About GTA4, I think:
The radio stations are too short ( or limited) to cover the massive world that the game offers. I think Rockstar should make DLC to enhance a few of these things ( T.V channels, gear, etc.)
The "dating" thing IS annoying. I mean, there's so much to do, yet you feel pressured to go on dates and drive drunk with Roman ( which makes me dizzy) and it has no 'real' significance to the story. Annoying areas of gameplay depletes the interest of the gamer after a while.
And although we got the great gameplay and graphics, deep down inside, we also wanted a good story to compliment the overall experience. The reason most lose interest is because the story goes nowhere, fast, unfortunately.
One of the best things GTA4 has going is the online community. It's much more exciting playing online. But even with it's flaws, it's still one of the more entertaining games this year, nonetheless.
And of all the things I mentioned, there are games out there ( with a lesser production value) that do include these features and standard expectations. Maybe it sounds like I'm complaining, but I just thought that RS would keep up with the game, like DLC that installs new stations that have relative and fresh material. Maybe new music ( since the overall list IS short, and we can't use our own XMB music). Decorating the city or adjusting the weather to reflect the seasons would have been sexy...
I think this would have had gamers playing longer than what they actually did...
