I definately can relate. I expected to be blow away as well, but the character model especially let me down. I mean, check out his face and hair.. thats probably the biggest let down. It just appears so last gen. And I wouldn't put it past rockstar to rehash the same p.o.s game over and over again with little innovation.
The past GTA games, have done little to expand on what they already delivered. People are doing it better than them now, and they really need to step it up. I think they are planning on really just selling a name, and no longer a quality product. GTA will ship millions but I think it will be more interesting to read the reviews (and the ones that aren't bought).
They really should have released more gameplay information. How about buildings? They look nice.. can we GO INSIDE? Thanks for not answering that question Rockstar. Sure water looks pretty.. Are we able to swim? Are we able to boat (we can assume), what are the physics like? How about character animations? They still look pretty much like the same walking animation as the last time.. What about when he sets up to punch? Does it still feel cheap?
I dunno, I have alot of unanswered questions, but in my opinion they just set themselves back a bit. Most of the negative reaction is based on the fact they witheld screen and information for so long, only to "tease" with something that has most of us yawning... I wasn't impressed, and evidently I was not alone.
