Please, for the love of God and all that is holy, place the fucking game in London or somewhere overseas. *starts praying fervently*

You're free to your own opinion but be warned a lot of the hate on this thread for GTAIV is simply people parroting Yahtzee's opinions, same for the love of SR3. I found parts of GTAIV hilarious, especially my version of Niko who I bought a Russian hat for ASAP. Also Brucie was awesome.Bento Box said:
I agree with the location part though, I'd be nice to see it being set either in London again or maybe in a developing nation. Probably won't happen but hey, you never know.
I loved GTA IV, and thought that the griminess only made the satire bite harder (which was as present as ever - some people obviously need to play the game again to remind themselves)
I would also like to point out that GTA4 continues the dark style of GTA3 (it's New York! It's supposed to be moody!), and that it's VC and SA which were the diversions from the norm, hence their non-sequential titles.
That being said, Vice City is still my favourite GTA overall and I think a return to the setting would be fantastic. Or London

the game went too far with making it realistic. the whole seatbelt/bike helmet thing was the real pisser for me. can't Niko multitask like the previous characters and put the seatbelt on while he drives? i've had moments where i was ejected through the windscreen after moving the car forward a metre from bumping into the car infront or a small wall.
i admit the story was good and gameplay worked, but it had none of the charm of the previous games, it felt like its competitors too much. after the story mode there was nothing interesting to do and the multiplayer was clunky and was rarely fun (the spawn system was crap).
I'm interested to see what they come up with in GTAV but if its the same as GTAIV i'm not bothering, between real life and all these games trying to be realistic i'd rather something not serious like Saints Row, Assassin's creed and Space Marine.
Realism and Grittiness is not a fun game concept.
I'm talking history here, were counting GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas aswell. Saints Row aint got shit on that line-up.Macrobstar said:
Besides, saying SR2 is better than GTA4 is kinda wrong. That's just your subjective opinion. I'm pretty sure many people would prefer GTA4.
Well SR doesn't go back before this gen, so all we have to compare it to is GTA: Immigrant bowling simChaoticKraus said:
Really interested to see if it avoids going back to the San Andreas type GTA because SR seems to have a good grip on that market (especially if the 3rd is good/reviewed well) and instead stick with the more realistic GTAIV model... not long to wait though! only 8 daysAppleShrapnel said:Irrelevant. Saints Row: The Third is coming out in less than a month.
And plenty of people would agree with Macrobstar, so I dont see how thats a pertinent point.ChaoticKraus said:
Plus Rockstars previous effort were not part of the discussion, the point was that SR2 was much more fun then GTA4 for a large number of people, namely the old time fans of GTA who felt a little betrayed by the games shifted focus.
And yes Im aware of that the game had elements of the clasic GTA satirical humour but it was sidelined into little extras compared to the gritty focus of the main plot and gameplay.
I hate it when they pull that kind of shit. You have something to show us, show it. Those kinds of teases are just annoying.
And since this is Rockstar we're talking about, that means we most likely won't have a single gameplay video before release.
Oh, and for the record, I'm hoping for (and expecting) Vice City.

I for one actually hope they don't make GTAV it's old, wacky self. That's what Saints Row is for. (Although I hate Saints Row series.)
Realism wasn't really the psyche of IV either. Sure it wasn't as crazy as the prequels, but it had a solid story and great atmosphere.
I think the main problem was the gameplay/ missions were a little bland and repetitive. IV had the makings of a great game, it just wasn't thinking outside the box. It was missing some of its crazy streak.
(Compare it with Red Dead, which is a similar build but with a greater variation of things to do)
People need to be more optimistic about GTAV, and need to stop comparing it to its prequels.

Please, please let me just kill my stupid cousin with his big American titties this time. Why do you always need to so many human failures as your side-kick? That's just wrong.
Now Johnny Gat, even Carlos were fun. They had their lucid moments and didn't cause you that much trouble because of their inborn incompetence.

As long as rockstar keep the dark humor, great storyline, the brilliant locations, graphics and the fantastic car models, I'll be happy. I'm not bothered about over the top zaniness, saints row can cover that for me. To be frank, I don't even see how people can complain GTA IV wasn't over the top, when you could easily wreck havoc with some creative thinking, have mad races against you mates in ice cream trucks and encounter some brilliant characters. And that was even before the ballard of gay tony...
Nah, it has more to do with the setting. For one, I'm sick of modern city sandboxes. Another thing I'm sick of in games: Driving cars. Red Dead Redemption offered a unique (and beautiful) setting for video games and had a great story to go along with it. And I found myself getting attached to my horse, and actually took a moment to pay respects when a cougar got to it.JoJoDeathunter said:
OT: I can't say I'm looking forward to this, as I'm hopelessly burnt out on much of what makes a GTA game a GTA game. Not that I'm gonna say the games are bad. My tastes have just changed.
