Achievement unlocked: GTA IV 'Key to the City'

by James Ransom-Wiley { Nov 13th 2008 at 5:46PM }

We suppose a physical award is more satisfying than the typical on-screen, pop-up Achievement or Trophy, but then, what use, really, is a giant key engraved with the Rockstar and GTA IV logos? Fine, we admit it! We're jealous. There was simply no hope in us ever completing 100 percent of the Big Apple-sized sandbox (and by May 19th, no less). In fact, we're not certain we even finished a single mission. We just couldn't pry ourselves away from the pool halls, dart boards and internet dates -- just how we always imagined the lazy, urban underbelly of society.

This key makes me happy in places unseen...

Oh dear looks like a slow news day

I'm guessing you don't remember the "South Park Guitar Queer-o Liveblog!!"

Why is it that I had to read the shorter source article just to understand this one? That's a first.

Adam @ Nov 13th 2008 7:28PM

Yeah, I have to agree, this post is badly written and seems to assume knowledge of previous articles on the subject.

as much as i dislike what the franchise has become even i'll admit that's pretty sweet.

it leads me to wonder if the collectors edition would've sold better had they included this instead of all that other cheap crap.

Took them long enough!

looks sort of cool but too middle of the mall at the same time

Snowblind @ Nov 13th 2008 7:07PM

Kind of cool, but what's it actually made of? It looks very plastic.

This is very depressing to me since I'm the kind of guy who'd max out my GTA4 save (seeing as I had juiced San Andreas for most of it), and I don't (still) have an Xbox360.

Still, I didn't know they were actually talking about real keys way back when. Looks ubercool.

Yep, got mine on Tuesday (Monday for the Americans out there), and it's collectastic. And useless, but it's still cool.

Awesome. Congratulations to PS3 and Xbox 360 Gamers. Us PC gamers didn't even get the opportunity to participate as we don't get to play GTAIV till November 18, 2008.

Excuse me, I forgot, we were delayed once more. Make that December 2, 2008.

Guess us PC gamers aren't good enough to participate in these contest. Speaking of which, hey Rockstar, how about a Bully patch?

Man that's some dedication. Not sure I've got the hardcore streak if that's what's required. Played it through almost to the end but I can't be the only one who got bored with it? Great game but boring in the end.
