They took out the over-the-top slapstick humorand zaniness in an attempt to be gritty. I, for one, regret that that decision was amde.Verge_6

*facepalm*

who in there right mind doesn't want GTA to be realisitc? it was ALWAYS heading in that direction. lol

GTA4 is the best in the series and i've finished it and still love it. IMO.

as for the TC, why did you buy the game? you obviously don't like it. and BLOG it next time.

Saying it looks like a cartoon version of a real city as if that's a negative is to show that you really dont "get" the whole point of the game. It's meant to be dumb, slapstick, funny and entertaining. It's not going for grit like GTAIV. It's the direction GTA WOULD have gone in had they followed the idea of Vice City rather than going for super realism.

Still boggles my mind how people hate GTAIV because its TOO REALISTC..seriously, WTF?

what ever SR2 tried to be, it failed, IMO...the pyshics, graphics are stale compared to GTAIV and it just doens't have that fun factor for me, too. but to each there own.

GTA4 spoiled me.

Do people argue that GTA4 is super realistic? I don't think it's realistic at all. The design may bare a likeness to New York but the actually plot and characters are all really silly.

how does the plot and characters make it less realistic? that CAN HAPPEN...i think it more to do with the animations, pyhsics, overall gameplay.

2 probs

The narrative sounds bad..and stupid.

i also dislike the sniper sound, sounds like a plasma rifle.

they are both IDENTIAL in terms of visuals, its just depends on your taste of controls, do you prefer the 360 pad for those types of games or the PS3's..etc.

Ok thanks for that. I am emigrating to AUS at the end of November so I will probably buy it for PS3 seeing as that is the more reliable console lol.

really, where from? i'm from AUS...the 360 isn't bad now days, its much more reliable...just needs to be placed in a well ventilated area, new chips coming soon that pretty much correct the problem. it isn't as bad as some make it seem.

oh boy, if you only knew.

Not really, but its very questionable, there graphic comparison for multiplats (color probs, uncalled for critism), scores sometimes seem bias and sometimes they're are just stupid (not knowing all the buttons and there effects, lol)..hard to explain, its happened a lot in the past, not so much now. Its a great setup and site to view content, but i wouldn't take them too seriously.

IMO, atleast.

[QUOTE="johnnyblazed88"]

i thought this game was 9.0 confirmed, isnt that what PS3 fanboys have been saying

NinjaMunkey01

I think it was widely beileved that this game would get AAA. It semed to improve on everything, spliutscreen, graphics, cars...

Im quite suprised. I might miss this and get farcry 2 instead then.

why would u miss this game, because of someones opininon? 8.3 is a great score anyways...i loved the demo, just too short. Can't wait for the final game.

Really? What did it originally score on GT?
