From the grpahics to the atmosphere. Its a hell of a game and deserves more than what it gets (In SW). I can feel if someone doesn't think its the best game this gen but what I find annoying is someone saying its absolutely garbage. How can you say that?

It really is a fantastic game all around. Much more polished and refined than previous GTA's.

I could see their point. After you finish the SP and play around with the MP a bit, there is not a whole lot that kept me entertained, but the SP was so good, I didn't care too much, as it was still plenty of game for the money.

I didn't like the SP. It wasn't fun, and it was way to repetative...

lack of crazy missions, lack of crazy weapons, lack of crazy cheats, lack of memorable characters, Roman being so annoying, phone calls, ralism being boring, and so on...I have debated this a ton of times

I'm not saying it's not worth playing it, but it's not a 10 in my book definately

Edit: MP was crap too IMO, and that was a selling point for me

Decent storyline and gameplay, no content after you finish the game. It's good for a rental, but if you're looking for a game that you can enjoy for a long time don't grab GTAIV. It's just good for one play through, since the end game content is nonexistent

Good game, but hardly should even be in the running for GOTY.

cell phone simulator, slow sluggish controls.

also they made it too real. Realism is good in a game, but too much of it and the game will put ppl to sleep. a game with no realism at all will be totally crazy, but things can fall out of hand... there needs to be a certain balance in certain games. the past GTA had the right balance, but GTA4 changed it. it's a good game, but thats it. i got bored playing it in a few hours honestly

Yeah its your opinion but I hate it when people say its not even worth playing.

alot of fanboys/haters bash it ... they probably didn't even play it... or they did but they didn't go far into the game. But then again, we can't count out the few percentage that just did not like it. But the people that do not like it probably will have good reasons to back up their claim. I don't like those idiots that just say something sucks but fail to explain why.

I've seen however some people saying they loved the other GTA's but when asked about IV they say there wasn't anything to do after the missions. Umm.. what was there after you had done the SP in the other games?

Parachuting, interesting cheats, side missions, exploring (GTA IV was too condensed, no real need to explore), tons of side missions, actual piloting rather than just a helicopter.

Its all right. But not all that great. Many games get marks knocked off for doing the same as the last game, yet GTA does not. Every time its really fun to start with, then yoou remember its just like the last one and it gets boring.

The game deserved a 9, 9.5 if you want, but not 10.

I found the piloting rather bland in San Andreas, theres lots of side missions as well in GTA IV (races, Little Jacob etc) and I really spent a lot of time exploring the city as it looks beautiful.

If you don't own a PS3 and haven't played MGS 4 I could understand why you say this.... a little. I thought the game was terrible myself.

Agreed. Most overrated game this gen.

me too. i just can't stand how much ppl overate this game. it's a downgraded GTA with better graphics and a kickazz story. that's pretty much it.

oh and i also dont see why SMG is called game of the gen. lol seriously? im a big fan of nintendo games(thats why i have a wii), and i think the game was fantastic. but for it to be game of the year? for what? being the same old mario but with motion controls and a space setting? it was awesome, but it wasn't revolutionary in any way...

and i guess you guys wanna hear my opinion on MGS4? haha. well i have a ps3 too(and IM LOVIN IT), but that's one of the games ive forced myself not to get(i tried it at my friends house tho). ive never gotten far in the past titles, but i love the story. i basically read from wikipedia, or my uncle tells me about it. so im not much of a fan, i know the story well, and ive only tried MGS4's multiplayer. it's really fun. but game of the year? i dunno i havent gotten far into it

GTA4 is a good game, but I don't even think it has what it takes to win GoTY let alone say it's the best game this gen. I think Bioshock kills GTA4, I think Fallout 3 kills GTA4 & there's several more titles coming here in the next few days that I could possibly like even more than GTA4. Hell, even Saints Row 2 was like 100x more fun to play IMO.

I've played a huge chunk of MGS 4 and it is a wonderful game and everything but I hate cut-scenes in any game which is the reason why it is IMO the third best game this gen. (Second being SMG)

If you don't own a PS3 and haven't played MGS 4 I could understand why you say this.... a little. I thought the game was terrible myself.

What I said in the other thread: I loved GTA IV. I don't think it deserved a 10, but then again, no game deserves a 10 imo. The presentation is best this generation. Driving down a bridge at midnight with the rain pouring felt amazing. The controls were the best out of all the GTA's. Shooting felt good. Driving had a bit of a learning curve to it because of the new physics engine, but once you got used to it, it felt right. The story was the best in the series Niko was a very good protagonist, Roman was an interesting character, Little Jacob was funny, and Dimitri was an ass. The choices you had to take were very well done, although it would have been better if there were more of them. The features were good, not great. It lacked things like buying hideouts and a variety of side missions the previous games had. Hopefully the dlc fixes this. The realism they were going for is probably the reason why the wacky mini games and side missions were taken out. The multiplayer was alright. 16 player free roam was fun, but I would have preferred 2 or more player co-op throughout the entire game. The game modes weren't all that great aside from one. Cops and Crooks. When this gametype played out right, working together to protect (or take out) the boss was really fun. Speeding down the highway with three other people in your car and the cops chasing you was really intense. Especially when the objective is a boat and you end up trying to swim to it after crashing your car off the bridge before it blows up. Was it the best GTA? Probably not (Vice City>San Andreas=IV>III). Was it the best made GTA game? Without a doubt.

For the little amount of time I played it ( I will play it more once they release it on the pc :\ ). I think the change to a realistic game with a The Sims spicy sauce make the game pointless. Half your mission is to bring one of your friend or your family member somewhere and pretend yourself you are having fun. I don't play life-simulator, if I want a life I can just go outside.

It was a good game, but I felt the gameplay could have used more creativity. Were are my extra side jobs, or crazy upgrades. How about gangs?. I felt like after I beat the game there was little incentive to continue. I wanted to have a way to add guns, and crazy stuff to vehicles. How awesome would it be if there was stuff like that which unlocked after you beat the game?

I hope the DLC adds some things like that. I was really disaponted with the lack of customization. There were only 10 clothes options, and 5 looked decent.

no, It just got very boring :(

After the main quest anyway. It was a fun ride for a while IMO....but in the end I felt cheated out of 60 bucks.

Meanwhile I beat mario galaxy twice with both Mario and Luigi and loved almost every second of it.
