bummer on gta 4

been playing it last 2 days been really happy with it untill now - you contained to your startin area you cant g out of it wihtout a level 6 wanted level which to me is makin it less belivavble- like in rl part of the city would be cut off and chopper would gun you down for traveling out =.=

Thats the idea, you have to unlock that area first. I know that and havent even played it yet, it was mentioned in a review. :lol:

That would take even more away from the realism, they listened to peoples complaints about the broken bridges suddenly being repaired after certain missions and such. So they opened all the areas but to tempt you to steer clear they just add wanted level to you instead.

well you can pass them beucase its a small blockade with gaps in. But still wouldnt it be better to have free reign of the city as you would in RL. sure not let you get certian acitvites or club n that but you should be able to travel where you want

Well before they wouldnt let you go there at all, for mission purposes. The story opens up other areas so they need to give you some incentive to do them, as if you needed an incentive with a story as good as GTA IV's. I think the new idea is a much improved one from previous games.

I don't see what the big deal is, it's been like that for all the GTA games. And as always, a logical explanation is provided for as to why the beginning area starts off limited. For GTA 3, VC, and SA... the excuse was bridge construction. For IV, it's

a terrorist threat

.

Not really a big deal, just continue playing through it until you unlock the extra areas. Then you can have all the fun you want on 6-Star.. or you can see if Multi-player is bounded by the barrier.

Most people wouldn't get a sense of accomplishment either, if they were handed the entire city right from the very beginning... work for it, but end up having fun in the process.

See those small gaps between the cement blocks in the barricade? With a motorcycle of some kind there is a 0.00001% chance you'll make it!

I liked SA story too. It was simple, but strangely compelling, the fate of CJ grabbed me.

After about 11 missions i lost interest with that character but Niko has intrigued me.

I agree, Niko's personality is lovable, especially when he reacts to his dates. I'd love to see a Vice City sequel, just to play as Tommy Vercetti again.

Besides, the missions here in GTA IV are more believable as opposed to the over-the-top missions in SA.. (example: CJ invading Area 51? )

Anyone notice how Fable's trees look better than GTA4's trees?

Well Fable is centered around countryside settings and fields where as GTA is city based. However i think the GFX in GTA IV are excellent for its scale.

The graphics are fantastic. Everything is well detailed and looks excellent. Except for those damn trees... I mean I don't think it would have killed rockstar to make them look a little better

I have to agree, out of all the objects in the game, the trees are the worst. It's even more sad when you drive through the bushes with zero collision detection, since NONE of the bushes are solid in the game (for whatever odd reason). Or riding the train, and the top of a tree is sticking through the floor of the train. Gorgeous game, but damn those trees & bushes, :lol:
