Ever since my 60GB PS3 died and lost all my save game files, never got around to finishing IV...

Beat IV, but it took forever...what a long, boring game. I really hope they get back to their roots with V.

Something changes about halfway through that just makes it a chore.

Will you spoil it for me please? I know it's an old game but I just picked it up and am a good way through the game. (feels about half way.) But if the best part is the beginning I have no problem quitting. I don't want to waste my time going on dates and hanging out with people if it's just going to suck at the end.

Huh, Apparently I finished gtaIV and didn't remember it. If I knew there were two endings I would have reloaded the save and done it differently.

I spent most of the game feeling like it was half way, but it seemed like the end never came . I liked the story line and the main missions, it was all of the GFs, friends, and lame missions (chauffeur, etc.) that made it eternally boring. The BS never ends. I don't want to hang out with losers, take out chicks, play pool, go drinking, work out, eat, scrub toilets, walk dogs, or any other crap...it's GTA, I want to FSU! And it didn't help having a pansy, melancholy, depressed guy as your character, either. Tommy Vercetti was confident and wanted to be the man; Niko just whines and cries about committing crimes and his hard life. Give me a bad guy who is glad he's a bad guy and goes about being the best bad guy he can be by doing some serious shit.

That's about how I feel about it too. I figure I got full value for the 8 bucks I spent on it. I guess it's time to retire Niko and try out something else.

Uh, neither of those is out yet. SR3 doesn't have MP, one of the best aspects of SR2. Maybe as a DLC at some point, but not initially. There's no info on GTA5.

However, for SP, I can say SR2 > GTA4.

I finished IV as well. There's already some speculation running around based on just the logo on rockstargames.com. How the V is shaped, and the money-style font, people figure it'll be based on Washington DC. Green was also the gang color for the Grove Street gang in GTA III, so there's the CJ v2.0 theory as well. Las Vegas is on the table too.

It took me forever to beat GTA SA, and I never finished III or Vice City. I MIGHT have to finally cave in to buying a PS3 now that another GTA is in the works.

I say hold off until the trailer is out cause you never know when the game will come out and heck, the NeXtBOX might be out then.

and looks like GTA5 will be in L.A. I'm a bit disappointed in that

They've done that...expansion packs for GTA were in London.

I'd love a return to Vice City. Since IV went back to Liberty City, V should go back to VC. Los Santos would be ok.

The people on the internets are saying that the guy in the suit could be an older Tommy Vercetti from Vice City. Plus the voice actor sounds like Ray Liotta, who did the voice for Vercetti.

Looks good though.

First thing I thought. It would be about time for him to retire, but who moves from Miami to LA to retire? LOL

The only GTA I've played is IV and Liberty City Stories for the PSP. I never beat either game but I sure loved them! I've very atmosphere oriented and those games had a great atmosphere. I've been wanting to beat IV, but really it feels like a chore after playing about three missions in a row.

That said, I will be buying this one.

After waching the trailer nothing really seems to WOW gameplay wise. I'm excited for the game but better not get my hopes too high after playing gta 4.

I agree with most here. Gta 4 was too much of a chore to complete. And sadly I payed the 50-60 for it when it came out. Wish I woulda waited for the $5 bargain bin lol.

Gta 3 - awesome. Can still play today and enjoy
Vice city - ok, not enough world. If you play today it seems outdated, but fun at the time.
San andreas - gangs and territory make you wanna play this game over and over just to FSU for months after you beat the story. Has some amazing pc mods as well.
Gta 4 - def chore to finish. Gets boring. Nothing special about the main character. Good graphics but makes me miss the cartoonish more fun looking previous GTAs.


Pc gamer btw lol
