GTA IV is a joke so far I am disappointed....how did it get a 10 I'll never know

My favorite game of this generation is Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for the Wii. It scored somewhere in the 7's.

It is a very niche game. However, fans of the Fire Emblem series might find it to be one of their favorite games of all time.

I don't complain that the game got shorted on its score. Afterall it is very audience specific and I can see how a lot of gamers and reviewers could hate its pacing and balance.

Now, MGS4 is niche to a lesser degree. So, to MGS fans, it's likely to be the best game of this gen. However, I wouldn't knock reviewers for giving the game less than 10's because they aren't all MGS fanboys. It's not univerally loved and welcoming. It has a high barrier to entry. Its story requires you to play other games to understand it. That alone makes it a niche title. That alone lowers the overall score.

A perfect game must have the ability to suck anyone in, who plays it. Few games reach that pinnicle. That is one reason so many Nintendo games adorn the gamerankings list. They are very accessable. MGS isn't, despite the hype. Many purchasers of this game who are first time MGS players will be dissapointed. This game isn't gonna be the end all game for PS3 owners. It is, however, gonna be another amazing and perfect MGS game that fans of the series will die for.

I gave it a 9.5/10. Don't diminish your opinions validity by calling it a joke. It might not be for you, but it is certainly a passable game at least. If I had it to do over again, I'd drop that down to a 9/10, but calling the game bad isn't gonna win you any credibility points with anyone who actually played the game to completion.

@Zenfolder

it completely DESTROYS what GTA : SA did so well

the storys nice...

& calling it a joke in the sense it did not deserve all those 10's...I was actually supporting it at first but after playing it my vies has changed.

It certainly was over-rated, I'll give you that. However, I still think it ranks amongst the best games on the PS360 respectively.

I think the changes from SA were for the better, and this was the first game in the series that I actually liked. 

@Zenfolder

yeah maybe thats why.....I hope it gets better thoug as the story is really brilliant....but GTA was always about "do what you want to n you never get boreD"...thats all gone sadly.

anyways I might go n do some missions now....until MGS4 arrived by post anyway
