TiE23 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm sorry I have almost nothing to show at the moment for early readers, but I'm off to go pick up my copy at midnight and I'd just like to say that at the rate things are going, GTA4 may very well be the highest rated videogame to ever be released, passing even Ocarina of Time, SM Galaxy, Metroid, The Orange Box, and Soul Calibur. 10/10 everywhere, the lowest score being 95% out of dozens of other 100%'s.

IG-64 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Been watching this develop. Seriously, wtf? Almost makes me want to get a 360 or ps3 just to see what's so great about it. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yep, all the reviews I've seen so far have been 10/10. Mine should be arriving in the post today, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercenary Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I hope they release it for the PC. I played San Andreas all the way through even though the game crashed on me every 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWally Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I heard GTA4 being called the greatest game and story since Ocarina of Time. I think just putting those two in the same sentence is mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsaberboy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 i haven't really been following what's going on with this game. what makes it better and different from San Andreas other than bigger location and better graphics? i know san andreas brought a lot of customizing things like weight and haircut and stuff. how does this game expand on the whole thing?

Acrylic Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 i haven't really been following what's going on with this game. what makes it better and different from San Andreas other than bigger location and better graphics? i know san andreas brought a lot of customizing things like weight and haircut and stuff. how does this game expand on the whole thing? Actually the location is smaller. I guess in San Andreas, there's a lot more area, but I guess in GTA IV, theres more life to the environment. Also, I think there's no such thing as weight and haircuts in the game, from what I read. Those things were more tedious than fun, so they decided to cut it out. I think I'm going to get this when I get a PS3 one day. The load times and graphics matter more than multiplayer, considering I don't have the money for live.

Sivy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 there is no customizing with GTA4... which is probably the only negative thing i've heard about it. instead they've concentrated on making a real cinematic storyline and making liberty city feel like a real living and breathing city.

swphreak Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just popping the disc into the 360 as we speak. I have finals today as well. School blows. I want to see some LFers on Live and playing GTAIV! __________________ Ug, my only gripe at the moment is the inability to invert the Y-axis for the camera movement (unless I'm blind and not seeing the option).

coupes. Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have my copy in my hands right now... I this afternoon at work will be a pain. My gamertag is StereoVinny. I don't think I'll play online tonight but you can still add me. (I also play some COD4 and NHL08 on Live) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pho3nix Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 PS3's price tag really grinds my gears at the moment. I almost wept this morning when I realized that I won't be able to play GTA IV for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I fail to see what the attraction of the entire GTA franchise is. I got so bored playing GTA3 I gave up on the second island, what plot there was was just a poor attempt to string together some repetitive driving/shooting missions. I just don't believe this one will be any better (except the graphics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 That's the very reason why everyone seems to love GTA4. Everything I've heard says that the storyline draws you in like no other. For example, I played quite a bit of San Andreas, but when it comes to the actual storyline I barely got into the second area because the most enjoyable part was just screwing around. Seriously, who played any of the GTA3 games for the story? GTA4 is said to have truly realistic characters and have one of the most fluid and like-like environments in ANY game. That, and it uses the Euphoria physics engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Mania Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I can't wait until euphoria replaces character animation altogether. The character would finally be able to step on top of that 3 polygon rock without clipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy clothes, but yeah, that's pretty much where it ends. I don't think there are custom cars, or even hair cuts. Body building in San Andreas was bull, you'd always have zero-fat and 100 muscle after a few days at the and I didn't matter crap. Anyway, Niko is cool. And the physics are awesome. It's all awesome. My sister was watching me play today and she pointed out on the first date with Mitchelle... she must be a cop. New house? Always asking questions about crime? Just moved in? New furniture? Yeah. It's my sister's birthday, she's 15 and she's the only one to have finished San Andreas, so shes somewhat excited for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I usually like to stay away from trailers. And I understand that he talks, but I'm wondering if he speaks Serbian in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
