I love video games like all of you and have been playing ever since I could hold a controller. Don't try to classify me as one type of gamer and I'm not going to brag about how hardxcore I am or any other terms that we tend to use. I'm 19 and from a small town in Michigan called Coloma. My friends and I are either LANing or playing online all the time so you're bound to run into one of us eventually. Besides Video games, I love music. There's not enough room to list all of the bands I listen to so I wont waste your time listing all of them so I'll just letcha know a few of them. these include (no specific order) Death From Above 1979, Queens Of The Stone Age, Interpol, Minus The Bear, Joy Division and Chevelle. I also read on occasion, my favorites include The Ultimate Zombie Survival Guide, The Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men and Catch-22

Here's some of my Favorite Games:

The Legend of Zelda Series
The Resident Evil Series
Mario series
Halo
Half-Life
Call of Duty
Counter-Strike
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Gitaroo Man

GTA IV's Newest Superhero/Psychopath: Ratman!?
Samson | 8:49 AM on 05.01.2008 8 comments


Maybe you've heard talk about it.
Mainly that's all anyone has been hearing about it.

So I come home after school yesterday, of course and I go to play GTA IV. My older bro comes in and tells me that one of his friends last night was playing GTA IV When his car broke down. He decided to take a back alley on his search for a new ride. As he was walking down there, apparently a creature that looked like as a human rat. It had a rat head, and rat body, but shaped like a person, like Splinter From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It leapt out and killed him. He was caught with no time to react and was killed instantly, only left to think....."WTF?" He is supposedly incredibly fast and tough to kill as well. He was spotted around the area where you begin the game. A specific location mentioned was Algonquin. He's been supposedly spotted both in the single player and online multiplayer

Of course I thought to myself "yeah, and Big foot was in San Andreas and Star Craft Ghost is really going to be released." And "Pics or it didn't happen." Albeit, it sure does sound like a load of BS. There's no denying that

But then I considered, "What if this time, this is just more than Forum myths?"
From the sound of this, there's a chance that it's legit. Sure a little farfetched, but who knows?


Apparently There's talk of him on the radio and new in Liberty City. About some Psycho killer on the loose who targets people mainly at night. Although, I've never actually heard any mention of him in the game thus far, So I cannot support this claim.
And apparently the Guide book says something about being "It's a superhero that runs around killing criminals. Think Batman, but at the lower end of the gene pool." I'll have to give the Guide Book a quick skim first chance I get.

Now we know that Rockstar always finds some extras to throw in there.
I'm sure you've already heard talk about a chained up heart in the statue of Happiness.
But still, people should have pics to back up their claims.
I'm sure the forums will be yammering about this in the upcoming days. Some stories, true maybe, but then all the false claims to accompany it.

I've heard some skeptical stories such as him picking up a car that someone was in with a hooker until the hooker fell out, then he picked her up and said "Mina" and ran off into the night, or that he says something like "If you tell anyone I'll F***ing kill you!!!!!" Along with threatening Michelle's life. There's plenty more storys as in, following someone down an alley, then he dissapears and Ratman pops out, perhaps that someone being Ratman. Or following rats down an alley and he'll show up

Mhm, sure...I call shenanigans.
Well, if any of you happen to stumble upon this or any proof of this, Would you kindly tell me and expose the truth?
I still say Pics or it didn't happen

Oh God, here we go.

It would be cool if it were real, though.

that would be cool, and way harder to find than Bigfoot ever would have been in SA.

I mean. Wow, you know.

It woudl definitely be cool if its real and actually find-able.

If you go on the internet (in the game), one of the news sites has a report of a jogger being attacked and dismembered in a park.

I have yet to hear or see any reports on "Ratman" but I'm sure anything is possible this time around. Now I'm going to have to look for him. I wonder if finding and killing him is part of the 100% completion stat.
