After 40 plus hours of game time and with 72% of the game completed, I finally beat my first Grand Theft Auto game ever! I've played every game in the series thus far and Grand Theft Auto 4 is the first game that actually kept my attention long enough to see it through until the end. Without doing a huge review on it, I'll just say that I really enjoyed the story and how it kept me guessing throughout the game. I was somewhat emotionally invested in Niko and I just wanted to see the man catch a break.
Now that I've beaten the game, it's time to make some videos! This video displays an easy way to do Jacob's side missions. I fell in love with the public transportation in the game and used it every chance I got. I've logged probably 400 miles in a taxi alone!
I really should get back to Lost Odyssey before Ninja Gaiden II and Metal Gear Solid 4 come out but this is the life of a gamer. Sometimes we don't finish all the games we start. (EDS we need to start finishing games)
Nice. I never thought to use a cab, for some reason I guess I assumed the package stayed in the shitty car Jacob leaves until you get near the destination.
Congrats on beating the game. I need to get back to work on it so I can do the same, I've never finished a GTA either...
It's always fun to use a cab on LJ's side missions. It's also fun when I'm driving to a waypoint half-way and then getting tired of the drive so I jump out of my car in the middle of traffic and find a taxi.
LOLWUT?! seriously? that's genius! I always figured the car was important, like the stuff was hidden in there, chop shop style. I'm definitely doing this to finish out those missions.
I've cabbed WAY more than I've actually driven! I used cabs for just about everything.

And yeah, we need to drink sometime soon.
The only thing I hate about taking taxis is that it prompts a loading screen, and I've been getting disc read errors so loading screens scare me.
Also, is the special car the last one he gives you?
yeah that's the one. The Rasta SUV. I drove it around for five minutes and lost it.
It's the first GTA game I've ever beaten. The others in the series didn't hold my attention long enough :).
Of course I beat other games, I'm a gamer ;).
