GTA IV

I've recently got my hands on the newest addition to the Grand Theft Auto series and I have a few things I need to say about it. Firstly, Rockstar dropped the ball BIG time when they signed up with Microsoft LIVE. GTA IV is a great game. possibly one of the best games of the year but Rockstar and Microsoft has made registering the game, playing the game, saving the game and loading the game an absolute nightmare. The game was rushed out WAY in advance and as a result its incredibly buggy. Most PC user cant even load or play it due to some MASSIVE graphical issues which I encountered till I figured out a way around it. Theres a so called patch coming out soon that should fix most of the issues (less the obviously Rockstar/ Microsoft bedtime stories). Should a game be released in time for the holidays even though it's technically not done yet? of course not! what where you thinking RockStar? How many PC users have already given up on it and demanded a refund? was it worth it?

OK, now that my rant is over with. GTA IV is easily one of the best games of the year. The graphics are phenomenal on my system and the storyline following Nico Bellic is very well written. It's a VERY mature game. LOTS of sex, Drug references, violence (obviously). I LOVE this game! I'd suggest everyone who hasn't already go out and get it but its taking a very big gamble if your a PC user. Due to copyright laws if you purchase a game, try it out and find it doesn't work You can not return it....pending special circumstances of course. LIKE A SEVER FUCK UP LIKE THIS! The game distributor: STEAM has already refunded MANY of its DTD (Direct to Drive) sales.
