GTA IV – post 87

I don’t own a 360 nor do I own a PS3 so I’m not playing this game.

Yet, I do want to.

Now I should stand out from the crowd and say that I’m not a GTA fan.  The only one I’ve ever played was Vice City and I picked it up at the local EB for nine bucks.  I figured, “why not… can complain for nine bucks and it’s one of the PS2 highest rated games.  I should try and find out why.”  I should also say that I’ve only owned a PS2 for just over a year.

I brought it home and started it up to try it out and found that I couldn’t stop playing it.  I found the game to be lots of fun.  Fun in the way that I could really play the game any way i wanted to.  I could do the missions or not and just piss around the city searching and messing around.  Such freedom was wonderful.  But as the game progressed I found that it started to get a little tedious.  Save up money to buy a business… do the missions… save up money to buy a business… etc… etc…  and if you didn’t have enough money you had to pis around the city and deliver pizza, drive taxi (which isn’t even close to being as fun as Crazy Taxi) and checking up on the business you do own to save up what you need.

I asked around with my friends that played GTA games and none of them said they had actually completed any of them because they where too damn long.  Well, I set out to finish the game after that… and they where right.  I swore I’d never play another GTA after that.  It was fun in the beginning but man… if it didn’t drag out in the end.

So now GTA IV is out and I find that I would love to get my hands on it.  Even though I’m pretty sure that the game play is the same and I would have the same feelings at the end of it all… I want to play it.  I looks like such a well crafted, thought out game.  And that’s what I love.  A game where the developer didn’t push it out the door.  Things where well thought out and designed well.  That’s my love in game form.

When will I pick it up?  Well, I’m scared to buy a 360 due to the red ring of death and the PS3 is just too expensive for me so it’ll probably be a while.  Until then I just sit, wait and admire the craftsmanship of GTA IV

also… last chance at the two auctions I have running.  The both end around 11 PM I think.
