Did anyone else get bored with it and not end up finishing it?

I was 50% thru, and then went back to COD4, now waiting for MGS4 in the mail :D

Am I alone in thinking it was overhyped and boring??

I finished it up in about 2 weeks, took my sweet ass time on it :P. I thought it was fun, I've said it before but, I don't like how you can't be as 'rambo-ish' as you could in previous GTA games, but I did definitely enjoy it.

I am going to do the story mode in the summer when there is nobody around. From what I have played so far, it is very good.

I keep going back and forth between it and other games. I really enjoy GTA but sometimes the pacing seems a bit off. Ill finish it sometime, but im realy in no hurry.

When I got it , I played it all the way through. Took about 2 weeks of off and on playing. Don't think I'd be going back to though for awhile. If I ever do. Now that I have MGS4 theres no reason too. But to be honest this is the first GTA I actually finished. So yeah.

It's worth it to finish the game at least once. Just do the story missions and it should be more bearable. Some of them can be really frustrating. There are also a few that were really dramatic and made me think "wow this was a really cool mission". So yea give it a shot to beat it at least once. It took me a few days to beat it. Prolly less than a week. Mgs 4 is really fantastic though. But like other mgs games stealth is key. So I can see how it turns off alot of people.

HA, stealth is only one way of going through MGS. When I find that my ammo is topped off I go on killing sprees. Just so I don't like any pick up, unpicked..up.

I got around half-way through the story missions and stopped playing. I'll get back to it sooner or later, but I've got other games that I would just rather be playing.

No the game is really good, i just love driving in it and the physics when you kill people. Did some vigilante missions last night, yes i have MGS4 and its not as good IMO.

I still play it because it is the best game to be released. People who don't like it are only trying to act cool.

Loved the game, played through twice to enjoy it even more but now i barely play because theres nothin to keep me on it like the older ones i mean it doesnt have proper taxi missions or vigilante or firetruck etc, the pigeons i cba with stuff like that. I go on it when i just wanna blow some stuff up and shoot people for fun. BUT i still think GTA4 is one awesome game the story was brill!

yeah, i'm about halfway through. i'll do it eventually, but the missions are sooo repetitive, i feel as though i've already played them all. it just changes the scene of the transport/shootout/kidnapping/etc.

i was playing cod4 for a while but now i'm playing mgs and it's awesome

I don't play it that much, only to just roam around causing mayhem. I'll go through the main story again at some point, but probably in a few months when I've forgotten what most of the missions were.

It can be hard in parts, but its very fun, I am not anywhere near done myself. When I die on a mission I don't get all angry becuase I have to redo something, because the game is actually fun to play and controls beautifully.

And to those posters who say things like "I played it for an hour and got bored" thats not even really enough time for the game to get going, and its definitely not enough time to judge if you like something.

I played it for a few weeks. Thought it was enjoyable. I eventually got fed up with the lousy save system. It sucks having to repeat the drawn out mundane crap in missions, like driving a delivery van across the city before the action starts. I'm sure I'll finish it sooner or later. But definitely yes, I think it was a bit over-rated.

i beat the game (on 360) but when i realized you couldn't own or manage any business types...or make an empire i was turned off. The online is cool and ill keep it for the DLC, but in the end it will be collecting dust for a long time.

I actually think that San Andreas is better than GTA IV. GTA IV gets sooo boring, I made it to like 20%, haven't played it since.

32 stunt jumps away from 100% completion. Was it as good as everyone said? No. But was it still good? Sure. Don't let your inflated expectations ruin a good thing.
