[QUOTE="mo0ksi"]Well for starters it has a better story, better characters, and much better writing than San Andreas or any other previous GTA game. Also the combat and driving surpass the other GTA games by miles, and on top of all that, a much better and more complete soundtrack. I could go on and on. The game was aiming for realism, so did you seriously expect jetpacks and tanks? Come on, R* made the right decision to make the series evolve and mature into something that defines this current gen. GTA4 did exactly that. It's just funny how people didn't want the series to evolve and stay the course so that it'll get stale quickly.carljohnson3456I disagree completely. I think the story was mellow dramatic and depressing. I've said it before...

"Give you 500 bucks to kill a guy" - Bad guy
"Ok" - Niko
The story wasnt that great... decent concept, coming to America looking for the American dream, but I think it could have been executed better. Better characters? I dont think so, not by a mile. The combat was much improved... but I'd beg to differ about the driving. I'd call that a wash. They handle differently, but they're equally easy to handle in my opinion. I just dont think the series "evolved" so much as it just took away stuff, including humor. I loved GTAIV, dont get me wrong. But I really felt like they did take away so much of what made me a fan of the previous games. And I'm not calling you wrong here, just saying, our opinions differ. lol. And this has nothing to do with the DLC, by the way, just GTAIV in general, lol.
I like my stories depressing, not because I'm depressed it's just that I'm a sucker for games with a darker tone. Melodramatic though? I wouldn't think so.The whole thing with Niko was because it was the only thing he was basically good at and that it pays good, in which he actually says in the game. I understand on how he is hypocritical, but it was a moment of desperation (or so it seemed).
I thought the characters were better because they're more down to earth than the previous GTA characters, and that the driving was better because the more realistic feel to it, and how the crashes felt very hard-hitting.
I guess it's just that I've been wanting a realistic GTA for a while before this one came, and I seriously had my doubts before I bought it for PC. But I loved every minute of the game because I think they just nailed the realism.
But humor? You didn't like the America's Next Top Hooker radio commercials? Or the Katt Williams stand up?
I do respect your opinion, but i'll just have to disagree.
Without something like this the posts have no validity at all since lying seems to be very popular these days. :?
im glad the Wii didnt get that sad pathetic excuse for a game, most overrated game of all timeRigga911No you're right the Wii is better off with Wii Play :|
I'm a GTA and Rockstar supporter, so if they make DLC as huge as Lost and Damned, of course I will support it. Seems like more 360 owners appreciate and supports Rockstar than PS3 fans. That's probably why Rockstar made these episodic content exclusive to the 360.one_on_oneI can think of 50 million other reasons.

Please feel free to list down those 50 million other reasons. I'll help you out with one; you bought it for the PS3.

It's exclusive to the 360 because it was paid for by MS.

It was a loan.Lol wow. Can you say hypocracy? Some of you would be singing praises if GTA IV DLC were also available on the PS3, but because it isnt, it suddenly doesnt matter to you:| Sames goes for MGS4 if it were to go to the 360.InfinityMugenactually your wrong. gta 4 was the worst in the serious even if dlc came to the ps3 i wouldn't buy it until it hit the cheapest of the cheap bargin bin. i simply did not like the game at all. you can search countless threads from cows and lems who did not like the game. sorry but i don't want an extra side of crap for an already crappy game. on a side note im also not going to pay for content that should of been in the game in the beginning.

Are you serious? The GTA4 hate has been live and kicking ever since people got their hands on it. It's not until this DLC that lems are talking hughly of the game.
Haha this thread is hilarious, everyone wants some outpouring of jealousy and crying from Cows, then when they don't get it, all the Cows are lying. Some rationale we got in here.lantus
Both sides hated GTA4, but now that the lems got their exclusive DLC GTA4 has become the greatest game this gen:lol:
I knew this would happen.

That happens to a lot of highly anticipated games. I also recall when Kojima dropped a hint which led many to believe MGS4 was coming to the Xbox 360 even though some 360 fans said they didnt care before the hint was dropped. I'm not trying claim any type of ownage. I have all 3, I could care less. All I'm saying is that the GTA 4 hate was a little dramatic and I have no doubts that PS3 fans would eat it up if it were available to them. Some didnt like it thats understandable but that doesnt include everybody. I hated the DLC since before I owned a PS3, completed GTA4 before I owned a PS3 as well. My opinion hasn't changed. Awesome, hate validated. *High five*[QUOTE="speedsix"][QUOTE="AdmiralBison"]do you actually expect Cows to admit they regret it and accept ownage here?
You may as well ask about Fall Out 3 as well.
lantus
Exactly.
I reckon the lack of DLC has actually made people convince themselves they dislike the game.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I owned GTA IV on 360, and traded it in a month later, but I guess that's just me trying to convince myself I dislike the game.well then it seems to come down to the actual taste of the game then, but I'm fairly sure a substantial amount of players say other wise and actually like the game.
I's even better that the game has additional support coming through in the form of DLC, so regarding that then I don't blame Cows if they got shafted.
However if given the choice before hand and you knew about the reviews, previews pending DLC and handson you would have to accept your xhoice in wich verion you picked up if not.
You could just simply sell it.
but once again TC you will not get many Cows admitting this, but simple rebuttals and denials
What's with all the GTAIV hate in general? I thought it was much better than SA and around the quality of III...oh well, to each their own, I suppose. And I originally purchased it on the 360 because of DLC and the fact that my 360 is my main gaming console and all multiplats find their way onto the machine.DonPerian
you find most of the GTA and Fallout 3 hate comes form the Cows.
There are many excuses said as to why they purchased and then hated it.
They should be fairly knowledagable now onhow the GTA series is
but reasons are fairly obvious as to why they hate it.
actually your wrong. gta 4 was the worst in the serious even if dlc came to the ps3 i wouldn't buy it until it hit the cheapest of the cheap bargin bin. i simply did not like the game at all. you can search countless threads from cows and lems who did not like the game. sorry but i don't want an extra side of crap for an already crappy game. on a side note im also not going to pay for content that should of been in the game in the beginning. sireclaborn
Thats a bit harsh, sure the game wasnt as good as SA with all the missing elements but it still has alot in it. but it definantly isnt the big 10/10 best game ever that some people make it out to be :S more of a 9-9.5 game
Well I have the 360 version, and I have no interest in the DLC. Hell, I lack any motivation to finish GTAIV after the bank mission, which to me felt like the climax of the game.Haziqonfire
spoiler alert** that's not the only group fight you get into in GTA4. There some good assasinations that come in and the end is pretty actioned packed!!
No,I just wish it was available for the PS3 because I'll be damned if going buy a POS console just to enjoy GTA. Rockman999
so the truth comes out! Cows are jealous that they didn't get the better version, and will hate the Xbox360!
so the Cows got owned!!

I'm inclined to disagree, GTA4 is not the worst in the series
[QUOTE="carljohnson3456"] I dont regret buying GTAIV, I think it's one of the better games of this gen. I just dont think it lives up to the GTAs of last gen imo.SpruceCabooseAnd to me it dances atop all the prior games, and I was a huge fan of all of them. I just appreciated the growing up GTA did overall, and the fat trimming from SA. GTA San Andreas is better than GTAIV in my opinion. GTAIV was quite boring and I haven't finished game game because it so boring.

Same here...saints row 2 was fun fun fun!!! It had everything that i felt was missing from gta4, and the graphics while more cartoony where actually much sharper then gta4 blur fest.

You should turn off noise filter. It makes the game a lot more colorful and less blurry. Also I had GTA 4 for almost a year and only played a few missions but I bought the DLC and I am playing all the time. The bikesa really are fun to drive now.
