Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto IV

I read an interesting comment on a forum (can't remember which one - might've been here) about this. It doesn't pertain directly to GTA, perhaps, but it's worth mentioning nonetheless.The_root_of_all_evil said:
It was in relation to why parents object to depictions of sex in films/games more than they do to depictions of violence, and the point this guy made was that a kid might see an unrealistic depiction of violence in a game, but that kid is unlikely to ever actually engage in a shoot-out with police officers so it's kinda a moot point. On the other hand, an unrealistic 'Hollywood' depiction of sex is going to colour the kid's idea about something he or she is actually going to end up doing at some point, and so is likely to be more damaging to that kid's long-term well being.
So, is that a fair point? Discuss!
I've read a lot of the posts thus far, and I've gotta say, who cares about what's in the game? It's just that. A game. It's made to test the fibers of this planet's moral boundaries and such. It's does that well, along with entertaining the player, so who cares if we can screw a hooker, or if we can kill tons of people without a big penalty. It's only a game, a mere roadside attraction on the road of life, to paraphrase Yahtzee. So stop bitching and go have fun. Geez...
If that's your opinion, then it's rather ironic that you'd go so far as to create an account on an online game forum just to say that.WolfMage said:
Why does everyone keep getting banned for posting standard issue stuff? What is this? We have to post something original or remain hidden?
Realy should review Mario Kart Wii Yahtzee, you know you want to. Ban me if you want I'm only helping you to carry out your innermost desires.

Love your stuff man. Just an idea, maybe the reason the game was blurry and the light contrast didn't work was because you were playing it for Xbox 360. I've read various game websites like IGN and they all describes the Xbox version as lacking in frame rate.
Oh noz! He said bad things about my favorite game. I don't understand how something that is good could have flaws worth talking about. I will never come here again, because it might require me to think. I don't care so much about this "review," I made an account just to show you all how much I don't care. Where is my trusted game site that gives some number, so I don't have to read about any of the flaws and can pretend they don't exist?begbie said:
well he did say that he was gonna play it when he finished it. so this justifies that it has some playability to say the least. stuff like the witcher and assasins creed probably sit in their cases gathering dust or something, or something like SSBB which has probably been sent to the other side of the moon on some sort of space adventure thing.
so.... whats next?
so.... whats next?
It's not that, it's just that GTA4 is one of the better games he reviewed and I agree completly with the flaws he pointed out, but when all he points out are the flaws he's review is as useless as those reviews that gave it 10/10DeLukas said:
It didn't bother me untill now, but this time, it just feels too arbitrary.
It was actually a tyrannosaur. Raptors had flatter heads, less of an upper jaw and feathers.Joos said:
Plus their had forearms that could actually do things other than hang there.Mm, now I'm going to have to go and watch it again to make sure I was not deceived...!
my girlfriend has a mate thats a Game Reviewer and he puts it literal, THE GAMES TOO DAMN SHORT! Game Mag's say the game has about 40 - 50 hours worth of play in it... assuming this is all mission based play, but after he did all the normal, go around killing people with everything possible then doing the missions he said he finished GTA4 oops or should i say GTAIV in around 30 hours. 30 HOURS!!!!.... even i expected a game were it take s 2 mins to break into a car, think about what your going to use to kill your mission objective, do mindless things like tear anarchy through the city with the army after you, it would have more game play time.
