GTA 4: did it live up to the hype


It's been a few months since Grand theft auto 4 Came out. And I've been having a hard time trying to get through it , I have played the shit out of the last iterations of the franchise since it's reboot on the ps2. I loved getting through the story i enjoyed having him progress up through the criminal underground.
I have just unlocked 3rd safe house and i hate the missions that I'm doing i do not give a shit about anyone that i am currently working for. But also i even just played around in the world causing havoc in the sandbox in the last few games. Making Castles out of Cars and pedestrians and exploding them with Rockets and Grenades only to do over and over again. But in four i just can't get into that mindset of mindless self indulgence. for me i missed the customization that the last games allowed to have. I liked adding hydros to my car or taking over territory in gang wars.
Even with the online which i feel the shooting is just too random for me to take any enjoyment out of. Maybe I'm just bitching but we were all talking about this game was going to change all of our lives but to me the game faded away. I want to finish it maybe i just need to get a bunch of people over to help me get excited about it again.
