GTA IV Hints & Cheats

I haven’t had much time to update lately, thanks to the addictiveness of GTA IV and the Age of Conan beta beginning. Stay tuned for plenty more info on the 2 big games as much of #Hostile is playing one or the other and all the chit chat seems to resolve around murderous refunds from prostitutes or dodging beheading attacks. Here’s a few hints that have helped me out in Liberty City.

Look for small blue icons on pedestrians, you will find a random interactive stranger occasionally. You’ll meet some interesting people and get some free cash!

Call a cab using LB when on foot and one is in sight. You can sit back and pay for a ride to any of your listed destinations, saving you the trouble of smacking into cops on the way home from a date. While the cabbies aren’t the best drivers, pressing X will make him get there faster. You can also teleport right to your direction but you’ll have to pay double the fare. But then, once you’re bankrolled what’s $30 anyways? I’ve found this invaluable for getting to and from missions as you can also bring a friend along to any of the destinations. Island hopping made easy!

Be careful when taking friends to destinations, if they are injured the ‘date’ is over and they will not respond for a short time. They will eventually contact you for a ride from the hospital. It still counts as a date…sort of.

Eventually you’ll be granted internet access. There’s tons of hilarious things to view such as the Myspace and Craigslist clones but there’s useful stuff too. Visiting www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com at one of the game’s internet cafes will provide you with maps showing the locations of pigeons, weapons, armor, and other assorted goodies.

Go to the theatre and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Right. You will begin to perform the ballet “The Rites of Spring”, when you go outside, a riot will have started! (unconfirmed)

Picking up hookers will still replenish your health and now they have 3 levels of satisfaction to grant. Finding them may be a bit harder than in San Andreas as they are only out at certain times of the night and in certain locations. One of the first batch you’ll encounter is when you arrive at your 2nd Safehouse, on the street corner at night. Just pull up, honk to pick one up and find a dark alley to seal the deal. Don’t forget to kill them once complete to get your money back.

When you hit up the Strip Club, go for a lapdance. Make sure you sit and pay for 3 full lapdances. You’ll see why if you watch this spoiler.
