Grand Theft Auto 4 Impressions
I didnt finish the game, so by my own system i cannot write a review.
This game caused me to abandon my 360, and cancel my gamerpass.
There is like.. Diminishing returns, on GTA4. Its fantastic right off the bat, the multiplayer is (sometimes) pretty fun but (usually) pretty gay. But the kicker was that i got it home, played it for a couple hours, and went to bed feeling as though I had accomplished nothing in the game.
The following day i repeated this process, playing for a few hours.. Feeling like I had done nothing, and then stopping.
For the next few weeks, every time I played it, I dont think I felt the grasp of accomplishment once, and it took its toll on me, as I started to play it less and less.
This brings to mind the Penny-Arcade comic where they say that when given the oppritunity to do everything.. one chooses to do nothing.. its true. Soon I had no desire to even turn the game on..
I wanted to give GTA4 a 10 like every other ass-kiss site in the world, but Epic Fails are Epic Fails, and a game that reduces the players desire to play the game loses points.
conveniently though, since I did not complete the game (was on the last line of missions though) I can't say that i would give it a 8.5
maybe Chewspitt will write a review

Oh, Hi
So the site died for awhile, due primarily to me being roped back into playing WoW by my Wife, Chewspitt's PC dying, and Fonny not writing anything ever anyway.
We came back because a friend of ours was running a guild and asked us to, but that fell through, i tried remaking my old guild, but didnt have the time nor energy to wipe peoples asses.
we xfer'd back to that shithole i used to play on (Underbog) and after the guilds fell through we picked a random server and xfer'd.
So since we stopped playing they added a shitload of stuff, the sunwell and the island dailies, various changes to classes, made the game much easier, cool.
Still playing My priest but Alden rerolled a rogue, she seems to like that better than her warlock, coolies.
So im going to come back to this, and start posting again. Most of my posts will be me theorycrafting or debating game mechanics, i think joe might write some reviews, and if i play a new game ill write a review.
More Later
