Rockstar dug themselves a big whole when they made San Andreas, it was a bar that no game could ever go past, imo

They do not deserve the perfect scores, but I guess when you have only 2-3 days to write a review, GTA iv leaves nothing but a sweet taste to your mouth :)

ahh, that’s the point. Ok, I agree with you. This little thing can definitely jar on the nerves.

So a hairs breath away from 10 is damn fine for any game . . it would be my form of what a 10 would be, ie: 9/8/10 (98%) . .

Im aware of how the thumbstick works with the cover system, but that has not been why my struggles with the cover system has occured. Should just agree to disagree on this one. Theres enough people angry I did not give it a ten as is :p

I have not had the problem of getting out of cover only for Niko to just swap on to the opposite side.

I have only had Texture pop-ins when delivering cars for a character, and the garage always takes 2 seconds to load every single texture in there. But you never see it further into the game after you deliver all the cars.

It also wasnt to do with the fact that it felt like it was on the wrong button. I just had a lot of problems with it. There were numerous times he would take cover on the opposite side of an object I was trying to take cover on. It just did not feel as polished as the rest of the game, so the issues I had with it really stood out.
The random pop-in was also quite frustrating and it seems to happen increasingly often the further I progress.
As I said it was an amazing game. Its just not a perfect game.

I find the cover system very helpful and handy in times of need and personally it is a great addition.

What button would you have assigned it to mate A.? I think RB is perfect for it. I my self would not give it a 10/10 for the few graphical glitches in the dumbest of places where you would expect them not to be and some character glitching which has made me re-try missions over and over again and does get annoying.

Losing .2 points because it is sporadic at time isn’t a good enough reason for me to warrant a .2 point lose. Most people won’t understand* when they play it. They may not have the same trouble as you.

But then again that is my opinion. But being it as silly as because it is assigned to the RB lol i laugh.
