So the second one is worse because of the limited storage space?

Why are you comparing the PC versions when they are developed base on the spec of the consoles?

 

How much more content you think they can add when they have to bump up the visuals while keep it in a single DVD?

 

First, because I own both games, and currently have them installed on my PC, so it's easy to check. Second, because they are in essense the same game as the console versions, only with higher texture resolution. And also because the PC version of GTA IV is way worse than the console versions, in that it DOES NOT WORK!!! But that is all beside the point. Really.

The point is, you have a sequel that is more advanced in every single respect, and you're blaming the fact that it's worse than the predecessor on the fact that it is not advanced enough. It's like eating a cupcake and thinking it is awesome, so the next time you buy a bigger cupcake. When you don't think it's awesome, it's because it wasn't big enough. It's completely illogical. Taste has nothing to do with size. If anything, too much cupcake makes you feel ill.

I'm trying to tell you that the limitations on a game is the minds behind it and the processes it is created in, not the hardware specs. Hardware limitations are good. We need them, in order not to get lazy, to become inventive and to make sure that we actually finish the jobs we take. It's not like GTA IV suffered from them, it's more like it suffered from the lack of them.
