom and click the + next to NPC and you will see a sub catagory called pigeons, check mark the box next to it and it will show on the map where they all are. click on each individual pigeon on the map and it will give you a detailed description of where that pigeon is. Good luck!!!!!!1

Check this out...
I was starting my first race (with Stevie's car). I saw a jump ramp that I never saw before, so I decided to do that first. After the jump, the route that I took brought me took the race from the front, not the back. When I approached the first car, I was going to go through them to my spot. Right when I got to the first car, the clock went "..1, GO!!". I was facing the wrong way, and I got my ass kicked.
The second time I tried it, I drove around to the front of the cars again, then carefully backed up until I bumped the first car. Just then, "..1, GO!!!". I had Pole Position, and won the race.
I dunno know if this works for all races, but starting first is a huge help. Also, my apologies if this has already been discussed.

I love a good challenge but when I'm put at a disavantage because of shitty controls and bad gameplay.....I have a huge problem with that.

Speaking of which, does anyone else think that GTA4 is kinda homophobic?
I mean, you got Brucie, the guy who's gay and doesn't know it. You got Bernie, the over the top, flaming stereotype. You have the proprietors of the fancier clothing stores commenting in their bitchy fashion, and just so much more, from the gay dating and it just goes on and on. And it's mostly just used for a cheap laugh.

.. and racist and sexist and stereotypes blacks, jamaicans, italians and every other group... basically yes it is, but it makes fun of everyone... and that is what makes it great

I think this gives us a strong hint as to what we'll see as the "exclusive" DLC on the 360.
