Forums - Gaming - Has GTA IV sacrificed fun for realism?

I think you're trying to convince yourself that you don't want it but deep down you really do. As for removing the fun I don't think anyone said that a person couldn't screw around in the game. In fact there are collectibles, stunts, etc, and what appears to be very fun multiplayer.

As for the humor just judging by the review there are going to be some laughs in it. I mean just look at this part from OXM's review:

"Like the time you drive halfway across town with two dead bodies in the boot (which opens if you hit anything, so you've got to nip it out and shut it before anybody notices) to a bent doctor, who just looks at the bullet holes in their heads and says "Ah, natural causes."."

Surely the last part made you laugh...

Actually, more like the reverse.  I'm sorta convinced I don't but want to be convinced that I do.   And that's the sort of stuff I want to know.    Actually, I'm glad to hear Crackdown is more 'arcade' fun because I'd certainly pick that up as well.

GTA IV will be fun and realistic

The city being smaller than San Andreas doesnt matter because its very detailed and looks like NYC.

Also get it on the PS3. I f you get it on 360 thats the only game you will be playing until Gears 2

I don't see what this has to do with the thread, but there are other interesting games.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is an example of a game that I'm sure many PS3 fans would like to have on their system. When you guys are playing MGS4, many 360 owners will be playing Ninja Gaiden 2, which (for my taste) is much more interesting. Don't get me wrong, there are a few PS3 games I'd buy if they were available for a system I already had, but let's not pretend that the opposite isn't the case too.

NOOO!!! I remembered in SA putting the cheat in for the bazooka, going on a high building and shooting helicopsters down....Then at a 6 star wanted level, I would put my jetpack/plane cheat in and flying away....Will that ALL be gone???

Who cares about future games?  You want games you can actually play now, not some undetermined time in the future.  What's the fun in that?



 

Wow, this thread is quickly turning into a troll-fest.

First CaptainPrefrences comes out of nowhere to inform us that GTA4 is the only interesting 360 game until Gears of War 2, then sailordude arrives with a nonsensical theory to explain problems in a game he hasn't played yet.
