Upon release of GTA IV, the Rockstar writing crew received an excessive amount of praise for the creation of Niko Bellic. Two years later, many people have realized that there was a huge disconnect between the game play and the character of Niko. How can this man, who wants to have a different life in America, kill hundreds of cops and even some men that he has called his friends? Subsequent releases of The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony did little to correct the problem.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Rockstar Games may be preparing to release its open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 1, on PC.
There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.
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.
In a way I agree, that bank robbery mission in GTA4 along with a few others basically forced you to kill more than a few cops in order to complete them. It wouldn't be such a big "disconnect" if Niko was like one of the main characters from Kane and Lynch, but he was a character that showed emotions. Still, Rockstar has no control over what the player does aside from the missions, so in my opinion, it's all acceptable.
I did find it strange that John Marston was willing to kill thousands of frontiersmen, rebels, and government officials to protect his family. Now THAT'S sociopathic behavior...
Better question: Why don't journalists ever catch these disconnects in Rockstar games?
Because Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear, etc...they all get away with murder with these giddy journalists.
the game was entertaining as hell.....the operative word being "game"....
