A mandatory -- unless you live in the Stone Age and don’t have the Internet (how are you reading this?) -- title update for Grand Theft Auto IV has passed Microsoft certification and is available right meow. Get ready for the beautiful "update" prompt-screen for the next time you boot up the title.
It’s a simple patch that addresses two key issues present in the title’s multiplayer component: invisible characters and a--holes cheaters. Apparently, there was some sort of bug that allowed people to become Kevin Bacon during matches. The cheat code thing, we weren’t even aware of. Rockstar doesn’t elaborate on its official blog, but it's stated that somehow, people managed to use a cheat code exploit in the component.
If those two things got you down, it’s time to pick up that chin and head back in. "The Ballad of Gay Tony" is hitting quite soon, so sharpen those skills.

- I don´t like the driving, I suck at games
- Fix the multiplayer, I lose all the time
- I haven´t played this game yet, too bad it came out 12 months ago
- I´m waiting for the PC version, cause it´s obviously better
- I like complaining about games I haven´t even touched
- I complain about a game I played for roughly 30 minutes.
- It sucks cause it´s not out on my console
- It has to suck because it´s a non PC game
etc.
Seriously, cut it out. It really drives me nuts sometimes. I wish there was an option to just disable the display of comments.

- I hate everyone complaining, so I´m going to complain about it.
- I don´t like comments, but I choose to read them.

Seriously? Its the internets and we all know that the magic of the wonderweb turns us into racists and arseholes but pop on over to gametrailers and have a wee read at the comments on any post. Back now? Good I'am willing to accept cold hard cash as a apology.
San Andreas was the most boring game I have ever wasted money on. And I own Wii Music.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
People complaining means less bacon.
