The Top 5 Reasons GTA IV WIll Disappoint
I know you all have your opinions, and don't get me wrong, I think it will be a very good game. I just don't see it living up to everything everyone is saying. I think it is likely that a few of you will be disappointed, and maybe that is just because Rockstar is so darned good. I love the GTA series and I really do hope it is the best installment. Here are the top 5 reasons you can plan to be disappointed.
#5) Same Old Or Brand New
From what I have been reading across several forum boards, you guys seem to believe it will be an entire new experience or a near exact clone of III with a few enhancements. This to me is bad, you never want something that is a complete change-up because it could potentially lead to flaws. At the same token though, you don't want the same game in a different box. I would think you would want a mix up, a good amount of new and some of the old.
#4) Won't Revolutionize
Grand Theft Auto III did so much for the game industry it is unbelievable. I do not really see the new GTA matching up in this category though. The industry has changed so much from the time of GTA III's release. From what I have seen on footage and trailors, you can probably expect worse graphics than you have gotten from other games so far in this generation.
#3) First GTA Of This Generation
Now I know that GTA III was also a first for its generation, but also you must realize that there was no other market and competition was almost nil. It is going to be an entire new experience for Rockstar and there was a lot of pressure on them to make sure they didn't screw up. So you can expect some pretty safe gameplay, no glitches, and few new features.
#2) GTA III Sets The Bar Through The Roof
You all remember GTA III, and we all rate it as one of the top games of all time. Most of you believe that GTA IV will beat that, not only is that unrealistic, it just won't be happening. Rockstar has huge expectations and the pressure to live up to them are just too high.
#1) No Game Can Ever Live Up To GTA's Expectations
This one is almost self explanatory. GTA IV has been hyped so much and with Rockstars delay that hype has just been multiplying. The bar has been set above the level of possible, it is so high no game could ever possibly reach it. So you can expect to be disappointed.
There is the top 5 reasons you will be disappointed. Yes it will still be a good game though.
