^This should be posted instead because they list what achievements can't be unlocked. (Car/motorcycle codes don't block anything)
Once you get the achievements that are originally blocked, like on another save file, you are free to use cheats for the rest of the game with no problems.

So you're saying once I unlock the "Cleaned the Mean Streets" Achievement, I am free to use the weapon cheats without repercussions?! I will not lost out on ANY OTHER CHIEVOS? (please say yes!)

Yup but it's usually safe to just get the other achievements that get blocked like "One Man Army" etc but yeah, it won't mess up story mission achievements and stuff.

The police confiscates weapons, at least it did the one time i got arrested (which should have never happened...)

Yeah, they do take your weapons. Not a huge deal later in the game, because you (should) have atleast 500,000 dollars, and NOTHING else to buy but weapons (which is a failure on GTAIV's part, I think). I got busted once when I accidentally tapped a cop car, and then got out of my car in just the right spot to get busted. The mechanic to resist arrest is so broken that you've got maybe a second to run away before it takes all your weapons ><

That said, these cheats codes are helpful for having a bit of old fashioned GTA fun, in the mass mayhem sense. This list should note that once you put in a cheat on your phone, it saves it to a menu option named "Cheats" so you don't have to manually type out the cheat again. I'm kinda sad that the cheats have been cut down to almost nothing for this GTAIV. Where is the make all cars black cheat? Make cars fly? Make pedestrians attack you? Spawn a tank? I feel like in the name of "realism" they've completely screwed with the GTA formula....meh, still a good game though, but I like Vice City more.

We didn't realize. Cuz we're not filthy cheaters!

Well yeah, these cheats have been around for over 2 weeks. With similar replies like the one above, Xav de Matos, I now understand why most people don't want you as an editor here. So damn annoying, you can't every spell in most of your posts.

wow ... just ... wow.

@Chris: Why r u so angury?

Actually wait a second...

"So damn annoying, you can't every spell in most of your posts."

I think you meant "You can't even spell"

Ironic error there champ. COMMENT EPIC FAIL.

@ Carpe and Chris

I think the point of the post was to highlight the video of the cheats in action. Where in the post does X3F claim to have "brand spanking new, exclusive, never before seen GTA4 news?"

I don't think X3F is hurting for page views so bad that they have to "scoop" all the other video game sites. (correct me if I'm wrong Xav)

For some people this is the first time they've seen the cheat codes in action. Isn't that enough to warrant the post? If a piece of news has no interest to you then move on.

No you're right. We certainly aren't doing it for the hits considering we have such a loyal readership.

We're just offering up the information, not telling anyone it was breaking news. The video just happen to be newly tipped to us hence the post. A video makes for a better post than listing the numbers alone.

As for the anger thrown at me from Chris I'll just do what people do to him in his everyday life, pretend he isn't there and hope he gets the message.

Explain how a game that's only been out for one week has had cheats out for more than 2 weeks? Actually, don't. No one cares.

See this is the reason why you should have to have a license to breed. Stupid people keep breeding and create even stupider people...lets just hope Chris doesn't breed. *fears the stupidity of his possible children*

For the record, I believe Xav fits in perfectly here.

Should have sent in the tip then. We blame you.
