There's going to be people taking Extasy just to get that 100% in time lol man I'm not ruining my GTA story experience with that. I also doubt anyone will finish GTA so soon. Unless they never sleep and play 24/7, it should take them 100 hours.

The only GTA game I ever completed to 100% was VC...

This sounds like a really neat feature, especially if you've enough time on your hands to be on the leaderboard.

That list is a great way to find out the ten people you should never associate with, and should probably be locked away.

Also, the people who Prima or BradyGames or whoever should go thank immediately.

sounds very cool, the story gang and the 100% club dont really bother me much considering i have never fully completed a GTA game. However the police blotter and The Liberty City Marathon sounds statisically awesome!

@excel_excel: While positioning it like that probably won't work, it'd be pretty damn cool to have a whole mission shot as though it's from a news chopper chasing Niko while he's trying to ditch the cops. It'd be an overhead camera that lets you see a bit more of the map and it'd be hellafun.

Think of it as GTA's take on the COD4 death-from-above mission.

Tyber_Zann — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:42:08 MDT

This is sweet as hell, but I also don't agree with some of the achievements.

The first 10 people to get 100% get 'a key to the city'? C'mon. I don't want to have to rush through the game like I'm on some ADHD frenzy just to get an achievement. I'm going to take my sweet time playing this game. Hell, when GTA III came out, I played that for over a year straight.

Hopefully there will be many more achievements that don't have to be rushed. There's just no way I'm breezing through the story and getting 100% that quickly. That'd be an insult to this wonderful game and the time that was spent creating it.

They can do so much with the police blotter. If there are high amounts of murders in an area from a single player they can label him as a serial killer and other players have to figure who he is. They would have to add it to the multiplayer modes, but it can always be DLC.

I think what's really cool about this is that it's being done cross-platform, since it'll link PSN and Live on a third-party site (the Social Club). It just goes to show (if it works, of course) that we *can* all play together.

From a company point of view...

ROCKSTAR GAMES will in the end dominate.
This new addition is an amazing addition twords the GTA:IV world.
Imagine you and your friend both playing in diffrent states, and oh suddenly you kill half of the people in aka queens and blow up gosh idk everything, well now your a "made man" the social club shall recognize poeple for thier brilliantly talendted ways of playing gta,

This might also be a smart way to track crazy kids...if you shoot up half a city block in gta and then at your real highschool well theremight be a trail therelol
