    Re: News - GTA IV system requirements revealed - time to upgrade?

    18gb these days is nothing when you think about the price of 1TB drives. Hex is conan any good? was looking at it but was holding off for warhammer, just wondering which of the two would be the better option.

    Don't worry, we'll probably get that too

    Re: News - GTA IV system requirements revealed - time to upgrade?

    Was only looking for this info. the other day. Already have this on the PS3 (purchased all previous games) and to be honest was finally disapointed with this game. Visually quite good but gets boring fast.

    Rockstar touted this game as a work of art (almost). There were some great ideas (the open style missions - Hitman like)

    ie. Were you kill the lawer by applying for a job, using police database, etc. But all of these missions were "scripted one-offs". You aren't given absolute freedom or enjoyment like previous games. I also didn't think it felt like a GTA game due to the music, some was good but not memorable (many classics set the mood in previous game), disapointed.
