We all have already began to sink our teeth into what was possibly the most anticipated game of all time. Everyone likes the GTA franchise and it is obvious by how well it is selling. There was a few flaws, not many, but just enough to make you rethink the purchase.
#5) Offers Low End Graphics
You play the game and you feel as if you are playing GTA III all over again, only now, in the current generation, it isn't exciting because 1) you have done this before and 2) it offers the same thing over and over again 3) the graphics only improved a little (in terms of what was capable). The game offered graphics that were just "ok", nor amazing nor crap, which is fine as long as the game is good.
#4) It Did Not Revolutionize
It really isn't fair to compare any game to GTA III, but after experiencing GTA III for the first time-- you came away with this great feeling that the gaming world was changing for the better. With GTA IV I don't get that feeling-- it feels rehashed, rushed, and repetitive. I like my games to be different, or more should I say "evolving"--like I had not ever experienced anything like it. If I don't get this experience the game is either a sequal, shovelware, or a movie game.
#3) Horrible Car Physics
This is a serious beef that I have with this game. The cars are all over the place, you can be driving straight down the highway and the car will come right out from under you. Most people would think that this was no big deal but, WHEN THE NAME OF YOUR GAME IS "GRAND THEFT AUTO" I EXPECT THE CARS TO DRIVE LIKE CARS AND NOT JET SKI'S.
#2) Repetitive
The games offer what I like to call "changing replays". Which is basically "I killed a cop and he chased me, I was eventually cought after destroying the town" then 5 minutes later the same thing will happen again only this time in a different part of town. Eventually, it may be an hour, you will get bored and turn your console off.
#1) Same Old Stuff
I think it was 1 1/2 days ago that I posted the 5 things GTA IV lacked, and it was a fairly well accepted article, but I went over the 5 things I though the game was missing. Well I am hammering this issue a crap ton then because I hate games that offer nothing new accept the look (which is only moderately different) and the story line (which is the best part of GTA IV), give me something new to do. Let me go walk around the city selling hot dogs, or let me own a store that sells porn. I don't care what it is, just give me something new!
