HEY NIKO ITS YOUR SHITHEAD COUSIN, HEY NIKO IT"S YOUR BITCHFACE GIRLFRIEND, HEY NIKO IT'S THAT EGOTISTICAL WANK BRUCIE! HEY NIKO ROMAN HATES YOU BECAUSE YOU REFUSED TO DRINK WITH HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY IMPORTANT MISSION! GTA 4 in my opinion was a game with extremely high standards to live up to. There was the hype, the fact that it had to meet certain standards on the next-gen, the fact that it had to be just as good if not better than its brilliant predecessors. Oh yeah, and why did they have to set it in Liberty city again. That brings the count to three times usage of that samey, uninteresting city with very little in the way of jetpacks, easter eggs and nerds who demand you help them win an RC war (God bless San Andreas). And the missions were all very monotonous when compared to other grand theft auto games as well (Like I said, this was the main reason gta 4 was quite a bland game) in san andreas, you got to fly onto a train controlled by military in the outskirts of Las Vegas (I can't remember what they called that area in game) with a jetpack to steal wierd green goo from outer space, all because a hippie bloke wanted it. In gta 4, you got to go from point A to point B, take out some bloke who was ruffling some feathers then go home and watch television. IN GTA 3, you got to blow up some sweet-tooth mobsters by rigging an ice cream van with explosives (Lure those fools to their doom with the jingly jingly). In gta 4, you got to go to a rooftop, find a rifle and shoot a guy in a nearby apartment by luring him off the couch and to the phone (Admittedly, I loved the clever ways you had to use your phone in gta 4).

Oh,lookie here. A rabid GTA fanboy. Well,let me explain. The physics engine is fun indeed. But.

A) What is GTA without tank over-the-top rampages? No-one cares M131 weighs around 100 kilograms,it's always satisfying to use them. Screw realism,i want entertainment!

B) Minigames were just dull. Ones in Saints Row were mildly enjoyable,but bowling? Or darts? Come on! It's too mundane for Grand Theft Auto!
wtf is with you kind of people (not a racist remark but a average gamer) what is it?! you want a good story you get a good story and complain about realism in saints row 2 you complain about it being to damn stupid! WTF is wrong with you lot stop complaining about what you get and enjoy life while you live world could end tommorow or in 762 billion years who knows could end seconds after i post this but anyway.
EDIT: why blow a person up with a minigun when its so much more fun to shoot them in both ankles then in their head and have them fly back like 50 metres.

I spend hours pushing people onto train tracks and sending them flying with my helicopter's rotorblades. How is that not fun?

I'm gonna go ahead and say that it tripped over somewhere and banged its head and forgot it wasn't Saints Row 2.

That was... incoherent. But from what i read,you tell us is to get the fuck over it and enjoy our games. If you meant that,well. Seconded then. As for "complaining about seriousness",no. We're not complaining about seriousness. We're complaining about how this game cannot decide what it wants to be - a pool of mindless fun or gritty realism. If it was pitch-black noir a-la Sin City,i could probably appreciate that.

And yes,as i said,GTA IV physics/animation engine is just brilliant.

I liked it.It was a tight Gangster story, with a believable city.I liked San Andreas much more, but I still liked the IV

They should have made it more fun with about 20,000 single player cheats to have fun with and a certain multiplayer mode that allows you to use cheats(they would also need a mode where you are not allowed to use cheats otherwise the online would totally suck).

San Andreas had so many cheats, it was a laugh messing around with them all day.

Then the shear amount of things you could do in SA-MP was amazing.

I thought that it was a bit too realistic.

Not that it wasen't fun even with the realism.
It was always funny to watch Niko go flying out of a car, off a bridge and land on a boat.
