GTA 4: The Greatest Game of All Time?

According to Metacritic.com, a website that averages review scores, GTA 4 on both PS3 and Xbox 360 have an average review score of 100 (out of 100) each, an unheard of feat! The only games that have scored even close (considering pc and 360) is Half-life 2, The Orange Box and Bioshock all with 96 point scores. Could GTA 4 already the greatest game of all time, the critics have spoken yes...

PS3 Metascore 100/100

360 Metascore 100/100

Update: The 360 version now has a 99/100

and yet critics can be wrong
the game has issues... so of course it is not perfect
if it is not perfect... it doesn't deserve a perfect score
if it has a perfect score... it's because critics were paid off.

it continues to amaze me how misguided one can be.

Ha! I beat Kotaku.com to the punch, they posted an article similar to mine. Too bad the Kotaku one is on the main N4G page and not mine :)

No game can ever claim to be the greatest game of all time, (outside of personal choices), but 1 one game can be the greatest for a time and right now its GTA4's time.

JoelR6563d ago

now this type of statement I agree with!

MULE
ELITE
PACMAN
STARCONTROL
ZORK
ULTIMA
MARIO

all at one time or another have been the best of their era and none of them overshadow the achievements of the other. All are great games and deserve to be called the best game.

The score that a bunch of critics give a game does not define how great that game really is. I remember Halo 3 got 94, so I bought it, and was disappointed.

Everything's overrated nowadays, which makes it harder for truly great and original games to excel, where the same old crap shifts millions of units day by day (see: Nintendo).

The Witcher comes to mind...
probably game of the year but since it is small market and not reviewed much it will be passed over in favor of GTA

DevonTheDude5356563d ago

You haven't played GTA4 yet huh?

JoelR6563d ago

played GTA 22 hours now... and Witcher is still better

try it ^_-

Metal Gear and FF 13 and versus.

Truplaya6563d ago

i disagree with you coz i'm not hyped up about either of the games you mention

FF - Too Japanese and turn based, plus its an RPG (yawn)

MGS - its gonna be about 80% cutscenes. i'll pick it up but i'm not expecting to be amazed by it like i am with GTA.

Review: Pragmata On Switch 2: An Ambitious Port Held Back By Variable Performance

DF: "Ultimately, our feelings on the Switch 2 version of Pragmata are mixed. It's an impressive technical feat to bring a current-generation RE Engine title to mobile hardware without losing its fundamental aesthetic, and the use of DLSS even allows the Switch 2 to deliver a higher-quality image than Series S.

Unfortunately, that isn't enough to make up for an unlocked and variable frame-rate that will be immediately off-putting to performance-sensitive players. That makes it harder to recommend, which is a shame for a port of this level of ambition."
