@starcraft

you've gone on for pages (and pages and pages.....) about how "10=10=indiscernible differences", but did you ever stop and think that maybe it got a 10 on both versions because, I don't know, because its GRAND THEFT AUTO 4?!!!! Maybe because the game is so great that its pro's vastly outweigh it's cons?

You say that they score games relative to each other, and since both got a 10, they are equal (despite all things saying they aren't, performance wise). Well I have an example for you:

http://ps2.ign.com/objects/907/907835.html
http://wii.ign.com/objects/907/907834.html

Budokai Tenkaichi 3. BOTH got an 8.0, yet the Wii has improved visuals and online capabilites. If games are scored relative to their counterparts on other platforms, then why'd they score the same?

The same case is with GTAIV. It's a GREAT game, obviously, so it's going to get a 10. They're not going to dock points just because of pop ins because the entire experience outweighs that. Sure, the PS3 version has "better anti-aliasing" and "far less pop ins" but I guarantee that had this game been on PS2 technology, it'd STILL get a 10 because it's THAT good, even though the PS3 and 360 versions would technically be VASTLY superior.

Get off your high horse and just enjoy the game when it comes out because the situation is as follows:

Based on the review, if they could, they'd give the PS3 version a 10.5 to show it was better and the 360 a 10, but they can't based on their review system. And at the same time, they aren't going to give the PS3 a 10, but the 360 a 9, because despite there being performance differences, GTAIV is not a "9" game. Think about it that way, and then stop complaining

 Without a doubt.

There is no install on the 360 version.

 I havn't seen anything that says there is no optional install for the 360 version.

 I found this though:

Can anyone confirm this?

....guarantee he'll reply with something of the likes of:

"Did you just compare GTA with Budokai?"

Then write me off as having 0 credibility.........



windbane on 26 April 2008

Probably. Go easy on him though, he doesn't have the best system for GTA right now so he's gotta be a little upset. PS3 owners got used to inferior (EA) ports last year...



sailordude on 26 April 2008

ya, starcraft likes to ignore the threads that he gets completely bitch slapped on and goes to other GTA threads to spread his bull shit. is that not annoying?!
