More GTA stories....

Posted on Tue May 06, 2008 at 04:32:58 PM EST

GTA 4 has now been out for a week and taken the GearHeads by storm.  I haven't seen anyone playing Halo 3 or COD 4 since last Tuesday and even Gears has only gotten a few nights of lovin.  So with all of those hours of gameplay...what's new?

After playing GTA 4 for a full week, what do you think?

Does it live up to the hype? If so, prove it by sharing a story or two showing the sweet, sweet shenanigans GTA 4 has for us.

I'll start-
One: On top of my car flipping over a police car in a high speed chase, then landing and taking off down the high way; Two: Watching GearChris take out an old lady with a bonnet for spilling her groceries right in front of him; and Three: having my mom laugh historically at a crazy taxi driver... there is one more experience I'd like to share:

But I don't want to ruin it for you...;) Wherever you are in your GTA 4 world, stop what your doing and go jack a FireTruck. Then push the "LB" button on your controller for a hilarious surprise. Just hope nearby pedestrians have an umbrella....


Display:

Yes...

Halo stinks and isn't as diverse as GTA4  IMO.  I think GTA4 rulez!  ;-)  JK.

On a side note:

I called Roman's taxi, it got stuck and backed up into a gas station and blew us both up, and i was in a good mission.  Too funny.

Live up to the hype?

no. It surpises it for me. :)

Seriously, every moment i play with the game is fresh and insanely awesome. Some of the best moments in gaming have happened.

Zoso, I can't understand your third

sentence, just before the smiley.

Ah, got it. It surpasses it for me.

Right?  Cool!

I still think the driving and the huge city is just awesome.  I am actually getting familiar with the streets.

Is there anyone who can go to a location without checking their radar yet?  Just knowing that they need to "take a right, left, go straight, and then another right" kind of thing?  I think as one becomes more familiar with the city, the game will take on even more significance (and your affection will be even deeper).

But did you like the

video I linked?  ha ha ha

In hindsight, I should have chosen the version with John Travolta driving across Broker...er Brooklyn Bridge.

Honestly,

compared to many other games that came out recently, this didn't have as much hype. I think a big part of that was keeping their game under wraps up to and through launch. There are literally HUNDREDS of features in the game that they didn't even mention in any type of press release or demo. I really feel that R* wants gamers to discover these things for themselves. For me, the game FAR surpasses the hype, I really don't see how you could be disappointed with this one. I mean, it has a freaking 9.9 on metacritic, come on!

hmm

If it wasn't for achievements, this game would have been collecting dust.

I LOVE playing GTA 4, but the only reason why I won't return it is because of achievements.

And those are

the kind of people that are starting to ruin gaming.

As for me, there's WAY too many stories for me think of. But I can say, that just the Script writing for both the Characters and Radio Stations are some of the best writings I've ever witnessed... ever. So, I'm actually happy I didn't watch the Trailers because I love finding a new character and not know, or expect anything of how they act.

I

 didn't watch many of the trailers either, Brucie is freaking hilarious.  The writing and story just draws you in and makes you want to keep playing to see what is going to happen next.  The quality is just awesome in the voice overs as well.

I've actually been

weening off of playing for two reasons: Parkour, and I'm too scared to get closer to finishing the story - it's that effin' EPIC.

Sweety

 I remember that with the old lady, after I killed her I told you I felt bad for killing her LOL.  This game is a total blast to play.  The SP has me hooked right now, I haven't played anymore MP since last Friday.  Can someone who is good at flying the helicopter give me some pointers??  I am on the one mission where you have to follow another helicopter and I cannot keep up with it.  But anyways the game is amazing and totally has me addicted :)  Good write up Sweety :)

Hookers...

Have any of you picked up a hooker yet.  Man, lemme tell you, they don't just sit beside you in the car as it rocks anymore, oh no...  You can get the $20 treatment, $50 treatment, or the $70 treatment.  I love it, just like real life, er, so I've "heard"...

P.S.  Remember to buckle up!

You laugh because I'm different........... I laugh cause I just farted!

In regards to the poll

No game is perfect.

I think it can live to the hype and be "Near perfect, but some flaws". lol Thats every game.
