How in all the holy hells was GTA IV a terrible game? The only terrible thing about it was its performance on the PC.rcorporon said:

Let's see:
-boring story
-boring characters
-lame girlfriend / dating mechanics
-bowling
-comedy shows
-mediocre graphics
-annoying, never ending calls about "American Titties"
-less "sandboxy" than the other GTA's
-no customization options for the player to choose

In short, I enjoyed GTA when it was Vice City or San Andreas.
GTA IV wasn't my cup of tea.
I didn't think it was boring.rcorporon said:
What? Are you serious? How are Brucie, Packie, Little Jacob or Manny boring?rcorporon said:
largely optional, except for two occasions during the story.rcorporon said:

Huh? I haven't found a game with GTA 4's scope that had better graphics.rcorporon said:
You can disable those, IIRC.rcorporon said:
In what way, exactly? You can do all the things you did in the previous games, except there isn't a vast empty landscape like in (only) San Andreas.rcorporon said:
Huh?rcorporon said:
If you mean the RPG mechanics that were only introduced in San Andreas and didn't really serve a purpose, then I'm very glad they threw those out.

Yeah, this isn't exactly the same as terrible.rcorporon said:

Fitting that the discussion starts to lean towards GTA IV. Max Payne 3 looks like "GTA: Sao Paolo" anyway.

Hah no kidding. Some developers just can't leave their box I guess. I never had good feelings about this once I heard Remedy was out of the picture, McCaffrey being left out and these latest screenshots...meh.
Game industry just has to kill every good IP.
Boxster 987 is a terrible car. I mean:rcorporon said:
-sluggish performance
-boring color
-annoying horn sound
-mediocre off-road handling
-petrol isn't environment friendly
-not enough room for my wife and five kids
In short, I enjoyed Boxster when it was 986. 987 isn't my cup of tea.
No, but we don't call games 'terrible' and proof that subsequent games will also be terrible just because we don't *like* a game.rcorporon said:
We only do that when it's called Fallout 3.
When you call a game terrible you should have some objectively solid reasons for it, not just the fact that you don't like the style of game.

I've enjoyed all previous GTA's up to IV, and I also like inFamous, so it has nothing to do with the style of game.
GTA IV, in MY opinion, was terrible. I didn't play more than 45 mins of it, as I found it's terribleness hard to take.
Simple as that.
As for my reasons, I've listed them. If you don't like it, that's something you'll have to deal with.
You're seriously going to call an entire game terrible because you didn't like the first 45 minutes? And then you list a bunch of reasons (which I all debunked), that are based on those 45 minutes of playtime, while most of the objectionable content are simply not present in the rest of the game?
Seriously, you call the characters boring while all the fun characters appear a little later in the game. You call the game less sandboxy even though you only played *45 minutes*?
And again: not liking the game is not a good reason for calling it terrible. If a game reviewer writes a review about NWN2, lambasting it because he hates RPGs, then everyone bals at it. For good reason.
As a comparison, Fallout 3 is a poor game because it is buggy, its writing is terrible, its characters are bland and one-dimensional, the choices you make have very little consequences, and there is almost no practical difference between your character development choices.
Those are all verifiable reasons based on a full playthrough. Not a list of minor gripes that aren't even based on giving the game a decent amount of time.

if you have only played 45 minutes of a game then called it shit, your opinions are no longer valid.
GTAIV was awesome, Vice City still holds a special place in my heart though.

meh, this looks pretty generic. Definitely loses a lot of the uniqueness of Max Payne
