Default Re: GTA IV: GameTavern's Impressions

What people who haven't played it won't understand, is it's not really a GTA game.

You're playing someone's life. It just happens that he does shifty things at times.
You can go bowling, go on dates, text people, call people, watch TV, or the old-fashioned stabbing hookers.


The fighting style in this (melee fighting) is really well-done, I think. Not perfect, but miles above the other ones, without a doubt.

The game LOOKS stunning when you play it. I haven't even played it on my 46'' TV yet, but it still looks amazing on a 30''.

I found the "secret package" of this game: Shooting pigeons. There are 200 of them. I've shot 1.

What I also love about this game, is it judges what the characters say, based on what's happening. I was on my way to a date, and Roman called, I answered and said I was busy. Instead of having to help him fight, I had to pick him up from the Hospital. It still made me do the "Help him" mission, but the character was all "Thanks for not being busy with a girl this time, eh" and stuff like that. I thought that was pretty cool.

I love the no-load times. I love the fluid gameplay. I love the realism in driving, although braking without flying 5 blocks past your turn before doing a 360 into a lightpole and hitting a pedestrian while trying to get back on course, will be hard. I have no complaints.

The sixaxis controls for driving are really well done. Not too touchy, not too clingy. The only hard thing with them, is flying the helicopters. That shit is fucking hard with sixaxis.

Anyways, buy the goddamn game.
Buy it now.

Edit: "Girls like it when you do things unexpectedly. One minute you're walking down the street, the next minute BAM! IM SMASHING YOUR HEAD, INTO THIS FREAKING LIGHTPOST. UNH, UNH, UNH!"
