According to IGN it is the best game since OoT. Time to come over to the dark side.

Nope. I'm just not a fan of the GTA series or the sandbox genre for that matter.

No. I still fail to see the attraction.

There are games that make me want the other systems, but even if i had a 360 or ps3, i wouldn't be excited for GTA IV

Right, like any of the Wii fanboys will admit to wanting it. Or say anything positive about it.

My full intention was to get a PS3 for my birthday. GTA has nothing to do with it. Yes i'll be getting it, but you don't spend $500 for 1 game.

Not really, GTA series is fun, though I thought SA was trash. Theres a lot of other games on the 360 and PS3 that interest me far more and its just a matter of when I have the cash. Ill probably pick GTA:IV as well but its far from a driving force as to why I want the other consoles.

I care less about games like Grand Theft Auto and its ilk. I also do not care about the PS3 or Xbox 360, because most of their games do not appeal to my tastes.

I detest games with blood, gore, and scantly-clad females that so-called "hardcore" gamers fanatically hype and enjoy. I have always been a "causal" gamer (over 25 years) and will be.

IGN also said Twilight Princess was better then ocarina of time. Did you go out and buy a Wii(they said this before the GC version was out)?

Also, did you go buy a wii for SMG?

Better yet, did anyoen go out and buy a xbox after jade empire got a 9.9?

Anyways, GTA is such a big game that most people on this forum know what it is about. If they are currently planning on getting a system for this game, it's likely they had already been planning that before the review. Though i suppose there is the odd person that might have changed their mind.

I have a 360 already, but i'll probably buy it. I didn't like 3 or san andreas though :O

I want to get a PS3 or 360, but GTA doesn't force me to want it. Until I play it at a friend's house, I'm still going to think the game will be a step down from Vice City and GTA3. Heck, even with the IGN score, I'm still not convinced.

Even if GTA iv won't come to pc (which i highly doubt :|) there's still things like saints row 2. Not exactly the same, and maybe a bit less quality to some, but PC is still a viable option as well.

Already owned a 360 for about a year now and I don't like it much. The only two games I liked that were exclusives were Dead Rising and Table Tennis. I know I'm going to like Grand Theft Auto IV and Resident Evil 5 whenever it comes out but I'd feel a lot better about owning one if there were some exclusives for it so I don't feel like it's a PC that can't play mods (That position was already filled minus the can't play mods part by my ancient PC.)

It's really funny when people bash Nintendo for being casual but still want this game which is from one of the most casual franchises ever.

Well, as a Wii only owner, I am planning, but likely I will not :(, getting a 360, but there are other games for which I am attracted. But GTA just isn't my cup of tea, I rather have Dead Rising and RE than any GTA game.

This is one thing I don't get. How is it casual? Is a casual gamer going to be able to pick it up and actually spend the time to beat it? (Or even have the skill to beat it) Last time I checked casual gamers don't play 25+ hour long games.

It isn't casual. It may have casual appeal due to how big of a name the franchise is, but seriously.

It's the same thing with people calling Halo casual. Can you honestly tell me a casual player is going to be able to compete online?

GTA is casual. You don't have to beat it. There are so many ways you can play it, it pretty much appeals to a large audiance.

Not really. I have never been interested in Sand Box games. GTA IV will have absolutely no influence on when and what other system I am going to get beside the Wii. Usually I get a secondary system to go along with a Nintendo system however this gen I am not sure which system I'll end up getting on top of the Wii. I'm personally waiting until after E3 to decide, but once again GTA IV does not have any influence on my purchase, even if it was an exclusive title.

Being a RPG player, I probably will not get a PS3 or 360 for GTA IV specifically. It'll probably be something else that will attract me (tales of vesperia, Final fantasy etc.) and not GTA.

I already said it had casual appeal. But is it really casual?

You can make pretty much any type of game into a casual experience, but does that make it casual?

Never been a fan of the series. The clunky on-foot controls, aiming, and having to back track all the way to your pad in order to save always killed it for me.

80% of Wii owners or more got already a second console. A 360 or PS3. So they dont need GTA4 in order to buy one.

Now about this 20%, i bet half of them will do, soon or later for many reasons, not just GTA4.

Vice City was by far the best GTA game, I loved GTAIII as well but San Andreas was I little boring in my opinion don't know whether I just got bored of the formula. I will buy GTA IV none-the-less and see whether it has added anything special to separate it from the others or if its just more of the same with a few added features. I didn't enjoy TP as much as I should have because it felt too similar to OoT but it still was a great game.

i already have a ps3.. but gta4 wasnt the reason why i bought mine. I still fail to see what's so good. I've played all gta series btw. Finished the rest of san andreas like 2 weeks back.

I have to admit though, it works in taking stress out. I'll probably watch my friend play it when he gets it. Hopefully i will see something different from the others.
