So then, Is anyone enjoying Grand Theft Auto IV for any platform?
I bought the PC Version (Obviously) and ive played this game for quite some bit now.
I am very happy with the graphics and the detail in the game, its mind blowing and makes it stand out better than reality!  .
Anyways, on my journey through this wounderful game, I have encountered many errors and things I would like to be changed in the game, which I already suggested to Take2 Tech Support that run the Support for GTA IV.
First off, I had a few graphical issues with the game. When using the Camera on the mobile phone, I would get constant black flashing lines on my screen, only when I used the camera. To fix this, Take2 advised to update graphics drivers. Did this, fixed the problem.
Another issue I came across on our *Sarcasim* Wounderful Windows Vista */Sarcasim* was DEP - Data Execution Protection.
This nifty little app on Vista was causing my game to crash every 20 - 30 mins of playing. Everytime the game crashed, windows would display a Windows Help Centre box explaining about DEP. So I disabled that piece of crap and now GTA IV works great.
There are a couple of features I have came across that I do not like.
1) Key Bindings
They disabled Enter key being used for "Use Key" because its used alot for the phone and stuff. But I want to use Enter key to enter/exit vehicles.
2) Helicopter Control
Do not ask me why, but what in Rockstars right minds decided to make the mouse control the Helicopter? I was so use to using the mouse to look with in San Andreas when flying any vehicle.
In GTA IV, they made the mouse the steering for the Heli instead of look.
I have mentioned these to Rockstars and have been passed onto the Development team. They said to me on the phone that Rockstars are collecting as much info as possible about problems and issues with the game and will release a massive update for the game, sometime next year.
They are looking for loads of suggestions for the game to allow people to enjoy it as much.
I wish they added flyable fricken planes 
Another one. In San Andreas, they had Bycles and motorbikes.
In GTA IV, You do not see Bycles because they did not add any, nor do you see many Motorbikes.
Its as if they turned this game into a Car only game *Starting to feel like Need For Speed*.
The Train Not Drivable... Wheres the fun in that? The train was class in GTA San Andreas, and driving it into another train was just as fun.
There is a lot of killing in this game... Starting to have a Max Payne feeling without the Slow motion function. Most of the missions have something to do with taking someone else out because he/she did this or did that.
I did like the characters rantings in addition to the story line. Some of them made me laugh because they were humorous.

I played the console version back when it was released and it didn't really impress me. It's just another GTA game with updated graphics and physics. |

I don't know what changes, if any, they made to the PC port. The console version was just as bland as ever, though. |

No motorbikes, huh?
There are motorcross, scooters. (SCOOTABROTHAAAS!!), choppers and superbikes.
If those are no motorbikes to you, then I don't know. I only know that you cannot really know the game when you say things like that.
lol
GTA IV is one of the best games and the most important title for years.
If somebody is saying he disliked it, then either he didn't take the time to enter the world of GTA or doesn't like this kind of games in general, and thus doesn't need to talk garbage about the game at all.
GTA IV has by far more than just "updated physics and graphics". |

Froggy! You did not read carefully.

Obviously you took me wrong on thisone. What I mean is you do not see many motorbikes on the roads in the game. You see cars more than motorbikes... but then again, maybe they added so much realisim into the game, not many people own motorbikes so they cut then down a little...
Also, im not saying I dislike the game, I quite enjoy it, but theres a few things that I think in my opinion that I would like a pick at and change if possible.
Physics and graphics do apply to me highly, but I do enjoy gameplay aswell. I did mention some gameplay too as to refering GTA IV to Max Payne.
The story line is nice and solid aswell, giving off a feeling of Niko who use to have a bad life in Russia and wants to try make up for it by living in Liberty City.
Over all, I would rate GTA IV in my opinion 8/10 for now... until they next update it, I might change my mind . |

Yea seems like I didn't read carefully.
Or perhaps you've edited any to many.
My post wasn't fully aimed against your post/thread. Only half of it. |
