I will buy GTA 5 at least for the story, but I'm not expecting the fun gameplay of San Andreas or Vice City to return. Hopefully the Houser brothers have seen their big mistakes with GTA IV, but it seems the serious styling has prevailed.

I'm not really surew they can be called "mistakes" though. Yeah, a lot of people didn't like the more serious tone, but many more did. GTA IV is one of the highest rated, highest selling video games ever made. Why would they deviate?

This coming out on the Wii or something? Those graphics are awful, and so is the lighting. The people look like they're made out of plastic. Red Dead on a visual level looks so much better. It's likely to be the same old boring Rockstar formula with cliche writing and pointless chores. No thanks.

I'm in agreement with Mike2640 Just because a lot of people didn't like the direction they took with IV doesn't make them mistakes. Someone said that Ballad of Gay Tony was garbage. No way can I agree with that it was great. The only thing i can say is an actual mistake was the activities with friends but even that was only optional.

Whatever. Hope you're up for another episode of 'one guy's boring life'.

Sounds more interesting than posting negative comments on the internet.

Good point.

GTA IV wasn't bad overall, it's just that I found the gameplay to be lackluster compared to previous titles. I loved the story, Niko Bellic is the best written video game character ever made IMO. He was good in part because of the serious tone of GTA IV. But the problem with the serious tone for the story was that it affected the gameplay formula, making it less fun. If they can have a GTA IV serious story blended with the silly gameplay of previous titles, the game will rock.

I think I'm in the minority of those who prefer it when GTA has a more serious tone. Would have liked to see an entirely new city, but the trailer hasn't put me off. I just hope it has an engaging story, and doesn't go too far back towards the light hearted tone of GTA:SA.

[Kaiser Shepard]

**** Niko, get it together.

[csfteeeer]

Wanna know what's funny?
The GTA IV mod looks better.

Seriously though, Glad we're back at San Andreas.

Way better place than Liberty City.

Yes that joke never gets old.  And thats the entire game and is not in any way optional.

I'm with chris on this one: It looks great, but it gives me no motive to pre-order it at all. The narration didn't help entice anyone. It doesn't have to have a cliche hero-with-a-destiny or badass-with-a-gun direction, but the narration makes it feel like I'm watching the intro to a ho-hum movie about a midlife-crisis male looking for hope in the city.

:-/ Whatever.

[VanguardOfDestruction]

This gives me the happies!!!

I'd love for it to go back to the San Andreas style. The customization in that was SIIIIIICK.

   This isn't me being a fanboy of GTA, I genuinely feel he is one of the deepest characters in any video game I've played.

  His life in Liberty City is defined by the trauma and mistakes he endured during his time as a child soldier during the Yugoslav Wars. I found him to be a very relatable character because he struggles still with the emotional trauma he had to endure years ago, trying to put his past behind him and start fresh. Of course that never works, and he becomes cold and cynical as a result. Having lost both his childhood and happiness during the War, he tries to protect the few things he considers he has left (like his Cousin or his reputation). Darko Brevic and Florian both serve as a way to show Niko's deep seated emotional problems without directly stating Niko's motivations. Niko Bellic is deep, relatable, well written, and all of this is shown through subtle interactions and dialogue during the game without overtly stating the nuances of his character.

I could go on  for 10 more paragraphs, but I think I made at least a decent case.

Your wasting your time.
Slimgrin can only see the optional activities you go on with your friends and they hate it so much that thats all the game is to them now.

If Slimgrin does respond it will be the same tired jokes they've been spewing every time GTA is ever brought up in these forums.

[slimgrin]

I poured over 30 hrs into GTA4, the majority being the main missions. First off, the combat controls are abysmal. Secondly, if there is depth to Belic, it never manifested in my time with the game, as he willingly did everything from assassination to car theft to obligatory chauffeur service and dating. A complete dupe. And seeing that it's not an RPG, I had little choice in the matter. From a writing standpoint, there's so many cliche macho mafia guys lifted straight from the cinema, I thought I was watching a perpetual rerun of Good Fellas.

And all the driving, my god...steal this car, take this person there, now run from the cops. Some of the worst side missions I've encountered in a game. RPG's get heavily criticized for padding their game with such tripe, and Rockstar gets lauded for it.

I'll quit now.

Must of been the most important 30 hours of your life because I haven't seen anyone so hell bent on complaining about it half as much as you do.
Also comparing this to an RPG is unfair... Did you start the game expecting something other than Grand Theft Auto?  Of course cars are going to be used a lot.

I've been playing GTA since GTA 1 and 2 and I like all of them. They're not RPGs and they have lots of driving, thieving and killing. Don't play it if you don't like these works.
