Grand Theft Auto IV Key to the City Keys Starting to Arrive

Grand Theft Auto IV Key to the City Keys Starting to Arrive
Written Tuesday, November 11, 2008 by James Parkin

Great news everyone, we're getting numerous reports from people all over the world stating that they've received their coveted Grand Theft Auto IV Key to the City.

If you don't remember; when Grand Theft Auto IV came out, Rockstar placed a challenge onto their Social Club. The challenge was simple; get 100% on the story within an allotted amount of time and you would receive your very own Key to the City to show off, as well as the "Key to the City" achievement.

For all of who who're wondering what the Key looks like, look no further. The Key comes in a hard cased black felt box accompanied by a white heavystock "with compliments" slip from Rockstar.

 


For all you who've already received your key, what do you think? For all you who haven't yet, are you still excited?

Yeah that's great, too bad I got 100% in the alotted time, but it only showed 87% on their page when the challenge ended. So I doubt I will be getting one...

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 @ 07:26:00 PM

Yeah i did mine in the allotted time also, I actually had gotten it done 2 days before the original deadline. I still didn't even have 100% according to the site even after they pushed the game back.

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 @ 08:25:47 PM

See, I didn't get an email from rockstar when they asked for everyone's addresses. As I got 100% within a week, not the 2 weeks for the challenge.

What a jip...

That looks awesome.

It sucks because i never recall hearing about this before today, even when it was going on. Would have given me more initiative to play the game off the bat.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 @ 01:37:55 PM

got mine a couple of days back, i was really impressed with it, just to settle a few disputes, i finished in time but it didnt come appear that way on the web site in fact for close to week and including the deadline it said 0% i didnt recieve an email from rock star so i email them and they sent me the form and said they thought they had already sent it. not bad at all what i really have my eyes set on though is a sack boy figurine, ive got a bid going on ebay at the moment.

Comment #54 by Xedoss
Wednesday, November 12, 2008 @ 01:38:02 PM

Games not worth playing to 100% imho, but the key looks cool. Congrats to the winners and kudo's for putting up with that game for so long :P.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 @ 10:36:40 PM

So you had to beat the game with 100% under the time of 30 hours? I'm a bit confused, but I doubt I'll be getting one of these marvelous keys anyways.

Comment #66 by MrRedrum
Wednesday, November 12, 2008 @ 11:09:37 PM

unfortunately for me my copy shipped and arrived late as a result so by the time I finished the 100% achievement I was a day or so late to qualify =/ and Big Vento, you completely missed out. Writing to them won't get you anywhere regardless of being one of the first... good luck though lol.

I became eligable for one of them. Even got the email about the whole thing that i had to send off. Didn't have a printer and couldn't be bothered getting the 2 witness' or whatever they were asking for so i didn't bother with it. lol.

Thursday, November 13, 2008 @ 12:53:28 AM

there was a deadline to get 100% completion within 4 weeks of release...i was 1 of those ppl but it didnt update on the Rockstarsocialclub website until 2 months after the contest was over, ive been complaining to rockstar ever since.

Comment #70 by AS9
Thursday, November 13, 2008 @ 06:49:43 AM

And what can you actually do with this key? Will it impress humans of the female persuasion? Me thinks not. Kudos to people putting up with the game long enough to reach 100% though.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
