"As it turns out, if you browse the internet enough on GTA, you might come across an Apple ad parody. The not so subtle mockery of Apple consists of a computer ad for "Fruit", that implores you to "THINK Simple. THINK Minimalism. THINK Overpriced." Ouch.
There's also an ad for a banana shaped "iFruit Phone" with "No buttons. No Reception. No storage capacity. All ego."
Looks like the folks at Rockstar aren't too impressed by the iPhone either." writes macuser.com
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
It's funny coz it's true!
It's odd that Microsoft get's made fun of all the time. But when someone makes fun of Apple it becomes headline news.
Just stating my observation..
I personally believe people shouldn't get to worked up about these things. Cause in the end it's always about what YOU WANT. People will always be around to joke about a product. It's there personal opinion and there entitled to it.
Study the kind of product you want, always go around and look at different companies to see what they have to offer. A lot of the time you may find something you like better then what is advertised out the wahoo in the media.
Touch screen phones and Wifi in devices have been around long before Apple did it. Like the Archos 604/605 for instance. I'd rather get the 605 then an iPod Touch any day. Yeah it may not look as pretty, but it has the kind of features I want.
The iPhone isn't innovative. It's ARTISTIC. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, as I am an artist and appreciate products that have a good look, as do most other people. I just wish people wouldn't get the 2 confused so much.
But what the iPhone and such has done is helped push Touch screens and mobile Internet more into the mainstream in North America. More and more companies are taking the plunge instead of the few who used to do it. So that's a great plus :).
I do think the iPhone is a top of the line product tho. I just think Steve over prices his stuff to much. I wish he would take the fact that.. If you make something really cheap, you can still end up making the same amount of money, if not more. Due to it selling SO MUCH more due to it's price. If you take a look at the graphics card market. Most of the money is made in the low and mid range cost cards. Not the high end expensive ones.
This comment was probably a bit off topic to the story.. But when I feel like talking..... I gotta do it :).
.
gotta love rockstar. apple is soooo very much over priced
Hahahahaha Rockstar totally pawned dere ass!!!!!!
