THe game spoils it for you.

So much hate lol this is NeoGAF.
My first impressions were 'WOW' I could not believe how alive the world felt. It was simply astonishing. I've spend about a good hour and a half playing now, and I haven't done one mission, I've basically gone on a walking tour of the city as it's open from the first cutscene.
Simply amazing.

Yeah, the backlash on this game months from now will be big. Some time in, and it is not the 10 I was sold on. The driving and the combat are not great, but as others have stated you have to REALLY give props to R* for the amount of content and detail in the game.
We will see by the end, how this game pans out.

Maybe so...
I live in NYC and the whole thug/ghetto culture thing is just not doing it for me either.

I think they cleaned Liberty city up quite a bit from the original game (I'm calling GTA3 the original). It was looking like Huntington or Detroit or something.
I do think the cars in this game handle like total shit, though. Shooting is good. Fighting has taken a step back. But, I like how much more grown up this game has become from the last generation.

Haha..... maybe
but I certainly am not the uneducated thugs that were standing in line with me at best buy this morning. It actually did turn me off from the game a little.
Maybe it is a great game and I am just too old for this kind of thing now...haha
Well Top Spin 3 comes out next month ?

Played a little bit so far (360)
This game is not a 10, no way on god's green earth.
I give them props for the amount of stuff going on, but the driving is whack, as is movement in general and combat.
I also cant get into a multi player game, keeps saying disconnected and bringing me back.

OMG dude, thats shitty. Good luck getting it sorted out.
:lol Seriously. The gun combat is just fine now, and with a decent cover system (even better than MGO's...which is crazy since thats a stealth game).X26 said:
Everything else is great, but the fighting system still feels like the same button mashy system except with 3 seperate attacks and block.
The framerate hasnt dropped for me yet, 30fps all the time, havent had any real crazy explosions so I cant say. The game is NOT blurry at all, so I dont know where people get off saying that.
Its about as dark as how Splinter Cell Double Agent was on the 360. In light areas its really light, in dark areas...well you know.
Stood outside for a whole day cycle...havent seen anything that looks like color fading at noon.
Stick sensitivity is just fine for me (PS3 version) Niko moves when I want him to move. If this happens on 360, it might just be your analog stick. Sometimes 360 sticks dont center all the way after long term use. That makes characters move slightly even if you arent touching it.
Movement works fine too. Driving takes a bit of getting used to, but as for the other complaints, I have no idea where you guys are getting them.
EDIT: How has fighting taken a step back? Its better than any GTA game before. Its not perfect, but definatly not a step back.

They did wonderful work on Bohan, exactly like south bronx (Bronx local here)
My 1/50th of a dollar:
Game looks terrible but plays well. The city is huge and very alive, but so far (about 3 hours in) the story and writing aren't impressing me. Rockstar apparently thinks swear words=funny no matter what. The story so far is exactly the same as every other GTA game. Start out as lowly thug, take over gang, blah blah blah. Oscar worthy my foot. I've really liked the driving. Every car feels different and has weight. I haven't had any framerate issues yet (360 version).
Question: Can you dial numbers from your phone other than ones in your phonebook? And how does one go about doing that?

I played for eight hours straight last night. It's been years and years since I put a full eight hours into a videogame in a single day. And now I've slept the sleep of the just and am going to dive back into it.
I've done a handful of missions, a handful of dates, but mostly it's just been wandering around to see what there is to see.
I accidentally crossed the line toward Algonquin while attempting to swim away from the cops. Suddenly the air was filled with helicopters. Sweet, gun-shooting helicopters.

This game is more sluggish than Harry Knowles trying to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe it's the fact that I was playing Crackdown a ridiculous amount only a couple of weeks ago, but the contrast is so great. Yes, I know this game is supposed to be realistic, but everything feels so slow. The controls are frustrating at times and the graphics are once again comparatively underwhelming.
The MP was pretty fun when I played with a friend in a game with a large amount of people. But most of time, we struggled to figure out what exactly to do. How do you create a regular game? With custom game? Anyway, I think that's really the big thing here. Otherwise, it feels like the same game as ever. Just bumped up into what would be expected from the series on a next-gen console. I do have to admit that the world is impressive. Only minutes into playing the game, I saw some random pedestrian get run over and the people standing around react accordingly, which was pretty cool.
I'm sure I'll get my money's worth out of this game, but the backlash has already started. 10s across the board do that.

Everyone has their own opinion (even though this is gaf....:lol ) , but I have to disagree and say this game is a 10 for me. I like the driving...I don't know what some of you are doing wrong, but every car handles differently. The mustang/muscle cars spin out a LOT more than the more expensive luxury cars for sure. Ah well back to playing!

this needs to be seen, also the driving is just fine... you just can't drive arcadey any more, its more simulation in style.

I'm a bit farther than you I'd imagin (6hrs) and can only say: wut? lowly thug? take over gang? terrible graphics? I think your problem is that you somehow bought saint's row insead of gta4. As for the swearing, it's fitting considering the characters.
Numbers i'm not sure, outside 911. I tried to input other numbers I saw on a few ads and they didn't work :/
