Ok, so Grand Theft Auto 4 appears<\/em> to be an awesome game. However, I shouldn’t be the one you ask right now. I played for a few hours the day I got it, the game ended up freezing as I was just walking along so I shut it down. Today I decide to play for awhile more – got through a few more ‘dates’ and quit\/saved. Went to start it up awhile ago and it hung on “Loading – First Date” Ummm… ok… let’s ask Google. Found the suggesting to delete saved games and game data… did all that. So basically started all over. It’s worse now. I can drop my cousin off at his place and start in the apartment… I haven’t been able to do more than that. It’s frozen probably 4 times in the last hour at least. Grrrr. Doesn’t matter if I’m walking or driving or what. I’m annoyed.<\/p>\n

Guess I’m back to War Hawk or Rock Band until they fix this. Speaking of Rock Band, Zero<\/em> showed up on the store today. There goes another $1.99 …. Rock.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 Seems the trick is to disable the internet connection on the PS3 – then GTA plays just fine.\u00c2\u00a0 Kinda puts a crimp in the multiplayer part of the game.
\nRemember when game devs didn’t have the luxury of built in hards and internet connected consoles?\u00c2\u00a0 They actually had to get the game right the first time.\u00c2\u00a0 Now it’s “get it out now, patch it later”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
