it is on my to buy list

Excited and preordered in full. So now should my parents ever read the "M" rating on it, I'll be all like "Too late I already bought it!"

Odd fact is that Nico is based of a company car driver that works at Rockstar.

It's the first and only GTA game I've ever considered buying.

That has to stand for something, I think.

Game looks great, and if it has no problems, it's going to be one of the best of the year. Oddly...I'm REALLY looking forward to it.

I opted not to preorder it. With as much as they're trying to accomplish with this new installment in the series I'm not rushing out to buy it before the reviews are actually out to back up all the hype. Looked up some information on some early play tests though, and it sounds like it offers a lot more challenging gameplay and enormously detailed environments to explore. Seems like climbing around has been implemented as well. If it has any parkour elements it could really take sandbox games to a new level.

I really wonder how it'll translate to console though. I've only played GTA games on PC before, but GTA:SA ran pretty slow on my 2ghz laptop unless i used the lowest settings, so I don't think it can handle this one. The auto-aim system in the console versions sounded like it would really ruin the experience for me, but i'm optimistic.

It's either going to be one of the greatest single player games of all time or a colossal disappointment. Rockstar usually makes good on its promises so I really don't have too much worry about.

You can turn auto aim off on the xbox by going to the xbox guide, go on ur profile where it says ur name gamerscore , and on on game defaults. Then u go on the action defaults and turn auto aim off, also u can put the y-Axis inverted.

I figure game of the year! G1011 is my xbox live gametag if anybody needs a friend to play GTA IV. Looking for some friends seeing as I have only one.
