Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto IV

[pulse2]

Why do people keep on banning people who comment first, get a life just let them comment.

Because we try to have some level of intelligence around here and the first post want intelligent.

Point made

I think the biggleswhatever is an indication of waiting for the GTA London 2 Alternativly we could just get Getaway 3.

Funnier? The amount of people banned on the first page or Yahtzee's review.

It's a close one, but the review does it. The still of a dinosaur at the start made it.

And Yah Boo Sucks to Realism already!

Hey Yahtzee, you know what you should do? Take a look at the hate-mail you get for your reviews and if those cok knockers really do say fucked up shit that makes absolutely no fuckin sense at all you should make like a side episode to shut the fucktards up and to put a smile on our faces. Well if you do read this just an advice if you have time to do so.

Your remark on the ps3 version is rather silly. You say to ''avoid'' the ps3 version because of something extra and 100% optional which can be turned off? ... hm weird

Somehow i imagine Yahtzee going "hook, line, and sinker."

he not talking about the motion sensing he's talking about the shitty trigger buttons that hang off the back & feel weird & spoogy,....that's when your fingers aren't slipping off them!.

I've never been a great fan of the Grand Theft Auto series so I was interested to see what Yahtzee had to make of it. An interesting review but Yahtzee seems to be increasing the speed of his voice with each successive review. In 5 months it may become easy to copy the experience of a Yahtzee review by playing a scratchy disk with loud volume and watching a slideshow made entirely out of images from paint.

Wow I have had a few replies about me saying that. Soz for bringing it up it just seemed to me that the first few people are always banned did't realise that it was cos they were being twats.

Oh and Press X to exaggerate financial standing needs a T-Shirt.

BTW:
Boze pravde, ti sto spase
od propasti do sadnas,
cuj i od sadnase glase,
i odsad nam budi spas.
Mocnom rukom vodi, brani
buducnosti srpske brod,
Boze spasi, Boze hrani
nasu zemlju i nas rod.

Slozi srpsku bracu dragu
na svak' dican slavan rad,
sloga bice poraz vragu,
a najjaci srpstvu grad.
Nek' na srpstvu blista grana
bratske sloge zlatan rod,
Boze spasi, boze hrani
moli ti se sav nas rod.

Nek na srpsko vedro celo
tvog ne padne gneva grom,
blagoslovi Srbu selo
polje, njivu, grad i dom!
Kad nastupe borbe dani,
k' pobedi mu vodi hod.
Boze spasi, Boze hrani
Srpskog Kralja, srpski rod!

Iz mracnoga sinu groba
srpske krune novi sjaj,
nastalo je novo doba,
novu srecu Boze daj.
Kraljevinu srpsku brani,
pet vekovne borbe plod.
Boze spasi, Boze hrani,
moli ti se srpski rod!

As they say in Serbia : It was written in 1872 with music by Davorin Jenko and lyrics by Jovan Đorđević.

Grand Theft Biggleswade kept me laughing for ages.

Same, was pleasently suprised to see my High Street on a ZP! video

Heh, I've never actually played the game (curse you, PC gaming depression!), but after hearing all the extra bits like drunk driving and going bowling and watching shows and stuff in-game I was indeed wondering why the hell anybody would want to do that in a GTA game. I also started to question it when I kept hearing people say words of praise about the fact that GTA had turned serious with an actual serious storyline and serious lovable characters and all. I was afraid they might have neglected the sandboxing the series was famous for a little too much.

Loved the review, chuckled here and there, and simply loved to hear somebody actually pointing out some flaws in the game instead of writing a review that's more of an ode to GTA4 than actually telling us, the consumers, the goods and bads.

Also, this first commenting is turning into an art form.


Anxiously awaing the TBA release of Grand Theft Biggleswade,

Uh oh, you live there too? I bet I know you :S

 

[Lzdarkangel]

i'll comment on this it was funny good even but not much more glad he pointed out all the problems with the gta franchise apart from the fact its the same game over and over with slight twists on characters and story and the only fun thing to do is the whole drive around psycotically until the police fbi or army or even urself kills u arrests u or whatever therefore after a week i stop playin and or get rid of the game but the great thing about this one the normally very thin plot line is a bit thicker and more interestin to me so i haven't put it down.

I've heard other reviewers complain about how "realistic" graphics consist of brown and gray, but GTA4 does manage to make use of the other colors in the spectrum...eventually. The first time I drove through Liberty City's faux Times Square and saw all of the bright lights and colorful displays I nearly had a seizure.

**Turns off strobe light*
... oh, sorry.

 

[Supermane1985]

Another great review but I don't understand his problem with the PS3 version, the controls are perfect and you have to go out of your way to turn on the mostly functinoal SIXAXIS controls (the motion reload is actually quite nice).

 

[Alphavillain]

I see my pleading with Mr.Crowshaw to review this game has paid off...or else he ignored me and did it anyways. Who cares? The best GTA review I've read/seen.

 

[OurGloriousLeader]

Also: A point he missed out was the complete lack of use for money.

apart from to buy guns clothes as well the dates they cost and thats bout it as far as i can tell so far

You actually used my country's (Serbia) national anthem ("Boze Pravde") in the opening sequence... I never saw that coming...

Ironically if you try to pull some of the things from the game off, here in Serbia, you'd probably get away with it...
