I've started GTAIV 5 times now...

As said, I've started GTAIV five times now but have never got past a few hours in. I sort of get bored by it all - I just don't get it. I would really like to get into it - it obviously has great review, as does the lost and damned and ballad of gay tony, but I just don't think I ever will. How long do I keep playing for in the hope of actually getting into it? Will I ever? Has anybody else been in this position? Aaagghh !!! It's just driving me mad that I can't get into it!

Ive Tried to start it around 3 times or so and just cant be bothered, The New dlc looks cool though and the line 'Alot more like san andreas' Sold me =D

I have played the first two missions I think and can't get myself to play more. I know gta game are in

finitely more enjoyable with cheats turned on but I dont wanna do it

just drive around the city trying to fish tail ppl with your car, it got me through like 20% of the game lol

why would you force yourself to play something that you dont like? Just stop playing and sell it or whatever.

Thanks guys!

I'm not going to force myself to play it, I'll more than likely never touch it again - i just wondered if I played for say 10hours - would I maybe get hooked - probably not by the sound of things.

I have enough to play at the moment anyway with Borderlands and FM3, plus MW2, AC2, Dragon Age and more just round the corner.

Yeah I'm with you there, I tried to like it I really did, but I guess I will just stick to dinking around on multiplayer with some friends.

You and I are the same. I just can't play it for very long no matter how long i try

Maybe it's just not your type of game? I love GTAIV.

I've beaten it at least5 times and never get bored.

Half Life 2 got amazing reviews but I can't play it without getting bored. Not because it's bad, but because it's just not for me.

I have the exact same problem. Then you start again 3 months later and it gets frustrating because you forget how to play, right? So you start again...

For some people it's just more appealing than for others. Personally, the main thing I like about this game is the characters. Throughout the game, you'll meet all sorts of interesting and entertaining personalities. The missions and story themselves are meh, but getting to know Liberty City's biggest players kept it going forward for me.
