[@cupofmozzarella]

As someone who also just did all the achievements in GTA IV on PC (luckily no multiplayer achievements on Steam), I really REALLY feel this video. The pain of doing every car pickup, street race, stunt jump and especially the pigeons is just something else. Perhaps the 20(!) street races were the worst. The trophy for 100% is actually a bit more in-depth as well, as you also need to do every available hangout with Brucie, Jacob and Packie at least once. And when I finally thought I was done, I realized that completely missed the Liberty City Minute achievement so I had to do another full playthrough. Luckily the use taxis and skipping of cutscenes meant that I was done in 9:27:00 exactly. Like I said, I felt this video. Thank you.

[@evzevz06]

I remember doing this back in the day when the AWP trophy was bugged, so you had to win every race, gta race , deathmatch, tdm, complete all 3 of the missions under the developers time, all in 1 session without turning your console off 😖

That lan party was epic. This video and your other GTA ones actually motivated me to get the platinum for this game as it is my favorite in the series! I couldn't convince my friends to do a lan party like you but thankfully strangers helped me get the multiplayer ones, I'm now playing the single player to get the story related ones and then onto the side activities for the 100%! This will be my first ever platinum and I'm glad it is on such an iconic game, still remember watching crash compilations when it first released. Edit: I got it.

It's a grind for sure, but the plat isn't too bad. Though I heard getting to level 100 in online is kind of a chore now. Thankfully those trophies autopop because it carries over after finishing it on the Xbox 360.

[@anon6706]

​@@iLL_WiLL_Nah getting to rank 100 is absolutely one of the easiest as you'll naturally get RP when grinding the rest of them. The real problem will be stuff like the doomsday elite challenges, I have 3.5k + hours and still those are daunting to me and have yet to complete them, it's absolutely insanely hard and everyone on your team has to be perfect, no mistakes what so ever.

[@iLL_WiLL_]

@@anon6706 Oh for sure. I just meant the plat. There is no way in hell I'm doing the mastermind challenges. Too much time and too much coordination for me to realistically complete them. If I didn't have a job or did it for a living, maybe, but that's not the case right now. It's one of the few games in my list that will stay at Plat, But 100% Not Complete.
