Grand Theft Auto IV Release (Okay, now it's out)

[thestalkmore]

Had the game since Saturday, online is awesome but I can't really comment on the gametypes =/. Everyone just plays Free Roam.

Have fun with your banned XBL account.

They can't ban you for playing the game early, plenty of shops break street dates and some stores will let employees take games early.

Man oh man, i don't understand how people would dislike this game when being a gamer and in a game forum. It stands out from all other games and styles, in my opinion. It made a whole new genre and broke gaming limits man. I'm not too hardcore in single player/adventure games, but the GTA series always had me at hello. And to ban it in some major countries (australia one of them?) just makes it more desirable. I love being the bad guy, hah! bored of saving the world, bored of rescuing princesses and bored of being nice.

Just a thought, now Rockstar made several culture-based GTAs

Italian/Mafia character/storyline
Arfican American storyline
London storyline
Colombian storyline
and now Russian storyline

hmmm, what about Arab? lol, i predicted an Arab character for this one, woulda been cool and fitted this time well, dont you think? or maybe Rockstar is not THAT controversial. Nonetheless, it always delivers joy and entertainment to the target market.

[Kiro]

Rockstar IS that controversial. They just don't want to get raped by the government and some extremists.

think of the sales, im no market analyst, but i think it would sell the most out of all the GTAs because of the time we're in. If it was made with care, that is..

[Kiro]

Most likely, lol. But I don't think they'd make the bad guy. If I were a videogame character I'd fucking love to have an arabic dude as my "partner in crime" or be the epic weapons dealer who saves your ass at the end of the game. ARAB DUDES HAVE BALLS.

You can't exactly make that kind of stuff with care, lots of people are very touchy on that subject. Plus there are plenty of other things to be controversial about, like there was this rumour the game was going to be 50's based.

[Anyway]

An arab GTA4 might be fun in free roam, going into places with alot of people and blowing yourself up. Could get old though.

[Iremire]

I just won this off the radio.

It's like Kiro says...if it was up to Rockstar you probably would've seen one now heh.

[Richybear]

What'd they call it then: Grand Theft Camel?

Picking this up tomorrow. The IT guy at work is picking his up at midnight. He got the bonus version with the duffel bag and stuff, I'm hoping it's not the size of a kleenex box, although then I could laugh at him...

[Correction]

There are Arab gangsters? I thought they just did this or this all day. And there's already a game for them.

You can't get banned for playing the game online early since, afaik, its impossible to tell w/version has been pirated (DL'd) vs. a store just selling copies early (this is of course unless you know the reg number of all copies and w/reg # had been sent to w/store.. then they could tell). I believe most people who have a hard copy are friends w/store owners, work in a game store, or something around those lines so that they can walk out w/ the game and be rung(sp) up for the purchase on the 29th.

It's uncertain w/version (PS3 vs xbox) will 100% have exlusive DLC until its actually announced. I know microsoft paid "X" amount of money to have exclusive DLC content, so that makes it seem kind of obvious... but I don't think its known if it will be released for PS3 (under diff circumstances: later release, external purchase, yatta yatta) also. Also depends on what the DLC will be... if its random filler missions then prolly not that important... if it's city extensions & new filler missions then that will be awsome.

PS3 wins in graphical dept for GTA4 as pop up's and things like that are concerned. But reviews say it's minimal so should really buy it for w/e system you have more friends w/so you can enjoy online more.

[Tekki]

Launching this tonight! Ive got 230+ people reserved and about 150 of them showed interest in them being here at midnight. Probably will see up to twice that many people come by tonight.

[izembo]

yea i have to work the midnight as well, easily gonna have 100+ for the midnight, gonna be crazy.

[jmc]

No midnight release for me

Guess the store I pre-ordered it in, cannot stay open after 10 pm due to city violations..... guess they must have gotten in trouble, because they had a midnight release for SSBB lol

fps doug + my new haircut makes one badass alpha

Yea, that would be a fun game Firas. First you start off, your name is Mohammad. and instead of a cop meter you have a stress meter and if it fills all the way up you explode, right? That's the whole game.

[Epical]

Wow, this video review makes the game look so much more amazing... why do I have to have finals these next couple weeks. ><

[Alina]

Already people lined up at my Gamestop, but I'm not heading down there til my friend gets off of work (around 9:30-10). Just a few more hours! I'm gonna come home and play it til I fall asleep at the controller.
