Multiplayer is the only reason to get these games IMO. I get bored with the game after defeating it once through. But in multiplayer you have the added element of playing against something other than programming. But that's just based on COD experiences. I dont have much experience playing GTA.

I liked what PedalingSquares said about listening to the reactions of your bros when you take em down... especially if they are in the military. hehe

No. Multiplayer in GTA-games is horrible. Absolutely. :/

Sadly no, the one I pick on the most is a buckethead (basement saver) so it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

zelda is brilliant, although after my extensive playing of it I prefer the phantom hourglass to ocarina of time :S...............


Never like gta series, it is to big and open for me, like elder scrolls... I just cant get into these games

I love call of duty. only because of mp and the fact i have a few mates whom i used to play with regulary (sure it will be the case again come 2 weeks with mw3) online. We'd ussuallty just play private games (maybe 5 or 6 of us) and do knife only or sniper only, was pretty epic.

GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice city stories multiplayer was awesome, but GTA 4 multiplayer, like the rest of the game was a let down. Took away a lot of the good stuff, again like the rest of the game. My hope is that they took it away so that they can put it in later and say its advanced.

GTA IV is the only version of the series that I have played and although there were some fun parts, I found that pretty quickly I was just driving around causing trouble to make something happen. The missions were often too small to take very long and they were too far apart. Once I finished the game I couldnt really see the point in spending any more time with it.

Compare this to the Call of Duty series, where I completed all the missions several times using different methods and spent ages online - and COD wins hands down.

Likewise I found the getaway series enjoyable - although it may just have been the geezer language etc....

Cards on the table though, I have spent time on every iteration of Gran Turismo except 5 (I have switched to XBox). When I say time, I mean that I have raced over 25,000km on each version. And I am playing the F1 game now.

I'll be looking forward to the next GTA edition, but I won't be staying up late to get a copy and it will probably have to wait until I get bored with the latest COD release.

The problem with GTA is it's basically the same stuff but with better graphics. So it does grow stale after you played a few games before.

IV was the worst one ;)

Its the standard of the previous editions that most of us expect from the next gta.

No, the cities, the stories the themes, the years are totally different. Every game has exciting new additions that change a lot.

Do you intend to read any of the responces to your post or are you just going to troll around?

Youve already admitted that you don't know much about the game so why continue to attack it as if you know what you are talking about?

Don't get me wrong, based upon the comments that have floated around about the next one, I will certainly end up with a copy (and most likely enjoy it a lot!) its just that I may end up waiting a little while before I get a copy.

GTA 4 I found dissapoining. But San Andreas I really thought was a great game. Probably my favorite on ps2. However in regards to rockstar games, I still think red dead redemption takes the cake. Was very good, in a GTA like way.

this quater a lot of great games are coming out tho... batman, uncharted, cod, fifa 12etc. Plus some of my mates wanna get the wwe game to play royal rumble online haha.

I think Vice City is the last video game I have ever played. I was 12. It was a smashing good time, although impossible to win without doping.

It's always the same: you're in a city doing a bad story-line and killing people. It's a repetitive game.

I didn't notice much difference between the GTA's. I've played GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA IV, so I know more than enough for the series. It's get boring really quickly as you're always doing the same. Once you've finished the short story-line of the game there's not much reason to come back. And the story-line is mediocre at best. Vice City was a total rip off of Scarface. I don't mind because I loved the movie, but it really had 0 creativeness in it.

GTA III and Vice City were revolutionary in terms of gameplay, but you can't say that anymore these days. It's the same game with a new coat. Small gimmicks don't make me think of the game as different. GTA IV killed of any interest I had in the game. Definitely the most overrated game ever made. Red Dead Redemption was a lot better than GTA IV IMO.

Rockstar needs to find a different concept in their games. They're not making any money of Grand Theft Auto anyway: they actually managed to make a huge loss.

Meh the same can be said for any game. ERGO zelda has the big *** maps, with dungeons and castles and a princess to save everytime.

anyway you've convinced me im gonna ebay twiglight princess for the good ol gamecune (will need to find it.. have no idea where it is haha)

It is in the fine details, and environment where games differ (sadly I took 151 Game fundamentals as an elective in uni.. was easy as aka assignment 1 review a game of choice. assignment 2 = discussing controversial game elements i.e vioelnce and ass3 making a game.. i made a gameboard lol. easiest HD i ever got . But wowza there where some serious gamers in that unit). Setting and story has greater impact then one may think, importantly it is what gets you immersed in the game and hitch is 100% right when he suggest there are big differences between the different GTA games. Much like you would find big differences in the zelda games. Heck I got the new fifa, and despite it being soccer I swear the game is so much better and different compared to 11.

red dead was brilliant imo. hitch if you haven't i suggest trying this one. While LA noire was a little disappointing I thought.

Well that's a brave postulate...

'On 13 May 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV broke the Guinness World Records for "Highest grossing video game in 24 hours" and "Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 Hours". It sold 3.6 million copies on day one, which equalled roughly $310 million in revenue. '

Why do you keep talking about that game in this thread?

meh as far as I'm concerned this might as well be some sort of game-related thread seeing as many games have been discussed in just little over a page.

But of course I almost never have a problem with off-topic discussion, as I believe I am an expert in such ;)

I remember my whole school was talking about vice city for like 2 months until the release and everyone had preordered it.

Per chance I was going round shops the next day, and every single one had "GTA Vice city - sold out" taking up half the game sections.

The Music sections were filled with GTA Vice City- soundtrack.

I picked up a copy, and looked at the pictures, on the back and read the description.

It was the moment I decided to buy a Playstation 2.

The last game I bought was Fifa 10. I didnt even buy 11. Before that GTA IV so thats 2 games in 4 years.

So I dont buy games much. I know there are some great games out there I havent tried. Im not even going to buy the new fifa, since I dont think its worth £50 (games used to cost half that only 2 years ago).

But just like there are some great books out there I so want to read, books and games take a lot of commitment, take a lot of time, so getting into one isnt always that easy even if you know you would enjoy it.

I dont think any of them quite match GTA though. I played Saints Row 2 for a very long time and it had a lot of very fun modes, as fun as the ones in GTA, but the music, the setting, the refferences to culture, and the feeling of what it was like to live in 80's Florida, or early 90's California, is what really gets to me.

why, pes has been the best for the last 2 years...ops shhhhhhhhh :cool:

I let Fifa fall when I was introduced to....wait.......
"International Superstar Soccer Pro Evolution" was the name which later became the PES series.
Not much in common with "normal" ISS earlier.

PES is for real men. I think last Fifa i owned was Worldcup1998.

Sometimes I played FIFA 09 at a friend (he belongs to the other church), didn't get the feeling. :(
He thinks I am god, btw. He hasn't got a chance. I even play "manual" config ;)
Now he has Fifa12. Still not get the "ball-feeling" like in PES series.

We are getting older, but some guys still meet minimum once a month to play PES 2vs2, with around 5-6 people. Winner team stays toghether. Sometimes we do tournaments against each other.
Thats real fun. Especially the bashing and babble....also highfive and trashing the others when you score a goal of course. :D
Part of the game.

The licenses are not really a problem for me. You can patch everything easiely, especially on PC version, and then the game is even greater, by help of PES corner for example.

yeah that is why i like fifa

every 2 months about 10 of my mates will come over and well have a massive tournament. We call if 'FIFA KING TOURNAMENT' - 2 groups everyone plays each other in the group, top 2 go to semis and so on. Then when the fifa king is crowned he will no doubt go on and brag on face book until the next tournament. Calling the losers peasants and what not. It is pretty epic.
