Money is Pointless..I mean EVERY single mission, all Niko talks about is how much it pays, or how much money he wants, and him and Roman always talk about what they will do when they are rich...and I now have about $600k in cash, and there's seriously nothign to do with it.
It's so stupid, I mean there isn't real estate anymore, which would have been nice..or anything at all to spend money on. I know you spend it while playing to buy weapons, but once you're rich, you have so much money and nothing to do with it.
I think Rockstar made a big mistake trying too hard to get all of the little details just right and not focusing on the big details. I would of rather had airplanes and parachutes than care if Libery City looked like NYC or had graffitti on the sidewalk. I don't give a rat's *** about the small stuff.
Well, that's my rant...I just wish money was actually used, since it was talked about SO much in the story mode :/

actually, filling up your weapons inventory with full ammunition takes up money quickly............

After finishing the game with $700k, causing a few rampages brought me down all the way to $150k...

$700k to $150k!! I was pretty surprised I spent that much on weapons....:?

WTF are you talking about! With $600k you could buy the most expensive services from the "ladies of the night" more than 9,000 times.

I know, no buildings to buy or anything. Which is why I like Vice City more.

There isn't much to buy.

Weapons and armour are the biggest expense, followed by medical bills, and as long as you fight and get killed, instead of arrested and have all your weapons taken, you will have hundreds of thousands by the end of the game. The downside is that once you reach the end game, if you run out of money, there is very little you can do to earn more.

I've completed it 100%, earnt somewhere in the region of 1.3m, and still have over 700k. I used taxis loads to get around, You can't buy cars, can't upgrade cars, can't buy houses or businesses. Now I've finished it I can sell it. It's kinda disappointing, as I spent much more time on each of the previous 3 GTAs and never finished those 100%.

I agree with you all. Once u finished the story and get a 100%, there is not much to do in LC. It could have been fun to use singleplayer money in multiplayer. Buy gun upgrades or something. Sadly it aint so. Bored of GTA. Going to play COD4 and Lost Planet online now.

GTA IV was such a massive disappointment for me. Yes, compared to many titles, it is a brilliant game, yet as part of the GTA series, it is terrible. There is absolutely nothing to offer from the free-roaming aspects, and finding ways to part with your cash is a nightmare.
