Best sandbox game after GTAIV. That's for sure.

Third, you are the first person I've seen ever label GTAIV the best sandbox game. Because it's an awful sandbox game. Since there's no sandbox.

I'll pick it up for the story, but stay for the social commentary. Video games is my only window to the outside world.

I'll come for the Himuro backpedalling and stay for the Saints Row 3.
Title: Re: GTAV HYPE POLL
Post by: Himu on November 02, 2011, 03:11:54 PM
There's no need to backpedal. It'll likely be a good game, and there hasn't been enough shown to get reasonably hyped for, and with Saints Row the Third on the horizon, there's not much to care either.

Hey methodis, how do you feel pimping a game that is a self purported "serious" game that features such witty in-game inclusions such as "groupe sechs" and "tw@ cafe" or the more recent -- included in the gta5 trailer -- "speedophile"?

GTA is far more banal and juvenile than SR ever will be.

Fairly quick? It doesn't get truly tedious until well into the McReary family missions and nosedives in the mafia storyline.

The Elizabeta, Playboy, Dwayne, UL Paper, Francis and Packie McReary missions were all gold. GTAIV's problem is mostly the tail end of the story mode and the incessant clingy crap from your "friends", problems which GTAIV's expansions, TLAD and BGOT fix.

So by your argument, GTAIV's expansions aren't good? Because they are.

Then why constantly make jabs at SR being for 13 year olds? :smug I'm merely flipping the logic here.

The first few hours are bad because they're mostly terribly vapid tutorial missions.

That game has horrendous pacing issues.

hmm sounds like Final Fantasy XIII

GTA = Final Fantasy of the West, a once great franchise that disappeared up its own ass in the name of "narrative", leaving none but Himumu to white knight its fallen modern state? seems so

I seem to be the only person who thinks Three Leaf Clover was merely okay. I preferred Vice City's bank heist more.

I thought the first few hours of GTA4 were the best (sans DLC)  :-[

Most of the missions were low-key.  Because it was small and dense, you didn't need to drive much.  Mission were simple and varied, even if most were dull chores.  Game started getting worse when you hit Bohan.  Then in Manhattan it just got to be a pain in the ass.  Lots of driving, more shootin, more action.  No checkpoints, bad combat, bad driving, and all that stuff suddenly felt a whole lot worse when the map was larger.  It's also when I realized that for a detailed and lively world, there really isn't anything to do.  Um, you can shoot pigeons.

Mostly why I'm excited for GTAV is because the DLCs were a lot better than the main game.  I liked Lost and Damned a lot.

Post by: Himu on November 02, 2011, 04:59:08 PM
Yeah, I really liked Lost and the Damned a ton.
Title: Re: GTAV HYPE POLL
Post by: Great Rumbler on November 02, 2011, 05:21:22 PM
I played Lost and the Damned a bit [5-6 hours maybe, don't remember exactly], but I remember really quick why I ended up disliking vanilla GTAIV and LatD didn't do a whole lot to fix those things.
Title: Re: GTAV HYPE POLL
Post by: Himu on November 02, 2011, 05:31:48 PM
Try out Ballad of Gay Tony then. It's more "whacky" than GTAIV and TLAD. Personally, I'm not too fond of Gay Tony because you go on silly missions and while that's great and all, it creates a disconnect because the world of GTAIV is anything but colorful and enjoyable.
Title: Re: GTAV HYPE POLL
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on November 02, 2011, 05:57:57 PM
Sorry, I played maybe 7 hours of GTAIV and I was never entertained, and most of the time I was simply annoyed.  Easily the most overhyped game of the forever.

qft.

Nice catch; OP, please include Third's misguided, backhanded praise in the poll.

I actually started liking the game, driving around the city and doing the missions. But somewhere along the way my excitement faded and just kept fading and fading. By the time I got to the end, I just left with a sour taste in my mouth at the whole affair and I'm going to be doubly wary of GTAV.
Title: Re: GTAV HYPE POLL
Post by: chronovore on November 02, 2011, 09:29:54 PM
ain't no party like a himuro backpedal party

Himumu never backpedals -- he just changes lanes, switches teams, and reverses direction with disregard for his own memory.

It's innocent!

You guys are mean and I'm not backpedaling!
