Sure, GTA IV is eating up your personal life, and all your free gaming minutes. It's garnered some of the highest accolades from the gaming press, the mainstream press is surprisingly not attacking it for its content, and it’s also raked in half a billion dollars of revenue in just a few days. It’s great, but it’s also glitchy; despite what Take Two’s Strauss Zelnick says.
The most serious issues have been lockups--especially on the PS3, but today Rockstar has released a patch that’s supposed to fix some issues, including the inability to connect to online games on the PlayStation Network. Hopefully the patch will serve its purpose, but there’s a ton of other weird stuff going on as well.
