You people understand that “driving with a keyboard is stupid” is stale and obfuscating to me. The xbox 360 controller is compatible with 98% of windows games that are released after the xbox360. No setup is required, just plug n’ play. Grid, Pure, etc.

Can one surmise that improving GfW Live and making it free, was done in preparation for a title like GTA IV? Because you know that people would have been screaming at Microsoft, that Live completely ruined GTA IV, otherwise?

Up until now, they’ve sort of been able to get away with GfW Live being so shitty. But with a title like GTA IV – that’s sure to sell by the truckload, even on PC – there would have been a lot of people angry with Microsoft, without these desperately needed changes.

The official site suggests this is using Games for Windows Live Gold Extra 1000 Hours Free* for online multiplayer.

For fuck’s FUCKING sake.

I have a 360, where I do most of my games playing, and I haven’t got around to picking up GTA4 yet. I’ve just got far too many other games I’ve bought over the last 6-9 months that I haven’t finished playing to go buying one that is still full price. That, and I got bored of San Andreas and never finished it.

@Realhorrorshow
Let me complete your list a little:

Penumbra : Requiem – August 27
Dark Horizon – September 26

If you haven’t played the earlier Penumbras, you really should. Great little horror adventures, from a very small team.

The bank heist was a real let down for me. Kayne and Lynch (for all its faults) channels Michael Mann far greater than any other game I can think of and Mafia had a more immersive bank robbery scene. In GTA you drive up to the bank, watch a silly little cut scene and then run away in a linear, funnelled fashion shooting the same cops the same way every time.

This isn’t much of a spoiler I hope, but many of the missions are lazy and repetitive. I’m a huge GTA fan, and you’ll enjoy the game, but christ is it overrated. Again; San Andreas and Vice City beat it hands down.

I always thought the GTA games were good games, but nothing worth the hype that they receive now. I do buy them all, though. I think the PC edition will have pretty good showing.

CrashT: I find all GTA games boring, to tell the truth… Never understood why are people playing them :-)

IV was absolutely ace in the as-is Xbox version in my opinion, so I’ll be terribly interested to see what the modding community makes of this one. This might be the first game I’ve owned on more than one platform.

Any opportunity to play the bank heist level again will do, I think. One big ripoff/homage of Heat, but damn was it ever fun.
