GTA IV? WAS IT REALLY THAT BAD!(?)

  
Mafiya Work mode delivered

 I'm sure most of you followed the months leading up to rockstar north's grand theft auto IV.Their were rumors that the game would have online play,take place in an entire country instead of just one individual city, and even become a full-fledged MMORPG! It seems like only of these rumors was correct but if you look beneath the surface you might find the MMORGP we all dreamed of in mafiya work mode. If your one of the people out their decrying GTA's expanded production values , cheesy story lines, and wish that the current grand theft auto's resembled the first two in the series then i strongly recommend that you give mafiya work a try if you haven't already or give it another go.

When the contact was issuing my mission instructions i couldn't help but remember the  talking head that popped up on the screen during early iterations of GTA. But the best thing was i didn't have to do these missions at all i could just wander the city[their were restrictions on where you could go;however, based on the host's discretion],and do whatever i pleased. Now, i understand that there is a free mode option available in GTA iv but the free mode is limited in what you can do besides just killing each other.

Mafiya work gives you the freedom if you become bored with just roaming the city to decide whether you want a more linear mision experience just like in GTA I, and GTA II. When playing mafiya mode i feel like i am playing an HD remake of GTAII with real people, the craziness is tuned up because of online play. Mafiya mode delivered the MMORG that people were hoping for it just wasn't the grand theft auto game in the series they were expecting.

more than the content. I remember that most GTA games in the past looked like crap but they had tons of places to explore and loads of things to do. GTA4 was for me an AAA game just not a 10/10 type of game like most sources made it out to be. They were also tied up with making the multiplayer portion of the game which is huge.

GTA4 wasn't bad or lazy,it was just boring.

Thats how far I got before I took it out of my PS3 and never looked at it again. Well I did try to sell it but no one wanted it...

[masterofpuppets]

9/10

gta 4 was like 8.5 imo

it was rushed,it wasn't complete,it needs more work

tweaking controls,gameplay,intensity,ai ming,framrate,driving,AI

gta 4 was like 60% complete if you ask me

gameplay is heavy,unresponsive,realistic and slow,R north this is gta

if the gameplay in gta 4 was fast,smooth,masterful and over the top,gta 4 might end up the greatest game of this generation,cause everything was there,the city is the best ever,niko bellec is a character to remember for years,radio stations were masterful,has that special gta feeling,voice acting is awesome,euphoria engine adds new layer in gameplay,amazing story,high production values etc..

R,please take your time next time

please

gta is one of my favorite games ever and one the main reasons why I play games

good luck north :)

it is a great gaming accomplishment...wow...i think when GTA 5 is released, gamers will truly appreciate the foundation Rockstar created for this generation of GTA games...not a 10/10, but what game truly is? Niko is an amazing character...good times, Rockstar, good times :)

No it want that bad just that the hype train was so high it was a unattainable level. I loved the game to be honest.

[nurdeens]

the problem i have with GTAIV is that there isn't a really big difference between it and sanandreas besides graphics and using the taxi to get around places. I mean the missions are practically the same with sanandreas. And the driving is horrible!!

Mafiya?

You mean....Mafia.

[tojfs7931]

It was really. THAT. BAD.

[youtubeline]
