It's more of a shame that I am only about 40% through the game since I bought it on May 1st and I haven't been playing it recently because of MGS4.

Yeah, the online play can't keep me hooked. I only ever go back to screw around in the city alone or with a friend.

I'm a GTA freak, but GTAIV is the first GTA I've only run through once and have little interest in running through again.
There's something about the game that just doesn't make it replayable.
IMO the multiplayer is broken(especially the lobby) and gets boring after a few plays.
I haven't gotten past level 4 and I'm seriously uninterested in building it any higher.
This patch doesn't fix anything for me. GTAIV's best feature was the single player.

Beware! Angry GTAIV fanboys/girls are on the loose, disagreeing with everybody that *thinks* it isn't the best thing ever since breathing air.

Now I know cp68's continued reaction towards GTA IV is not meant to represent the entire consumer base that has purchased GTAIV, but attitudes like his make me think that the extra xbox 360 DLC for it in the fall is something Sony won't necessarily have to worry about it taking away its potential sales revenue from all its blockbuster titles like Resistence 2 and LBP

I don't know why any of you guys trade in games in the first place. As soon as you take the plastic wrap off of the game as soon as you buy it, the game automatically depreciates at about 58% of its retail value (from $60.00 all the way down to about $25) It's better and smarter just to keep the game for you're collection.

I was trying to complete everything before MGS came out; now that I beat MGS I am going back to beat GTA before I invest more time in MGS

Same as you mindedone.

For me, multiplayer GTA is only really fun if you play with a friend in free mode. I like the airport.

@7.2

Maybe I'd give you some credit if you changed your statement to: "Of course if Halo 2 came out on the ps3 it would be the best game ever. "

It seem that you're obviously some blind fanboy that think Halo 3 is gods gift to us. Go toke on Bill Gates' retired beef stick and stop trolling.

Can you give us a link to a website where we can post about games we don't like? Because I'm a noob, I thought a gaming news site forum would be a good place to express our opinions about different games, but I guess I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance.

What's your problem? Do you have to work yourself so hard to "enjoy" the game that you have to call other people retards for not forcing themselves to love it?
I love MGS4, but when people say they don't like it, I accept it. Everybody has a different taste in games.

The problem with the game is, once you have been through, you have this "been there, done that" feeling. There isn't much to do after the credits - and not everyone likes the online multiplayer. If the people who bought in on XBox360 are as bored with it as the PS3 owners I know, the DLC was a big waste of money for MSFT.

call ppl whatever u want. the online mode is, for all effects, tacked on to the game? why? because if nowaydays some game comes out and OH MY GOD IT DOESN'T HAVE ONLINE modes it automatically sucks. why? to appeal to the YEAH I ROCK I GOT 500 ACHIEVEMENTS/TROPHIES on this game crowd. apart from one mode or two, the other 15 or so are just pointless and no fun. not to mention even playing it with those god forsaken cover/aim controls. and that's the way the cookie crumbles.

WINZLOW - 563 days 17 hours ago
15 - @ TEKNIQUE its the game play
@ Teknique:

reasons why gta sa is better than gta4

lets start off with a simple question. Have you played gta sa ??
it has a lot more to offer. More Weapons, More vehicles, Better vehicle handling.

Lets see, you can pretty much race every vehicle genre there is: you can race the boats, sports cars, quads, dirtbikes, motorcycles, go karts, sand rails, and they also have those vehicles that can operate over water and land (refer to the kill OG LOC mission) planes, and helicopters.

oh yeah theres an advantage, you can fly different classes of aircraft such as jets, different types of heliccopters and planes.

and now that we are talking about flying, you can sky dive and parachute onto any areas of the map and not to mention using the "jetpack" for quick transportation as well.

the government vehicles that you steal such as the police car is capable of doing missions that is based on "wasting criminals"

same goes for the fire truck and ambulance. dispose of fires or help by providing them with transportation to the hospital or they will bleed to death.

taxi cab missions are there too if you steal a taxi cab. run all over the city and pick pedestrians up and escort them to a destination under a particular time frame.

all of these aspets of the game that i have just explained are not even part of the story mode except for the "Kill OG LOC Mission".

you can collect hidden packages which was not implemented into gta4.
you can collect hidden sea shells which was not implemented into gta4.
you can collect hidden horse shoes which was not implemented into gta4
you can find spray painted walls that have rival gang names and spray your gang's name over them in a different color which was not implemented into gta4.

you can do stuff with your money instead of just buying clothes, ringtones, weapons, n food.:

in gta4 all you could do is play clothes and guns right???

in gta sa you can do just that and more. you can buy property all over the map like houses, apartments, condos, a house on a farm. hell even a house with multiple garages. to store your car or bike collection.

once again i come to the same question. Have you played gta sa ???

no let me rephrase my question. Have you fully experienced gta sa????

come on dude the list goes on and on. i can even mod my car so i can have nitro or hydrolex or even a different paint job.

dude do you live under a rock?

you can go to the gym and make your dude have a solid body.....

LOL

gta4 is a x rated russian sims game! They tried to stretch gameplay with that stupid friends crap, that really just pisses you off when you drive through the whole city almost to the marker and "brucie" calls?!?!

i played San Andreas i was one of the first people 2 play the game actually and been playing gta since london so i know the game pretty good u made some good arguments about having having gangs buying property and having full customization on cars parachutes when u dive out of a plane BUT thats were it ends i loved san andreas like the next person but it had MAJOR FLAWS as well and really now i know your trying your hardest 2 have valent arguments but did you really mention collecting horseshoes and sea shells LMAO wow man that was the last thing i did in that game and your complaining about the driving in GTA 4(which is best in the series)so you prefer drifting and superb handling which almost every car in san andreas had perfect handling which was umrealistic u must be one of the kids that traded the game in because you couldnt handle realistic driving lol and you really can set there and tell me that you wasted your time and did the taxi cab and ambulance missions lol and about the hiddin packages there actually in the game but instead of being actual packages there just birds that you have 2 kill implemented the same type of system so u need 2 get your facts im not here 2 say that gta 4 is the best in the series but playing this game and goin back 2 san andreas(which i did and wow has time really past) even with the wealth of things you can do in that game i will give the nod 2 gta 4

GTA-what now?
I haven't popped in my copy of GTAIV for a while. I got distracted and bought Burnout, GRID, and MGS4. I think I was on the very last mission too. Maybe I'll pop it back in again sometime soon.

yes if you must know i own Most Gtas. Sa was on my modded xbox so thats why you dont see it in my avatar and no i didnt trade my gta in. i love them all, i love the franchise and i will continue to buy them. its really sad that you assumed that i traded mine in.

second of all, i enjoyed finding hidden packages dude, its called gaming and what ever you enjoy playing then game on but dont come on here judging books by their covers. theres gamers that enjoy playing pokemon so investing time into games does not mean its wasting time. if it makes you happy then thumbs up.

last but not least, "parachutes when u dive out of a plane BUT thats were it ends" (Teknique1988). its not where it ends, you can race non stop.

i guess you learn something new everyday. you thought i was some complaining gamer that sold my gta4 well i didnt and the disc in my avatar proves it.

ps im not complaining that the diving is horrible in gta4 i just think sa driving is better even though its not realistic.
