I guess in terms of cities for GTA, I like my cities darker. What I mean by that, is I didn't like the feel of Vice City, it just felt too upbeat for me. I like the ideas of a place like Chicago, or a European city (London, Paris, or possibly Moscow, although I doubt many could identify with Moscow). I like the idea of DC, especially with some political corruption tossed in. San Diego just doesn't really seem like that kind of city that would be great for a GTA to me, it seems a bit too "happy" (I don't doubt there are some bad areas, but all you see on tv and everything i've seen in person just makes me feel that way). I like my GTA games more modern, although San Andreas still worked pretty well for me.
I am really excited for this game. I am very happy that in the period of months, I am getting two epic games in Mass Effect, and then GTA. GTA will probably be better, but those are two great games. I really like the way Rockstar goes about making this game. Even without Euphoria I'd be getting this game, just because of the total effort that is put into this game. I think we are really starting to see what some of these "Next Gen" games can do, beyond just graphics.
