Oh yeah. I also played D&D growing up. (Old school style on paper with a pencil and dice.) I remember “old people” being appalled that I was allowed to do such a thing.

I have yet to kill an Ork or Kobald in real life but I know it will happen eventually.

The other day I saw my daughter playing Mario Kart. She was having a blast and I was OK with that. Then I realized that she was shooting a weapon at other race cars.

My GOD!

There is no way she could possibly realize that the game she was playing was different than the real world. Three years from now she will be driving a car and shooting turtle shells at people.

NUTS.

Nat is mistaken. That is all.

Definitely not perfect, but a monumental achievement nonetheless. I can’t play Crackdown, Oblivion, Godfather, Saints Row, or any open world games really after this.

Liberty City is alive… and that’s the best part of GTA IV. Put all the other stuff aside, the politics, the worried mothers, the fanbois… everything. Put it all aside and see just how detailed and broad the scope of Rockstar’s city is.

I think I was caught up in the hype this time. I am a few hours in, and I’ve got mixed feelings. I will say this, though: no way this is a 10/10 game.

I respect your sticking to your guns on this one, Nat. Good on ya.
