Finally after waiting for a long ass time, its finally coming out. I am very anxious for the new Grand Theft Auto game. I was very agitated back in 2007 of October when I found out that the game had been delayed to early March, then again said to be delayed to none other then late April. But its finally here the date is set in stone and my pre-order copy will be waiting for me on Tuesday next week. Everyday I just keep counting the days that I reach ever so closer to the next Grand Theft Auto game.
One thing that I do not like though, is the fact that many people seem to just blatantly call the Grand Theft Auto series a fanboy game. This arguement has got to be the worst one I've ever heard in my entire life, using this logic anything with a sequel can be deemed a fanboy game that has some popularity to it. So by this logic I suppose the new Gears of War 2 will suck on the strict note of it being deemed a fanboy game. Gears of War was a great game for its time and because it gets great sales its deemed a fanboy game? These are actual arguements I have encountered people that use this against such games as Grand Theft Auto, Gears of War, Unreal Tournament, Halo. I'm not even a big fan of Halo but I will say that it isn't a bad game at all. The controls are very nice and the gameplay is quite solid, I consider fanboyism just the over-exaggerated comments of a game or series.
Grand Theft Auto has always sold well because it has always been very appealing to mostly everyone that is in touch with video games. Rockstar has always came up with new and fresh ideas for the series that really kept the series going, I hate it when people chime in with such comments as "Its just some virtual reality game where you kill lots of people" That is the biggest load of **** I've ever heard. The missions have always been very engaging(and somewhat frustrating sometimes) and kept my attention a lot. I loved the fact that Vice City's storyline was basically modeled after the likes of Scarface. This new GTA game has now got me even more excited with the interactivity in this game, the AI sound very intelligent and now sound like they have purpose in the world of GTA.
I for one am looking forward to this game and hope to meet more fellow gamers that share the same interests as I do in this great series.
