Description
I measure the quality of a game by how much fun I have and my reluctance to turn off the console at the end of each gaming session.GTA4 currently has me swearing a lot, wringing the controller in frustration and kicking said console until the power cuts out.
I can’t even abandon the main missions to explore the (inarguably pretty) game-world in peace, which would have been its saving grace; I keep getting phone-calls asking why I’ve not taken a particular character out to play a dull and repetitive mini-game!! I know I don’t have to, but I also know that if I don’t it’s going to take me longer to access hidden missions. In effect, I’m being punished for wanting to do what a sandbox game is meant to let you do: What you want, when you want, how you want.
I’ve had the game for 2 weeks. The first few days were great, but now the only reason I go back to it is to justify the stupid amount of money I spent on it.

This description makes me wonder if the GTA series is reaching the end of the line.

The cars were the worse part of this game. You couldn't drift them since they skid 30 ft. past the street you're trying to go and reaching top speed is a pain due to excessive and narrow traffic.

Actually, if you play online mode and you own a Motorcycle Club, you'll end up with either Malc or LJT calling you every 10 seconds...

You want a good sandbox game that doesn't have any of the annoying shit you just said? Play PROTOTYPE.

I just don't get it... Why does Niko even answer his phone when he's in the middle of a war zone? Can't he just ignore it?

The biggest problem the game had was crashing 10 minutes into play.

So I can't piss off after failing a mission a 100 times over and kill loads of people and run away from cops? What the hell? That's what GTA was for me.

I actually like the game, but I don't like how you have to play the missions before having fun.Still, a great game, but San Andreas was better.....

I enjoyed every part except for the parts where I'm getting calls ever 5 minutes and not allowed to anything else. Otherwise, the story and the killing and everything was fun as all hell.

Meh, I like the game. Like to have massive shoot-outs with the rozzers but hate being called up for darts in said shoot-outs.

Ah, GTA IV. I like it, but it's one of those games I love one minute and want to dip in acid the next.
Mainly due to panel 6. That "Holland Nights" mission (where you first have to go through a long shooting sections in the projects, and THEN have to lose a 3-star wanted rating) nearly resulted in a destroyed controller.
Here's hoping they bring a few things over from Red Dead Redemption (MOTHERFUCKING CHECKPOINTS for instance) and get it right with GTA V.

God, this comic perfectly sums up how I felt about GTA4. I enjoyed the first half of the game.. But I couldn't play for more than an hour without getting frustrated so I was slowly crawling through the game at a ridiculous pace... Then MAss Effect 2 came out, and with it came all the side missions where even if you did HAVE to do the mission you could atleast be a dick about it and leave the quest giver pissed off at you afterwards because you didn't do it the way they wanted you to.
I tried to go back to GTA 4 afterward and promptly realized "Man, Niko is a ****ing pussy, screw this I'm selling this back for store credit."

GTA 4 was the most dissapointing game i've ever played.
Great comic, sums up my feelings on it perfectly.

The physics in GTA4 in my opinion are TERRIBLE! Not close to real life, that's why I like San Andreas more

Tried it for a couple of hours, didn't like it and didn't pick it up again for a month. Now I'm pretty far into it, although I'm come across one hell of a checkpoint-free lengthy mission. Took me 5 minutes to get to the shooting part. >_>

GTA4 was the first game I got for my Xbox, think I did the 2nd mission.
Been having too much fun sightseeing and running people over.
This is a great guide.

I hate GTA$ and its gaming because of there saving system for the PC. You need to sign in, put in a profile for TWO sites, attempt to leave and register your accounts, begin game, sign in, put in some 'update,' have it delete your account, repeat pocess.

Phone

Sleep Mode
Are you sure you want to switch on sleep mode... Yes
Sleep Mode On
Stop bitching and whining about the OPTION to hang out with friends.
I also don't see why people think this game isn't fun to play. The handling is wacky and the physics allow bodies to be thrown all over the place. Suppose people are just bored with the simple "here's some guns and a city, go have fun" formula and expect poo-launching guns to go with it.

i think they overdid the Realism. try chinatown wars! it's kickass!

ur obviously bad at it. It's so easy to go free roam that shit online. If other players stop you, learn to take headshots and only headshots. Its really easy with the targetting system. Also, the fuck@loading screen multiplayer comment. Your comics are funny but this is completelyyyyyyyy off pitch for once

a lack of skill is a problem with every1, retry option is the solution.
the loading time gives you a good reason NOT to die.

You know I have always wanted to make a sand box game were you can play as a knight. Just think about how you could get full plate armor then walk through an angry mob of peasants leaving a path of blood and corpses of those foolish enough to stand in front of your sword, then loot their homes, followed by burning there homes. You could ride down your enemies with the horse you stole from them, then loot their castle, have sex with their wives/daughters/sister/cousins (sometimes you will get all three with the same lady), then burn their castle to the grown. Finally there showed be a away to get the greek flame thrower, you could make your character look like William Wallace then give him a flame thrower. Now that is Bad Ass.

Sounds like Assassins creed minus the armor meng. Sounds like a fable/oblivion/assassins creed highbrid.

No it's more like what Grand Theift Atuo would be like in Medeavil Europe. There won't be any magic involved, just you running around killing people and doing missions. The story is that you have just returned from the crusades and find that your king is dead with no heir and that your country is being ripped apart by waring factions. You must work with these factions to become king or you can make some else king. You woun't have to deat with magic spells or leading armies, just you, your horse, and a lot of dead bodies.
