I didn't like it the first few times I tried playing the game because I thought the game was visually dark and the lack of ability to see what I was doing was killing the joy. Fun fact - i did not like GTA IV when I first tried it and I was heartbroken that all my time waiting to be able to play this game was for naught. I first played GTA IV after years of watching walkthroughs and spending hours on their website back in the day, on my brother's Xbox 360. After having been introduced to GTA via GTA: Vice City, I've been chasing that gaming style for years until I got to play GTA IV. GTA IV is a milestone game in my gaming journey.
