| txrattlesnake said: GTA IV received several perfect scores when it was released, yet almost as soon as it did it received tons of negative feedback from the fan community. However, I don't think any game has brought a city to life so well or had such a likeable protagonist in recent memory as did GTA IV. The one ingredient missing from previous GTA games was the graphics, and GTA IV remedied that too. However, I think I know why GTA IV became so hated. PS3 fans didn't like it because it was on the 360. 360 fans didn't like it because many reviewers said its best version was the PS3 one, and Wii fans didn't like it because their console couldn't run it. GTA IV hated by more people than almost any other game, yet still just as good as originally reviewed. |
It was and is hated on so much because reviewers blew it out of proportion. The game, while good, is nowhere near as good as the reviews suggest. This is the view of the general public, and therefore, the game is hated on to a degree.
Personally, I think the game is shit. I got extremely bored about 35% in and haven't played it since.
