Grand Theft Auto IV

Talk about a game that finally has excited me and has lived up to it's hype. I am only a few missions in, and I freakin love it. It looks beautiful, plays great, and is highly entertaining. Any other GTA IV fans in here?

I never got around to picking up a PS3. Sony pissed me off too much when they chucked the Emotion chip for the hardware backwards compatibility. I'd love to play it though, I had a blast with all the others (including the original 2D versions), but I'll have to wait for a PC release.

My friend just got a PS3 so hopefully he buys GTA. Judging from the little I've seen, I cannot wait to get involved.

It is for the xbox360 as well if ya'll didn't know, and that is what I have it for. I can't wait to play it some more later. The only thing I have heard is that some people said there are some framerate issues on the 260 version, like an occasional glitch here and there, but who cares with a game as fun as this. I have only come across one glitch, and that was when I pulled somebody out of the car and the door never opened and they just came out, but like I said, who cares with a game this fun.

I have to beat Assasin's Creed before I'm allowing myself to open it, but it is within my possession. I've been lagging on every other game thanks to Rockband. I should be assasinating the last guy tonight and then the GTA onslaught will begin.

Assassin's Creed is what I traded in towards GTA 4 once I finished everything in the game. The next games in line are Soul Calibur IV and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Assassin's Creed was a fun game, but it didn't hit me enough as a keeper. The only games I have kept are Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero 2, and GTA IV is definately never leaving my collection, for it is the game I have been waiting for ever since I played the crap out of San Andreas.

I'm planning to get it, but I'm not sure when, because I don't know if I want to get it for PS3 or PC. Does anyone know if the PS3 version has mouse/keyboard support?

Crackdown > GTA.

I never understood the appeal of any of the GTA games. I've played 1 through 3, and they just bored me before an hour was up.

If someone finds my boyfriend out there, somewhere, in GTA land....tell him I said hey. And that he really needs to stop and eat now and then.

I played crackdown, and it just doesn't compare, and neither does Saints Row. The story elements are better and the gameplay is just much more fun and entertaining. Now all I need to do is wait for some of my fellow gamers to get the game so I can renew my xboxlive and get going online.

As soon as I get up the cash I'll be getting it. I'm looking forward to playing it on xbl with people. My gamertag is Metal DArtagnan. Just hit me up with a FR.
