  • NGliam, on 04/05/2008, -3/+495Because people who work at Rockstar JUST DON'T COUNT.
  • SteveThePlank, on 04/05/2008, -5/+253He may be a lucky bastard for completing the main mission of that undoubtedly amazing game, but it must suck having to rush through a game like that under pressure.
    Can't wait to take my time with it and enjoy it as much as possible. :D
  • sfcaptainrob, on 04/05/2008, -3/+223I don't think I've ever "finished" any GTA games. I always get too distracted with killing hookers and blowing cars up.
  • benitojuarez, on 04/05/2008, -3/+164anyone have any idea how many months itll be before we get the pc port? I only have a dreamcast.
  • mrfreeziexp, on 04/05/2008, -0/+133They're like points from Whose Line is it Anyway.
  • DeathJux, on 04/05/2008, -4/+112Props for keepin' it real. Dreamcast was the *****.
  • Ramzy, on 04/05/2008, -2/+84"Rob Taylor, deputy editor of Xbox World 360 magazine"

    Sad that reading is slowly becoming a skill...
  • cubbiesx, on 04/05/2008, -2/+78I don't think that "finishing" is really the point of the GTA games. There is an ending, of course, but it's not really about that.
  • stinger666, on 04/05/2008, -1/+73I can't take it anymore, the wait for GTA 4 is literally killing me. I'm going to have to freeze myself...
  • inactive, on 04/05/2008, -1/+68Omg I'm not too late! Stinger666 this is you 500 years into the future. I know what your thinking whatever you do don't freeze yourself!
  • SteveThePlank, on 04/05/2008, -2/+63No. For me, a game like that is something I want to take in at my own pace, and not be under pressure the first time I play it.
    For me, a lot of the magic of a game like that comes from the first time playing through, and exploring stuff as I go through it.
  • magicaltrevor, on 04/05/2008, -2/+62I heard there was a Dreamcast version in the works, and it incorporates the built-in 56K modem for online play.
  • mentallyinhell, on 04/05/2008, -8/+61I hate reading these. I don't know how much they mean and how much they were payed to say.
  • gfnw, on 04/05/2008, -1/+50Well they don't. Not very well anyway. They think this is only the 4th GTA game after all ;)
  • Zarokima, on 04/05/2008, -0/+40Madness?

    THIS IS A HORRIBLE SETUP TO AN OVERUSED MEME!
  • luke16, on 04/05/2008, -0/+37Im going to be sick with the flu on April 29th.
  • holyskeleton, on 04/05/2008, -1/+35One article, One page.
  • sweeneyowns, on 04/05/2008, -0/+33thats if you don't wander about all willy nilly beating people up for ***** and giggles
  • inactive, on 04/05/2008, -1/+26that's what she said
  • bweltondav, on 04/05/2008, -1/+24it's "paid."
  • irgeorge, on 04/05/2008, -0/+23Totally agree with that. I often play games for much longer than their suggested play time, (usually!) not because of incompetence but because I really enjoy slowly immersing myself in the game world. Nothing annoys me more than people who impatiently hammer the start button to skip cut scenes...
  • Namelessthinker, on 04/05/2008, -0/+21I think he was joking you asswipe.
  • slamcut, on 04/05/2008, -8/+29That guy sounds like a shill.
  • mrfreeziexp, on 04/05/2008, -0/+21Exactly my thoughts, that's why I never thought that a game reviewer was a dream job.. It would ruin my favorite hobby..
  • jjb123, on 04/05/2008, -2/+22I am going to have aids from April to June.
  • chris9902, on 04/05/2008, -0/+20It should've by now. They need to press and ship like 6 million copies before April 29.
  • Morphinity, on 04/05/2008, -2/+21I'd inclined to say 6 months maximum. It took a while for them to bring GTA3 to the PC, but they learned for Vice City and San Andreas and were rather speedy in bringing them to the PC.
  • punkcat, on 04/05/2008, -1/+20after unlocking the "***** and giggles" achievement i may quit.
  • spyrochaete, on 04/05/2008, -0/+19One thing I love doing in GTA games is just standing still at a busy corner and seeing how long it takes for total mayhem to break out, unprovoked.
  • mrfreeziexp, on 04/05/2008, -2/+20So has GTA 4 gone gold? I must not have seen that..
  • RetepNamenots, on 04/05/2008, -1/+17Two girls, One cup.
  • lukak, on 04/05/2008, -0/+16i want to touch his brain.
  • Agret, on 04/05/2008, -2/+15Depends on the quality of the game you're playing, sometimes the cutscenes are utter rubbish.
  • spyrochaete, on 04/05/2008, -0/+13I hope it's sooner than usual. The PC version is always the best by far. Best draw distance, resolution, frame rate, and of course controls. In San Andreas I think I finished the game firing 10 more bullets than there were heads.
  • Myonosken, on 04/05/2008, -0/+13He did for his job...
  • aceakm, on 04/05/2008, -1/+13I've killed people, smuggled people...Maybe here, things will be different.
  • exp3000, on 04/05/2008, -1/+1225 hour story mode? not bad, not bad at all

    i hear its 100 hours to complete the game 100%
  • crowbar77, on 04/05/2008, -2/+13I hate these kind of reviews, they got me so pumped for halo 3 and it turned out to be nothing special. It's kind of hard to trust any of these sites anymore when they give halo 3 a higher rating than cod 4.
  • strictnein, on 04/05/2008, -1/+12They do it just to piss you off.
  • B3000, on 04/05/2008, -1/+12Having been a game tester for several years, I can tell you - with no uncertainty - that you are full of *****. Play through progression is one of the major areas that needs testing. There are people in Rockstar's QA department who have beaten the game every single week for the last six months.
  • Fiestardi, on 04/05/2008, -1/+12That's cool, but I what about the soundtrack? I need to know. Radio stations are crucial in a GTA game.
  • lukemann, on 04/05/2008, -1/+12I'm looking forward to GTA IV because it's the only hope of ending my COD4 addiction.
  • TheLD, on 04/05/2008, -0/+10When they are mass producing games/CDs/DVD/whatever, they just stamp the disk and the data is there. Probably takes about a second.
  • peterjmag, on 04/05/2008, -1/+11Amen.
  • plizard, on 04/05/2008, -0/+10because the company needs to mass produce the game and give enough time to ship to stores. did you ever take a economics class?
  • spyrochaete, on 04/05/2008, -0/+10That's what happens when you mix a hobby with a career.
  • tecunx, on 04/05/2008, -0/+10Dear Lord, forgive these *****.
  • Tyorant, on 04/05/2008, -1/+11But then how will you play the new GTA!?!
    Unless....
  • darkMAMEr, on 04/05/2008, -0/+9Don't forget Liberty City Stories!
  • chris9902, on 04/05/2008, -3/+12Man, way to ruin one of the best game ever for yourself.

    GTA isn't about rushing through the missions. I kinda feel sorry for him that he had to play it this way.
