Why do you even want it?

 

[Echo Mirage]

I expect we will hear more about the PC release with the inevitable next gen re-release.

 

[Jick Magger]

I actually like the GTA games.

Well I've played both, and can assure you that you're not missing anything of value.

 

[Surf Solar]

I've played them as well and had good fun with them. So?
I also occasionally revisit the Games multiplayermode, its good. And this is coming from someone normally preferring singleplayergames.

 

[Metro]

I've played all of them excluding the 4th because of SecuRom, RockStar Social, etc. They're fun but ever since multiple parties started jumping in the open world driving/chaos games with Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs, etc. I can't say I've put any future installments on my 'must play' list.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Has anyone posted this?

 

[Curious_Tongue]

You know what's stopping me from playing this game? Franklin.

He stresses me out. He's not a protagonist, he's a dead weight like Niko was, only worse.

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Well, I remember I played GTA 3, VC and SA and did everything on those games, a 100% completion. I played GTA 5, and the 3 charaters system actually is kind of boring. The story and dialogues are not fun and tries too hard. I'd prefer they'd focus on one main character, and a more cohesive plot. It's an improvement over GTA 4, but it is far inferior to SA and VC.

VC is 80's nonsense galore , and SA had a better cast of characters.

Trevor is overrated, and i don't find him funny at all... I can't actually understand what they were trying to portray with him.

Oh and don't believe san andreas of GTA 5 is bigger than the one in GTA:SA. It may actually be, but GTA:SA still feels bigger.

I was really hyped for this months ago. Now I'm not sure I'll bother even if they do eventually port it.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

It's still worth playing.

 

[Daedalos]

Fuck you, Rockstar.

Does this formula still hold true for part V?

Add yoga to the formula.

I went ahead and got it on PS3 and was bored in a few hours. It's pretty much the same exact shit from before and I guess I'm bored of it.

Hehe, fortunately there is only one instance of "forced yoga" in the game IIRC.

My experience with GTA IV: tutorial for ten or so hours, watch Nico feel pity of himself and being a bitch for everyone, waste 10 boring mins driving to destination, shoot fish in the barrel for 10 mins, drive back and waste another 10 mins of my life. Played for hours hoping the shit would become better, waited and waited for a single character that wasn't only a getto thug, frat boy, or more than generic retard stereotype to show up. Ended giving up, is GTA V better?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

What happened to the game?
The main character that was best was Tommy Vercetti, followed by CJ.
Why? They were their own men, never some other guy's bitch.
They took what they wanted and said fuck you to everyone else.

Nico? Bitch.
Franklin, Trevor, Mike? Trevor was the only one that wasn't a bitch when he was running his own operations, but still he became a fucking punk when the group started doing shit for the FBI.
I mean, what the fuck. Mike was a self pitying asshole, Franklin was constantly waffling about how deep he wanted to go, how much he wanted to make, all of that shit, and Trevor couldn't stop bellyaching about being fucked over by Mike, and crying about how much time he spent mourning his friend.
In the end, they were all pussies for that.

Tommy Vercetti? Not so much. CJ? The only bitch he was to was to the cops, and even then he got paid for it all.

I liked Claude the most. He was a badass, silent psychopath with nothing to lose.

Also, hi everyone.

Indeed. How often can you make the same game? It's obviously a good strategy to sell a lot, but I didn't quite get the hype when I saw the videos of this. It looked like the same stuff all over. Sleeping Dogs or Saints Row give you at least some variation.

 

[Metro]

Maybe it's because I played Saints Row 3 within a year or so of SR2 but I was fairly let down. The campaign missions were fairly short and the activities were carbon copies from the second. Questioning whether I'd buy 4 even at some $5 bargain price -- especially considering it is more like SR 3.5 than SR4.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

It's not even saints row 3.5, it's saints row: desperate cash grab from sinking publisher.

Volition did a decent job at making it enjoyable though.

Yeah mostly the same shit. I liked the story of the retired robber dealing with having a shitty 2013 style family, that was good stuff, but it wasn't good enough to keep playing the actual game part I guess since I quit. The Housers should make movies, they're pretty good at it.

SR 4 is very different to SR3. More Prototype than GTA.

 

[Astral Rag]

I could never get into SR it's just so juvenile, retarded and painfully unfunny. I can understand why the series is so popular though:

:kwanzania: :kwafuckyeah: :patriot:

I should have made it more clear that I was referring to "different from GTA". Regarding SR4, I'm still waiting for it to hit a real bargain price. However, baturinsky is not the only one who said it was very different in feel and play style from SR3, despite being technically reusing much of the latter. I will wait with finding out for myself though.
