GTA IV was just boring in my opinion. I just couldn't get in the game. It was around the time when I was obessess with Halo 3. And I just didn't have the time to enjoy the game like I want.

I will purchase the game at a later date. The game is $30 used at Gamestop.lol
Talk about overrated. I plan on getting it.

I just think personally the formula is getting old and the game was just tooooo overrated. Rockstar and Microsoft were the ones touting it more-so and Sony was also. The sales are good but the game is just repeating the same thing it did from the previous incarnations.

 

GTA IV got rid many of the questionable design choices from previous games in the series.  Also, LC does feel alive.

How does it feel alive? There is nothing to do.

You enter an Irish Pub and there are no customers, not even a barkeeper.

You can't enter buildings, you can only enter strip clubs, but you can't even sit down and have a drink.

There are numerous phone numbers on buildings, but when you dial them, nothing happens.

It's stuff like that that makes a game feel alive, but GTA IV didn't have any details like that.
