Remember you have to have some main story missions and some side missions done before some random characters appear, I would reccomend leaving the Random Characters to last before the collectibles in a 100% run.

Lemme tell you this, it takes balls to make a guide of GTA IV lol..


Got my Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic trophy today, damn was i scared for a few seconds after that last race lol, but you really don't have to do it in 1 session, you might wanna add that, reason for that rimour to go into the world was when trophies for GTA IV just came out, to many people were racing at the same time, wich caused the servers to overload and data being lost, now the multiplayer is practically dead so theres no harm in doing it in multiple sessions.. And also very important, you have to win as a cop AND a crook in One For All AND All For One..

Platinums: Assassin’s Creed II (100%), Modern Warfare 2 (100%), Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (100%), Fifa 10 (100%), Need For Speed: Shift (100%). Next: ‘GTA IV’ & ‘Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X’

Is the melee counter trophie glitched I did 40 in 4 minutes and didnt get a trophie.


Just randomly attack people, the ones who fight back, you have to counter, by pressing X right when they're about to hit you, then quickly hit them back, i had no problems with this, melee-counters are not just hitting people, you really have to counter-hit them.. (succesfully.. lol)

For the “Finish Him” trophy try the vid in the guide, I really can't think of a better place to do it, make sure you are doing melee COUNTERS.


For the “Liberty City (5)” you need Roman, Dwayne, Little Jacob, Packie and Brucie to 90% so make sure you don't kill off Dwayne or Roman or else (like me) you will be starting a new game to get the trophy.


You only need 90% for your friends who are still alive, i killed dwayne and roman and i just needed to get Packie, Brucie & Jakob to like me over 90%, Roman was 87% and dwayne 61%.. so you don't need to start a new game to get this one..

AWP is a very glitchy and buggy trophy, Congrats on getting it by the way. I tried for a few months to do it in multiple sessions until I had clocked up 5 wins on everything, so eventially I said screw it and did it in one session… … it didn't work, so in early June last year I started again and after a random Cannonball race *pop* Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic and my Platinum Trophy.


When writing the guide I decided to put in one way that I knew WOULD definately work. Rockstar I believe accidently duplicated some multiplayer accounts making it very difficult to do it in multiple sessions. So keep doing one session slogs and you WILL get it, but only do it in one session after you're sure that multiple sessions wont work.


BTW I can't believe I left out the thing about Cops 'N' Crooks that was one of the main problems for people. Well I can't do much about it as I can't edit the guide any more but thanks for pointing it out to me.

Sorry to hear that man, i probably wouldn't have retried if i wouldn't have gotten it.. All I have to do now is get to level 10 in multiplayer (sigh..) and the sexy platinum is mine! xD


Games:

Assassin's Creed II = Platinum, 100%

Modern Warfare 2 = Platinum, 100%

Need For Speed Shift = Platinum, 83% (damn DLC!)

GTA IV = 91% (just 1 more to go)

Fifa 10 = 67% (out of 83%) 5 more to go, 3 easy, 2 friggin' hard as hell..


About to buy Bad Company 2, The Godfather 2, HAWX and maybe Hannah Montana for some easy trophies lol

Note: the ones you killed or were able to kill during the storyline do not count towards 100% in-game completion, also, the guy called Jeff doesn't count towards 100% either, but you have to meet him to get the trophy 'No More Strangers', but really, do his 3 missions, they're easy and sorta hilarious with the right amount of alchohol flowing through your vains xD

Hi,

I've had this game since it came out (before trophies). Ive since been hooked on collecting platinums and have 12.

I have decided to add GTA to my collection, i just have 1 question however, in order to get the game done in 30 hours or less, if i only do the main story will i be able to go back and do all the side missions, random characters, car exports, etc? Or will i have enough time to do them along side the main story, I dont really wanna be doin the game twice as it is so long!

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you,

Just focus on the main story as you can still play after the story is complete to find all flying rats, jumps etc and get friendships to 100% and do anything else that needs to be done.

Focus completely on the main missions, skip every cutscene and always use taxis and skip the journey. I done this and finished in 15hrs 40 mins.

I did it in 25 Hours, but I watched all the cutscene's (my first time i played) but i used Taxi's to get anywhere i wanted, make sure you haul one when you enter a mission point, so it will still be there when you leave to go to your mission..


Got most of the trophies during the storyline, really isn't hard, but just don't do the pigeons, jumps, side missions, friendships and the no more strangers one..


I got a call for the final mission when doing the assassin's missions (thought they were needed for the story) finished all of them and then did the final mission…


Used no cheats at all, you can if you want, but for that session you won't be able to get certain trophies (no story trophies are affected by cheats), just save, restart and then a message will pop up saying 'trophies are available' so you can cheat all you want, but just not in the session where you want the get certain trophies (one man army, walk free, cleaning the mean streets & manhunt i think..)

Just keep going man, it's not the same for every playthrough, it could be 100% but it's normally around 80% so if you're on 83% I guarantee you, you can't be far away.

You have to download a patch, make sure you're connected to the internet, then when you put Grand Theft Auto IV in, you will be prompted to download a new version. Download it. When it's done and you get into your game check your Trophies via your XMB and a trophy list for GTAIV should be there. Hope that helps.

also you have to start a new game save as the trophies only work on new saves not saves before the trophy update
