GTA 4 Ending... Seriously?? *spoilers*

Is there another ending to this game? I just completed the story mode but is there a different ending to the game once you get 100% complete?? I purchased that game on it's launch date and just beat it 2 days ago b/c at times it felt like a chore to do some of the missions. I just played and beatother games that were fun and a lot less reptitive (including Saints Row 2). Is it me or are a good 80% of the missions just driving somewhereto kill someone?? I did enjoy 4 Leaf Clover, though. But the ending was LAME!! How can some of you consider the game a 10/10 with an ending like that? Please tell me how you can justify a game being perfect withthe corny ending gta4 had. I was extremely disappointed in this game as a whole. On the other hand, Saints Row 2 disappointed me in very few areas...

Oh well. Essentially what you are saying is that there is something within you that prevents you from enjoying what GTA IV has to offer, the same way there is something within me (let's call it good taste) that prevents me from liking Saints Row 2. Also there are two endings I believe, for GTA IV.

There are 2 endings... One where you get revenge... and Kate dies... the other where you take the deal... and Roman dies...

I think it's the other way around b/c I took the money and Roman got killed. sourcerah

Great gameplay, great graphics, the story had so much potential but it failed.

Vice City and San Andreas had much better stories, but I guess you cant have everything:-/

GTA IV; Lamest GTA ever made (except 1 and 2 IMO).

I traded it in, after completing 30% of it.

Pick the ending where Roman dies! He is the most annoying character in the history of media.

I played the Roman-Dies ending. Although the ending was disappointing, I still thouroughly enjoyed the rest of the game.

The 10/10 was well deserved, in my view.

It can be repetetive, yes, but only because the story mode is long. It took me like 40 hours to beat the game. So, on average someone can do like five missions an hour (hard ones). Its only an estimate, but that would mean around 200 missions in the game. Come on! ... how could a developer not make similar missions?

IDK how the hell you people can like San Andreas better than GTA IV?:|

There's just more to do in San Andreas...

[QUOTE="sourcerah"]Maybe you should just accept that you don't like this game then, I dunno lol.Hotwire246

How could you think the ending was bad? I thought BOTH of them were very exceptional, and very satisfying considering you... ### SPOILER###... kill Dimitri. I loved the game throughly, never got bored, and thought that it deserved a 9.5/10, not a 10 because nothing is " perfect". The graphics were outstanding ( Cmon! Have you seen Liberty City at night?) , the story was probably one of the best on the 360, and the gameplay was pretty darn good.

Are your standards that low?sourcerah

gameplay wise it was one of the best final missions ive ever played. you get to do all the cool things in one mission(drive a chopper,chase someone in a fastboat or bike,shoot, chase someone on foot and car ) as for the story its everyones opinion, i liked it though

Vice City is about building your way from nothing to big ****, much more entertaining than some scrub getting off a boat, running from hiding place to hiding place doing everyones scrub jobs. Revenge and redemption? The whole "mystery event of the past" thing was so anti-climactic it was unreal, cry more Niko, cry more.

(And your dead on on San Andreas, for some reason I was getting it mixed up with another game apparently XD)

agreed, I really don't know why I still have the game lol

Well GTA IV was a great game overall(you steal cars to drive to a certain place to kill someone hence your a hired gun)The story was great because not only was niko an ex soilder but he did a lot of side jobs like sell,smuggle and kill people.There were many choices you could make such as leave dwyane girlfriend alive or dwyane himself.If you didnt like the main story you could play pool,race,playquebo to get certain achivevements.10/10 because the story is awesome and the multiplayer is great and so is the add on.Sure the ending was a little stale but that gves you room to get achievements for your gamerscore.

The extra stuff in San Andreas also gets old,like parachuting off a building.That gets old after the first jump.

When you compare the activities and features found in GTA:SA and GTA4... then GTA4 seems to lack quite a bit... San Andreas had RPG elements in the game. Building up your character, his rep, appearance, fighting styles, driving skills, shooting skills etc..., more variety of vehicles: Planes, bycicles, hovercrafts, street sweepers, and not only are there more vehicle types, but cars can be modified as well.

the GTA series was popular because of its sandbox mechanic, GTA4 doesn't expand much upon this formula. The little details are cool and interesting, but it's not enough to keep playing with.

I'm sure the entire game was built from the ground up as a next gen title, so I guess it would be more fair to compare GTA4 with GTA3...but that didn't keep me from enjoying San Andreas more.

I loved GTA4 from start to finish, but I have to admit for a perfect game the ending wasn't up to the standard of the rest of the game but still beter then most games. For em it wasn't just the story but also the controls and physics that made the game 10/10. After finishing GTA4 I got Sr2 and I hated every minute of it, it wasn't nearly as good looking as the first, it wasn't nearly as fun to play and it also played like ****. I consider it a unplayable game after you've experienced GTA4.

For everyone here who likes awesome video games, take heed tomy message. GTA IV The Lost and Damned was the best entry into the series. Easily one of the best cinematic experiences gaming has to offer. I hated GTA IV as well because of the amount of repitition. But TLAD is all fresh, even the multiplayer is awesome. It would be groundbreaking multiplayer if it did not have the stigma of being DLC. One of my favorite gaming experiences to date. Rockstar really nailed this one.

As for the "80%+" mission garbage.........well I didn't mind what the missions were in GTA IV, the story was interesting and it kept me wanting to explore and to do the missions, just to see what would happen.

So I guess I would say, yes, the ending was quality in my highly esteemed, sophisticated opinion.

[QUOTE="sourcerah"]Are your standards that low?Morning_Revival

I was being facetious, I didn't actually think that you could "enlighten" me. And what do you mean by "80%+ mission garbage"? Were you playing the same gta4 as the rest of us? Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't 80% of the missions involve driving/running/jogging/flying somewhere to kill someone? How can you like a game that repeats itself so many time??sourcerah

Did you not read what I wrote? The reason I was enjoying the missions, was because the story elements made it intruiging, I was having a great time doing the missions in order to progress the story and since the story was so exciting and well told, the fact that the missions didn't stray to far from one another didn't bother me. Maybe I repeated myself enough times to actually sink in. THAT is how I can like a game like that, as can many other people.

Exactly.

Reading the excerpt of a book, do you find yourself having fun? Most often, no.

^^^^^ what does that have to do with anything that has been said in this thread???^^^^sourcerah

Hahahaha. Agreed.
