I hope it isn't like GTA. I just played the opening missions for San Andreas and I could not continue. I also played Max Payne 2 and the controls were absolutely awful. I do not like Rockstar.

Is there something wrong with you?


 

Oh yes, there must be something wrong with me. Yeah, someone hit me in the head with a PS3 and I've been suffering brain damage ever since. Yeah, that's the only explanation as to why I dislike the GTA series and prefer a better open world game like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Yep, damn that PS3.

GTA is not a PS3 series and I was not being serious, you're allowed to not like the game, you just shouldn't dislike it. It's a happy game for kids!


 What do you mean I shouldn't dislike it? It's rather juvenile and is for kids.


 It is a very good game, that is just fun to play, and I'm not being serious

 yeah, I know a lot of people like it but that doesn't mean I can't say I don't like it and I know you're not being serious but I am.

 Luckily enough for Rockstar a lot of people love it

While I don't dislike Rockstar, I agree that San Andreas was crap and that Rockstar get a little more credit than they deserve.

The franchise peaked with Vice City, IMO.

The two big differences, besides NMH not being an actual sandbox game, is that in GTA, the driving is the fun part. In NMH, the fighting is the fun part. Especially the boss fights, I gather.

Prepare yourself for disappointment.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Good game? Maybe... Wii's GTA? No...

This game isn't no GTA for the Wii. This game is more like Killer 7 but better, it will do Killer 7 sales-wise in Japan and become a mediocre game for the U.S.

The REAL Wii GTA will be an actual Wii GTA....I hope they make it soon or atleast port GTAIV to the Wii....that would be awesome...

No More Heroes is clearly a niche title that will become extremely popular with a small audience of dedicated fans. Even though I'd love to see it join the Wii's growing number of million selling third party title, it isn't terribly likely to do so.

The reason the GTA games after the third became so popular is that they had a premise most people could easily relate to.

A Greek god of war killing monsters? Sounds nerdy...
A giant hamsterdude with a gun and a robot sidekick? Sounds nerdy...
A criminal dude walking on the street popping caps in people's asses? Fuck yeah!

This could be called appealing to the lowest common denominator, but that's not necessarily a bad thing at all. In a way they were the most casual games on the market last gen.

NMH might have some GTA-like features, but it's missing the most important ones, and will be extremely lucky to achieve 10% of the sales of San Andreas or Vice City.
