I've never really payed attention to the GTA games' stories, so I like all of them. My brother really wants to get this one.

They get kinda fun, but I get tired of playing the series. It gets too repeditive.

It definately feels like the same game in a different town. Oh, but now I get to ride bicycles! Yay! And boats? Woot!

I'd have to say Saint's Row takes the cake for this genre. It looks a lot better, the engine is better-built, and there's a bit more to it (just the way the game feels, not sure how to describe it).
I'm XBC Requiem, in case none of you noticed.

My brother said that once. Then I smacked him upside the head. You can't compare a 360 GTA rip-off game to the Xbox 1 GTA series. It's not logic.

Agreed, I tried Saints Row and thought it was terrible compared to GTA.

I loved all the gta games except london (rubbish) I really like the fact you can find 100s of way to entertain yourself that aren't objectives of the game (like the sky diving swimming pool challenge or driving fast bailling out then exploding the car in large groups of people) I think the next one will be good too but it won't meet my expectations, I think it needs to be a MMOLRPG with elements of game play overlappping,
<your mission rob a bank, some other 10 guys who's doing their police car missions are the guy chasing you>
there's other things I'd include like drug addictions, you use drugs once to get a mission done easier but then you end up being a bit slower and easier to kill after unless of course you take more drugs and this brings in drug dealing and my imagination runs away with me anytime anyone says "next gta game"

Although to be truly happy, for me you would have to be able to scan an ordinance survey map into the game engine and it would make the map into a game environment,

anyone up for Grand theft Auto (in england known as TWOC taken without owners consent) Dewsbury?

Agreed, I hated vice city, mainly just because I "Just" got used to the liberty city setup, THEN IT CHANGES! so fuck that... plus i think that the "stories" games were horrible for the consoles (for PSP it was ok) just because they didnt make it feel like liberty city in #3 :(

I shouldn't say that, I really enjoyed 3 as well. There were elements (not that the games are very different) that I like from each, but I prefer Vice City.

did a small look up
Its going to support up to 16 players in multiplayer woot! I can have my gas station sniper challenge!
And they changed the way the police will look for you too, no more easy pay and spray escapes
And you no longer open a car door and drive away, you break in and hot wire it
And you can get drunk too
Who's up for the drunk driving suicidal race challenge?
