My PS3 version has frozen twice in about 20 hours of gameplay. And both times I was tapping the cinematic O button in time to the Nas track on the radio.
Other than this minor annoyance the game is fucking brilliant.
The music included in the game is also fucking brilliant.

I'm such a brainiac. I followed people who just left an ATM and robbed them. Easy money. Then I spent it on hookers and blow.

What still pisses me off is the fact that you can see a completely different set of people walking and cars drinving each time you look in a particular direction.
What made me happy today: 40% into the game I noticed and succesfully eliminated my first flying rat (and just when I wanted to say that I missed hidden packages). I would probably be oblivious of their existance to the very end if not for the red glow I finally noticed when I approached a specimen at night.

It's going to take time before I get used to this PS3 controller. This game is in dire need of mouse aim and wasd movement.
Tried multiplayer today. Where the hell is the Flatiron bulding? Manhattan looks nice, but very compressed, maybe a little too compressed.

Who's up for some GTA Racing or perhaps some Cannonball Run? These are my favorite multiplayer modes, so far. Cops and Criminals also provided a few laughs, if only I could aim a gun. I have access to one of those XBOX headsets, so make sure to say 'hello', faggot. The man at Blockbuster Video was right, this is a lot of fun.

Is anyone else in love with the 1st person view? That's basically all I use now when I'm driving, with the exception of the motorcycles. Once I got used to driving in 1st person, I became a better driver with that view than I am with the standard views.
Does anyone know if there are auto-body shops later in the game that allow you to customize your cars like in San Andreas? I'm only roughly 4-5 missions into the first part of the city, so I haven't seen anything like that yet if it does exist.

To be honest, I hate first-person or hood-views in any game where you drive. It makes me feel less like a car and more like I'm Superman or something, flying down the road head-first at chest height. I would KILL for an in-car cockpit view in this game. It would add so much immersion and be so fun to mow down people and watch them bounce off your hood and windshield. Taking cab rides was cool, being in the backseat looking around at the city go past. I wanted that kind of feel when I drove myself.

Unfortunately you can't tune your cars. I also miss the harrier jet, samurai sword, bicycles, flamethrower, jetpack, and chainsaw, though I guess some of these are just a bit too over-the-top for the new style.

I miss the small WW2 plane from SA. The people in SA would also create havoc on highways, if you pulled over and just stood there. They would brake to see what was going on and then someone slammed into them and so on.
Yeah, cab rides are awesome in this game.

Did he go to the internet cafe and has he bought a suit yet?
I haven't encountered a single bug and I've been playing for more than w week now.
The only nuissance was when I wanted to check the name of a particular song on the radio during a mission and after I finished I got an SMS saying that they couldn't identify the song.

Here's a fairly easy way to get an assault rifle earlier. On the PS3, start the sixaxis tutorial. When you get to the helicopter part, just crash it into the water. It says the tutorial failed and you'll spawn outside the Francis Intl. airport terminal (where the tutorial takes place). Now inspect the cops outside the terminal. Some of them have HK416 assault rifles.
Get a car, park it right next to one of them. Take him out, jump into the car and drive to the safe house or whatever.
I've tried this a couple of times now. You have to get atleast to the helicopter part before you end the tutorial or the cops will be regular officers.
Anyone know if the weapon at the airport is an assault rifle, the one by the strips? Well, the tutorial way you only get three stars. Driving on the strip will get you four.

Well, I found a bug, finally. By a bizzare accident I failed the first mission I got from the Assasin, the one with the bazooka. Now, when I try to replay it I get a briefing and weapons for the next one (combat sniper rifle), but the mission in fact takes me back to the helipad. I don't have the bazooka and it's still unavailable in the weapon shops, so I cannot shoot the helicopter down. It turns around toward the sea soon after take off so I cannot snipe the pilot.
Also, I am useless on a bike.

I've found a couple. An example, during the bank robbery I advanced a bit quickly and Packie and Derrick just stopped. No police around but they didn't move towards the alley. I had to run back and kill earlier police before they would finally move.

I've been using cabs as transport quite alot lately, just saves time. Just hail the cab when you get out and it will wait for you until you get back out or whatever you're doing.
I noticed they sometimes get stuck, they just sit there and the meter is running. As soon as you get out it charges you and then it's only natural to kill the cab driver. It could be the long waypoints screwing things up, like from Hove to the armor in Bohan.
