Seems like as good a time as any to yet again pimp my epic, 14 episode, spoiler free, no nonsense absolute beginners guide..!

So they recorded 500,000 lines of total clichéd dialogue?

A lot of my mates loved the multiplayer in the first one, so much so that they say they could take or leave the single player.

The best thing about GTA IV was Electrochoc.

Here's some snippets from GTA IV previews. Let me know if anything sounds familiar.. Everyone gets very excited about the ideas Rockstar have (including me!) but I'd argue none of them have really ever delivered. The hype is absurd! I'm actually quite impressed I've managed not to get drawn in, for once.

What a very cynical view. Its a bit chicken and egg, I suppose. Did people create capitalism because they were greedy? Or does capitalism create greed?

Basically every large game dev is like this btw. Sorry time for a new hobby!

Except for all the hype around gta 4 and 5 that basically came to nothing?

The DLC extends the length of the game by about a third, and probably has some of the best bits of the game in it. It's probably the best DLC ever released in terms of content and quality. But then, I am a bit biased as Bloodborne is my number 1 game of all time tbh.

I find this a bit difficult to empathise with, I got through it in about 25 hours?

I just was about to post this, love Matt's critiques. He's basically bang on. Spreads itself too thin. The epitome of AAA gaming.

Well, I dusted this tonight. It was definitely enjoyable and entertaining, but I'm not quite sure I see the 10/10. I didn't click with the combat at all, it felt very haphazard and a bit random. I even dropped it to easy close to the very end.. The best bits of the game were the spectacle of the locations, chatting with the blacksmiths and the ludicrous polish on the action cutscenes. And I guess the final sequence before the credits start was neat.

Thanks, exactly the kind of response I was looking for. I have been ignoring the side stuff. I've not the inclination, it's taken long enough as is!

Following on from what SqueakyG said on the previous page, could someone give me an approximation of how far through the main story/campaign I am, in the form of a percentage? I got a little bit further than:
