[THE PURPLE VIEW] Why GTA IV Won More Awards Than Urmm...

[Neil]

Shadowrun and Party Animals are actually quite fun to play.

Sure Shadowrun got boring after a while but most games do, party animals is fun to play, it's a party game you expect it to be over the top? :S

Oh and to those that are messaging me on Wordpress about me "Seriously, do you hate GTA IV to it's guts?" I don't know who you are but I can say that GTA IV is a good game, it's certainly not great, but I'm not going all ape on it for that. We were promised a great and fun free-roaming shooter, and we got this... well you read it.

I still play it to this day, and I breathe Grand Theft Auto... I just don't have it on my criminal record.

I agree with you there. It fell very short of expectations, it is still however one of the best games on the latest generation consoles.

Wouldn't doubt it for a second

I was just trying to prove that Shadowrun got over-the-top reviews and party animals... well... I'm just taking a stab in the dark at that one. But there's still one game that I can think off the top of my head which is not a 'great' game made by Microsoft.

Look I usually agree with you as you give fair reviews and your 'big weekly questions' are usually pretty good but your hating of GTA is just pathetic now. We understand that YOU dislike it, fine. Now move on...
Seems like you know GTA is a hot topic and you're using it for popularity time and again.

It's not pathetic, and I don't hate it. I even wrote in the first paragraph "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the sound of 100s of GTA IV fanboys yelling “OMG **** DROP IT NUB”"

I wrote the other GTA IV articles a long long time ago, a month after release I think, the only reason I wrote this one now is because the Lost and Damned is out soon.

And quite frankly, no-one at my school or anyone of my friends has even mentioned GTA in the last week - as soon as I talked about the article I wrote, only a few of them looked it up

Oh and this is the last of the series anyway, the GTA subject isn't but I'm done with IV

I'm not a fanboy.. I have it, I cba to complete it. I think it's dull and repetetive. Doesn't mean I have to write tonnes of articles about it.

[Fez]

Ohlols, didn't mean to put fanboys, thought I put fans - I must be slacking on the tonnes of articles I produce.
