PS3 FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS: LIBERTY CITY EDITION.
Y0j1mb0 | 2:33 PM on 05.02.2008 52 comments




Somehow I don't think this wont be a huge shocker. For the first time in PS3 Friday Night Fights History, our perennial favorite Warhawk, has been shelved for the powerhouse that is GTA IV. Keep in mind this is in response to cries of adding it on our lineup. Now that's not to say that Warhawk wont come back to PS3 FNF, that's really all up to you. If you want it back it shall be. But keep in mind we still have Wednesday Night Warcawks for our usual aerial shenanigans. Now let us look to tonight and see how it's going to go down.



Mr.Sadistic's requires your attendance in his little shop of horror that is called Unreal Tournament 3. Load up your mods, your skins and let's see how many Master Chief's or Old Snakes there going to be for Sadistic to blow away.

The Time to be there will be 8pm EST. Mr.Sadistic will be Hosting. He'll be the one with twenty more kills than you if your good. If your bad..make that 50 more kills than you. May hap you may be the one to challenge and dethrone his winning streak. Hasn't happened yet.. but who knows?



This be my territory. No need to worry with me. I'm not an exceptional killer. But that's why I have others that stand by me on the field of combat that more than make up for my combat inadequacies. Devil dogs like Samit, Ponyboy, Dark Travesty, 311, Naib, Santana Claus, Takeshi, Brainderailment, Corak, Gameboi, Dark Travesty and perhaps Brainderailment finally got off work on the weekend and will grace us with his presence. Don't worry if your game is not up to snuff, join us anyway, as an elite commando unit we hunger for new challenges as well as new recruits.

Yours Truly y0j1mb0 aka k0wb0y-b33b0p will be Hosting. The Time to be there will be 10pm EST. If you're not on my friend's list yet.. send me a friend request as I finally made room on my friend's list. Also put everyone you can from Dtoid on your friend's list as this will guarantee you being invited to get your game on with us.



And finally the debut of GTA IV. Shipero will be hosting this badboy starting at 11pm EST. Just start your GTA IV game and wait for Shipero to call you on his in game celly. Answer your phone ( Duh ), accept his invite and prepare for the mayhem of Cops n Crooks and the Mafiya multiplay. We're gunning for a 16 player match and if we have more, additional hosts will be added.



Additionally Shipero before performing his hosting duties for GTA IV will be lurking in seedy online bars, trying to make a name for himself in ROCK BAND. He may need your help in this endeavour. Another thing, Qraze and some others may be playing the Metal Gear Beta as well. If you choose to roll with him look for him on your friend's list or leave your PSN tag and intentions below.

I know I go through this every PS3 Friday Night Fights and today it's not going to change. If you haven't yet experienced the awesomeness that is Destructoid PS3 Friday Night Fights do yourself a favor and leave your PSN tag and join us. This is the night where we stop talking about games and actually get our games on. Join us.. after all where else are you going to drop a car on my head but in our online tussles??


Also, this wont be the only night where we play GTA IV. Look for an announcement made soon by me regarding a dedicated night for GTA IV.

Going to see Iron Man at 8pm CST, after that I'm up for some GTA if its still going on.

I hope we have a decent amount of people for Cops n' Crooks. 3v3 is pretty cool but imagine 8v8. Also, as a person that prefers playing as the crooks I have to say Fuck tha Police.

I'll be there for GTA IV! After I get off work at 8 I have to set up my mom's internet connection again, but there's no way that it should take three hours.

All I care about is this: Somebody invite me to GTA 4 tonight.
I will most likely be playing all night after 8pm. I haven't tried multiplayer but I'd love to get in on some FNF action, now that I'm unemployed and home for once.

PSN: WhiteBoy0869

Just making sure you guys don't forget me. People do that a lot.

In theory GTA is gonna be in my local store today on the afternoon. So if I am lucky a copy for me will arrive later and I will be able to play with you guys.

You know, I remembered that today sitting at my desk bored as hell at work. It's not as recognizable since I don't see it on the 'toid.

Also, I know Shipero has my PSN tag, but if there are any other hosts, my tag is DynamicSheep.

@wardrox: Wuss.

I won’t be around — I’m going to see Iron Man with a few other NY-area Dtoiders, and frankly, I don’t want to play the multiplayer in GTA IV yet; I’m just too engrossed in the story.

Yeah, don't ask me why I never used that when I signed up here beacuse I will tell you!

I know I one was of the few that had issues when signing up and Neiro had to free up my e-mail address so I could sign up again but I wasn't able to use the original user name.

I'll be late for the GTA portion but if its still going on when I get home, send an invite in game! Would love to get in on the big game cops and crooks. Just discovered it last night and... DAMN! That was the best mode so far.

Yep, running out of people i can safely kick off too. I don't play COD4 anyway, better off adding yojimbo or takeshi.

Well my copy of GTA decided to freeze while saving which I believe corrupted my save file. Now it won't load, I'm out.

I will be there for GTAIV and MGO. psnID is manta89. Also, I'm available for some Rock Band, but my guitar is dead and I'm a terrible singer. Luckily I can play expert drums :)

Just send me a message or add me!

Yep, deleted all my game data, and reinstalled still won't load. Can't find my receipt to return it, so I'm going to drink and watch TV instead.

@shipero: well, is it just GTA that won't load now?
shipero's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/02/2008 21:39

It's loading now but randomly freezing during gameplay. I guess that's an improvement.
Gantz's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/02/2008 21:44

true, that is atleast a step up.
my copy freezes aswell but not very often, and even then its never stayed frozen. it just picks up where it left off after awhile.
shipero's Avatar - Comment posted on 05/02/2008 21:58

And now it's not loading again but Hot Shots Golf is. So I guess I'll play that until I can finally get through to Rockstar Customer Support.

I have other things to play so I'm not too mad but I was really getting into GTA IV so this is really disappointing.

I feel the same way, but my 360 is broken and my wife decided to take advantage and hijack the TV to watch "27 Dresses".

So in short, my night sucked. At least my Mets are winning.

Still, this sucks.

they have that 12 step thing they said might remedy it but i think they're actually clueless to what it is. (disable media server, disable info bar,unplug ethernet cable, blaw blaw delete and disable=they have no idea how to fix it) hope it works out. but i guess i should hold off on purchasing this right now until they remedy it, echochrome will be my next purchase now.

Just got off the phone with a CSR and he said they think it's a problem with the stat server. Disconnect your PS3 from the network and it'll work, just with no online stats and no multiplayer. Trying it out now to see if it'll freeze on me again.

Shipero: That's fine, and I will try it. But it still sucks, and I really don't wanna delete my save file to be able to play online. Hopefully this can be ironed out soon, because I'd like to be able to play online also.

Just did three missions with no hiccups. As soon as I plugged in the ethernet cable again it froze. Now I wish I hadn't deleted my game data before calling rockstar. Oh well...

Sounds like a "couple" of people wanted to play tonight and ended up raping the stats servers? i'm surprised this is flat out keeping the game loading at all.

One of the first things it does is connect to the stat servers.

Anyone who's having troubles signed up for the Rockstar social club? I ask because both Yojimbo and I had not problems with GTA online until we signed up for the service.

i signed up about a week or so but linking my psn and xbox live gamertag does not seem to work as well as updating my profile on there. I've had the game lock up on me about three times total the past few days. it hasn't happened since though.

After the multiplayer match I was in froze and the game wouldn't load up again I signed out of the PSN, kept myself signed out, and I also deleted my most recent save as well which thankfully was very close to my last autosave and its been good so far.

I'm staying away from the multiplayer for this for a while gents. With so many hours of gameplay required for me to finish this I just can't risk losing my save files, that would suck a ton of ass. I'm waiting to see if rockstar announces sometime next week if they are going to address this issue.

MAN I had the SAME issues last night and had to restart my PS3 like 6 times!!!!

GTA would load then just sit there at the loading part telling me it was loading, the music stopped played and my patience level fell.
Finally it loaded into the game and froze TWICE at a certain part in the game....I was fucking pissed. Finally got past the part and it was fine....
