Played it and didn't like it.

So much boredom shouldn't be felt when trying to enjoy your self.

It takes a while to get used to the steering for me but I got real good and driving and flying helicopters XD

In multiplayer I was always the chopper guy.
Hehe, try playing it again for the first time in a year. "Ah, this will be easy, you never forget stuff like this. ...OH GOD! *Crashing through everything that can move*" XD And I'm good at flying the helicopters. I'm flying under bridges like a pro. XD

Plus it's always fun to get into the attack chopper on top of Algonquin's police station then introducing the cops there to the rotor blades... XD
I always tried skydiving and seeing what I could hit on the way down >:D
I'd always take Carmen out in a helicopter. I'd fly up with a skyscraper on my side and jump out, landing safely but sending the chopper and Carmen crashing.
So many things I did, my favorite was take Roman drinking then knock him in front of a car and hurt him.

I'm an asshole though.
That should be an achievement...

I got really bored one day and started killing people just by walking or running into them repeatedly. It works, and you don't even get any flak from the police for it (unless you do it to one of them. Then they don't like it).

Yes, I played it, and I enjoyed it immensely. I will admit the constant phone calls to go bowling did get old, but the fact that you could go out bowling or whatever was pretty awesome. The multiplayer was also quite enjoyable - getting the trophies for multiplayer, on the other hand, not so much....

Really liked it, but I was über-frustrated with the PC-port I played. Nothing could make it look half-way decent or smooth. It looked like grainy snot and was as smooth as gravel.

I didn't mind the driving actually, a little sluggish but I enjoyed racing, even online where lag was always a *****.

I played it on console(s). It was okay, but the story and "game" were quite boring IMO.
The dicking around-driving through crowds of innocents-parts were the fun.
I could spend hours crashing into signs, pedestrians, fences, busses, pedestrians, houses, bridges, pedestrians etc. Or I'd just started to throw around some nades, untill death. ending up in lampposts and such.

It was okay, but not THAT good I think. I still have the exspansions (LOTD and TBoGT) and I haven't even played the start of the balad. Perhaps I should sell it.
maybe

I have spent probably several hours fooling around on GTA4 on my friends console, but I have never played it's story. It seemed kinda fun but not really good enough for me to actually buy it.

I do always like the beginning we're your kinda the underdog, but as the story develops and you become the greatest mass murderer know to man. It kinda fails

Loved it, played it through twice and will probably do so again at some point. Never saw any problems with a lot of the issues people always seem to raise, such as the driving (seems fine to me, I've seen complaints, not in this thread, raised anywhere from "too realistic" to "too unrealistic" and everything in between.)

The only issues I'd raise would be the constant phone calls - I'm more than up for doing the activities with friends, but on my own time thanks, as well as more variety in the missions. Although they were all unique enough to stand out as memorable on their own, a lot of them did boil down to the same sort of thing, though Gay Tony goes some way to improving on that. But they were still all fun enough in their own right, so I suppose I shan't complain too much.

Finished it two times, but didn't like it as much as the older GTA games. It's a good game, to be sure, but it's just not a good GTA game. I like my GTA crazy and unrealistic, thank you very much.

I completed it and had alot of fun with it. At the time I was even considering replaying it.
It certainly didn't have as many of the fun asides or exploratory elements of San Andreas and MY GOD was Roman annoying.

Ballad of Gay Tony was a better game than vanilla GTAIV, I thought. It was just so over-the-top goofy - you know, what a Grand Theft Auto game SHOULD be.

I played it for maybe five minutes on a friend's console. I didn't really decide whether I liked it or not, all I know is that I didn't play it enough for it to impress me enough to buy it.

I played it from start to finish using nothing but a pistol, most times.
I liked the main character; I hated his cousin. I hated the grey, I hated being forced to do these stupid things for other characters but most of all, I hated driving any car in the game, which is incidentally which I took the taxi most places and skipped past the asshole who insults you all of the time.

A mate of mine has it and thinks its terrible. He let me have a go. I used his brother's save since he'd completed it already and just dicked around... for hours... and hours. My mate now thinks I'm disturbed the way I laugh as I push homeless people down stairs and set off car bombs in the hospital ward :)

Brought it on release, enjoyed it, but unlike previous GTA games, it didn't keep me much beyond storyline/sidemission completion, purely because there was actually nothing to do.

Worst 3D GTA game, easily.

The game it self was nice but just the story seemed a lil too serious compared to San Andreas, but the download The Ballad of Gay Tony was delightful!

I beat the game twice
that says alot about a 30hour game
the story is just so good
Same, but my first run was a normal, my second was for Liberty City Minute. Through my first play, I was Niko, and I was as fully immersed in the grit, the gloss, the glow of Liberty City.
