Talk:GTA IV Gripes/Gameplay

I have read almost all the gripes and rebuttal here about GTAIV and all I can say is that I agree with most gripes and some rebuttals. GTAIV is a realistic game...okay, so the exclusion of major GTA elements are acceptable? No ammunation, lesser cheats, no property owning, no outrageous crime spree and funny stunts?

GTAIV is a game right? A G-A-M-E. So to all those who said that gtaIV is not an RPG, or striving for realism...well, answer this, what does a game supposed to be? It's supposed to be FUN! iTs supposed to be funny, silly, and unrealistic. The only "realistic" thing I want to see is the graphics and audio.

Those "rebuttal" people always defend the game with passe lines like "minigames are stupid, or skills are not fun, cheats are wrong...so on whatever", WELL, you cheat simply to have fun (most GTA-S.A. cheats are based on the premise that the player will use it for fun - flying cars, etc.)

What most people want in a game especially in GTA is the ability to do stupid things without the reality problems of getting reprimanded for it (police) and being rich and powerful even if it's only in a game.

GTA S.A. and VIce city certainly revolutionized the GTA franchise, GTA IV...ehemm, well just another new game for the new gen consoles. Nothing special...just another game set in NEw York oohhh wait...in Liberty City....

A good game, but Take-Two ~ Rock* can do and really did muche better than "this".
