Archive: 50 posts


Lol hey guys, havent been on lately xD
i bought gta iv for pc recently thinking that it would run it nicely but i thought wronggg. i can play but it hurts ur eyes after a while and its not that good so theres no point of doing missions, just screwing around in cars.
and all this for 40$ cad.

im gona throw this game out if the video game store nearby doesnt wanna give me anything, its really sad. i even have the reciept that shows it was bought yesturday.
oh well xD

Have you tried downloading the latest patch and graphics card drivers? They should improve the performance.2009-06-05 01:32:00

Meh your CPU is fine. Just a new graphic card should do the trick.

But I have a question, don't you check the specs BEFORE buying a game? This would prevent bad surprises like this.

In fairness you should easily meet minimum specs. That's why PC games have customisable graphics options. And for GTA I'd rather take the hit on graphics for the keyboard and mouse interface on the PC, but that's me.

I am curious in what way it hurts your eyes though?

Give me some valid things why it's a bad game.
it's still one of the best 08 games.

80% of the time you play bowling or darts. Now, how is that mob related at all.
It's boring, and there's no fun in blowing stuff up, unlike San Andreas.

That's exactly it, the game gets the best reviews even though it hasn't improved on any of the previous games in the series whatsoever.

mostly only 5% of the time.

also...

-blowing stuff up is ALOT more fun then in SA, because it has a much better engine

-who wastes time on friends?
when they call, tell them you'll be there and then cancel the meet by phoning them.

seriously, this game is sooo much fun, and it really improved.

Obviously, you and I were playing two different games, seeing as I had the options of, you know, denying an incoming friend activity.
Also, some of these friend activities were kinda fun. Heli tours, Boating, Drunk Driving... Hell, I even felt darts were okay. And if I didn't feel like doing any of that crap I just cancelled these plans.

GTA IV is an ok game. I play it every once in a while (on PS3) when I'm bored. The most fun I have is getting a car super damaged until it's on fire, then park it in a busy intersection, get out and watch the fireworks. BOOM!

The game has a little something for everyone I guess, but I get bored if I play more than an hour or two. IMO it doesn't deserve the (undoubtedly biaised/bought) 100% score some reviewers have given it, simply because there's LOTS of room for improvement. It's not a perfect game, nor even a game that everyone can like. I think it really tarnishes the reviewer's reputation to give a game that is not perfect an unbeatable score, but then most reviewers have gradually gone downhill in the last decade, so I mostly trust player reviews and gameplay vids nowadays.

San Andreas was a better game imo. GTA wasn't all about the missions before, it was about sandbox gameplay, extra stuff too.

In GTA4 this aspect is almost entirely gone. It's only the mission, there's NOTHING to do in the city, everything is trigerred by the friendship gameplay (worse gameplay ever designed that appeared in GTASA).

I didn't like GTA4 as much as GTASA simply because there was ALOT less things to do and discover + no incentive for exploration since there's nothing much to do in the city. Even the R3 missions have been redesigned in some less fun version.

GTA4 compared to so many games is great, but compared to GTASA it really doesn't live up at all.

san andreas sucked you had to eat every 5 minutes or you started losing weight/health and you had to go to the gym to be fast/strong. the story was terrible.

and even though some people don't like the freindship missions they are optional. you're not forced to do it like eating all the time in SA.

if you really think there is nothing to discover have you found all the pigeons?

gta added multiplayer, the internet, a good story, better wanted system, better graphics, better car driving and it took away all the pointless/annoying things.

the only good thing they took out is the tank

san andreas was the worst GTA. IV is the best GTA

san andreas sucked you had to eat every 5 minutes or you started losing weight/health and you had to go to the gym to be fast/strong. the story was terrible.

You had to eat about once every 3 days and it took like 1 minute. Also, if you were saving game regularly, like after each mission, you never had to eat. You didn't need to go to the gym to be fast, if you needed better sprinting ability, cycling around the early stages and always sprinting when on foot is quite an inobtrusive way to achieve this. Once you achieve fitness it deteriorates VERY slowly, so you only need to do it once. Now the swimming thing was annoying, granted. As for being strong... You have guns man, the only reason for being strong is to make yourself look stacked (I did it for that reason lol), but it's totally optional. How can you critisise optional points of SA, then tell someone not to critisise the optional points of 4? The story was alright, some little twists and turns etc, beats most game plots and quite a few movie plots.

I haven't played 4 yet so I can't compare stories.

it wasn't really optional if you didn't eat and exercise your character got messed up. if you ignore your friends in GTA IV nothing bad happens.

After playing SR2 co-op I must say it's the most fun co-op I've ever had. I've watched some Crackdown vids on youtube of co-op play and I'm going to play that later with an american. Should be cool. When I played SR2 I felt all the things they should've done in GTA4 was done in that game. Just go get it.2009-06-06 14:54:00

@BasketSnake - Crackdown was the single greatest co-op experience have ever had when i played it with a mate who i met on CoD2. We played it for like 8 hours a day for 2 weeks over summer last year lol.2009-06-06 15:06:00

What....what is this blasphemy? How could you ever say that?

The story was awesome. It was a story of revenge, and it was awesome. In San Andreas you have to eat like, every 3 hours. Not five minutes. Better car driving? Are you serious? They just added more sluggish and frustrating driving, making it completely impossible to have those awesome high speed chases with the cops that you could have in san andreas. The wanted system isn't really changed from the previous games, though. And you could complain about the gym part, but you don't have to go to the gym to get strong. Messing around in SA will get you strong, too. I thought the RPG elements they added were awesome. It was a really good game.

I didn't like how GTA IV looked in the reviews, so I didn't buy it. Now I've been playing it at my friend's house and I'm glad I didn't. SR2 is far better IMO.

the wanted system is changed you have to get out of the area their searching instead of just spraying your car. the car driving is way better all my best chases are in IV. i like rpg's. oblivion and fallout 3 are 2 of my favourite games but the rpg elements SA were terrible

and i bought sr 2 and hated it the aiming was terrible and the missions were boring.

I am curious in what way it hurts your eyes though?

because on low u can see alot the square pixels and when u go under the subway or something the shadows ( even tho they are turned of ) look squary.
i got used to playing it, i beat all the mission untill u kill vlad, xD online is bland.y
and i wanted to get san andreas first but i cant find it anywhere >_<

Messed up? What on earth are you talking about. Notihng gets messed up. If you play for hours on end, without saving, and don't eat you lose a bit of health gradually. If you don't do weights you looks skinny - big deal. If you don't do any running then you suck at running - this last one can be fixed naturally during the game as I said rather than the gym.

I think that the new cop thing is so stupid. So the cops will stop chasing you as long as you get out of their line of sight? Those are some lazy cops.

Also, sucking at driving brings me to another point: The cars explode too easily. I miss the arcady GTA where I could kill tons of cops in like two shots.

i always saved and it still happens. and if you don't do weight you can't hit as hard. and i dont want to spend ages running around just so when i run out of an exploding car in a chase my guy can run normally. i want him to be able to run between cars without doing loads of practise runs first

Don, you read us like we are saying there's no improvements in GTA4.

THERE ARE. The cars are infinitely better and so are the graphics. My grip with GTA4 is that there simply is less gameplay. I don't care about you liking X or Y extra stuff or if a certain extra stuff is better than another, I'm just saying there is less stuff to do in GTA4 and that's what deceived me.

The city is the most immersive and beautiful city to be seen in a videogame but there's nothing to discover in it. There's only the pigeons. Well, in GTA before there wasn't just the packages!!

Also, when you're not taking care of your friends in GTA4 you lose the opportunities they unlocked for you. Stuff like not losing your weapon when you're arrested and other quite useful stuff. Also, when you're a player that actually WANT to do the extra, it's all by the friendship system now. (here again, removing incentives for exploration)

GTA4 simply is more mission oriented, more linear and less sandbox. There's less stuff to do in the city. This is what deceives me in the game and especially when they market it like the second coming.

Right on the money. I wanted semi-cartoonish ultra violence.

Vice city is still the best.

i always saved and it still happens

This must be a difference between PC and PS2 then, I guess. But it's still 2 minutes of your time every few hours of gameplay.

Reading about this lack of sandbox makes me think I'll probs hold off on 4 for a while longer... Shame really.

i like gta iv more then sa, call me crazy but idk.
the cheats help out-ish, i thought i had to work for roman for money untill i could buy guns, but now i just use the cheats xD
i dont really care about achievement since this is on pc, and its on a windows live account

im at the mission final destination, i hate it, i always die from his friend, this guy on xfire told me to go back down the stairs i came from and shoot him down before he gets down but when i look for the door i die -.-

lol, GTA 4 is great, and yes i've played SA too, and i gotta say, that stats system kinda annoyed me, the game was good too, but 2 thing that i didn't like were the graph and bad responses to pretty much everything.
I mean come on, i jump off a car going 100mph and the guy only rolls 3timess when he touvhes the floor, ,many times he rolled to the opposite direction the car was going... -_-
Same with the reactions when s shooting or running over someone, they sucked bad...
Awsome game with some flaws.
In GTA 4, the reactions to everything are great, you jump of a car going at high speeds and you'll be sent flying rolling twisting and what not, specially if you crash in a bike going at top speeds (One of my favorite things to do next to dropping from a helicopter )
Driving was a lot better, and more realistic too. Making a "cool turn" is a lot easier in here, of course, if you suck at driving you might not like it as much, but after a bit its great!

The cop system was better as well, you have to scape the area where the crime was commited unseen if they see you the "search area" has you as the center until cops lose you out of sight, so as long as cops have you in sight you can't scape, and the more the stars the bigger the search area. (6 stars is almost impossible, tho one can still scape)
Incredible scenery, i'd rather give up half a city in the game than losing ambient, better graphs = more enjoyable gameplay (for me at least)
The story is better than in previous GTA games.

Tere are many other things that make this title great, and if you can't really find gameplay alone entertaining (or even if you do, but want to make it even more fun) you can always use some codes, you could say it's a "Blast" using some codes

So i really like the game, too bad many can't seem to like it, but oh well, not everyone's gonna think the same right?

Everyone obviously has strong opinions surrounding the GTA series.

Think of GTA4 as this generations GTA3. If comparing games you are, then compare 4's content to 3's. Because I gaurentee there is going to be a GTA 4 : Vice City, San Andreas, Twin cities, Boston, something. And you know theres gonna be a few of them.

I was a bit dissapointed to see the RP elements such as gun skill and body building go away. Also buying businesses and doing missions to improve them.

I loved GTA 4, and it had the best and most believable story in a GTA yet, and the best graphics. Yet it was like smashing into a brick wall as far as content as soon as i finished the story.

Patient padawans, the next gta will have businesses and possibly some RP elements. Give them time, GTA4 was to be this generations 3. They sought graphical/story improvements, and they hit the nail dead on.

Yes, but then again, Resident Evil 5 should also be Resident Evil 5billion, and MGS4 should be MGS78.2

I think GTA4 is just a pretentious name.
I mean, they said that other GTAs on PS2 were just expanding on GTA3's ideas and style. They said their new GTA would see some major changes and would redefine the new generation, therefore it is "the true sequel", GTA4.

PR bullcrap if you ask me. GTA4 certainly isn't a defining game as GTA3 was and there also less sandbox gameplay than even just GT3. Like they said, it really is just change and possiblly no evolution... lol

I sort of agree with you Ranger Zero. They took out so many things that it did become boring more quickly than any other GTA game I've played. However there is evolution, the Euphoria engine is awesome in the game, and really changes just how the whole game is played out. There is also online which was a big step up on the consoles. I also really like the car damage physics. Apart from that though, yeah there was little added, just more taken away :/

I do like GTA:IV, and find it a fun game to come back to now and again. But it doesn't have the replay value of San Andreas, that's for sure.

this is the first gta i own so i cant really relate xD but from what i played on my friends xbox, they're pretty much the same except the fact that theres less mods, and less room really.... they make the city huge but theres really no empty space except for the airport.
also i like the countryside in sa. why did they take it out? it was a nice change to see the diffrent vechicles when in gta iv u can pretty much see every vechicle anywhere. it gave u something to do, like find that tractor! u would go to red deer or red country ( havent played in years ) and look under a farm xD

theres guys that have great ideas, like on the pc. people hacks and mod so some people make races and place cones for us to race and stuff like that. it adds more replayability.

my safehouse destoryed and roman lost his depot, and we moved to his girlfriends cousins house xD
the storyline is nice, but its kinda to easy. i had trouble with final destination untill i put in the cheat for the rpg which with in 3 shots killed him and his friend.
also it seems a step down in alot of areas like you said because they taken away some of the things that made gta, gta like having to go on alot of dates not just 4 then u go in here house for a "cup of coffee"

I sort of agree with you Ranger Zero. They took out so many things that it did become boring more quickly than any other GTA game I've played. However there is evolution, the Euphoria engine is awesome in the game, and really changes just how the whole game is played out. There is also online which was a big step up on the consoles. I also really like the car damage physics. Apart from that though, yeah there was little added, just more taken away :/

I do like GTA:IV, and find it a fun game to come back to now and again. But it doesn't have the replay value of San Andreas, that's for sure.

In fact do you want to know where the real problem is? It's the multi. Since it's extremely "ala mode" now and that you get bashed in the ratings if you don't have one, they felt compelled to make one. And it's a huge one at that. This takes devellopement time and man hours. Now you're going to tell me it's perfectly normal that it takes time and money but there's a catch:

A multiplayer mode shouldn't be made at the expense of the single player mode quality and especially in a game where the single player mode is the main focus. And that's exactly what happened with GTA4. The single player mode suffered because they made a multiplayer mode. It's really enraging to me.

you said it yourself, GTA4 is now what GTA3 was back then.
there was like nothing to do in 3, and nothing to do in IV (according to you guys, I got plenty of things to do, plenty).
do you know how long it took them to make euphoria?
and the new car damage and such? you'll see, the next GTA WILL be one of the better games available.
why? GTAIV was the start of a new engine, and better graphics, it's not like they directly put in alot of things.

Just wait for the next GTA, I swear it will be a good one for you guys...
(I just want you guys to know that R* basically made GTAIV to test their new engines )

2 precisions:

-There's LESS to do in GTA4 than GTA3. There's no firetruck game and rampages in GTA4. Unless the pool game and bowling game counts as replacement.

-Rockstar didn't make Euphoria, it's middleware. They only pay a liscence and use/implement the product.

well, I'm actually glad they took out the annoying firefighter/ambulance/taxi missions, they were boring.
in IV, you can do taxi missions for a short amount of time...that's stupid aswell, but atleast you don't have to worry about time in IV

and yea well, IV wouldn't really be IV without euphoria...so it's a really big step in GTA games...
