Well I have a Xbox360 and I was wondering if i should get GTA4. The reason I'm asking you guys is because most of my friends think GTA4 is repetitive, short-lived, and boring. What do you think about GTA4?

I played it an really enjoyed the whole experience. Only thing is, it got really boring imidiatly after I beat it. Also, it isn't as much fun to go on random killing sprees like it was in the others.

It's my favorite game of this generation. I can't believe people think Saints Row 2 is better.

It was very hard for me to start playing it again. After forcing myself to pick it back up to make some more progress, it's actually growing on me, although I still think it's over hyped. The bank robbery mission, which is where i am at in the game, is pretty effing sweet. There are some good moments to be had in the game but it's the same old GTA III on next gen.

It gets old fast. I think the worst part was the lack of characters who entertain and draw you in, Niko was a bleh protagonist, don't get me started on Roman, but Brucie was awesome. From what I've heard Saints Row 2 is a more enjoyable experiance.

I loved GTA IV the story was insanely good and actually had some good plot points. My major beef was with the collectible nonsensce for some reason finding pidgeons is alot harder then secret packages. But going online with friends is so fun. The graphics are very nice considering the scope. And there is a lot of replayability. I wish rockstar had added Jet Packs Planes and Tanks though but oh well.

maybe they added all the vehicles everyone complain of them not having. I dont think they added a plane though. I dont see a plane needed in this game.

It was the first of the series that I ever played and it was addictive to the max. Like the other guy said, I can't wait for the DLC.

I have not played it for awhile but now this thread has got me thinking about it. You really do get into Niko's shoes and become attached to the other characters in the game. It's pure fun I tell you, go get it used, it should be cheap by now.

loved it. great characters, story, and car chases never get old. it's more realistic and gritty then saints row 2, which i personally like. i feel like anytime your given the oppurtunity to wear a pimp hat and galavant around town the game starts taking the turn towards retarded town.

The single player was a lot of fun, but I felt the multiplayer was a bit disappointing.

I say it's a must buy. It's not like the others, but in itself it's a **** good game. Albeit the story can be repetitive but it's fun as **** at the same time. It really makes you feel like an immigrant and not some gangster making his way up in the world. You're just a bottom feeder looking for revenge. Plus with the new DLC, it's bound to be a game that'll last you awhile. I went through and beat the campaign in 21 hours ( in a hurry). If you sit and enjoy it more it would be even better than what I experienced. It's also fun once you beat it to make your own story...for example: I'll call up one friend to give me guns and armor, meet him in a back alley, done. I'll call up another friend for a bomb, go pick it up in a hidden location somewhere nearby, done. I'll call my cousin to send a taxi to take me to the police station (one u can go inside and up to the roof where there's a helicopter). Finally, I call my other friend up to send his friends as backup. BAM. I put the explosive under the car my backup came in...park it next to the police cars parked in the station, dial a number to blow it up, and take out any cops on the way up to the helicopter and escape in great haste! Stuff like that never gets old.

it sacrificed fun for realism, which i wasnt very keen on. however, its still a good game, and definently worth buying.

its not a 10/10 experience though

It's only as good as you make it. Personally the missions are nothing more than drive-shoot-get away. But if you open your mind. there's no limit to the things you can come up with. There's even the hilarious mechanic about driving up to a fat hooker in a beat up old car, and her not getting into it. People had to sit down and spend hours, just for that small detail!

As for your friends hating it,... that sucks. Because multi-player is awesome. But only when you play with people you know.

To me it seemed like a down grade from san andreas and really repatitive. They removed the cool things such as planes, the racing was alot better in the last ones, the duel weilding guns. They did make it more realistic but it was still stupid easy.The cover system addition made it to easy, and often glitched for me. Found you cary way to much ammo, also made the game easy. I was hopin the turn to being more realistic would actually mean it. I did enjoy the game somewhat but was incredibley disappointed, i thought they would keep the old concepts and add new. I was really hoping for the same RPG elements in san andreas.

I Liked the story but thought it would be more epic, and the two choices you have to make for certian missions didnt really seem to have that much impact. the ending is both cases is generally pradictable, similar and not satisfying.

For me to buy the next one they will have to signifigantly change the formula. I want it be the game where it is more realistic, hand gun primary weapon, type of clothing dictates how much ammo and what kind of guns u carry. bigger guns would have to be based at strategic points before mission. and that missions would require more cunning and less im just gonna role up blown these MF's with a bunch of RPG rounds. Like a blend of Hitman/Assasins Creed(the suspicion sytem)/splinter cell and a hint of the old style of games.

This game made me loose faith in using reviews as a guide to buy games. Honestly no matter how good a game is it does not deserve a 10 our of 10. No game is perfect, especailly gtaiv. I doubt i see a game ever being without flaws and fully satisfying which results in a 10/10.

It's rated a 10 because rockstar took the GS and IGN employees to a huge release party where they played it the whole weekend with all the snacks, drinks, and thai masseuse (probably) you can ask for. Plus I imagine they only had time to beat the story. Its after that you realize how crap the game is cause you hit a wall of boredom.

it is so realistic, that the gameplay isn't fun anymore.

in saints row you can drive a septic tank while wearing a hotdog suit, in GTA4 there are a few clothing stores and they all sell serieus clothing.

i believe GTA4 takes itself to serious, like saints row doesn't do.

this. u can do looots of things in san andreas plus the environment is huge in that game and thats what made the replay value of it so amazing. i spend about 100 hours on san andreas. exploring the cities took me quite a bit of time.

[QUOTE="II-FBIsniper-II"]It's my favorite game of this generation. I can't believe people think Saints Row 2 is better.

Not my favorite but without a doubt the best. (A bit paradoxical but that's how I feel.)

I also don't get why it is lauded for its story. The story sucks, and Niko is not a good character to play. His accent and stilted dialogue get extremely annoying, and unlike the other games in the series, esp. VC and SA, you go nowhere in the story. You start off as an errand boy for scuzzy russians, and finish as an errand by for the mob. No one respects Niko, they just use him, and he is fine with that, because as he is fond of saying, "I'm only in eeet for ze money." The other characters, with the exception of Little Jacob and Packie, are all pretty unlikeable, and your cousin Roman is the most annoying character ever. I wish there was a point in the story where you get to choose to save him or let him die, cause I would feed him to the russians like a mouse to a snake. But no, rockstar only made a half-assed attempt at branching storylines with the moronic playboy/duane stuff and even more moronic ending.

Pretty repepetitive once you've finished it. But the story is awesome. So you should buy it. + there's gonna be DLC so more replay value.
