Grand Theft Auto 4
Grand Theft Auto 4 for Playstation 3 By Valjur: First Impressions: I remember the excitement I felt when this game first came out, it was the very first game I ever got for the PS3, and it was the newest GTA game to come out since San Andreas. Back then, when I first got my copy of GTA4, it was wonderful and exciting, the game play was top notch and I was drawn in by the glorious graphical capability of my brand new PS3. Story: I have to say that the story is great, even a little touching at times, serious and dark at others, and some times it a Michael Bay wet dream. Mr. Bellic pretty much just spends the whole game looking for work and revenge. I could also go on about his annoying comic relief cousin, but by now most people already know what an annoying dummy he already is. Gameplay: Since my first play through of GTA4 in 2008, I’ve had the chance to play other sandbox games like Mercenaries 2 and Infamous, and now coming back to GTA4 feels sort of masochistic. It has this all too real feeling in a way, and that’s not necessarily the most exciting feeling for a game to offer. Falling down happens too easily and it takes way too long to get back up, and it’s impossible to climb over or on most of the things you encounter. I personally can climb a fucking chain link fence without too much problem and I’m sure if I did it a few times it wouldn’t cause me any problems at all, so why the fuck can’t Nico Bellic climb a chain link fence unless it’s a only under a certain height? Also, I know for a fact that I could get back to my feet quicker than he can, and if I were to bump up against a car it wouldn’t knock me over and cause me damage. I’m starting to get the impression that I could do a better job at everything in GTA4 than Mr. Bellic with the exception of flying a helicopter. But I am just assuming that it’s hard to do, I’ve never tried it though. I can also aim better than Mr. Bellic and move faster, even while shooting a rifle. Mr. Bellic is a damn war vet and I only have meager training and I possess no combat experience in the least. Maybe I should go all the way and try this GTA thing for myself? Because this game is making me believe that I could do quite well shooting up a city and getting away with it....
