The only explanation I can give you is Rockstar paid every reveiwer out there to give this game perfect ratings.. Either that or most reviewers are a bunch of graphics whores and scored it a 10 solely based on eye candy alone and maybe the OMG new gta game hype factor because there is no way in a million bazillion cartrillion light years that GTA4 deserves a 10 score. Don't make me laugh all you reveiwers out there. You fail. Rockstar lined your pockets with gold and you did exactly what was ordered.

GTA4 is a solid 7.5. Thats what it deserves. Nothing more, nothing less. Ofcourse rockstar could pay me to change my mind.

Because the game doesn't become completely useless until to beat the SP, and I'm pretty sure that's all most reviewers did. The single player campaign is pretty awesome, it's only after that the game becomes really boring. The multiplayer was fun for the first fews games but got boring pretty fast.

Truth hurts? Your favorite game is only a 7.5 sorry to say. Coming from a real gamer with some honest taste.

GTA4 was and is amazing, regardless of what lame people say who hate anything that's on top.

It's not necessarily a 10, but it's worth a 9.5 or 9.0 if you choose to nitpick. It could've been a 10 if they kept all the fun San Andreas stuff, but after you beat the main storyline, it feels like there's not much else to do, where as in San Andreas I had fun for a while putting on the invincible cars cheat and flying the harrier jet crashing into everything in Los Angeles.

I love the more realistic approach for GTA4, but it's just not as fun, and there were barely any codes plus the codes are harder to enter. Imagine all those pedestrian cheats from the previous GTA with the new physics system, it would be insane but they didn't go that route unfortunately. If they can mix realism with that fun stuff from last-gen it could be a 10 as far as i'm concerned.

Your truth is not my truth, as opinions are just that. Opinions.

And how am I not a real gamer? Gaming since the Intellivision makes me a fake gamer?

And you seriously believe that Rockstar (or any company) bribes every reviewer out there?

No not all companies, Rockstar and Bungie however. Halo 3 and GTA4 just wearn't that great. How in gods name then did they recieve the scores they got is beyond me but if I could guess I would go with the fact that the reviewers sold there souls to rockstar and bungie for a large sum of money.

Why would Rockstar and Bungie pay for better scoring reviews? I'll tell you. Theres no way in hell there going to let negative scores slide for an already bound to sell well game, theres just too much money involved in making these games. They just have to sell well no matter what and if that means paying for better reveiw scores then so be it.

[QUOTE="pseudocaesar"]Worlds most overrated game, alongside Halo and CS. I was morbidly disapointed in it.fakecliche

Nah, MGS4 is far more overrated than GTA, Halo, and CS.

MGS4 deserved a 9.5 highest because it had the worst multiplayer I've ever played. The single player was mind blowing though.

massive hype train. It's good, but it's not 10/10 good.

Actually, they were great. And they didn't pay off the reviewers. Why wouldn't they pay off the reviewers? Because they already have amazing games. See how easy it is to counter opinions and baseless accusations?

That, and the fact that both games were going to sell millions of copies regardless of reviews.

Games that are less high-profile are the games that need good reviews for the boost.

I think the broken cover system in GTAIV is really what hurt the experience for me. On top of that the lack of mid-mission checkpoints force you to replay huge chunks of missions that you've already completed. Any way you look at it, GTAIV's got way too many serious flaws to be a 10/10 game. And the structure-less, strategy-less multiplayer does nothing to redeem it.

You countered my opinion with an even more worthless opinion congrats. Except my opinion probably holds some truth, even if it is just a guess. HALO3 is just another generic FPS game and GTA4 is just a dumbed down sandbox game with shoddy controls and serverely lacking in content.

Sorry I've always believed people can have better opinions than eachother. This just so happens to be the case right now. My opinion > your opinion.

I dunno. It's not my place to question the ways of god. Perhaps some of us are just lucky enough to be born with opinions that nearly break the boundries of being fact. I consider nearly all my opinions to be that of a fact. Anybody that disagrees with me is clearly lacking in taste.

Well you will get to know the real score that gamespot would give GTA IV soon enough when they release the PC version. Considering the PC version's graphics are going to be significantly better, along with major improvements like a video player, the PC version should in essence get the 10 score at least. But in reality it won't, it will get the "un hyped" score. They will probably cite a few reasons like a crash here or there, or maybe easier gameplay with mouse/ keyboard. But in reality it will be the "hypeless" score.

Well, To me MGS4 is the GREATEST GAME I EVER played in 40 years so was that hype? No.

its just an opinion so it doesnt matter, to GameSpot its a 10 in their eyes as MGS4 is a 1000000000000000/5 to mine.

as i said its just how i see it both are 8's in my book

MGS3>>>> mgs4 once more too me
