I couldn't get on earlier this morning but now I can. Right now for me at least the online portion is just about unplayable. The load times are insanely long and very rarely does it let anyopne finish a whole multiplayer session without everyone getting booted. And when the room is full, the in game sound is not working. Very frustrating because last night the multiplayer was running perfect

Wow. I'm going to get flambasted for this, but I really don't care for this game so far.

The controls are so unresponsive, the graphics are meh and it just feels too "heavy".

Maybe I need more time with it. I don't know but my initial impression is that it's

. I might be the only one who feels this way right now. LOL.

This is my only complaint. The controls are just a tad unresponsive. Maybe I need more then a half hour though so we'll see. The game still knocks my socks off though.

I have to ask, because right now i'm conflicted between 360 or PS3

I haven't played it yet so I don't know. I did buy a PS3 just for the Show. However make sure you look at the total picture as far as games available etc... While I did buy a PS3 just for the Show I wouldn't have, if it was at the expense of getting rid of the 360. XBOX LIVE is awesome. PSN is getting better so in time they will "hopefully" be the same.

You are only getting 1 system so base it on what you like as far as games. If Sony exclusives are for you or you're a huge baseball game then PS3. If 360 games are for you then 360.

Were you hyping the hell out of the game? Just wondering, because disappointment is usually what happens when you put a game on a pedestal. Rarely can anything meet that hype.

I read a review that said the early missions are mainly there as tutorials. I'm guessing the first 10 missions will be all tutorial based.

no ur not totally off. cuz i kind of felt this way last night when i began playing. but u really have get used to the controls because you are right, the game is much "heavier" than any other GTA game.

you can notice this off da bat cuz i been playing san andreas trying to beat it until yesterday so as soon as i started playing GTA4 it felt so different. but dont worry, after u get used to it, its all good!

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

Can you guys explain what you mean when you say the game feels "heavy?" Just curious.

Am I the only one who just uses that slow, casual walk to just take in everything that's happening around me?

No, actually I wasn't at all. I didn't know what to expect.

I'm not sure, it just feels real heavy to me. I guess I'm used to the faster pace the other GTA's moved at.

Like a melee for instance. The faster I would hit the buttons, the faster the person would get beat up. Stuff like that and also when I'm driving.

It's cool...I'm just wondering. I'm the same as you for this game, no hype whatsoever. I've just found in the past when I watch every pre-release vid, read all articles, just go nuts before a game drops that it's never as fun as you thought it was gonna be.

FYI, I have a 360, and it just red ringed on me last night. I don't want to go back down that route anymore, so once it comes back from Microsoft, it's going to the nearest trade in store to line my pockets.

I want a PS3 for reliablitity...i'm not huge on online gaming either.
