Now that you've been playing a while, how is GTA 4 holding up?

No, some issues are not matters of opinion at all. The aiming system is clumsy and nowhere near as responsive as many other shooting games on the xbox, for instance.

No, that is your opinion. In my opinion the targeting system was just fine. Remember : this is not a shooter.

For years now, the ability to save anywhere has been standard even on many console games. That GTA IV doesn’t even provide the option to have a checkpoint vs. save anywhere system, especially when many missions can be failed all too easily, do speak to an annoyance factor that should’ve been eliminated.

That many people have and will find the save system frustrating isn’t a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of fact.

This is again your opinion.
Saving during a mission would actually hurt gameplay and there are loads of games that employ the same system, where the game only saves at checkpoints.
