Gobble Gobble Achievement in Grand Theft Auto IV

  • Gobble Gobble

     

    10

    Score 3 strikes in a row, a turkey, in 10-pin bowling.

  • How to unlock Gobble Gobble

    A great tip for the three strikes in a row (Bowling) which always works, is the following:

    • Choose a Half-Time or a Full-Time Game, it doesn't matter.
    • Go to the left (first) lane.
    • Wait till Niko gets the ball in his hands.
    • Hold the to the left, till Niko does two whole steps to the left.
    • Press to get into shooting position.
    • Push the down for one second (if you bring it back too soon, you will throw the ball too fast and you won't get the strike), then push it back up. When pushing it forward, try to push it straight up, and just a hair to the right.
    • Repeat two more times in a row.

    **Can be done after completing story mode**

  • The above comment totally works. I had my ps3 ages ago and tried this one for ages and never got it. Thanks to this comment, it was the second achievement I got.
  • The trick does work, but i might take a game or two. It took me three. Also if you take olonly take one step to left you will hit the pins on the right side instead of the left.
  • This worked but I found 1 second too long to hold the stick back. It worked for me when I counted one thousand one, and at the one have the stick pushed back to the top
  • The trick works awesome!! Got in the first 6 frames. Thanks. didn't think I'd ever get it.
  • i remember my friend randomly got me this one :D lol i didn't even know he was playing GTA4
  • i have the ballad of gay tony and lost and damned downloadable content disc and on the map it doesnt show where the bowling area acctually is, can anyone help?
  • the bowling ally is by the carnival
  • Go with Stentorian br again on this one. I personally dislike this achievement. I wish I could take that turkey, shoot it in the face, and serve it to my family on Thanksgiving. Hey but that's just me talking, you know? Ha Ha
  • I tried "the trick" unsuccessfully in the original GTA IV... then I popped in lost & damned and got it after a few tries. maybe its easier in the DLC?
  • can you just get this achievement by yourself? You don't need to be on a date right?
  • I spent ages on the second last lane and couldn't even get one strike I came back later and tried it on the last one at got it straight away
  • Would you be able to do this on The Ballad of Tony too?
  • The right stick controls the speed you throw the ball and throwing it too fast will mess you up, so like everyone says, give it a little pause before you push it forward and it will slow the ball down a little and then it is easy to get the achievement.
  • Finally got it. But it was bloody anoying!! Grr
  • This and the One Hundred-Eighty was the toughest for me but i soon got the One hundres Eighty achievement btw i'll try your way Stentorian i hope your plan works wish me luck
  • I might be up all night even with these tips..
  • thanks Stentorian that worked great
  • I got 5 in a row. I suggest half a second
  • I've gotten this twice before. Last time I tried 30 times in a row with Roman finna;;y I got a turkey. I mean its hard I kept getting two strikes in a row then a spare ? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm gonna hate going for this again. :(
  • Just bowled a perfect game by using the first poster's method. No achievement for four turkeys in one game though lol. Thx Stentorian.
  • This is actually harder then it looks i guess i just need to put more time into it.
  • this achievement is ridiculous!
  • Thanks for the tip. I thought I would never complete this one.
  • Youtube has some good videos on how to get this.
  • took 4 games but did it. the tips really worked, just needed to slow the right analogy stick down, was doing it way too fast.
  • Wooow,thanks a lot! This one was an thought one
  • I always get 2 strikes and then, on the third ball, I have one pin standing. lol
  • THE TOP COMMENT SAYS "the comment above totally works" and everyone else agrees .... so what the fuck was that top comment
  • Yea, all the comments i read are just talking about some magical trick that "the above comment" said. Top comment says "the comment above totally works " ... wish i knew what it was
  • I got it with the first three balls following this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8lSLjj-aHQ The other tip I have seen is to: Pick up the ball, Take two steps to the left, Press A, Pull back on the R stick and hold it fr one second before slowly pushing it forward. Good luck!
  • After reading all of the tips and watching the Youtube videos on this, I could not get more than 1 strike at a time. Finally I figured out that you have to be in the furthest Left lane for this to work. The lane 2nd from the left will not work for the 2 steps left, 1 second back approach. After switching lanes, unlocked the achievement in 3 throws.
  • Watched a couple of YouTube videos, and read lots of the tips on here, but I found that I just got completely lucky. All three strikes came in the tenth frame, and all while having a five year old hit the controller. Just gotta hang in there!
  • Pick up the ball, Take two steps to the left, Press A, Pull back on the R stick and hold it fr one second before slowly pushing it forward.
  • Fuck this cheevo
  • This achievement gave me cancer.
  • I finally got it. I got to say that I'm fucking grateful that it wasn't for a full fucking game.
