#thekitchensink, I don't remember any of those other games (maybe RE5 would come closest) receiving anywhere near the negative statements as GTA IV did from folks on message boards. 

And, it is still one of the top two games released this gen with the other being mgs 4.

 

 *facepalm*

That's what I'm saying.  You're sayingThat 360 fans didn't like GTAIV because PS3 got it, and PS3 fans hate it because 360 got it.  If that were the reason, shouldn't it apply to every single multiplatform game?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

You're wrong, people hated it because they expected something different than GTA and when they got GTA they got all pissy.

i like it i think its a good building block for the future of GTA games for this gen

the only things that i hated about it were no tanks or plans and parachutes but i think the next GTA will have those

      Are 360 fans particularly fond of the PS3 version of Bioshock or Ninja Gaiden and are PS3 fans particularly fond of the 360 version of Devil May Cry?

     A lot of the hate towards the PS3 version from 360 fans comes from the fact that most reviewers said the PS3 version had better graphics.

Best selling doesnt mean its good, Graphics doesnt matter if the game is boring, San Andreas had online on PC.

San andreas was a better game except for Storyline and graphics.

Storyline in GTA games are laughable anyways.

I played the game for a few missions, and I see what both the fans and the reviewers are saying.


The game, like the reviewers say, is good... it in very good. But like the fans have said, it isn't THAT good.


Though they have fixed the things have complained about (like the graphics, and a little bit of the controls), they took away what was fun about GTA... and that was the random fun. It became too realistic.
