GTA4 biggest disappointment of the year?

lets be totally honest with our selves. Had this game been developed by different developers, and had a different name, would it had got so many 10s? the same exact game just a different title, and developers. i think not to be honest.

i would do a poll but i dont know how to lol.

No, that award goes to MGS4, SSBB, and Haze.BioShockOwnz

You're putting SSBB and MSG4 in the same category as Haze?

Not in the same rating category, but yes... they were all disappointments.

Oh, okay.

I was confused there for a moment.

Giancar

Maybe he was never excited about Too Human?

A game is only a disappointment when you think it's going to do well.

Yeah, that's a disappointment, too. I think my typed review expressed that. MGS4, SSBB, Haze, and Too Human. All disappointments!

Nah, most people were already expecting Too Human to fail.

"Extremely hyped" is an exaggeration. That's false. I was on record as saying AA tops.

He's a fanboy for referring to Gamespot's review?

Uh, okay.

[QUOTE="Led_poison"]10.0 says nonerds_return

I'm sorry, that game deserved its 10.0, just because you could not have as much fun in the world as say GTA:SA does not make it a bad game. Rockstar did a great job of presenting, laying out a deep world with a great, humorous storyline filled with lots of satire.

[QUOTE="Led_poison"]10.0 says nonerds_return

Nope, that's reality. The sales and reviews silence the haters. Sure, a few SW fanboys may say otherwise. They may think MGS4 pwnz, and GTA IV is crap, but the majority silences the minority. GTA IV is winning in sales and reviews, despite the hate its given by the loudest bashers.

Extremely hyped is an exaggeration. Don't lie. I was on record as saying AA tops.

you hyped first AAA, then more previews and trailers came, then you hyped 8.5 minimum, in fact you were in a poster's sig hyping TH 8.5 MINIMUM

and yes TH would be a bigger dissapointment than MGS4 (which I don't consider being one) and SSBB (which it has its pros and cons an I can understand some people having a disappointment)

its not a bad game, its a good game, but it its not worth a 10.0. i would honestly rate it as a 9.1.

yes, for a game like this, yes. its a 9+ soley because of the gameplay, but that gets repetitive. Thats its problem, its to repetitive, and i would give it a 3 at best for lasting appeal. Honestly, you do one mission, you've done them all.

and btw, thats not how you spell DISAPPOINTING...

10/10 - "ZOMG! BEST GAME EVAR!"

9/10 - "Great game. Not the best ever though..."

Or, to put it simply, a 9.1 could be considered disappointing depending on how high the bar was set.

Initially I was pretty disappointed but after playing it agian I understand why it got the 10's from every site. Instead of trying to out do Crackdown, Saints Row, or even their own San Andros, they instead reinvented the wheel agian similar to Vice City and the GTA 3 series. GTA 4 just simply changes how we view sandbox games and puts in the middle of something very linier like Mafia for the PC and something very open world like GTA and spun it with a more realistic tone. What you get is essentially a game version of The Godfather (and not that EA game thats different) Where it's more of a crime drama then anything else. You get seriosly involved with the characters in the game by going out on dates with them or hanging out. This may seem a little gimmicky at first but once you hit the point where you have to choose who lives or dies, it makes those decisions very tough because you know both of these characters really well and somethimes you wish there was another way. I'll be honost that I drove for 30 minutes at the end of the game just thinking which choice I wanted to make, and thinking about it really hard, and no game has really done that to the very extent of GTA where you feel as these choices have very big impact on whats going to happen next. Simply put if you were looking for a sandboxy kinda wacky fun game, you were looking in the wrong direction. GTA 4 is simply Rockstars reply saying "We don't outdo our compitition, we just change the playing field." And by doing this they made their game simply timeless.

Anyone can put more features or more options or more cars, guns, explosions, ect. ect. in their free roaming game than GTA 4, but it takes real talent and real skill to out do GTA 4's characters, story, execution, and dialog. In doing that, it means that GTA 4 is not fantastic because it puts more stuff then the next guy, it does more to games and how games are shown then the next guy, and for that it will become one of the greatest games of all time.

For the people that feel that GTA 4 is not good because it doesn't have that wacky fun flavor, all i have to say is that you aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate what it does. And that is prefectly fine, but for me and I think a lot of reviewers, it more than explosions, guns, millitary vehicles that makes a fantastic action adventure as GTA 4.

but c'mon. The level of detail, story, and mission (all arent the same) are just "epic". Never have I felt part of a city in a video game like gta4 made me feel. Also, it has good game play and is a very long game unlike many today. It deserved every 10 it got. MGS, I dont understand how that game got a 10.

yes im serious. Are you serious??? How was it repetitive? The game gave you choices and every mission wasnt the same.

Nope, not at all. I went in expecting a great game, not a perfect one, and that's what I got. I didn't let myself get intoxicated by all the 10's and I wasn't disapointed. It's not without its flaws and frustrations, and after finishing the single player campaign I knew I wouldn't be touching the game again for a LONG time, but the 50 hours I spent with the game was more positive than negative.

The biggest disapointments of the year got to Too Human and Haze. Even if you were disapointed by GTA IV, those other 2 are not even close to being in the same league.

yea its so SO overhyped,San andreas had more replay value,after you beat the game its..its boringSony-tha-champ0

Yep.
