Anybody losing interest? I think I\'ve only just begun to dig into the storyline, but I find myself doing crossword puzzles in the newspaper or anything else instead of wanting to go back.
 
I think part of it is that some of the missions are a lot harder than before, but maybe also because there\'s no real reason to continue. I can do missions or not. The game doesn\'t care, so maybe I don\'t either.

I\'m kind of in the same boat, when I first got it, I was playing it hours on end.

but as it is right now, I am going for a couple of days at a time without playing it, and I\'m not even through with the stroyline missions.

I\'ll get stuck on a particular mission, then I\'ll give up, leave it for a day or 2, then try again until I beat it.

I have hardly even touched the online mode yet, despite all the rave reviews it got. the GTA4 online mode just cannot compete with COD4 online for me.

I\'d be thinking my gaming time is split between GTA4 offline, and COD4 online about 50-50 right now.

.



one has been doing multiplayer for 4 versions of the game and has an infinite amount of others to get an influence from to make it as smooth as possible. the other one has...crackdown, maybe?

you also cant really compare the different genres

my main problem with the story is you get no connection with people giving you the missions, so you just end up doing the missions for the sake of doing the missions instead of trying to accomplish a goal. ur characters goal is simply to get paid, except when the story gets going near the end when hes looking for some people

One thing they did right for sure is when they give you options of whether or not to let a person live.  There\'s one choice I\'ve seen in the storyline so far that really had me scratching my head, and of course, I second guessed myself pretty much right after pulling the trigger. That was a unique thought process that I haven\'t had before playing a game.

I haven\'t picked this game up yet and part of the reason is that i actually didn\'t think the characters were that interesting, and after hearing this..i\'ll probably just pass on it,..i was never a big gta fan anyway...the only game in the series that i did like was san andreas,....i\'m more of a survival horror fan anyway....*can\'t wait for silent hill/siren/ res evil 5!!*.....so is this game in your opinion overrated?

I\'m about 15 hours into it and the ending is no where near in sight.  This may be the only console game I buy all year...

just finished the main storyline, and I have to say, compared to past GTA games, it\'s pretty weak.

took me a few attempts, but that\'s only because I didn\'t know what to do.

now I know, I\'m pretty sure I could pass it every time.

Which ending did you take? I did both and I prefer Revenge. :)

Is it overrated? Maybe. But it got a ton of hype.
 
It\'s definitely a great game. When we\'re picking on things like the likability of the characters, you know that Rockstar has come a long way with everything.
 
Honestly, after a number of hours, I\'m starting to warm up to Niko and I\'m enjoying splitting my time between missions and generally just screwing around...

Try Deal, for more drama (if you\'re attached to the characters).
