Mmm...
I've only encountered one real problem with GTA IV, wether it's because of my (Temporary untill my other gets fixed) 14" 576i TV, i am unsure.


Basically, some areas in GTA IV are extremely dark even in the Daytime, and some of these areas are VERY mission relevant....

I don't think you know how to use contrast/brightness options.

Enjoy your dark game, alone.

You guys need to implement a spoiler modification for the forum so that you could use the [spoiler] and [/spoiler] tags so people know where a spoiler is (spoilers would be highlighted in black).

Nope, the Brightness + Contrast is Right on my Portable for every other game, don't see why i should change it for the sake of Night-time areas in GTA IV.

Then don't play GTA IV then. Goddamn I don't understand you Klop.

That's almost like saying "I've driven on the left side of the road in every place I've been in so far, why the fuck should I have to drive on the right side of the road now just because it's more convenient. Fuck it I'll walk."

It's Klop. Nobody may understand me, but I'm a slight easier to understand than Klop will ever be.

It's true about the brightness and constrast, by default its not the best, but changing it is a breeze no real problem doing it. Shouldn't hamper the overall game in all honesty.

I've seen where you can put something in [/Spoiler] tags that makes it so you have to click "Show" to view, otherwise it looks like

Yeah, either one works. It'd be nice to have it though if people are going to blurt out spoilers like Klop did lol.

In this thread we look at words and figure it out

Edit: I'll be nice.

Lets say you went to church every day. I rush up one day before you go to church and say "There is no afterlife, and God doesn't exist." this would be a "spoiler". As it spoils the enjoyment of the end-user.

However, some people have bad reactions to spoilers. I.E "I don't believe you lalalalalalalalala" simply because they cannot fathom such a large change in the way they think all at once. As such they reduce themselves to basic defense mechanisms.

hmm.. I'm a good bit through the game and haven't seen this, but hope it comes soon =]

Also what type of stuff in the NZ version is left out? Anything graphic wise? Or just the usual Language and nudity?

...

No.

What does that spoil for you? Nothing you already didn't know. It's blatantly obvious information that the game HAS features, that the game HAS graphics.

If I said, after X mission you unlock X feature, that would be a spoiler.

Ah so if a new game mode in deus ex was released, and I'm one of the first to get it and reveale all secrets, that will be a spoiler?

Not much apparently, just one scene but that's not been confirmed yet. There is a way to get the US uncensored version here but it'd require somebody send it off to classifications (which costs $1400 + $100 per hour of gameplay for any business, but this cost can be wavered for anyone not making anything off of it) and then, once classified (if it meets out standards) that person could tell every fucking store and they could legally sell it (they'd just have to buy the R18 labels).

It's a pain but apparently only one scene is cut. I don't know why they bothered but I can't confirm this.

Does anyone notice the shading looks distorted?

Other than the shading the game is essentially flawless.
