GTA IV: Drive Drunk & Get Your Strip On

If you were on the fence about picking up the latest installment of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto series, maybe a little road soda and flesh-on-pole action will help.

The Associated Press reports today that those who take control of the games leading man, Niko Bellic, will not only be able to kill and blow up just about anything they want, they will also be able to drive under the influence, and unload some of their hard earned cash at several in game strip clubs.

The fun doesn’t stop there however, as the lovely “enhancements” listed above are only a small portion of the fun to be had in GTA IV. The game also includes the ability to chat and meet people over the phone and online, go on dates, hijack vehicles, fly helicopters, and earn butt loads of money while you run from the cops.

“We wanted to completely rebuild the core mechanics and create a really slick, cool experience,” said Rockstar Games Vice President Dan Houser.

We got you Dan-o. “Slick” — like the poles in a strip club.

“We wanted to make the storytelling more sophisticated and more organic,”

I wonder if Dan meant to say “orgasmic”?

“We’re giving the player choices without ramming it down their throats,”

You heard the man. Don’t ram the game down your throat — they will not be held responsible.

“We want people to be really excited and not know everything by the time they play the game,” added Dan. “Of course, we want them to understand what they’re buying, but we want there to be surprises along the way.”

Thanks for heads up Dan, but at this point, I am pretty sure that even my grandmother knows what Grand Theft Auto is all about.

So there you have it everyone, it appears that this dandy holds even more surprises that are yet to come, so sit tight and check back with us often.

    Chad,

    COD4 is good, but no where near as good as Team Fortress 2… but even TF2 wont be as good as GTA4!

    Cant wait… but I guess I’ve got no choice but too, unless any of you have a time machine I can borrow?

    I can’t believe after your line of jokes that you didn’t do something better with “ramming it down their throats”. Come on, Chad, seriously.

    See Dan, what you were looking for me to say was something like this…

    “Is it me, or do the words “ram it down their throat” take on new meaning when thoughts of a strip club are still fresh in your mind.”

    Mhmmm CHad COD4 is currently the best game out, but all my prestiges won’t mean a thing once GTA4 comes out because COD4 will be on the shelf collecting dust along with Rainbow Six Vegas….Unfortunatly
