  It doesn't look as though Grand Theft Auto IV is good... it looks as though it's freaking amazing!
  
  
  
  And I forgot how awesome of the multiplayer will be until I saw the video review. Looks like Grand Theft Auto IV will be staying in my Xbox 360 for the rest of the year.

  "For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster."

    Funny how you forgot to copy and paste the next few sentences saying it's really not that noticable, and how you should just get it for the system you want to play it on with your friends. There are many more people on XBL than PSN btw. That, plus many people on PSN don't even have mics. How fun.

      That would've been a valid point...if there were only like a handful of people using the PSN. Unfortunately for you, seeing as there's hundreds + on different games like Warhawk, UT3, R6V2, Lost Planet, Orange Box, etc...the point (however vain it was) never had a leg to stand on.

        What's that? You're pissed off about something I said because it was negative towards the PS3?
        
        LOL ok to be fair. THE 360 BREAKS LOL HAHAHA
        
        But seriously, how do you know I've never played on PSN? Stab in the dark? Sounds *bleep*ing ridiculous to me. Even other people that have PS3 (and aren't incredibly biased towards it) admit that barely anybody talks on PSN. Either way, we all know XBL > PSN so until you want to get over that please keep your fanboyish defensive attitude away.

        Fanboyish? Hold on a sec, who's the dude here guessing about the other console's network? Just admit it, you don't know shit, and all you're spouting IS shit... and you got nothing to show for it? I'm sorry, you have NO credibility and NO ground to stand on.
        
        My advice to you is, stop talking about things you don't know (like the PS3) and bite the bullet when you get the urge to throw crap at the PS3 because someone insulted your precious 360.
        
        The problem is that you call me a fanboy when you're the first to attack at ANYONE that attempts to discredit your 360 which tells me that you're full of shit. SO before even posting, try to get your point straight, KNOW what you're talking about, and most importantly don't argue things against someone who knows MUCH more about it than you do.
        
        P.S.: Try a better defense other than "UR A FANBOY LOLZ", you already look ridiculous enough as it is.

        Try a better defense than thinking you are right. Because you aren't. When somebody brings up a stupid point and then says ZING they are doing nothing but trying to start trouble. All I did was point out how stupid he was to do that, so I replied with something equally as annoying. There's nothing precious about my 360 other than all the great games I have for it and the inevitable RROD. Just like there is nothing special about the PS3 besides the fact that it plays blu-rays and has better graphics and all while collecting dust. Really either side is rediculous to argue over. I just pointed out the obvious, XBL > PSN. I don't see what is so hard to understand about that.

        So in other words, you got pissed over a stupid comment, that's typical. It's also understandable to be incredibly biased...but there's a line between being biased and being completely ignorant. What you did was to completely discredit a network UNKNOWN to you. "XBL > PSN", give that shit a rest, it's been talked over to death and it's getting pretty tired...nobody cares anymore.

        Not really finalblade. You guys are obvious Sonybots, when all we did was buy the console we thought was best for us and are lolling over people who defend the other console like they work for the company. We are doing nothing wrong really. It's almost as if you guys are saying we can't have opinions but you can. Get a damn life.
        
        Seeker, where did I come across as being pissed? I was just being a dick about the DLC seeing as how a PS3 guy was bragging about the SLIGHTLY better graphics. Do you really care? Go play your PS3 and I'll play my 360 and we can both *bleep*.
        
        Oh and another thing, from what I hear from people who own both consoles (aka, aren't biased) they say XBL is far more fun. A few people are Incidnia and Sereph off the top of my head. I know it's not directly from me, but really, any argument ANYBODY has against another console they usually don't know from first hand experience, kind of like the slightly better graphics argument. It's all irrelevant to me really because I will own both eventually.

        Sonybots, fanboys...those words get thrown around a lot. Tell me, you're not used to backlash when you're just "being a dick" aren't you? You guys are just so used to calling others fanboys that it becomes a natural defense doesn't it? Especially when you guys fail to realize that you're doing the same shit those proclaimed "fanboys" seem to be doing, it's almost hilarious.

        Let's analyze this:
        
        Was he being an ass? Yes.
        
        Did he ever discredit the 360 in any way? No
        
        Why did you start talking about the PSN all of a sudden? You know what, don't answer...I'll do that for you. You felt offended, hey it happens to all of us...how about just discredit the guy rather than a product *which again* you do not own? It saves a lot of trouble...and you make it even worse for yourself when you say you're not even bothered...when clearly you are.

        He basically quoted lines that said PS3 graphics > 360 graphics, but failed to include the part about an only slight difference. Because the FOLLOWING lines after what he quoted said it wasn't that big of a difference then states how you should just get it on whichever console you want to play with your friends(which should be what everybody does anyways rather than argue over which one is better), and naturally I would assume there were more people on XBL, which I already explained and have heard from a few different sources of PS3 owners.
        
        Hmm, how many times are you going to say I don't know anything about PSN? I JUST *bleep*ING SAID Sereph and Incidnia are two people I can think of off the top of my head who ACTUALLY OWN BOTH and say xbl is better. WHEN are you going to start reading my comments? I've already stated about two thousand times the reasoning behind my bullshit on GG, it's just dripping with sony bias. If you fail to realize that than you need to go kill yourself.
        
        Why would I care about which console does better or which one is better when I will eventually buy the PS3 anyways for the blu-ray and two games I want? It's clear all I'm doing is defending the console I own at this present time. I never START anything on here, and I defend with REAL points rather than stupid shit like graphics.

    If you read the article IGN gave the game a 10 not because it is perfect since it isn't, they gave it that rating because it goes above and beyond anything any developer is doing today, it is a revolution it is special and thats why GTA IV got the first 10/10 since 1999.

  Yeah I remember a lot of people thought Saint's Row was going to be a tough contender to compete against. I agreed too I thought that game was the greatest of the GTA-clones. Same with True Crime before San Andreas came out. GTA always dominates in the end by far. Nobody does this type of game like Rockstar Games.

    As far as the text review is concerned, most of the spoilers are related to gameplay elements. There were a few things mentioned I would have preferred to have discovered myself (the two comedians that were named, for example). A couple of plot details are revealed, and the explanation of how it can be changed, but nothing too major. Definitely a lot of new information in there nonetheless.
