No mentions of GTAIV?
Wasnt IV a step back from previous releases? It's just shinier but with less content.
It DOES look good to watch the bottom of your car when it flips over, it IS fun counting the spokes of oldtimer wheels before they burst up in explosions, but you can only do that so many times before it gets boring.
San Andreas - content wise - so far was the peak of the series.
And then there is the horrible DRM crap you have to deal with.
And my personal crusade: it is NOT PART FOUR four fourks sake.
I dont care which parts used the same engine and which didnt. But the only offical expansion GTA ever had was GTA: London (basically a mod of GTA1). Every other part was an OWN part and should be counted accordingly.
The only reason they didnt put the real number behind the letters was... because it would look cheap. It would look like they are trying to milk us. Which they do.
Part 4 my ass.
edit: and what's the assassins creed hype about?
I never played it, so I have to give them the benefit of doubt, but I watched the "making of" and some developer commentary, too. I watched people playing it... and I have to say it looks horribad, and the AI really really seems dissapointing to me. the fighting, the running.... truly horrible. The devs sound like a bunch of hip and trendy retards that oozed out of a mac advertisement, too. Truly different from listening to the TF2 dev commentary, for instance. You really can hear some proper thoughts there.
What am I missing?
