Forums - Gaming - Did most gamers not like Grand Theft Auto 4?

JUG on 10 May 2009

I've been reading the recent revelations on vgchartz top 100 countdown with interest, and I noticed that lots of people seem to have said something along the lines of "at least game x wasn't beaten by GTA 4!".

It's fair to say that GTA 4 got stellar critical reviews when it came out, and I thought it was a fantastic game. But it was the first GTA I've ever played, so I was wondering if I was missing something here. Did most gamers actually think GTA 4 was massively overrated?

GTA4 is the most over rated game ever made.

Complete downgrade from San Andreas.

They killed the fun factor

I'm not really a huge GTA fan, I have San Andreas for PS2 and Liberty City Stories for PSP. I rented GTA4 but wasn't my taste so I won't buy it.

Agreed, but even without it the game was quite a remarkable achievement. It doesnt deserve the hate it's getting from some.

Lots of people seem to hate the game and say it was a downgrade from San Andreas, but personally, I think it was far, far superior to San Andreas.

By removing all that terrible micromanagement San Andreas shoved in our faces.

By Micro management do you mean the Gyms... eating... haircuts... etc. ?
