I had this game on 360in the summer of 08 and I just could not get into it. That's what I said then.Yesterday I decided to pick up GTA4 Complete and nowI believe that the problem was that I wouldn't let myself get into it. I more or lessexpected San Andreas 2 and didn't get it, so I refused to see the good the game offered.Now however I am having a great time with the game I really appreciate the way that GTA has evolved. It's definitely a top tier experience across the board and I am very happy that I decided to give it another shot.

That game was awesome, the ones who didn't like it simply didn't like it. I'm a huge GTA fan and found them all just simply amazing. Every single one.

The story is pretty cliche so far, but I love the camera angles and overall editing of the cut scenes.

That was my exact intial reaction to the game. The main problem I had was that the game is less arcade-ish. The driving is less Burnout and more Forza and there are more consequences for antisocial behavior. You are far more likely to draw attention stealing a car or beating somebody to death and it is considerably more difficult to lose a wanted level without stars placed throughout the city and the fact that a Pay n Spray won't do the trick if there are police nearby.

I adjusted my play style to fit the new rules so to speak and am loving the game this time around.

Yeah, I wish more people were open-minded like you and would give the game a chance. I look around at everyone and I'm just like, "Sorry the game doesn't have awful graphics and that the map doesn't take you 46 hours to drive across... and apologies for the lack of jetpacks" :lol: Seriously, people wanted some cartoon version like the past games, but what Rockstar did with this one really blew my mind within the first five minutes. Incredible gameplay experience.

I bought it in 08 and thought it was boring and the handling on the cars was realistic to the point that it was not fun. I, too, brought the Complete Collection and I still feel the same way. The character movement is terrible clunky, the car handling is not fun to me, and the story is just not captivating enough for me to care. I tried TBoGT and like it's story and characters better, but it still not that grand.

I went to about round 4 with that game (cant say I didnt give it more than its fair share of chances), before I just finally accepted that I dont like it at all.

Robs most regretted PS3 purchases:

1. Black Ops

2. GTA4

I had ROUND 2 a few months ago, but fell short about 3/4 into the game. Its a good concept, but the story didnt draw me in...too many repedative missions and god awful blurryness.

Good job man! GTAIV is often overlooked and criticized for God knows what reason(s), but I think it's the most refreshing GTA since III. Plus the online capability and the expansions add a whole new depth to the GTA experience. I can't wait to see what the next GTA has in store for us!

The second round with it i did this. the first round i got half way through. My third round i beat it but missed some 100% trophies then lost my saved data to corruption:P. I beat it two more times after that to get Liberty City minute and 100% and am glad i beat it once. The last 30 or 20 missions are sooooo repetative it's boring but the ending is worth seeing once. I will admit though. i couldn't do the story again if you payed me. The replay value of the story isn't as much fun as san andreas to me. I'm still trying to get platinum on this though so let me know if anyone is willing to help me with fly the co-op >.
