Surely the fact its like the previous GTA only more pretty and stuff is awesome?

Yeah, it is, but for a game to be 10/10 it needs to offer a new experience.
How does the multiplayer stand up to say COD4? Is it as addicitive and well balanced?

It doesn't. It's fun for an occasional mess around but you won't be playing it 6 months down the line.

-360: RROD'ing during GTA would throw me into blind rage :P

Mine actually did that during the first loading scene :(

Thats like having a girlfriend who is pretty much the same as Kiera Nightly but.. a bit more pretty.

Your analogy is almost perfect, except for the use of Keira Knightly - the 'ol big jawed pouting anoxeric one doesn't float my boat. Substitute Ms. Alba and you're onto a winner ;)

I agree, too thin isn't attractive. Seeing that rib cage is just... Yeah.. But there's something about Keira Knightly (probably her face) that makes her really attractive. What would you grab onto though?!?!?!?!??

I've just finished watching Season one of Heroes... WHAT DO I DO UNTIL I GET GTA:IV??!?

:(

Her arse.

Watch House M.D.
 
lol. Is this even worth a reply. TWO DIFFERENT GAMES!

I know they're two different games. The question I'm asking is, does it offer a multiplayer experience that is as addictive, expansive worthwhile as the awesome COD4's multiplayer.

Now would you like that spelt phonetically to cater for your mental age?

Also games can be of a different genre and still compared.
 
You're weird.

If you like both styles equally then CoD4 is more addictive and far better balanced as it was made with multiplayer in mind. In GTA4 it seems like a tacked on afterthought.

Cheers mate. Thats the kind of answer I was looking for.

On a side note, does anyone else think that the forums should have an IQ test before being allowed to join:p
 
I'm also disappointed like a few others to find out my order that was supposedly shipped on the 24th has only actually been shipped today :(

So much for pre-orders arriving early (3-5 days expected delivery time).
Off to the local supermarket at midnight it is then!

Weird? You can't compare a FPS to a sand box game. GTA isn't even a focused MP game. COD4 was more focused on MP than SP.
 
I'm wondering the same, and will probably just make a gut decision on the spot.
Wish I could have the best of both worlds :/

+PS3: Preloading to HD for less texture/model pop-in
+PS3: Quieter machine
+PS3: Reliable (although my drive laser has died once, unit was replaced)
-PS3: Cant bear the god awful sixaxis controller. Especially as GTA will cause some lengthy gaming sessions :)


+360: Xbox live
+360: Far better controller (and rumble)
+360: (Personal) I have more friends on XBL over PSN
+360: DLC in the future
-360: Loud
-360: RROD'ing during GTA would throw me into blind rage :P
