Holy crap, all that for what are supposed to be cheap Russian clothes? I think Game Daily should've looked for knockoffs a bit more.

That's great. But will buying all of that allow me to run rampant in the streets and shoot left and right, escaping *just* outside the radius that the cops are chasing me?

Maybe I need to have the accent also. Yeah that's it.

Coming soon: Talk like Little Jacob.

Psssh... That's not what *my* Niko looks like. I prefer the suit and tie as I coldly execute my enemies with a Desert Eagle.

@Spoony Bard: You'll never know if you don't try. I say go for it.

@Demonbird: Coming later: talking like drunk Little Jacob

Unfortunately, I already dress like his cousin Roman.

@Demonbird:

I had to turn on subtitles to understand Little Jacob, and even then, I still can't understand "wha da brutha be sayin, mon".

What the shit? That jacket cost me 26 bucks in the game. The reality has been ruined for me.

@Demonbird:

Good luck with that.

Boy they didn't try hard. They didn't even find a jacket in the right color.

Also, why does that guy have on so many layers of clothing? That's crazy! He's got 3 jackets, a sweater, and you can see a bit of a blue shirt on beneath the sweater as well.

Wow...I always thought Niko was broke?

Brian, Brian, Brian! Make this a contest! Huzzah!

@Figcoinc: He's obviously very resourceful. In my case, Niko has only been in Liberty City for about 25 days, but has just under $500k.

Way to wear fingerless gloves without looking emo.

@Darth Navster: Same, mine is in a nice black suit with a red tie, kinda looks like Agent 47

You want to know whats shit???
I took lil Jacob to burger shot and the bill was 120$.... WTF.

And when I make it big, get my Perseus Suit on and my black wing tips and go pick up Michelle in my Porche, that BITCH has the nerve to tell me that these pants dont go with the top and they my shoes must be from the old country and dont work. Yea they from overseas, it's called Italy, you might have heard of it, looks like a friggin boot. Dumbass woman Here I am Niko friggin Bellic lookin all fly n gangsta with my stolen porche here to take her to cluckn bell and she has the nerve to complain about my dress. what about her kmart special sweater top. I wish it wasnt a cut scene so I could run her ass over with a Mercedes.

I'm...pretty sure I could get that whole outfit at Old Navy! (And for much cheaper than quoted). Nico's shopping secrets revealed...

Not that it matters that much but I really don't like any of the clothes Niko wears. But then again I haven't been to every store yet.

I really liked the clothes we got in Bully.

@Demonbird: "Heymon dontchano dat not wanna gona be"

So basically it would cost $1,100 to dress like crap.

yeah those clothes don't match niko's at all. the expense would be reasonable if it was hard to find a good match, but it looks like they just did a 30 second amazon search for some of this stuff.

all in all, reads like an ad

@Rebel Without Applause: But there are only four of them - and Perseus is having two shops on the same part of the island, which cuts the number of clothing shops down to three... Does anyone else besides me like the idea of Niko in a Halloween-costume, looking like a skeleton?

I think Niko looks best in Claude's clothes, (guy from GTA3).

@Derigor: Michelle's a fan of grunge.

@Al Bino: I'm thinking about getting the "Hitman" suit and just leaving that on. I did purchase Camo pants, which is cool, but is anything else camo?

I put Niko in the suit with the black turtleneck, added in some slick shades, and now I've got myself some badass epic looking professional sniper shit going on. I did this right before the mafia construction site bit, and man, it just felt--right.

Later I'm going to go put on the tie, grab a baseball bat, hit up the main drag, and reenact my favorite scenes from Falling Down. D-Fens! D-Fens!

Spend all that money on clothes and you still aren't getting laid when girls realize you're trying to dress up like a videogame character.

A prostitute would be a much better investment.

@Derigor: Pro response =D

I just noticed the gloves arent in the game. Even though they are in tons of screenshots and advertisements I have never came across them.

Forget the clothing (which is pretty much a rif-off from Brad Pitt's character in Snatch): does Niko get to bun a spliff wit Little Jacob eventually?

I bet you I could recreate that look for much, much less. There's no reason to pay that much money for what is essentially a cheap jacket over a hoodie, with jeans.

@Derigor:

That's funny, because I noticed the same thing. I was like, since when is a fast food restaurant $120 bucks for two people? Little Jacob must REALLY like Cluckin Bell.

And so far as Michelle goes, she's a weird chick. Wear a suit and she gets pissed, but put on some aviator glasses and jeans and taking her to the bowling alley, and she brings you home for the after party, if you know what I mean. Wink. Wink.

Only Niko can pull off wearing an $800 leather jacket and $30 sweatpants at the same time.

@Rebel Without Applause: There are camo pants? Awesome! I need to get them as fast as possible when I'm back home.

@belo: No, she's a fan of being poor. Which is really fun considering when you goto her apartment everything is brand spankin new because she is a clean freak and throws everything away and buys new stuff once it has an unsatisfactory level of dander and dust mites. Just because she blows all her money on furnishings, I have to dress from salvation army thrift stores so that she can feel superior to me?

On a serious note, I am only about 30% through the game, and I keep getting the feeling she is a FED. Asks too many questions. I also get the feeling she is going to murder me in a Mr. Brooks fashion.

Do any of the other clothing stores sale hats/glasses? The first store does but the whole army hat or fur hat is kinda meh. I need me a baseball cap or a cowboy hat. Yea! a Cowboy hat and the grey suit would rule, be all JR from Dallas and I can run around town hitting the whiskey and ruining people's lives, then come home and yell at Bobby for being a wuss... err I mean yell at Cousin fatty. Whatever his name was. Roman.

i wonder when the useless gta hype machine will stop?

@DugDawg: Strip Club, Bullets, Dinner, and Bar all cost less than Burger Shot. Hell we all know bowling in real life requires some type of financial plan when you go up there to get a lane (pay upfront, after, per game, per frame, per hour, shoes, no shoes, socks, interest on socks, buy socks form machine, etc..) I can take Michelle bowling for 10 bucks but Burger Shot...?

for 120 bucks they better let me pick out my own cow and give it the death blow before they slaughter it and cook it.

@Demonbird: Meh go ge' a real Badman to do a job, ye ere meh?

@Sonovius: About two weeks before Rockstar releases the first addon for GTA IV on the Xbox 360. Guess what happens then... :D

@Al Bino: The internet suddenly conbusts.

This would be awesome for Halloween if it weren't so damn expensive.

Yeesh. I got Nico out of his original clothes for a reason. If I wanted to look like a greasy track suit wearing criminal I would move to Alderney.

I don't think they pick the right gear.

Too expensive in some cases and the wrong type for others.

120 dollah chicken feast explained:

Little Jacob got the munchies.

And a question:
Is there only 3 brands of clothing stores ? 1.Russian 2.Modo 3.Persus (or somthing)
I keep seeing great clothes on the streets (the hoddies etc) But Myself can look like:
Skier
Generic mr Smith
A warcriminal
a Golfer
Agent 47

Maybe (makes sence) the "hidden" brands you see on NPCs (as showcased here on Kotaku) will show up as DLC, but that would make Ps3rs cry I guess...

I just want more cusomization... I want moaaar! (thank you, may I have another)

I also need a spellchecker...

@Shikome: I also need a spellchecker...

I wanna know where I can get the Claude Speed outfit in real life.

Wal-Mart would be close call. Non of those pieces should cost more than $19.99

Is it Bell-Ick or Bell-Itch? I don't get the game until later today (stupid out-of-stock-ness!) and it's been driving me mental!

@Collins1: Bell-Ick
@DannoHung: Any thrift store or Salvation Army will do. Just get some black sneakers, green cargo khakis, and a black or black leather jacket and you're set. Unless you mean GTA2 Claude:

I personally wouldn't be caught dead looking like the mouth cancer survivor that is GTAIII Claude.

@Demonbird: My parents are Jamaican. When I first heard Little Jacob I didn't know weather to laugh of be offended. Honestly it was so hard to understand him sometimes. Rockstar got quite a few of the terms right but I'm not sure if it was the correct accent.

@TheDollHouse: I think thtey did that on purpose, they just put him way over the top like most characters in GTA

On clothes, yeah. I'm kinda dissapointed with the lack of clothes to get. Like someone said, the NPCs occasioanlyl have some cool stuff but you just can't get anything

@Darth Navster: hells yeah. None of this 'default' nonesne ;)

*nonsense.

I fail.

You can buy a shotgun from Amazon for $16.99? America is one messed-up country.

Over $1000 to dress like an illegal immigrant.

...

Sold.
