GTA V Release date? & SimCity information

[Recursion]

One of their few exceptions. If memory recalls, their football and first person shooter divisions are good. Strategy and simulation are a huge let down (C&C, Sims etc.)

How so? C&C and The Sims are the best in their genres...

Used to be. C&C 4 was dreadful, they practically killed off the Command & Conquer series with that. As for The Sims, The Sims 3 is absolutely dreadful and lacks any long-time play value. They still haven't fixed the Adventures errors or the Late Night errors, with a few in between. If they had any brains in The Sims department, they would just fix the problems and not have modders do their dirty work. The Sims 3 is a huge let down compared to The Sims 2, and the reviews and the comments in their forums are testament to that (obviously you get the deluded brown nosers saying nothing is wrong, despite the fact EA made the entire game unplayble for 2 weeks).

The Sims 2 was also playable on most computers. The Sims 3 takes up way too many resources for what it does, and EA seem to think that everyone should buy the same computer (same specs, hardware etc) even though most game companies - indie ones included - can produce a game that can play on most computers as long as the specs are fine. They seem drawn to a specific graphics card.

I could go on. I just find EA the destroyer of simulators and strategy games. Obviously we all have different opinions.

I swear to God if GTA V is as monotonous as GTA IV then I'll be so annoyed!

I got really excited over GTA IV and then when I got it I just thought "it's the same as all the others". According to what I've heard GTA V is going to be very different and new.

GTA IV was pretty crap, it was a step backwards imo. If GTA V has a bigger setting and all the features GTA San Andreas had (maybe even more) I'll be very impressed, though. GTA V is still in development, I think it'll probably come out in the summer or autumn 2013.

I'm excited for GTA V but I'm more excited for Metal Gear Rising Revengence and especially Metal Gear Solid 5, which still needs to be formally announced, hopefully next month on the 30th. Never could really get into Sim City.. my ex from years ago had an obsession with Sim City 4, though.

I must be the only one on here then to think that GTA IV was actually quite enjoyable and the graphics were, if anything, an improvement on previous games.

I had no problems with GTA IV apart from it being a crappy port for the PC version which caused issues.

It's just that in comparison to GTA:SA, many features were lacking, which in my opinion is to be expected. The only thing I missed really was the ability to move a car by running into it.

Ahhh well I only had it on console, so no problems there

Yeah I suppose so. Reminds me slightly of Simpsons Hit & Run that...

Woop can't wait for this, I will either try and grab it before it's gone or wait until after Christmas and get it then.
