Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: so is gta4 a bad game?

[quote name="Weyoun Voidbringer"]I do have to say that I was a little disappointed with GTA4 after I beat it (only after), and VC is still my favorite of the whole series. Ultimately I found it to be enjoyable for the moments where it did everything right, and I still would like to go back and play it again if only it actually offered me something to do after the game ended (besides gay ass racing missions, no thx) but the combat system is a giant improvement and the cops n robbers online game mode was a pretty fantastic experience. As for Just Cause well I already wrote my review of all the awesome shit that game does right, it would be a matter of preference what one person would think is better (GTA's realism and finely crafted bloo bloo vs Just Paws gift of flight and the ability to latch onto air force one and kick Obama right out the door just in time to stop him from signing away our prosperity with a pen filled with the ashes of our constitution). I do think that sandbox games are going to be the way of the future for gaming or at least will be a bigger part of all gaming in general.[/quote]
