[GTA IV] The classic broken swingset, but in combination with something I’ve never seen before… You’ll believe pigs can fly

Sorry for lack of sound. Xbox capture mutes all GTA IV videos, probably for copyrighted music. Caught this while messing around, wasn’t even trying to bait it into happening. It’s definitely a new combo for me, but maybe others have seen something like this arrest happen before.

I love the thought of dying while being arrested. You know somebody is getting suspended with pay after this one

I go back to GTA4 for the driving experience.

I can't think of any other open world game that had as much depth in the driving. Some cars have ABS that prevented the wheels from locking up and other vehicles didn't have ABS. However, I found out that all the vehicles slowed down well while "Threshold braking"

I mean, now in my adult life, I feel like I'm driving in HD Liberty City at times with how my car feels while driving and navigating traffic.

It took real skill to keep your speed up through curves. The best car chases I’ve had since the Driver games.

Yep, that happens! It's also funny when it pings while a pedestrian is dragging you out the car, when the animations ends you both go flying lol

He's done this a hundred times. Just a quick trip to the hospital (or police station in this case) and back to the swing he goes.
