| txrattlesnake said: #thekitchensink, I don't remember any of those other games (maybe RE5 would come closest) receiving anywhere near the negative statements as GTA IV did from folks on message boards. And, it is still one of the top two games released this gen with the other being mgs 4. |
Every major release of this gen sees haters shortly after release.
Examples:
MGS4 has been getting complaints since before it came out (cinematics too long, it's not stealthy, it's convoluted, etc.)
"Halo 3 = Halo 2 HD"
"Gears of War is too brown, why does every game have to be boring brown and grey"
"Twilight Princess is an abomination because Link is not right handed, there's not enough fighting..."
"Resistence Fall of Man is just like every other FPS"
"Killzone 2 is just WWII in the future"
"CoDWAW is just another WWII FPS"
Sound Familiar? That being said, I couldn't think of Mario Galaxy or Modern Warfare's complaints by people who actually played the games.
People on the internet just hate, that's what we do.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
