If this was any other game, it would be getting destroyed because of the tech problems...

But as this is GTA, you forgive the glitches. In fact, you love the glitches because they're GTA glitches.

I didn´t know that facts and opinions changed with the level of popularity going up or down.

The most annoying glitches are with the targeting system and it's inability to prioritize the obvious target. Oddly, it prioritizes dead, dieing, falling targets the highest, apparently, and neither your distance from a target nor the targets threat to you seem to be even calculated.

It's a shame, because GTA 4 is a really bad shooter and a pretty bad driving game, and those are the two mechanics it uses over and over and over and over in its missions, which usually boil down to "go here, shoot shoot shoot shoot" once you get far enough in the game.

GTA 4 isn't even close to a 10/10.  I was arguing this with my girl yesterday -- I said, "I think I'd give this game a 8/10 despite the technical problems and redundancy of the missions".  she said, "6/10."  We argued a bit, and every time something stupidly outrageous happened that ruined a mission for us, she repeated "6/10".  I couldn't rebutt her, because there was nothing to say.

Although I'd still probably give it an 8/10.  I've played better games that were released this year, for certain, but it's still pretty fun. 

 QFT.  Now instead of complaining we get to talk about how cute, cool, and funny they are.  And how they add to the game's "personality" or some bullshit.

I'm not saying your beliefs should change over time. I'm saying that the level of complaining should change. With every GTA thread created, someone complains about the game not deserving a 10/10, regardless of the topic.

This happens often with games that have an established fan base. There are plenty of games out there that receive higher scores than they should because it's the sequel to Game "X".

No comments. A long time ago I made a thread blaming Ubisoft for their glitchy games. 3 minutes later a bunch of angry fanboys derailed the thread. The argument they used was the same: glitches are fun and add to the game experience. Too bad they only act like that when it is about a game on their favorite console.

To be fair the FERPECT score makes a little sense. Not that GTA is a good series, but if a shitty game like Vice City got 9`s and 9,5`s, then GTA4 10`s are not so absurd. I can not talk about GTA4, but I remember that in the other games I would fail 3 out of 10 mission attempts due to glitches and broken physics.

I can only wonder how they spent 100M to get a game with glitches so easy to do (flip the car and do up on the stick..... like 50% of the people playing probably did that already)

whoa
some r interesting
