Not much to say on this that you already shouldn’t know but so far (After 13 reviews) it has a 99.3% score on game rankings, not to shabby.

Anybody who says this game is overrated gets killed instantly. It's highly rated, but it honestly deserves it.
I'll probably pick it up in a few weeks, ordering it on amazon so my parents dont ***** at me :B Cuz once I have it, they cant sent it back.

it basically yet another patch for GTA 3, still a very good game but underseving of all the perfect scores its getting, like certain other recent titles *cough*halo 3 *cough*Mario Galaxy*cough*

Worry not, young grasshopper. All the high reviews it's getting are from UK XBox 360 Magazines. Something is wrong there.

And I'll be honest, while the "premise" of the GTA series has never been appealing for me, I've watched a number of gameplay videos and I'm really starting to appreciate just how vast Liberty City is, and just how much there is to do. As a gamer, I really can appreciate the sheer ingenuity it must have taken to bring the city to life.

Anyhow, I've never been a huge fan of GTA, but I would REALLY like to give this game a go. Still, I probably wouldn't like it much more than previous GTA's. But, like GL, I can appreciate the greatness of the game.

Seeing the graphics on this game is amazing. I know it's on the XBox 360 and the PS3, but I still didn't quite expect a GTA game to have graphics like IV does.

Mhmm, right. You defend every single move Nintendo makes and never admit to making faults. I dont love microsoft, I love the games for 360. So you could say i'm a Valve fanboy, a Ubisoft fanboy, a Bungie fanboy too.

@Caael: You like the name Niko, huh? Although it's not a Serbian name, it does mean something: nobody. Which is true, Niko Bellic is a nobody at the start of the game.
And who deleted my 'Niko is not amused' post?! :joy: It was funny...
EDIT: From Wikipedia: Niko Bellic, a merchant mariner and Serbian vet of the Bosnian civil war. I just noticed how stupid that is, considering Serbia doesn't have any opening to any sea. They REALLY should have researched a bit. Then again, maybe he didn't actually live in Serbia... Can anyone playing the game tell me what he actually is?
#55
Posted 30 April 2008 - 02:49 PM
From the article -
He's Russian with a Yugoslavian surname. He's a merchant mariner because he claims to do trade with the Caribbean market. His career is not related to where he lives.
This is of course pure speculation, but the evidence points towards this.

The thing with GTA though is that it's never too serious. It's realistic, but kind of not. If you get what I mean. The setting is realistic, the story is realistic but it has that 'slapstick' nature to it, and totally out of this world situations, like 1 man taking on the army in a helicopter. The people who take it too seriously are the haters.

I got the game Saturday, and I can safely say it kicks ***.
Shooting people is still hella fun, and has been inpromed dramatically.
Warning lvl's are harder to obtain, but stay with you for longer.
My only major beef, is the fact that EVERY car drifts an insane ammount, on even the smallest of turns.
The people that Niko ****'s with, are straight up crazy. One dude blew out one of his lackie's brains, just for the fun of it. This is also the same dude who sniffs blow everytime you see him.

The funnist thing happened to me and Tom earlier. I saw a Red banshee with a white stripe down the middle (Tom's favourite car) and I killed the driver so Tom could have it. When Tom came up to it, the driver came back to life, drove about 20 metres and crashed and died again. Was the funniest thing thats ever happened on GTA.

The GTA IV Commandments for Free Play
1. Dont shoot each other, except when doing so would be hilarious
2. If one of your friends is stranded away from the rest of you without a vehicle, go pick him up
3. If one of your friends is coming to pick you up, run for your life. You WILL be hit
4. IF somebody has an idea they need your cooperation for, do it. If more than one person has an idea, do the most dangerous one.
5. In the grand scheme of things, stabbing a friend in the face does really very little damage and the comic value is more than worth it
6. If the vehicle you and your friends are riding in is on fire, it's polite to inform them before jumping out
7. If you survive a heli crash, destroy the remains to eradicate evidence
8. passengers: inform the driver of your vehicle before you drop a grenade from the window. he may be about to park
9. If a friend tells you that you can press Y to switch weapons in a helicopter, they are no longer your friend
10. Everything is funnier when you do it on a bus
