Hey guys, I have been looking at some games on Steam. There are two games that I want but I can only get one and Im not sure which is better for me. The two games are GTA IV and Borderlands. One costs more then the other but Im looking for a game that I can do anything in. I am an FPS gamer but the 3rdPS games are good too. The thing that I don't like about Borderlands is the RPG part and the thing I don't like about GTA IV is the hard drive space it takes up. So I would love to hear your opinion on it. Which should I be more intersted in getting?

While I do love Borderlands because I played the entire game co-op with a friend, GTA IV will offer more hours of unique fun (less "grinding"). Don't let hard drive space deter you from picking the better game. We can only offer you opinions, but your last sentence confuses me "which should I be more interested in getting". It is like we are making the choice for you, when in the end it is what interests YOU not us. :p

Ya I was leaning more towards GTA IV because of the endless hours of doing fun stuff. Anyways thanks.

If I have to pick between those two, I suggest GTA 4. Borderlands is boring and pointless. When you get sick of doing the missions in GTA 4, you can at least run amok in the city. ;)

why do you think borderlands is pointless? i was thinking of grabbing it for the 360

I don't know...IMHO GTA is the duller of the two. The story never pulled me in and gameplay itself wasn't all that fun really. The game worlds so static that while you can "drive around killing people" I find that gets dull very quick as it's always the same thing. Certainly I wouldn't say the game lets you do anything you want...neither will...they're both pretty restrictive in this regard.

At least Borderlands has a multiplayer component. Not perfect...but it does add to the game and overall I've had more fun playing Borderlands than GTA4. Also the RPG element of borderlands isn't that particularly strong and up to the point I got in the game i was always doing missions...not mindlessly walking around killing mobs.

Also how much Hard disk space do you have if you are concerned about GTA's install size? Unless it's the dload specifically thats putting you off I hope your system is fairly capable and the possible lack of HDD space isn't indicative of an older rig as I hear its a pretty demanding game. Maybe someone else can verify that but I thought that at least originally people were having trouble getting the PC port to run overly smooth.

Just my opinion. As a FPS fan maybe you could check out Bad Company 2 also.

GTA4 does have online multiplayer and I already got it today, so far it took 3 hours to download and now I'm just fixing the video options. Everything should be working by tomorrow.

By the way, I already own BC2 and it's awesome, if anyone wants to add me my name is in the sig.

have u looked at fallout 3?

Holy crap, I just looked at my steam stats and I've put 300 hours into GTA IV since christmas. Best $7.49 I've ever spent. I'm aiming to get to 100% complete game status. I haven't even touched multiplayer yet.

:blink: How is that even possible?! I managed to only get around 26 hours to complete the whole storyline and a majority of the side missions. You must really enjoy playing in New York Ci... I mean Liberty City.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
