Kotaku calls GTAIV The closest thing to perfection in gaming

http://kotaku.com/384421/grand-theft...t-of-happiness

Most people don't like IGN.
But I don't know anyone who doesn't like Kotaku.

"Sandbox-style, ultra-violent games like Grand Theft Auto aren't typically my thing, but GTA IV has made me a fan. A fanboy. Rockstar North has addressed virtually every single one of my personal hang ups about the series, crafting one of the most memorable experiences in gaming. We hate to gush, but it's just that good. Flawless? No. But it's about as close to a game can come to being perfect."

There. An anti-GTA gamer loved it.

I still don't think I would like it that much.

meh, not that interested anyway.

Very impressed it's gotten so many incredibly high scores though. Must be very polished.

This is where the Wii owners saying "The Wii was never meant to contend with the 360 and PS3" are probably punching themselves.

If it's such a great game with analogue sticks, I'm sure it'd be even better with the remote.

If Rockstar set their sights on getting the remote controls, it'd be perfect feedback and not just gestures.

I just came from kotaku and it seems nearly perfect. With the cons being something of personal preference. For example him not liking that some of the missions were too hard. I don't see that as a downside, I see that as a plus. Challenging = Fun, Easy = Boring.

I never saw the interest of GTA. It's just mindless killing with no point and is the same each game. This isn't perfection, Super Smash Bros. Brawl was. If Nintendo made GTA, it'd be way better.

i disagree with everything you said...

but anyways, this game is going to be awesome, no doubt about it. All these positive reviews are making me want the game even more. I absolutley can't wait until Tuesday.

Sorry, I was just really mad at some things the fanboys say on this site, so I wanted to see what people would say if I made completely biased statements. Actually, I like the GTA series better than Super Smash Bros.

have you ever played GTA? yea you can choose to just go around and kill people and get chased by cops but the main point of the game is the story and missions. yea some missions require you kill many people but not every mission is that way. also how can you say GTA has no point and is the same each game and then say SSB is better? every game is the same but with new characters and levels. all you do is beat someone untill they fall off the stage and die. so in other words SSB is also just mindless killing as well but with almost no story at all (please note i love the SSB series)
