tarquin biscuitbarrel Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I can't hate this game even if i try. I've tried to approach GTAIV in the mindset that the game sucks, hoping to understand these 'haters' by playing from their point of view. Within 5 minutes of playing I get totally blown away. That's right, the game is still blowing me away after 3 full play-through's of the story mode, over 200 hours played. It's the most 'complete' game i've ever played, with incredibly high quality and it totally raised the standard of computer games, which is great for the industry. Most of the brown stuff seems to be associated with the lack of sandbox features present. In my opinion these accusations are null and void because the gameplay is immense already. Even if I didn't enjoy this game, I would still have enough common sense to acknowledge the fact that GTAIV is an incredible game. Random example: I was getting chased by cops and decided to steal a Faggio from some guy. After forcibly mounting the scooter the angry owner grabbed onto Niko's jacket as I accelerated away. It's hard to put into words the amazing feeling you get as you're getting chased by the cops, and your getaway vehicle consists of a scooter straining under the weight of dragging a large man along the road.

wayninja Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Why would you 'try' to hate something? I don't truly believe anyone hates this game. Some people just don't get as much pleasure from Faggio dragging as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where you're coming from. Like said before, the game is only the start, wait till they start pushing the consoles to the limit, like they did on the PS2.

Because no matter what any body says, one cant possibly "hate" this game. especially after paying $60 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greebo-man Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I agree with the topic starter. It's an incredible game. Stand it next to most other PS3 and Xbox games and GTAIV will piss all over it. But is it an incredible GTA? No. I just hope that R* will build on this to rebuild that unique GTA sense i get when I play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nedews Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hi, I just registred here and I agree with topic starter! It's something really awesome about gta 4 that's hard to explain, I much rather go and mess around in this game then the others and i think the story is awesome to play too. It's not perfect but I think it's much better then san andreas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra71 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Good for you. Why do we need to know this ? The same reason you think we need to know your opinion of the game in every thread. Christ knows why someone who hates a game so much would hang around the official forums so much. YOU are the real 'fanboy'. Normal gamers would never expend so much energy and emotion on a game they don't like. They just don't play it and they definitely don't hang around the forums whining at every opportunity they get.

PMan74 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 With all the negative stuff round here, it's good to know there are others like me who love this game. I was on the bus today and saw some lad with a copy he was obviously trading in. He said it was rubbish as well. I just don't get it. Why are people complaining there's nothing to do after the story? As I was saying to my brother the other day, how many games give you ANYTHING to do after the story? I can't think of a single one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, you used a quote out of context. Do you know what the word 'random' means? Either way, if you're not convinced that GTAIV is at the pinnacle of single player video games, then would you kindly show me any other 3d game with a balance of detail and graphics which comes close? It's not just graphics, the entire game is superior to previous GTA games in all the major categories. Graphics, physics, sound/music, gameplay, story/characters, multiplayer.

(not a bad thing, I'm just guessing) Never play a GTA game expecting huge changes and decisions that affect outcomes. GTA is played through very straightforward.
