Grand Theft Auto IV – Review
Back in 2001, the world experienced a new type of game. It’s a game that couldn’t be categorized (as there was nothing similar) at the time. It was a game that was a blend of everything that was out now, with one new addition, freedom to do whatever you want, how you want, when you want, that came to be known as Grand Theft Auto III, or GTA 3 for short. GTA III created the “sandbox” genre, such a genre in which the key gameplay is “freedom”. GTA games allowed you to play as an antihero in fictional city based on real life, with unprecedented freedom, humor on mocking the American culture of that specific era, radio station boasting terrific soundtracks, humorous DJs, memorable downright weird companions, lots of weapons; and of course to hi-jack vehicles to get where you want as fast as possible. GTA III spawned 2 main sequels, Vice City and San Andreas. Both improved on what made GTA III tick and expanded in both depth and quality, although the core gameplay and engine remained the same, it was not a “true sequel”.
However, it was not until April 29th of 2008, we got a true sequel to the GTA III, appropriately titled Grand Theft Auto IV. The game may not look like another revolution of the series like GTA III, but rather an evolution. But as soon as you put your foot down on Liberty City (no relation to the Liberty City of the first game), you’ll know ”things have changed”.
There are just so many stuff you can talk about in GTA IV, you can’t list them all, and simply you can’t. I’ll try my best to be as detailed as possible. Believe me, the world of Liberty City is unlike anything you’ve ever seen in a videogame.
You put on the boots of Niko Bellic, Eastern European former military personnel who wants to escape his horrific past, and what better way to start a new life than America? After all his cousin Roman sent countless letters and emails of how he made it big. Niko upon the request of his cousin arrived in Liberty City, only to find out that his cousin was in serious debt, the sports car he promised was a mere taxi cab and girls he was living around were just posters. Welcome to Liberty City, where dreams are shattered.
The previous games in the entry didn’t feature any original captivating storyline, heck. The storyline of GTA was always been the weak link of the otherwise, a strong franchise; and because of this, many people didn’t even finish the story missions, also add the fact that how awful the shooting mechanics were and how you were punished when you died. Thankfully all those problems are fixed and improved so much that, now it’s literally became the part of the franchise’s story.
The game borrows some of the best elements of third person shooters in the market, specifically Gears of War. The game employs cover system and over the shoulder view while shooting, unlike Gears of War. The game has also a new semi-auto aim function. Holding down the L2/Left Trigger button goes to auto-aim mode, and slowly moving the right analog stick you can target specific parts of the body, like the legs or going for the head. Holding the L2/Left Trigger half-way engages the in manual shooting, good for targeting explosive barrels and tires. Previous GTAs had been criticized for the lack of shooting from car, well that is fixed in this installment as well. While the game is still all about grand theft auto, stealing vehicles this time around is riskier than ever before, as police are almost everywhere and now you need to kick out drivers who are “unwilling” to lend you their vehicle and sometimes requiring you to break the glass of cars which are parked and hot wiring it to start, during which anything can happen. That’s why it’s sometimes best to go by the taxi, new to the franchise. You can whistle for the taxi using the L1/Left Bumper and go anywhere designated in your GPS by you. While you are in the Taxi, you can tell the driver to switch the tunes and look out of the window and enjoy the living breathing world of Liberty City, you can tell him to put the pedal to the medal or you can pay him double the money for quick transport (teleport), it comes especially handy when you want to retry your missions.
GTA IV is a much more realistic than the previous GTAs, while it still has some arcade flavor to it, but it’s definitely darker than before. The cars physics are much more realistic with real weight to them, the way Niko walks and places one of his feet on a higher level is very realistic, the animation never seams to break, mostly due to the fact that, other than the cut scenes, nothing is pre-canned animation. The game uses a new type of simulated animation technology called Euphoria, which is unexplainable until you see it with your own eyes, because of this; no two animations or “accidents” are the same.
Now integral part of game play is your cell phone, it’s the central hub for communication. Not only you can receive phone calls as before, but you can call your contacts as well, you can for example, ask your girlfriend on a date, call your cousin for a good game of bowling or get drunk (which is really entertaining and fun, especially to drive) or you can call an underground arms dealer for a car loaded with weapons. Its best, though not necessary to keep good relationship with your friends or girlfriend(s), as they often come up with their own perks. Oh yeah, just so you are wondering, it does not include any hot coffee scenes. 😉
The story is far more human this time, unlike previous GTAs, its not but coming to the town and taking over, it’s all about survival. And the way Niko behaves and talks, he will instantly be a very likeable character surrounded by a full cast of interesting characters, like his cousin Roman.
As the game takes place in modern times, so with it comes things which we use everyday, like the internet. Yes, GTA IV has its very own interweb, with surprising debt to it, from blogs, emails to online dating service. There are also usable TVs in the game with good amount of programming, some of them are really funny and amazing, you’d wish they aired it real-life. Like the previous GTAs, the radio stations are back with new DJs. The soundtrack in the radios covers almost all the modern genres, so there is bound to be something you’ll like, although the quality of selection is still not on par with Vice City, it had to be said, then again, its mostly to blame the modern era for its diverse genre. There is also a load of cool min-games, which are almost as good as games on their own right, like bowling, darts, pool. There is even live comedy shows you can attend or watch in the TV.
The graphics is vastly improved with much detailed textures, new realistic lighting that produces great shadows and changes realistically as the day progresses and night falls. When you fly high, the city is indistinguishable from New York City. The character models and animation are as detailed as ever. From an artistic point of view, the developers at Rockstar North did an amazing job to capture the look and feel of New York City. Although the game still have problems streaming content, and pop-ups are still there unfortunately, but it does little to detract from the experience.
The sound is on par with graphics. Backed up by solid soundtrack, the game is also superb in the other areas as well. Just stand your character for a minute, close your eyes, and just with the sound, you can picture what is going around you, provided you have a 5.1 sound system of course.
The game has also immense replayability. So, once you finish the game, you can go for the 100% completion mark, acquiring you to do things like killing all 200 pigeons/ “flying rats”, making all the unique jumps, etc. You can also play the story again, as it never gets old and try to take different paths in the game to see what is the outcome (there is a degree of decision making in the game, like who to kill or not, though not as deep as Mass Effect). Or a very popular practice is to just mindlessly cause chaos with your RPG.
Or you can hop onto the multiplayer. There are loads of modes to choose from and most of them are pretty unique and fun. While the game has some multiplayer issues when launched on the PS3 version, the latest patch as of writing for PS3 (1.02) fixes most of them, and I personally didn’t experience any problems until then. You can also check various stats at Rockstar online stat tracking website, called Rockstar social club, here you can also preview the track marked in the game and buy digital download from Amazon.
Both the PS3 and 360 versions are amazing, this can hardly be said as a lazy port for PS3 (Xbox 360 was the lead platform for the game). Ironically, in some cases the PS3 version tops because of its Initial 8 min installation prior to starting he game for the first time. Because of this, less data have to be streamed from the optical disc, and so when you are driving at high-speed, the pop-up though still there, is not a big issue on the PS3 compared to the 360 version, as on some of the 360s with older Disc Drives, the read speed cannot always keep up. And as a result, you’ll sometimes find a car or a wall suddenly pop in before you can react. However, most new 360 models don’t have much of a difference. Also from Fall, 360 owners can enjoy the benefits of the PS3 owners when it gets the ability to install games to the HDD.
Well there you have it, it’s the longest review I’ve ever done, by a long shot, but this game deserves it. I still left out a lot of details about the game, this game is epic huge. You will soon realize that, all the small things which happen in the world of GTA IV merges, and form a much bigger picture which really pulls you in the game. There is simply no immersive game than GTA IV, but perhaps GTA V will change it all over again.

What do yo guys think? Fit for N4G.com ? lol
Jul 21st, 2008 at 3:02 pm
@ Adnan
Wow, this article is huge? Did you write it all by yourself? 😉
If this was submitted to N4G, it surely would have made the frontpage. But, sigh, it won’t now because GTA IV reviews are all over the internet.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 3:15 pm
@ Adnan
You’ve ruined it bro. Now I have to play GTA IV or I can’t live.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Too bad the thumbbail image is incorrect. Could you fix it? Yeah I wrote it all of it, I submitted my Gamespot Review.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Why dont you post it in N4G, ways of promoting the site? People will notice that we BD people are not as dumb as we look.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 3:49 pm
@ Adnan
I already made a bad name for BD gamers by submitting useless crap, which I thought would interest N4G users. It’s been taken over by fanboys and instantly reports will be made about how lame, stupid, fanboyish or inaccurate articles are.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Thats because you submitted a 360 only article. This is for all of em. Hmm.. I will try to lure some of my internet friends here.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 4:03 pm
@ Adnan
Well said. It’s odd though. Anyway, I’ve made some minor editos to your article, especially the last part. And it would be wonderful if you could “bait” your friends to this site and force them to subscribe. That would be good. 😉
Jul 21st, 2008 at 4:11 pm
No problem.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
@ Adnan
Nice review man, you must have put a lot of hard work into making this.
Jul 21st, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Yeah, thanks.
Jul 22nd, 2008 at 2:52 pm
The whole reason the PS3 had to start installing games was due to slow read times from its optical disk (DVD in 360 is faster then BR in PS3) in order to approach acceptable levels. Of course, this has been one of the many factors leading to HD based gaming in consoles.
On the Hot Coffee statement, that’s only really an issue stateside, where troubled adults think they have to force others (GTA is NOT a kids game; yet, it is held to that standard) to conform to their values.
Jul 22nd, 2008 at 2:57 pm
@ Yert- Yeah, and the HDD installation totally eliminates the problem, I even installed a 10,000RPM 180 GB HDD for a good measure, lol.
Jul 31st, 2008 at 7:00 am
@adnan
“The previous games in the entry didn’t feature any original captivating storyline, heck. The storyline of GTA was always been the weak link of the otherwise, a strong franchise; and because of this, many people didn’t even finish the story missions,”
i really disagree with you regarding this statement.i loved GTA vice city’s story and same for sanandreas and still love them.and the point you said that many players didnt finish storyline missions of those two games is not because they didnt like the story but because some gamers(casual) just loved to do other stuff like finding hidden jumps etc and yes these games dont force players to finish the storyline missions as is the case with other FPS games.thats another great thing about these GTA games.and thats why many gamers didnt finish the story missions but not because they hated the story of those games.
Jul 31st, 2008 at 9:25 am
@ shamim- Tommy Vercetti was a very one dimensional character, he got orders and got them done. And eventually he was all into “take over the town” mission. Same goes to CJ, except for a LA hoodie to work for the govt, fly harrier, and setp up business all over San Andreas, is even more far fetched. Both of em are rags to riches, epic lame compared to the “Survival” theme of IV.
Besides its just my verdict, it doesn’t make any difference as long as you like the games.
Jul 31st, 2008 at 3:12 pm
@ Adnan
I agree and even though I didn’t play GTA IV yet, but I think it’s storyline will be far realistic than VIce City and San Andreas.
Jul 31st, 2008 at 5:44 pm
@adnan, lol. the point you make i understand.but i read some reviews on gamespots/gamefaqs.the writers of them not all but quite a few number of them said exactly the same thing about niko that he has to kill somebody in most of the GTA4’s 90+ missions and so GTA4’s missions lack varity. so missions become boring and all of them liked Sanandres and Vice city’s strange/hilarius whatever you call them missions.
and after all games are for fun .right?so who cares whether its far fetched or not.thats why we all like games like Halo/fear/halflife. 😀
but i agree with you on this point that Vice city radio is the best of all the GTA games. 😉
Jul 31st, 2008 at 8:13 pm
I like gta 3’s story the most. The player just betrays with others and take over Liberty city, but still he was just following orders and not talking too much.
GTA 4 is great with graphics, sound, gameplay and everything you need in a next gen game. In the final chapter, you have choices to make and that triggers to a new feature of the next gta games, the ability to make decisions on every mission.
Gta chronology says the next version of gta 4 will be in Vice city, now lets see what comes next?
Aug 1st, 2008 at 1:55 am
@Tamal Anwar
Yeah the next one is rumored to return to vice city. Personally, I want the original story trend to continue like they did with GTA IV. I was hoping for a GTA taking place in Texas, at one point u have to cross the border to Mexico, diverging border patrols and all that. It will surely put a more interesting pace to it and create alot of tension. And Mexico will provide a new different background for GTA, surviving there will be much harder than any American cities. Also with the character your down to earth American countryside guy, hoping to make big and ends up in all mess and hence needs to escape the border, probably framed or something.
Aug 1st, 2008 at 9:58 am
i am very happy to know that next GTA will be in Vicecity.the colourful neon city i love that. 😀
i think one GTA will be in England(London?who knows) in the future.maybe or maybe not. 😉
Aug 2nd, 2008 at 12:07 am
The real GTA story had 3 cities, Liberty city, Vice city and San andreas. In GTA 1 and GTA 2, there was all of them. Then came GTA 3 based on LC, and then VC and san andreas.
Also there came Liberty city stories and Vice city stories and the up coming san andreas stories for PSP. So it is proved that the next GTA is on Vice city and its not a rumor, its the chronology.
Yes I thought years back about san andreas at the same way Adnan did. If there would a new blend of gangwars like Latino or English turf war then we would have new fun.
I’m getting borred dealing with the same old ‘YO-MA MAN’ hip hop gangsters and Yakuja culture in GTA
@Mushfiq I like GTA and so I liked this article, stumbled it!
Aug 2nd, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I always love GTA but San Andreas Sucked thou. I wish I had a Higher-end PC or a console to play the game.
Hey, you can include Trailers also. I download trailers from http://www.gametrailers.com/ and then upload it to youtube and then put it on my website. Don no if entrecard has video upload or not.

Nov 29th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
from my opinion gta iv is far better than any other gta game till now the best was sanandreas but in graphics, reality ,cars ,missions ,sounds gta iv is the best but system requirements are more than even sanandreas still
Nov 30th, 2009 at 10:50 am
@rudraaksh
Agreed. However, GTA IV for PC is highly unoptimized, so, even if u have a fast PC, the game will still run slowly, AFAIK.

can i play gta4 with dual core processor,1.6 ghz graphics card and 1 gb ram
Mar 7th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
@faisal
it will seriously lag with lower than 7fps most times.I have a friend who has Dual Core 1.8GHz 2GB RAM and Nvidia 8400GS 512MB and he tried to play GTA IV on Windows XP and got so laggy performance means almost unplayable and he uninstalled the game in result.I prefer you not to play the game unless you patch the game with compaitablity mods and some other mods which reduces game graphics to increase fps to make it playable.
Mar 8th, 2010 at 1:39 am
@faisal
you can play it,but it will run too slowly….
& most of the times u won’t be able to play smoothly for the lag… 👿
even upgrading ur pc won’t fix the problem properly,cus one of my friend has a very good pc including the Intel Core i7 proccessor & a very good current gen ATI gfx card(HD Series)but still he is having trouble to run the game smoothly…. 😡
So,I would recommend everyone to play it on a console if possible….
Don’t know about the ps3 version,but xbox 360 version is good,
it runs smoothly & i’m currently playing it(& enjoying it also !) 😀
Mar 26th, 2010 at 1:10 am
I’ll say GTA 4 is not smart enough in efficient visual performance. It’s graphics is not something beyond out imagination but it demand a GPU beyond our effrontery. I’m using 9600 GT. Being a midrange card it allow me to have good performance even in Hi Graphics of Crysis. But GTA 4 fail to run smoothly even in low setting.
Mar 26th, 2010 at 2:32 am
@MAFIUL.COM
U r right,bro.thats why i’m recommending everyone to play it on a console if possible…
Mar 27th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Last year I stopped playing GTA4 after playing just a hour! Because, it was not performing smoothly (Even in low setting). Though my CPU is Core 2 Quad and GPU is XFX 9600GT. But after reading this review I feel like playing it again. So, I reinstall it last night 🙂 But you guys know what..? It took 3 hours to install……
Mar 27th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
@MAFIUL.COM
Blame your graphics card for that.Geforce 9600GT is a entry level graphics card so you cant expect it to play resource intensive games like GTA4.I played the game on high graphics with smooth frame rates around 30fps.You could check my GTA4 video which i have uploaded before shows how it runs on my pc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmJuu5KtVJE
Mar 27th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
@Rabbi
whats ur gfx card,bro?
Mar 27th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
But XFX 9600GT run Crysis on DX10 nd very high graphics configuration.
Mar 27th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
@sng425
XFX ATI Radeon 4870 HD 1GB GDDR5 XXX Edition
Mar 27th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
@MAFIUL.COM
thats good to hear.I always play games on 1920X1080.But the fps depends on the resolution also.
Mar 27th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
@MAFIUL.COM
& you also need at least Geforce 9800 for smooth gameplay of GTA 4.And we must all remember GTA 4 is a resouce hungry bad port game for pc and for that reason you cant get smooth gameplay using 9600gt but you get good performance on crysis using same graphics card.
I have completed GTA 4 on pc way back 🙂 .
You could do a couple of things to improve GTA 4 performance.
1) Update your nvidia graphics drivers to latest version
2) Patch GTA 4 to latest version
Mar 27th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
@MAFIUL.COM
“But XFX 9600GT run Crysis on DX10 nd very high graphics configuration.”
Yeah,it can run Crysis on DX10 with very high graphics configuration.
But still it’s a entry level graphics card…
& incase,if u have forgotten,let me remind u that,Crysis was released a while ago…& It doesn’t need those super graphics card like the one Rabbi has…
Crysis 2 requires these gfx cards though,which is in development right now & is set to release on next year maybe…
Mar 27th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
@Rabbi
“the fps depends on the resolution also.”
yeah,u r right,bro. 🙂
& btw…u’ve got a very good & up-to date gfx card which can run almost every game that are currenlty releasing right now…
I’m also planning to buy one of those ATI Radeon 5XXX HD series gfx card within the next coming month…
Anyway,have fun playing “Metro 2033” & let me know how was ur experience with it… 🙂
Mar 27th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
@sng425
I recommend you XFX ATI Radeon 5770 1GB GDDR5 priced @14500tk in BCS Computer City now.You should also upgrade the processor or ram just in case cause they cap the grahx.
i will tell you about my experience once i finish the game.
Thanks
Mar 27th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
“Prison Break” (PC) is out @ Dhaka. But I’m still need to checkout rating of this game before buying.
Mar 28th, 2010 at 12:26 am
@Rabbi
“You should also upgrade the processor or ram just in case cause they cap the grahx.”
Yeah,offcourse.I’m also planning to upgrade my processor to Core i7…
“I recommend you XFX ATI Radeon 5770 1GB GDDR5 priced @14500tk in BCS Computer City now.”
Ok,i’ll lookout for it…
I hope it’s available in ctg…
otherwise i’ll have to go to dhaka for it or import it from dhaka to ctg…
anyway,thanks for the info…
Mar 28th, 2010 at 12:30 am
@MAFIUL.COM
““Prison Break” (PC) is out @ Dhaka. But I’m still need to checkout rating of this game before buying.”
I plan to download it(Prison Break) for the xbox 360 or pc(not sure right now !) right after BBC 2…
Maybe it’s an adventure type of game…
I don’t play this type of games very much…
but this one looks good & promising…
& looks kind of a “Heavy Rain” type of game…if i’m not wrong.
I hope it turns out to be good… 😛
Mar 28th, 2010 at 12:45 am
@sng425: But this game (Prison Break) might end up with scoring 5 out of 10! There is really a possibility bro!
Mar 28th, 2010 at 1:25 am
@MAFIUL.COM
But why?have u played the game yet?u mentioned above that u didn’t bought the game yet,which means u haven’t played it yet.Then how could u be so sure that it will score 5 out of 10?
Mar 28th, 2010 at 1:49 am
@sng425: bcz some website already rate it like tht!
Mar 28th, 2010 at 3:24 am
@MAFIUL.COM
“bcz some website already rate it like tht!”
Oh,i see… 🙂
Do you think it is good?
Mar 28th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
@sng425
Completed “Metro 2033” its very good and it has in total of 7 chapters and many missions in each chapters its not short imo.The story is fantastic hoped i would have read the novel.The shooting is fun and the graphics are excellent 🙂 .It would have been better in directx11 and 3d could be used but dont have those hardware 🙁 .The environments are the only negative thing i could find in the game but i am optimistic about it and you will surely enjoy the game if you liked Fallout 3.I loved every minute of Fallout 3.Hope u will surely enjoy it in ur XBOX 360 :mrgreen:.
Mar 28th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
@Rabbi
Yeah,Thanks for sharing ur thoughts about the game with us…. 🙂
U know that there are a lot of good games are releasing right now… 😛
So,Couldn’t even decide which one to download first… 🙄
I hope to download it soon (Can’t Download right now already downloading a lot of games)!
Mar 28th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
@Rabbi
Ok,an off-topic question,bro… 🙂
i heard that u r using the Qubee’s 512 kbps sky package…
& now my question is,what exactly speed do u get when downloading?
Do u get 64 KB per sec all the time,bro?
I heard Qubee gives their users dedicated bandwidth…
If it is true,then i’m going to get Qubee as soon as their available in ctg…
Mar 28th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
@sng425
yeah the speed is almost dedicated (few ups and downs not to mention).The speed stays around (64-71)KB/sec almost all the time for me.There are some issues also but it happens rarely.Like server down and half speed.But its happens 2/100 times.I have a cousin who uses Banglalion and the service is identical to what i get from Qubee.I get 67KB/sec almost all the time if i use IDM.
Mar 28th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
@sng425
oh another thing.If you use windows xp you will get less speed than i mentioned.I used it on a windows xp machine and the speed was around 60KB/sec but in windows 7 the speed i get is stated above.
Mar 28th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
@Rabbi
“I get 67KB/sec almost all the time if i use IDM.”
Wow ! thats just great ! 🙂
Now i’ll just have to wait for Qubee to launch in Ctg…
Mar 28th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
@Rabbi
oh,i forgot to mention,I also use Windows 7 as an OS…
So,there won’t be any download speed problem like u had in win xp…
& i also use IDM to download…
Mar 28th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
@Rabbi: Hey bro.. i wonder if u can tell me the ending of Mero 2033 in very short (few lines). Does the world become green again?
Mar 28th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
@Rabbi: I don understand how OS influence net speed!

the main objective was to place something on the top of the building so to target and launch the three missiles to the dark ones and had a different puzzle kind of battle with the main dark one when the missile was being co-ordinated @ the dark ones.After i complete the final battle/puzzle the missile hits the dark ones territory and make them extinct.The humans gets back the control of their world with the help of “Artyom”

“wht does ur id mean actually? wht is S, N & G? And why is it 425?”
First of all,I need to ask you 2 questions….
1st,why are you asking this??
2nd,why does your name ends up with a “.COM”
when I first saw it,i thought it’s just a domain name…
But I was wrong…(Later on,I realized that it’s ur name !) 😈
Anyway,My id doesn’t mean such thing..it’s just a codename that i used to register on those console hacking site like IXtreme LT,360iso etc.
I used to post threads & comments out there under this id or name.
And I also started to post comments under this name here on Gamers world Bd too.
And from the start to till now,i’ve been using this id to post comments out here on the comment section of gamers world bd…

@sng425: 1st ans of your question: My name is Mafiul. And my URL name is mafiul.com and I think using my url name as id have no problem but got some benefit. I can explain the benefit, but I’m sure u got it. & I asked you about your name because it’s a interesting code name!
Then back the the main point, Every code name have some rezone and meaning for every letter or number. If it’s ok you can explain…. I really wan to know. But it’s ok if it’s not for explaining.

What is the price of Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 @ Dhaka? And what is the minimum power supply it need?
Nvidia website say’s total power supply of around 550W is needed (maybe they always count it with Latest extreme processor, that is why it’s so high)
Gamespot says its individually need 250W.
What do you guys comment on it?

Mar 29th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
@MAFIUL.COM

Sorry! Not “Just Cause 2”, I wanted to talk about “Prison Break: The Conspiracy” [release: 03/30/10]. How it is available in BD even few days before release?
Mar 30th, 2010 at 12:06 am
@MAFIUL.COM
because the hackers hacked it before and was available in torrent sites about a week ago.Dont think the shops like it next or npp or others and something else cuz what u get in the shops is what me and others will get downloading from a torrent.They are just simple downloaders and burning them to a dvd and sell em nothing else who has hell lot of a internet speed to get em quicker unlike us.Dont need to mention renaming scene groups release to it next rulz or whatever crap 😛 .
Mar 30th, 2010 at 12:11 am
@Rabbi: Where the hacker get the game!
Mar 30th, 2010 at 12:24 am
i dont know how they exactly get em cuz i aint a hacker from a scene group.But the policy is simple they somehow get the game files before its released and they use their computing coding knowledge to hack the game protection and post the game with the cracking files to torrent sites ➡ .

Looks like I just made a century!
I know thousands of people will do lots of double, triple centuries in this BD Gaming website on commenting. But it really feels gr8 to be the 1st centurion form the general user (not admin).

@Rabbi
Thanks for speedtest result,bro.That was very helpful ! 🙂
The Download speed is good enough & the ping is also satisfying,
But the upload speed is kind of a slow… 🙁
I thought the upload speed will be equal to the DL Speed…
Sometimes I also have to do some uploading…
So in that case,What am i suppossed to do?
Still,In overall,It’s good…
Though It would be better if anyone can give me a speedtest result of Banglalion’s Wimax Internet Connection…
So that I can Compare it with the Qubee’s Connection…
Anyway,Thanks again for helping me out,Bro !
