I've never read so much elitist horsecrap in one thread.
You guys give Animal Crossing pass for it's shoddy graphics because it's "innovative". You talk about DK Jungle Beat like it's the bee's knees. Nobody rags on Katamari despite it's terrible camera system, and you want to heap up on GTA because it's popular? You guys sound like playa hatas to me, man.
How's this for innovation? I can get a pilots license, carjack a police car when I leave, drive to the airport (with Snoop in the background), hijack a jet, do loop-de-loops thousands of feet in the air, fly into the middle of Vegas, parachute out of the plane while giggling maniacally, land on top of the building, climb to the bottom, and play blackjack inside the nearest casino.
Is it as highbrow as Indigo Prophecy? No. Is it fun as hell? Yes.
And isn't that what makes a game? I find it pretty lame that you guys bust out the Nintendo mantra of "who cares about graphics and minor technical issues if the core game is fun," and then get all nitpicky when I wanna bust a cap on the streets of San Andreas.
Psh. And I think Rockstar has been VERY responsible with the GTA license. Every game has been significantly updated (in content/size if not graphics/control), and shoot... imagine if Sony was making this series in house! There'd be a new one every year! Then again, I've been a fan of the series since it was in 2D on the PS1 and the Circle button made you burp and fart. Maybe I'm biased.
