HOW TO USE SPOILER TAGS!!!!
This tag "hides" text by making the font and background the same color. When you select the text with the mouse the text is revealed. Spoiler tags are good for storyline discussions to conceal important plot points or "spoilers" from accidental discovery.

Ok, it is just me... but somehow the more I play GTA IV, the more I miss playing GTA: SA. I will still keep going for a 100% on IV, but I think I will soon head back to re-play SA as soon as I reach a 100%.

Apart from how absolutely hilarious multiplayer is, i thought GTA IV was a big step down from the other games, the fact that IGN have given it 10 is absolutely pathetic, nothing about the game justifies that score.

Yeah I keep hearing that off people who've play it...apart from one mate who is constantly blowing loads over it no matter what anyone says.

I guess thats why I was wary of paying the full price for it; same with COD4 which is still expensive for some reason

Man, I hated San Andreas. I could care less about "rep" and petty gang turf wars, I hated having to eat and exercise all the time, and it was annoying always having to worry about your appearance. I felt they made things overly complicated, when all I wanted to do was steal cars and shoot people. Plus, I hate the whole premise. The gangsta lifestyle holds absolutely no appeal to me, while the Mobster motif was like stepping into Scarface or the Godfather.

GTA4 goes back to what made GTA3 and GTA3:VC so great: a simple, straight forward interface that focusing on climbing your way up the organized crime ladder, yet it makes the side games and missions so much more beneficial to character development. You need to cultivate the personal relationships in order to gain the bonuses (weapons, health, wanted level drops, etc) that make future game play easier.

GT3:SA was a huge disappointment to me. I got bored with it quickly, since it seems like I was spending more time doing mundane shit. If I wanted to go to the gym, watch what I eat, dress the part, and work on my rep, I'd play the fucking Sims.

I kept starting GTA3 over and over again just so I could play those first few missions with the mobster missions, I got kind of bored with the triad or yakuza missions very quickly though.
