its not too hard, done 100 in about 3.5hours. most annoying thing is the police coming after you for 1 shot of a pistol....... URGH

Are you using a guide? I refuse to believe anyone on the planet has the willpower to hunt round every square inch of the city to find all 200 of them. I'll be doing that for the stunt jumps, but they're good fun to find - got about 30 of them found. Should be able to get most of them, then use a guide for everythig left.

guide all the way for the pigeons, some are in such crazy places you would never EVER just find them. 87 left now....

I used the sniper for the one on the Happiness Statue, after spotting it with a helicopter.

Brucie fans:

Hey you know Brucie's got some chinese symbols tattooed on his back? Well the guy at work who's also chinese saw them and laughed, and said that the tattooist has written 'ladyboy'.

I've tried stabbing them but they're tougher than leather. At one point I got all excited when I spotted one on the ground and realised I ought to be able to run it over (as killing pigeons quietly is among my highest priorities) but as I soon discovered I was actually trying to run over a hand grenade.

I got up the various maps from whattheydonotwantyoutoknow yesterday, but I was soon wishing you were able to annotate the main map, and that the browser had a bookmark function.

I got the combat shotgun very early in the game but like in Resident Evil 4, I prefer the classic wooden stock weapons. ;)

Isn't the combat shotgun in this the one with the wooden stock? Which is odd, as the stock-less one looks meaner, but is labelled as just 'shotgun'.

Whichever, I've just been using the wooden one.

Do the ones you've already got not disappear from the map? I've not tried it but I assumed that would be theonly sensible ay of doing things.

Maybe, it's more that unless I'm doing something stupidly wrong (and let's not say it'll never happen) you can only view those maps on the web browser, so it's a memory test or a case of photographing the screen or something like that. And it's a horrible chore typing in the web address every time.

Maybe the $50m worth of DLC will be the rest of the internet, and IE7.

Just got my freak on with my newest lady - I thought there was only 2

Carmen and Kiki

off lovedot.net you could get in with but I got a positive response from the crap.net blog of a young lady.

Alex. She's a feisty one! Hope she's got some special abilities about her...

Or, you know, they wanted cheating to be a laborious task? Maybe?

I knew about the crap.net one, but can you really only date those two from lovematch? I can't remember for sure, but I thought I was getting negative responses from pretty much all of them, until I was dating the three you mention...then I just stopped getting replies from the others (via the lovematch admin geezer).

Was hoping that if I dumped one, I'd be able to pick another.

But, as I've got the same three you have, I'm going to guess that's it. Strange that would mean there's no girl to date on the

Alderny

island though?

Ooh, I meant to say, one small touch I like about GTA IV is that you no longer have to kill people to get their weapons/money. I think this is new to this version. If it was in San Andreas then I'm a pleb ;)

It allows you to be one step down from a murderous mother fucker, but still have fun beating people up and stealing their shit. I must've spent about 20 minutes walking around Holland twatting people with my bat last night. Going for someone just after they've used a cash point is a nice little earner (now that I have seen before).

Ah, god damnit, there was something else I wanted to say....it was quite interesting too. Arse. (That wasn't it.)

57 pigeons left. maaaaaaaaaaaannnn

Jesus, I've killed 14 and have NO idea where the rest are. I'm one unobservant divvy, as I spend a lot of time on foot, down alleyways and wotnot.

Speaking of which, I tried to get into the Alonquin comedy club last night, looking for a back entrance, or roof access or something...I had the random idea that maybe you could get in there and meet THAT comic and do some secret missions for him, or kill the fucker. But alas, as with most of my adventures, I ended up being killed by the cops before I found out for sure that I was being a lunatic.

It's hardly very effective cheating - a low-res map with vague locations (I memorised a few weapon cache locations and haven't managed to find any of them). Considering it's a built-in part of the game with a reasonable amount of effort put into it, I'd class it as a hint system. But at least part of the problem is the grim experience of using the 360 pad to enter the URL, that's got to be a definite area where the PS3 wins.

Fair, but! Have you tried using a usb keyboard? I used to keep one connected to my 360 at all times, way better for sending messages/etc. And as a general rule, any game which has an on-screen keyboard is required to accept input from a regular keyboard for text input. (on 360, at least)
