Well GTA 4 was a good game, I had it on ps3 and then the lost and damned and ballad of gay tony on xbox and tbh the graphics where stunning on both, GTA always sets the bench mark for games and not that many have the same level of graphics when the game was 1st released.
What I didn't like? Niko, Roman and there whole story. I never really felt invested in niko and I wanted Roman to die a lot in the game, in VC we had lance Vance who was the same sort of character, we had to save him every 5 minutes but lance was a likable guy (until the end when he betrayed tommy) and so I for one didn't mind, but with Roman I could care less, i hated the dude.
It was a lot more gritty the storyline which was good but at times felt a bit to real life for me, the way that every decision u make is the wrong one etc. I like escapism I want to feel like I achieved something at the end but i didnt.
As for that stupid part where u have to go and see people and go bowling, it was retarded, I mean its all business, noone was really friends and it just felt dumb. I agree with what someone said about the phone, I watched the shopping channel and wanted to buy the knife on it but guess what, the number didn't work.
Also the fair ground, why go through all the effort of the graphics for it not to be working? POintless.
