"Poll" Did you like GTA 4

With Gta 5 around the corner I wanna know how system wars felt about GTA4. It scored a 10 on this site and that was the score that got me to stop taking critic scores seriously. I believed GTA 4 got a 10 just because of its name recognition because that was not a 10 game. Had alot of problems and it just wasn't engaging like the other ones. 

My favourite GTA, and one of the best games of last gen.

while vice city is my favorite, this would be number two.

I liked it but it was no where as good as many people seem to say. It was simply alright. 

Of course. One of the best games ever made.

I loved it at release. Hopefully the story is good this time around, it was just bad in GTA4. LustForSoul

man I must have been playing a different game then the rest of you guys. This is very interesting 

I really liked it.

I liked it but I didn't love it. I hated the setting and the characters and I thought it took itself too seriously. The engine was remarkeable though and the physics are so much fvcking fun

Yes. but I didn't complete it, it was also in 2011, so the dated graphics weren't helping. Pretty big game though.

Nope.

I thought the story was terribly lazy with the same old immigrant comes to america, gets into shit. Considering I am a fan of crime fiction books Id seen the damn near exact same story dozens of times where a eastern european guy comes to america, meets his brother already here that pictures himself a big shot when he isnt, marriage massacre, gets in some shit with black gangs blah blah. GTA4 was just a rip off of 2 or maybe 3 lesser known crime novels.

I got sick of people constantly calling me.

I got sick of having to drive people around constantly.

I hated how they gave you this gigantic huge ass city, but you only actually see maybe 7% of it when playing the story. If you just go exploring on your own you find out there is not point to going to the rest of city because its lifeless and dead aside from some manequins that walk around.

I got sick of having to spend all my time driving back and fourth through the cities just to advance a storyline a little bit.

I got sick of the piss poor combat gameplay.

I got sick of the radio stations real fast.

I hated how predictible the whole game was.

I hated how it was basically just like the previous 2 or 3 GTA games only with a new coat of paint.

Hmmmmmmm come to think of it, maybe I just dont like GTA games and thats my problem. I was trying to enjoy something I just dont enjoy.

Screw it, Ill pick up 5 in a year or so when its cheap.

Yes it was a great game.

Nope.

Tis my personal GOTG as of right now.

Will likely be replaced by GTAV.

Story was great, completed it for that.  When I had, I looked at the achievement list, turned it off and never played again. Why? The gameplay was awful.

I liked it though so a yes from me.

I fuking hated GTA4.... Couldnt even finish it.  everything about it was blah to the extreme.  

and oh those tank like shit controls.... ugh.  That game gave my 360 RRoD

It was alright... I just hated all the damn call juggling. That pissed me off so bad.

It had some great moments and other times it was monotonous.

I did, but it felt like a step backwards from San Andreas in a lot of regards. It may have just been me getting burned out on the series though.

Was pretty disappointed with the game with how much praise it got from the critics.

How could one not love those mechanics? Although there were some things missing.... good thing GTAV brings it all back!;)

No.

I liked it but it wasn't better than the past GTA's. All it had was the graphics and physics.

The characters were boring and I hated Niko. But V on the other hand...Oh man, looks totally DIFFERENT.

Yes but it never kept my attention for as long as the old games.

Hell yeah, it's a really good game, though not the best GTA game.

Nope. The other GTA games were the best. IV was not fun at all.

No.  Boring and repetitive as hell.

hated it. san andreas is my favourite game of all time so my hype meter was high. Not only didn't it not met my hype, it didn't even meet the requirement to be consider an average game in my book. This and final fantasy XIII are my two biggest dissapointment of all time gaming wise.
