Video: 15 days in GTA IV's Liberty City

At the 50 second mark.... The two smoke stacks are blowing the opposite way of the clouds.

The GTA phone's service provider must be AT&T for its reception to fluctuate so much standing in one place.

really GTA IV? HELL NO... GTA IV was the most boring game I ever played, I didnt even finish the game until trophies were added

San Andreas was so much better

San Andreas was so much *bigger*

Fixed it for ya

San Andreas was so much better and bigger.

Fixed it

Agreed

San Andreas was a lot better then GTA:4

Actually GTA:4 was the most lackluster of all the GTA games. Who cares about better graphics if the game isn't as good.

@Freedom Town

I think the reason why people think GTAIV's so lackluster is because some people were expecting the city to be larger, instead GTA IV made the game more of a complete package so they can have a good base to build the sequels. But GTAIV is nowhere near disappointing.

GTA IV broke a lot of grounds for this Gen. It set the bar for graphics, A.I, physics and various other things. Before GTA IV came out there were a lot of o.k games coming out that we as gamers settled for because there was no "bar" for what a game should be before GTA IV. After GTA IV came out with a massive sandbox cover system almost off of everything, A.I NPC's on a massive scale that acted more lifelike than we ever seen and graphicly more impressive than any other game that came out around that time. GTA IV was the complete package for this gen.

If you really think about it what game comes close to the realism GTAIV displays. There's none close. Just think about the little touches that games have yet to copy from GTA. From going down stairs to how NPC's interact in the world. GTA IV to me seems to be a game that's ahead of it's time and there's no way I feel that it's a "lackluster". It's just games are coming out so fast and so quick this Gen to keep playing online with friends we sometimes forget what makes our good game "good" to begin with.

I really felt the same way until I picked up TLAD DLC and saw everything months after GTAIV came out that have yet to be mimicked. Now I'm playing through BOGT DLC and still there's a ton that I see where GTA IV is a truly a technical feat that no game has yet to get close to.

Crackdown?

Well, we had a past GTA (Fable II).

Don't believe me? You can nail prostitutes, steal anything, kill anyone, take out criminals and take their place, kill kids...and you even have Muttley along for the ride!

you couldn't kill kids in Gta or Fable

futuristic GTA?

would that really be GTA?

You could kill kids in Fable II prior to one of the patches.

Crackdown was awesome in so many ways

There wasn't a Grand Theft Auto for the GBA.

@CheeziePotato Yes, yes there was.

@brian - more like GTH (Grand Theft Hoverboard)

Yeah, I really don't think it would be a good idea to pull a, GTA.....IN SPACE!!!!!!! move. I don't think it would work as well.

If GTA in Space = Alien prostitutes

Count me in.

are you saying that you have never played the gaming sensation that is gta4!?

Are you living in a cave or somet...

nvm

I've played it. I've experienced it the best way possible, on the Xbox 360 of course.

When you're playing the game I don't always notice how alive Liberty City really is.

Me too, i'm always too busy jumping off an helicopter (damn, Euphoria is amazing! I love to commit suicide on GTA IV)

Umm...their metacritic score is 98, not 95. I really doubt that minor issue caused them to lose an entire percentage point.

fuck you're high

Fuck, i think that guy might be high

You've obviously never been to Manhattan past midnight.

.95 + .1 = 1.05

are you suggesting this game get a 105%? high is right lol

i know what you meant. its just funny. you know cuz you're high lol

a my bong, some pot, and joystiq can entertain me for hours its insane.


and gta is awesome*

I hope it is at the 80s, in Vice City again! *_*

I hope they would do one in 70's blaxploitation style.

Shaft! Ya damn right!

@Neptune

That is a pretty fucking good idea actually.
