There have been rumours about the delay in its launching was because of the need of shit up the entire game in order to not stand clearly the difference between PS3 and xbox360 versions (m$ money in the middle).

We will have this game in PC sooner than 2460? I guess not, both $ony and m$ wanna punish us hardly in the ass for not buying its stupid teen hardware and they need to pay off the money they have spent in exclusivity with Rock$tar.

Who cares, the game isn't really that good (I own it by proxy - the reason I brought a 360 is to play Ninja Gaiden 2, not GTA4. Ninja Gaiden Black has old-school sensibilities in its' difficulty and game design which reminds me of the NES games so I like them muchly. Hurf.); after releasing seven and a half GTA games I've found that the whole sandbox game appeal dried up around Vice City and was getting more closer to excrutiating than exciting in SA and GTA4. While all the retards who run the major game review sites might be ranting about how awesome it is, it's not really a major reinvention of the series by any means.

Of course, given that the average console jockey of today has all the skills and brains of a dead giraffe, chances are that GTA4 will sell a million copies while I'll be the sole owner of Ninja Gaiden 2. Bliss.

I seem to remember a time when 'playing a game' involved having to enter the konami code just to survive long enough to pause the game. What the fuck is it with console games being... dumbed down for console?

It's kind of like san andreas but missing everything that made san andreas acceptable as a game and vice city good as one.

Player and vehicle customisation is nearly nonexistant, the missions are pretty much nothing but fetch quests, the radio stations are awful, the graphics look nothing like they do in the screenshots (what the fuck is up with the hideous dithered shadows? They look like they belong in diablo 1 or some shit), and the controls are simply abysmal - your character turns and moves with all the grace of an eighteen wheeler mated with a hippopotamous with gout, and the gun controls are STILL using PS2-era technology.

While I'm not a major fan of either series, Rockstar really should of taken some of the stuff out of Saint's Row for GTA4; particularly the better free aim and character customisation options. Hell, all the controls in general should of been copied - Saint's Row is practically Ninja Gaiden Black when it comes to controls compared to GTA4.

I'm still on the fence about the actual car handling since I can't make my mind up - however, the physics on the cars is pretty shitty and its' not uncommon for me to flip over sideways at least five times for hitting a curb at low speeds.

Personally I find the way that there's no multiple cities setup to be one of the biggest detractors, as well. SA had three very distinct cities, each with its' own large hinterland areas - I would prefer this over having a single huge city with a forgettable design.

I remember when San Andreas was out there was contriversey on a hidden sex scene, and G4 was like "duh, 15 year olds might to see this to masturbate if their parents let them play these games." At first I thought "15 year olds aren't that stupid." Then the next day I went to school and everyone at school was like "duh, did you hear on G4 about the sex scene in San Andreas? I, duh, want to get that game to masturdbate becoz it's like internet porn! hu hu hu!" I couldn't beleive it, all my class mates were as dumbass as G4 said they were.

I never watch G4 anymore, the stupidity of G4 just built up inside of me and I just can't stand watching geeks talk about graphics and EA all day long, anymore.
