Is anybody besides me excited that the trailer for GTA IV is coming out near the end of the month?

3. I can't say I'm excited about a trailer, and I don't have anything that would run the game
but it'll be neat to see where the technology is these days

4. Knowing what it involves, not particularly.
Edited on Sun Mar-04-07 07:22 PM by HypnoToad
Sorry to be a party pooper and I expect to be flamed regardless, but the game encroaches into reality a tad too much for my liking.

What's wrong with sci-fi situations and violence from imaginary weapons?

And, yes, I used to play GTA3 quite often. I felt I had to stop.



Note: Others can enjoy it and/or claim it drove them to beating a person to a pulp all they want, but that doesn't mean I don't have the right to vocally object and call it tasteless, crass, and demeaning. Amongst other things, the makers should be ashamed but they're rolling in the dough and that seems to count the most... Hmmm...

6. I dont find it half as offensive as the military shooters
But I can see why some don't like it.

7. I'm sure my son is...
and my husband will play it too when it's here.

I suck at video games, but I watch sometimes. The radio stations crack me up and it's pretty entertaining to watch. :)

11. The fake talk-radio channels are hilarious
Which is good because the only songs I like in the game are Hyperactive and Two Minutes to Midnight. :)

9. I'm probably not going to get excited for a game unless Bloodrayne 3 comes out.
Either that or Freelancer 2. Damn, that would be sweet.

12. I haven't played a stand-up game since Smash TV.
My kid's all about Gears of War, Halo and GTA. That's his thang, I guess. But he also likes Pong every so often.
