Me. Renting it. It's sandbox, I'll play it for a few hours and get bored, there isn't much of a plot, so not much for me to get excited about. I may consider purchasing a PC version if it comes out. Mods pwn!!

Isn't much of a plot? GTA games usually have great story-lines filled with tons of humor and references to classic gangster movies.

It has nearly unlimited replay value and it also has great multiplayer modes.

I like the GTA games on the Playstation better, so I'll pick it up for that when I get one. I'd rather just fully enjoy it without the achievements because imo they make you rush the game just to get a few points.

Not much of a plot?!!! Are you kidding? You can't be serious unless all you did was sandbox instead of actually completing the missions. GTA games have the best stories ever!

You do now the PS3 version will make use of achievements aswell, they are called rip-off achievements but they work in the same way. And what makes the PS3 version better? I know a lot of 360 fanboys have 100 quotes from developers about why the 360 version is better and 90% of all previews agree, but that means nothing I know. For me it's the 360 controller that is going to make it a lot more enjoyable, old GTA games were build for the PS3 controls and didnt use both thumbsticks because they just hurt your hands on the PS2. But GTA4 will use both, so what's your reason to get the PS3 version if you own a 360 (exclusive DLC anyone?)

I will not be getting it... I never really got into the theme. I am not a huge fan of ganster/mobster movies. No denying that it will be quite the game for fans of the genre and series, so have a blast when its released.

GTA has the most detailed and entertaining plots in any game ever made.

I'm not. I grew up that is why. I am no longer interested in Russian Gangsters picking up whores, killing random people on the street and stealing cars. I never really liked the other versions though (got old fast). On top of that, the story lines are always really lame.

Oh please, you obviously never played a GTA game

You never pick up prostitutes and kill random people for the real game or storyline. It's a choice to do that, all up to the player.

I didnt really like GTA Vice City. I'm not a big fan of sandbox games, although as a kid back in the days, I always thought I would. I'll get GTA 4 because I trust it'll be different. It's next-gen and they added some new things. I just have a feeling I'll enjoy it this time around. But I haven't been hyped up at all for this game. If it comes out, it comes out, if not, I wouldn't even realize it.

It has a very deep plot, especially in this one. The missions wont be nearly as repetitive. You crazy.

I'm just not all that excited. Maybe I've grown past it, maybe San Andreas was just boring to the point of damaging the good name of GTA. At least I understand why GTA4 is popular, unlike other AAA titles (Halo and Gears, looking at you).

No way will I buy it because I'm not into games with no stories where all you do is roam the streets shooting and running over people with cars, but if I hear good things I might rent it, although I heard good things about san andreas too and that turned out to be a big mistake.

Uh, not one GTA game has had anything remotely resembling a sensible plot, but I cant speak for this one yet, but I'd say with the others being so lacking in most areas theres a good chance that this one probably will be too.

It is fun to drive around and stuff and the storyline is actually pretty good and funny.

Try it out and get far into it.

Yes I've played and finished all of them only because after a while I end up renting them, and yet I still realize how lame they are no story, crappy graphics, and horrible gameplay. There has yet to be a good free roam game released on a console that I know of (excluding some RPGs that might be considered part free roam), and thats a shame because Free Roam has potential it just has used it yet.

Me. I wont be getting it as I've never liked a GTA Game since the original 2d one. No doubt I'll get bored of it after a couple of hours and end up trading it in like I have since GTA 3 onwards. Just not my type of game.

i am definitely buying it because GTA San Andreas was one of the most long lasting and fun games i have ever had. Whilst the graphics were nothing special, the gameplay and storyline were absolutely excellent. I also thorougly enjoyed vice city and GTA 3. All the people saying the storylines are non existant obviously haven't played through a GTA game. All the people who don't like it are CRAZY!!! (j/k)

Ha, I did play all the real games and DIDN'T play much of the story line (as I said, repetative and boring). I spent my time driving around, stealing cars, killing people and raping police

I'm not sure. Unless it's very different from SA, I probably won't. I would end up spending so much time on it, missing out on other games while playing an updated version. I'm sure it will be great, but until I read the reviews nothing's set in stone yet.

what's not to like about this game its a must own great stories, big exploration of cities, guns, cars, lots of people, legal (meaning you can do on game and not affect your life) endless violence basically all that adds up for endless amount of fun.

I'm not getting it. I was never really into the GTA series. I bought Vice City and San Andreas, played a few missions, got distracted by just stealing cars, killing people, and causing mayhem, and then I stopped playing.

I am not getting it for the same reason that I traded in Halo 3...the game jsut doesn't appeal to me. I bought into the hype back when GTA3 came out and figured it would be a cool game to play. After a while I just at thee and thought when will I start having a fun time playing. Unfortunately it never happened and I traded it in. I realized at that point that the GTA franchise just isn't something that appeals to me and isn't the kind of game I prefer to play.

So what your saying is you've never played any other game outside the GTA series?

P.S. Try to sense the oh so subtle sarcasm.

Ya I guess you don't like additional content and features only for the 360. I used to prefer it on the ps but I don't like the controller and can't trust the online with ps3

Uh FPS have you kill people all the time. Uh oh gotta kill digital bad people! It's called it's fun just a game so what games have you killed people in? You're saying it's crazy to kill "innonect" people when they aren't real. So do you only kill those bad fake people?

If you think these games had good storylines, you have apparently never opened a book in your life. They have fun gameplay but the storyline is horrible. Vice city is the only one that even tries at a storyline.
