All info about Grand Theft Auto IV (rethought and rewritten by me)

How to Access:

 

As soon as you've purchased and played Grand Theft Auto IV or any other Rockstar title supported by the Social Club, you can gain entry into that game's designated area of the website. You will need to make sure that you:

(a) are logged in to www.rockstargames.com/socialclub with a registered and activated Social Club account

 

(b) have your Social Club account linked with your Games for Windows LIVEâ„¢ Gamertag

 

(c) have played a Rockstar Games Social Club supported videogame on a network-enabled console or PC that is signed in to Games for

Windows LIVEâ„¢ so that your gameplay data can been relayed to the Social Club servers, and

 

(d) satisfy the relevant age rating requirements for the game.

 

After these steps, the Social Club will automatically start displaying relevant data based on what you've done while playing the game (this can take up to 48 hours or more for game data to propagate, so please be patient).

 

Multiplayer Leaderboards – Robust leaderboards for every single Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer mode, including Car Jack City, Bomb da Base II, Hangman's NOOSE, Team Deathmatch and more.

 

LCPD Police Blotter – A virtual map and tracker of single-player criminal activity logged in Liberty City from the aggregated data of millions of connected players – showing the most dangerous areas of town, most commonly used weapons and more – all updated on a daily basis.

 

The Story Gang – This is a special single-player leaderboard that recognizes players who have completed the main story arc of Grand Theft  Auto IV, successfully experiencing the story of Niko Bellic in Liberty City up to and including the final mission. The leaderboard ranks players according to the total amount of playing time it's taken them to complete the story, as well as a historical rank by who has completed it First. The 100% Club – The most elite of the elite. See who was First to complete 100% of the game. The 100% Club also carries a historical leaderboard showing rankings of who has completed 100% in the shortest span of playing hours.

 

The Hall of Fame – This area dynamically recognizes those players who have reached the top of the hill on various statistical leaderboards, and also contains your personal trophy shelf of in-game achievements and successes in special Social Club competitions.

 

The Liberty City Marathon – A ranking of special physical milestones you've achieved in the game – from the amount of miles walked, driven, or swam – to the number of bullets drawn and stunt-jumps jumped.

 

The Millionaires Club – Recognizing and celebrating all of the wealthy seven-Figure Grand Theft Auto IV players. Millionaire status is determined by totalling all of the money you've ever earned in single-player-mode from completing missions, winning races, doing vigilante side-jobs, and fortuitously picking up 'dropped' money in the street. See if you are a bonafide Millionaire, as well as where your single-player time to reach a million compares against all the other nouveau riche ‘business men' of Liberty City. With three leaderboards ranked by who's become a Millionaire First, who's done it quickest, and who is the richest in the City.

 

ZiT – With ZiT, instantly Find out the artist and song name of your favourite in-game tracks. Gone are the days of hearing a song in the soundtrack and then looking it up in the manual to Figure out what song it is. Now with this revolutionary service, you just hear the song in the game, tag it – and the next time you visit your profile at the Social Club, the details will be waiting there for you.

 

Multiplayer

 

All of Liberty City is a playground for you to cause chaos with up to 31 of your friends, across an array of varied multiplayer games. There are 15 modes to choose from, including Party Mode, each with numerous options to help you tailor your experience any way you like.

When you start to get really good, you can accumulate some bragging rights when your achievements are stored and documented in the Social Club. Get to be the best and you may receive some prizes from Rockstar in upcoming multiplayer tournaments.

Another exciting new feature in Grand Theft Auto IV PC is Custom Match. When you know which types of multiplayer matches you enjoy playing, you can select your options and search for lobbies that  fit your criteria. From the mobile phone, you can now choose Quick Match, Create Match or Custom Match. The interface for the Custom Match pops up in its own screen, similar to the lobby interface. For detailed information on online multiplayer and Custom Match, including controls and options, please refer to www.rockstargames.com/iv/pc.

 

Independence FM

 

You can now select your own favourite songs to play through the in-game radio station Independence FM. Simply place your non DRM'ed MP3s, WMAs, or M4As (or shortcuts to your music folders) in the file location below:

Note: Quicktime or iTunes needs to be installed for M4A support.
