Five Days Locked in a Room With GTA IV

bippy writes "Five days, one game. The Rocky Mountain News has a write up of five days spent playing Grand Theft Auto IV recently in a San Francisco hotel. It ends: 'In Grand Theft Auto IV the story isn't just an amalgam of cut scenes and cleverly written dialogue, it's the experiences I create, too. It's now, watching Niko stand, his shoulders slumped, that the depth of this game finally hits me. Niko's journey, the one crafted by Rockstar, may have ended, but Niko's adventures in the story I am creating have just begun.'" The most anticipated game in a while, to be sure. I'm certainly looking forward to busting some heads and jumping ramps.

GTA...meh

When I sit down with a fully unlocked save file and every cheat code I can find, GTA becomes one of the greatest games ever and I can just play it for hours on end. Occasionally I try to start from the beginning and play the missions and, to be honest, it's god awful. Everything I've heard seems say that the GTA IV missions are better, and I hope that is so, but god damn some of the things you have to do those games are just retarded. One of the earlier missions in San Andreas involves tapping buttons quickly to win a low rider contest. What the fuck? I just want to kill hookers.
