Forums - Gaming Discussion - Official anti-GTA4 thread of overrating, shallowness and overuse of reality

I hate GTA games, i feel that their graphics are laughable and contols very bad. With that said i played gta4 last night for about 5 hours and thought it was one of the best games ive ever played. Suck it bitches, this game is great and your anti thread isnt going to do anything to stop that.

Words of Wisdom you are a huge Nintendo fan. the Sony fans will not take any notice of you, lol.

Actually, it's quite the opposite.  I've been called a "Sony fanboy" almost half a dozen times now (mostly because I love the PS3 RPG line-up).

im sorry but i have never played GTA4 and will not play it ever. ill explain why i have three kids and high morals. to me GTA4 isnt anything special looks like GTA3 with better graphics and online whoopidy doo. the last GTA game i played was GTA3 it got boring after 30 minutes. after seeing what was in GTA:SA i was appalled. GTA4 still has the sex scenes and beating up hookers? cmon there are lines that have been crossed by this series now. the original concept i think was great but what its turned into is stuff that i dont wanna do even if it was legal. so to those who think it is the greatest game in the world then stop bickering bout the ones that are complaining its not and vice versa. to me who cares about reviews a good review was what all teh mags had back in teh 80's with fun factor and extra content rankings. to me right now paying 60 bucks for a game i would play for 30 minutes a year or two isnt good.

now watch all the sony and MS fanboys are gonna be like your such a wii fanboy. actually yes i have a wii but a fanboy no i love my pc games and wii games equally.
to say its fun to me is an opinion what is fun to one person isnt fun for another i think that is where all this negativity is coming from in this thread is cause if someone's opinion you dont like you have to lash out against them. ive been apart of many sites and havnt seen a bunch of supposedly grown ups fight about a game ever.

my suggestion is if the game is popular like alot are saying it will be around awhile and will sell great but if people buy it and it disapears within a month and people stop talkin bout it (see COD4, halo3, or any other over hyped game). just everyone please stop pushing it down our throats if we dont want nothin to do with it. that is my only problem.

 there are normal people after all =D


 you are a complete idiot if you are generalizing people's opinions into what is a normal person and what isnt.

He straight-up stated his opinion and applaud him. He did it better then most people do and has strong opinions but it would seem that even if he doesn't like it he won't stop other people from liking it so he would rather let the game be made and sold then the retarded parents who can't raise their own kids properly to understand morals and make their own decisions in life.

There is no "normal" or "abnormal" people here. Everyone is unique in their own tastes and judgment of the world around. Just because you do not agree with what people like or dislike does not mean you can demeanor or fit a group of individuals into one steriotype.

The only major issue I have with scorptile's post is the last sentence. No one is shoving the game down anyone's throats. The people who love the game are expressing their opinions about the game in a vocal mannor and is completely free to do so. Just because a set group does not like that so many people enjoy the game and posts about how good it is to them does not mean you should believe that fans of your style of game has not done it or that your complaints are right or moral. Remember there was just as many positive threads on SSBB, SMG, Halo 3, etc. of peoplestating their opinions on how good the games were.

God, I'm so tired of people always saying that the whole goal of gaming is "fun". Some of us don't game for "fun" get over it, geez, the close mindedness of gamers. Maybe back in the 80's and early 90's it was purely for fun, but don't be saying that anymore.

Why is it that the people who don't own a system that can play GTA4 are the ones bashing it? I never bash good games on the other systems just because I don't own them. I had a great time playing Gears of War, Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, Brawl, and others.

Halo 3 did look pretty shitty from my impressions and was totally eclipsed by COD4. I didn't enjoy Twilight Princess as much as I thought I would I will admit (I loved Majora's Mask and liked OOT). I couldn't even bring myself to keep playing after the third dungeon.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

It's okay everyone, Neos is a Wii fan!

I've yet to meet a Wii only owner who gave this game a fair shake. It took down Zelda OoT.

If it took down my favorite game of all time, I'd downplay it too... But I'm too busy playing it's awesomeness to care!

 Um... GTAIV Is Tied With Zelda OoT on Metacritic. I know that it's higher on gameRankings, but just wait, there'll be some pointlessly negative reviews. SMG Beat OoT, but was swallowed down by corrupt reviewers In FACT, I remember for the LONGEST Time SSBB Had a 100% average review on both sites, until some LESSER KNOWN websites hoping for traffic gave it bad reviews
FACE IT, reviews are corrupted and pretty much worthless now.  Also, This thread is obviously a fanboy rant, but I think it was necessary after the "Why GTA4 Blows OoT out of the water" thread. Eye for Eye, Tooth For Tooth...

BTW GTA IV is the best gamer ever go and check out www.metacritic.com
PS3 GTA IV has an average of 100%. 360 GTA IV has an average of 99%

...So?

 

When Brawl started getting reviews, it was all 98 as an average, later it gradually went from 98 to whatever score it is now. When SMG got reviews, it was ranked above OoT. Now it's ranked below it. Same effect.

In other words: This is not to say I hate GTA4 or anything (Infact, it's the only PS3 game aside from MGS4 I am interested in), but what I'm saying is that it's just way too soon to judge its metacritic's score.  For all what we know, there could be a 90 or lower grade review at anytime.  (Not saying it will happen, it's an "IF" statement)

 Um yeah, it pretty much is... Otherwise, give me another reason. Whatever way you try to cook up, it will probably have to do with fun.




Nintendo fans you need to play this game, is by far the best ever created in the gaming industry...
