So who will still play GTA4 in 2009?
Crunshii | 11:59 AM on 06.08.2008 11 comments


After reading jim's blog just made me realize that by late 2008 or 2009, whenever R* decides to bring the DLC to the 360 homes, who will be bringing back GTA4 back from the dust books.

I for once bought the game and I do enjoy it, allot, but after the next 4 days, I wont be touching it again for a while, and when new games start coming out, im afraid is going to sit next to my grandma for house decoration.

This boggles my mind if people, in late 2008-2009, with all the games that are coming out by then, will bring back GTA4 to buy and just play the DLC parts? by that time gas will be $18 a gallon, so I don't think people will be able to afford the DLC due to increasing gas prices.

Was Microsoft $50,000,000 investment in the game a good choice? Well they are sure going to send the Gates Mafia out to R* joint to start beating people up. I think R* should have not taken the deal if they weren't going to be able to deliver it on time, cuz you can't double cross MS, we all saw what Bill Gates did to Homer Simpson in that epidose, thats some scary shit.

R* not delivering? ok guys, this is the plan...

If the DLC is as lame as the rest of the game then, no, I will not be buying it or playing it.

If the DLC comes with extra achievements, then yes. What can I say, I'm an achievement whore. But I won't go out and buy games solely for Gamerscore, that's just weird. I just try to complete all of the game I have.
Raidensolid's Destructoid Blog
I still be playing it, much like past gta games, i keep coming back to them.
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
As a pretty solid and very detailed game, and not to mention a pretty cool experience as a story, I can see my self coming back to GTA4 even without DLC.

Its very easy to take a game as an event commodity, like movies. Who still watches the Matrix? No body. But who still breaks out great older games like Street Fighter III, Zone of Enders II, Mega Man (anything), X-Com, SimCity 4, even years after they've had their sales spotlight?

::raises hand::

And if the DLC is compelling enough, even slightly, I'm sure plenty of other people will come back to GTAIV

I'll probably be on my second or third play-through by then, after I've caught up with all my other games. I usually go through the storyline at least twice for every installment.

@Tubatic: I wish I was like you. I've wanted to go back and replay many of my favorite games (like RE4, Shadow of the Colossus, and the God of War games to name but a few) but I always get swamped by newer games. Such a shame.

What are you talking about?

There will be people who haven't even played it yet by 2009.

It's been a system seller for years with past iterations. Don't put it past people to be holding off on buying a console for awhile and this being their first title they pick up.
ajaxender's Destructoid Blog
Ill be playing it, since by then it should be on pc. It better be... i want to fuck with the config files!
Skribble's Destructoid Blog
I've played it almost every day since it came out. I've put in over 100 hours and I intend to put in over 100 more. Not the missions really, just causing havoc is the main draw for me.
