Arguably the greatest compliment we could give to Grand Theft Auto IV was that it was always fun to play.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
One of my favourite games of all time. If it were not for this game, RDR1, Gta5 and RDR2 wouldn't be the games they were. This game had set the base for Rockstar's modern open living worlds. Also, it still has the best gta story.
People forget the lines around the block for this game when it came out. Articles calling it the greatest technical achievement of the last 10 years bar none.
The TBOGT dlc was perfect.
So weird how opinions can differ so greatly. The greatest compliment (?) I could give it is that it helped redouble my beliefs of not getting wrapped up in hype, giving professional reviews a *healthy* dose of skepticism, & to NEVER preorder.
I wasn't going to get it, but finally bought into the immense hype & near perfect review scores. Preordered a copy the day before release, got it home and...was really underwhelmed. Just really just didn't get it. And it didn't help that things which were said to be much improved, like shooting, still felt exceedingly awkward. It was an impressive open world, but it wasn't filled with anything I found particularly engaging.
But the lesson it taught me has stood the test of time - didn't preorder CP2077, and now I can wait & reward them with a purchase when the game is finally a complete, functional product...and probably save 50% in the process.
My least favourite game in the series.
And yes, I'm including GTA1 and 2.
