GTAIV got a 10.

But did it really deserve it?

The game at first was a blast. Felt like the best game ever. But after the first 10 or so hours…it became very repetative and dull.

The missions were exactly the same, with a minor variance here and there, steal a car, drive, kill someone or chase someone down and kill him, rinse, repeat.

Many features were taken out, that were in previous GTA`s…now I can understand the reasoning for this (because they wanted moer realism), but games should never sacrifice gameplay for realism, never.

Now I applaud R* for the amount of detail put in the game, great soundtrack, great commentary, etc. but the game has many flaws. The hand to hand combat, while improved from previous games, is still garbage, the shooting is ok, the cover system could have been implemented better. The online is pathethic.

This game is not a 10, at first I thought it was the best game this gen, but after 10 or so hours, I was dissapointed…this is the first GTA that makes me not want to get 100% out of pure boredom of the game.

What are your thoughts?

Ok, in the PC Gamer magazine and on the PC Gamer Podcast(The interview in the magazine was mentioned and sort of vaguely outlined) it was discussed about how they would handle multiplat games in the future. Any multiplat games in the future will be developed PC lead platform and will also have 2 different teams working on creating different experiences. The PC version will be a different game than the consoles version, taking advantage of the PC`s strengths and advantages. Crytek is still a company that is and will continue to be PC centric and PC oriented.

How many years have we been spoon fed with the same games year after… example
DOA,Soul caliber,Tekken,Street fighter,etc. Have we reached a point in which fighters will no longer try to be innovative and rather release a shinier version with one or 2 brand new characters to please the crowd.. Do u crave for a new franchise that tries to raise the bar or innovate the fighting genre or are u content with what it has become?

don`t get me wrong, I just telling the truth.

xb360 have released hundreds of games. only two of them need switch disc( BD, LO)

while most ps3 games need to install , for lower blueray reading speed.

if you install , about 2-3 seconds faster loading time than x360 version, otherwise, significant longer loading time than x360 version.

also the facts no one can denay, blueray mean 1080P movie, but not 1080P gaming, forlack memeory space on console.

Here we go, a looong rant. Brace yourselves! *grabs flame shield + 360*

Claiming Uncharted, Killzone 2 cannot be run on a 360 because of Blu-Ray

Uncharted: had lots of pop-ins, in few occasions there were muddy textures… what could possibly be so great in the game that could not be done on a regular DVD? The high def behind-the-scenes videos? `Cause here I am thinking games are meant to be played.
Killzone 2: 2GB levels, claiming you could only play 3 levels on the 360. Well, cows, why don`t you take a look at Mass Effect, Bioshock. To me, it looks like they have a heck of a lot more detail than the Killzone 2 vids I`ve seen.
Oh, and one more thing, Crysis, which has the highest resolution textures in a game to date, was on a regular DVD taking up about, what, 7-8 Gigs. And that game has bigger levels, bigger battles than Killzone 2 could ever ask for.

Claiming installing is awesome (maybe not awesome, but a good thing).

Metal Gear Solid 4 has an approximately 8 minute install to play the game. Ok, now, you may not have enough space, so you have to uninstall, say, Devil May Cry 4 (damn you!). As if that wasn`t bad enough, after every act you have to install… again!
Act 2: 3 mins
Act 3: 3 mins
Act 4: 2 mins
Act 5: 1 min

To me, hehe, this is a kind of slap in the face at Kojima and his “We don`t have to swap disks because this is Blu-Ray” joke. It would take less time to actually swap disks. Nice goin there, Kojima!
This is a PS3, not a PC! It`s a console, I don`t wan`t to install things. When I get a game I wan`t to play it! Not wait 10 mins for an annoying install!

After playing Metal Gear Solid 4… I can safely say that the game looks awesome graphics wise, BUT there is nothing that I have seen in the game that couldn`t be done on a 360.

Don`t try an convince me that the 20 min install time for DMC4 is a good thing when there is barely any difference between the 360 and the PS3 version. Maybe it has shorter load times, but that doesn`t help, when 360 owners probably don`t wait 20mins worth of loading time put together!

Yes this has been done 1000 times before, but now with the release of MGS 4, I wanna find out the opinion of certain cows/lems/sheep!

This is a SW related thread.

I`m really surprised how popular Call of Duty is.

I just don`t understand how you can play a game with no:

*characters(you don`t even know who your playing as!!

*story(oh like you haven`t heard the WWII story a million times)

*puzzles or some way of thinking

*exploration

*boss fights

*Variety in enemies

*Variety in weapons

I know you all are saying, well it`s WWII how are you going to have all those things.

WWII and that generic modern war is not meant for games!! Maybe one at best, but I don`t get how you can play Call of Duty 2 and be excited for the next ones because they`re basically the same exact thing!

Playing MGS4 was so refreshing. You KNOW who your playing as and there`s an actual story behind everything. The developers were also free to be creative and not base everything on reality.

Playing Call of Duty and games like BioShock, Medal of Honor, Halo, Killzone, Haze, Timeshift, Timesplitters, Farcry, and Crysis, seem so… bland.
