People of Shoutwire, I am faced with a dilemmaPeople of Shoutwire, I am faced with a dilemma. Which is the better console for playing GTA 4?

I have played all of the previous versions of Grand Theft Auto on many different consoles since the very beginning but I have not yet played GTA 4. I do however mean to rectify this great tragedy of modern times by purchasing the game along with a shiny new console at the weekend. The only problem is that I am unsure as to which is the best console on which to play.

Some of my friends say the Xbox version is better as it has more downloadable content, the PS3 fan boys say their graphics are sharper and it has less load times. The only problem is that the Xbox boys have not played the PS3 version and the PS3 boys have not played the Xbox version. Both have warned me about purchasing an Xbox simply for the red rings of death but compared to the current difference in price, I am in favour of the Xbox at this particular time.

What I need is some advice from you, the people of Shoutwire, as I know that some of you will have already played the game, whether you have purchased it yourself of played the game at a friends house. I need to know which version is better, why, and have you played both versions?

Failing that, feel free to take the piss and leave comments like “I’m playing it right now bitch”

360 isn't shit. And yes, the driving is MUCH harder, but the game itself is NOT better than the third. Jesus man, wake up. There is so much to do, and yeah, there's no planes.. But there never was. You can still jack Helicopters and stuff. My friend has it for PS3 and I have it for 360 and there is no difference between the two other than loading time (sucks to say but ps3's loading time is half of 360)

But as far as games overall go, I chose 360 because they have good releases.

I have it on my 360 and it looks freaking awesome.

I don't really care too much about the graphics though, it looks good but not great.

Game play is what it's all about and GTA IV fucking rocks!

Try weaving around on a bike it is really realistic and adds to the fun.

Also it's fun to shoot someone in the head in a car and watch their head hit the horn. <BEEP>

Have you even played San Andreas?

Flying around in the Harrier jump jet and blowing the shit out of cars was a favourite of mine, and flying the jumbo jet into buildings was fucking awesome!

P.C.


Edit: yeah the harrier rocked. Although by the time you got to it you pretty much raped everything and the fun was gone. I did however love the under the radar mission and there was nothing better than having chopper transport!

Both Sony and Microsoft are proprietry assholes who will stop at nothing less than having 4 gaming systems (sony, nintendo, microsoft, pc) and proprietry games for each. You'll have to buy 4 consoles and 4 sets of games. Fuck em. PC only!

$500 PC that can run crysis. It is 5 months old so you probably can get the same parts much cheaper now:

Stop moaning about the planes. If you actually did a little research or simply read a review, you would of known there are no planes and wouldn't have wasted your money IYO.

ReaganI F*cking Hate What You've Become, America
Hello, my good friends and esteemed readers, Joe P. Reagan here. Today there is one question on my mind that I'm sure many of you share as well. America, what the f*ck are we doing?Today as I woke up and flicked on the tube, there was the most interesting and cute story. The story was done with the overlying theme of our valiant fight against all things terrorism and our need to continue to bring freedom to a savage world.The world is so dark and savage, apparent...
