BF2S Forums To those who have played GTA IV

I agree, but apparntly they couldnt put all that in due to the small size of the 360 dvd's and lack of guaranteed HDD. Not tryin to start a console war, jus explaining why some of it isnt there. In an interview, one of the r* employees said they had no more room left on the 360 disks, so it would be hard to see where they could go from the current size of the game on the 360

Gee, they could've used four or more DVD's if they developed it for the PC. Then they could've put all the world simulation they wanted on it.

Vice City was better, SA was too gangster-like.

Installed San Andreas on PC today, I'm sorry but it is just more fun than IV. The graphics may not be as good, but it is brighter, more fun, more things to do, and has an army.

...Uncharted? Bioshock? Um..

Hyping a game = killing that game...And that's what I noticed from this thread. FUN FUN FUN...YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking and driving in a realistic and detailed city is fun too. The addition of 15 online games modes to play online is fun. Is going to the gym fun? Is having more customization fun? Might as well go and play The Sims.

Why copy the previous games without having something different?

im kinda disappointed in GTA4.... well the graphics and storyline are amazing theres just not a whoel lot too do except the missions

like where the fuck is my casino? I spent so much time in the casino in SA

Would be better if they had put all/more weapons in game. Example: Golf club Mp5, SP-12, silenced m4/Glock,   M1911/browning 9mm,P90 maybe a .50cal sniper, more assault rifles like G3 or AUG P90, M60/MiniMi(SAW) more melee weapons to more then just bat and knife and a P90 or 2

Completely customizing your character was fun. Import Export was fun, owning properties and doing the missions were fun....

Please dont tell me you think bioshock had better gameplay than system shock or deus ex, because it doesnt. Uncharted is very good though, but only once through and therefore automatically gets knocked off the list.

...Did I say that? No. I didn't. Bioshock for the 360 got a 96 in total from metacritic on both PC and the 360. It had AMAZING graphics. Are you seriously going to make the incredibly daft statement that you've never seen an amazing game with amazing graphics? Try HL2, Crysis, CoD4, Gears of War...all of these games had/have next-gen graphics and all have metacritic scores of over 90.

I've played Bioshock, everything looked like it was laminated. I mean, I understand it's set in an underwater/humid environment, but.....

that's because metascores are bullshit.

most of those are good games, but I don't trust metascore, half of the reviews that go in are full of shit.

People who say that are like the people who say wikipedia info is wrong. Looking for an excuse.

Do you want individual scores from well known and highly represented websites? Okay, fine. Here you go.

Crysis -

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/crysi … lk=topslot - 95
http://pc.ign.com/articles/834/834614p1.html - 94
http://gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/87EE9 … 83D7CD.htm - 90
And PC Gamer also gave it a 98.

I won't give individual links for the following, but you can follow the links in the Metacritic scores.

Bioshock -

GameInformer - 100 (very rarely given out)
Official Xbox Magazine UK - 100
G4 TV - 100
EGM - 100
IGN - 97

Gears of War-

G4 TV - 100
Gamespy - 100
IGN - 94
GameInformer - 95

The fact that someone can say that every single game they've played that has good graphics is shit is almost funny.

Bioshock was pretty shit in terms of gameplay so yes, it wasnt amazing. HL2, amazing game, doesnt have amazing graphics though. Crysis, lol total shit. CoD4 granted very good graphics and gameplay. Gears of war lol... next your going to say halo is the best shoot to have ever existed...

People who go on reviews and not on their own opinion are morons. Ive played probably over 1000 games, i would say I know what i think a good game and a bad game are by now.

You do realise game companies have a very large amount of control over what reviewers can say. For example if a magazine says their game is shit they can withdraw any rights to exclusive reviews etc for their other games, which results in a massive drop in revenue.

The fact that you instantly put down Gears of War proves your bias towards the PS3, and would give a reasonable explanation of why you're so angry when the word Xbox, Halo or Gears of War is mentioned.

Who said I'm simply going on reviews? I've played all these games and finished all of them, and I agree 100% with the critics. Sorry if YOU can't form your own opinions. Played Bioshock, loved it 100%. One of the best games I've ever played. Played Crysis and while not the best game ever, it sets the standard for next gen graphics and gameplay. The story in general is pretty tense as well. CoD4? Played through it all and loved it. You're making no sense and grasping for argument. Then again, we've had this discussion before.

Wow, conspiracy theories much? I'm sure Marvel being the gigantic company it is would let people constantly put down the movie-based games it makes. Yeah, right. Get a clue.

SA was a great fucking game. I don't think I will be able to rate/compare 4 until I play through it completely at least once.
So far I would have trouble comparing them just because they are so different.

In SA I would ride my bicycle around into oncoming traffic, and bunny hop enough to just clip the roof of the car and get sent flying upwards....I would hall ass in family cars and throw a hand brake at 90mph to make a right hander. I would ride my high powered race bike over dirt hills and up the sides of mountains.

You can't really do that in this new one, even if there were bicycles jumping into someones windshield wouldn't work out...tires get no traction off road, ect,ect... But crashes are amazing, motorcycles are dangerous, I can drive my car through the front door of a store, you can play pool, shoot any direction while driving, throw grenades out of a moving car, weapons and aiming is a ton better, my car doesn't explode every 15 seconds, my porsche is more fun to drive then an econobox.

On one mission I killed everyone and started to walk off...in another room I heard "officer down....need assistance" and the guy comes gimping into the room.

I shot a guy in the head, and I guess when he saw me he floored it. I heard him fall on the horn after I shot him, but his foot stayed on the gas and the car took off and drove straight into a wall across the street.

Lots of very cool stuff in this one.
