Wow!!!! Too much to read about scoring!

Better spend my time scoring in real life!!! (lame joke, I know)

On the topic, I still dont get caught in the GTA hype. I´ve played the X360 version on Gamestop and after 5 minutes I got bored! I know, I wasnt even trying to catch the story (or multiplayer), just some mindless car crashes, pedestrian runovers and getting the cops to catch me. It still doesnt do it for me. I still dont like the gameplay mechaniscs. CoD4 gives me enjoyment even though I repeatdly play over and over again.

I was soooo hyped for this game. When i first played it i was blown away ....but honestly for some unknown reason it's just not doing it for me anymore...its like im forcing myself to like it more then i really do....its nothing compared to the feeling i got and continued to have while playing C.O.D.4 ....and i was way more hyped for GTA4 ....

oh and by the way i know they're different games....i like both styles....so comparing the two in my case is justified.

and the CHASING people down missions ...OMG i wanna efing kill someone when they get away and you have to start over.....

Tommyboy ;)

Lol, I was able to get some after my second date with the first girl!   I guess I just have skills.

Edit: PSU banned me for saying her name.  This game is becoming more fun the longer I play it.

Totally Twisted...

I agree with you about the underwhelmingness of this game. Yes, it is pretty. And yes, the mechanics are greatly improved. But I would argue that there is not enough to do.

I am a fanboy, but this statement is not because of it: The game is suffering from being  multiplatform. There are so many hings left out because there is not enought space. There are only a few outfits. There is no property to buy(which is annoying when you want to save). There really is no point to having money. You keep all the weapons you have when you die and rarely will the police bust you over killing you.

There is just not enough balance, it almost seems like a test. Vice City and San Adreas were the same as GTAIII, but with more stuff. Imagine 5 times more space on the Bluray. I am willing to bet that GTAV (which is already being cooked up) will be exclusive, and it will feel more rounded. I'm already bored with GTAIV.

I agree with you bouth (Totally Twisted & infernaut). I was really hyped for for this game before and during release. I played for about 4 hours and lost interest. All I do no now is plug in the cheats & blow up/shoot everthing in sight. Oh Yeah, and the vehicles are pretty cool too (with the cheats). **SIGH** I will still play COD4 and Rock Band more. That's pretty bad, These 2 games are a lot older yet I still enjoy them more that GTA4.

psnid; helghast_igor  tommorow i am geting this game i am sooo exsited 

This is kind of a *spoiler*, not that it totally gives away any major point(s) of the game, but you guys (PSU) might want to consider putting a spoiler notice into stuff like this. People may want to figure these types of things out on their own. Funny stuff though :)

I dont know what game you guys are playing but its not GTA4 the online is incredible the story mode is great and its the best game out. I havent lost interest with this game and its been fantastic all the way threw. The story gets better and better with each and every mission.

Aww, you posted it here before I could read it in the specialty section, lol..  Now I don't feel special.. :-(

@ vl5ion: It's implyed that these are spoilers, lol..

Please don't get on my case for asking this, but is it possible to date guys?   I tried to date some marked as "gay' but they all respond with "not interested".  Is this at all possible?  I figured you could kinda do this in Bully, so it's a little disappointing that so far I can't seem to do it in GTA4.

@chawknz:  Nobody should make fun of you, but at least you'll know who all the mature people are here.  I think RockStar had enough to worry about with other features getting bashed by media that they didn't need to hear they were promoting gay sex.

From what I've heard, GTA IV looks nice but San Andreas was much more fun.  I hope I'm wrong when I pick up my copy.

GTA4 is a great game. I am not gay but to be honest with you I think it would be funny to see them promoting gay relation. The way the game is set up with dates and junk is you gotta build up trust and get to know the person then you get to do the deed. Same way gay people do it too. I dont see why they shouldnt of added if and if you want your guy to be gay he should be gay. I really think they just need to let everyone free if a guy wants to marry a guy let them do it the government shouldnt bash on a game since there expressing their views on gay relations threw a game.

Well I'm enjoying this game ALOT. I do think that if this was a PS3 exclusive we would have seen more things added to the game (like more interiors etc).

One thing I'm confused about with the dating is, when you finally get lucky with the girls on the uncensored version do you only see the apartment from the outside like in San Andreas? Or is it like in this pic :
