It's crazy how long the Japanese have to wait for some releases. I thought we had it bad in the UK for some dates, such as Rock Band. If I remember correctly Bioshock and Stranglehold were not released there until recently and we have had both for over a year.

@#8;

I am sure they will be more disappointed than us as they have had to wait even longer. :p

Andy thanks for assuming your oppinion goes for everyone, it helps us not have to make up our own minds. I for one count myself lucky :).

i would be dissapointed for them but seeing as this game is terrible i'd recomend them to get saints row 2 instead

Well, that kinda sucks for them, but at least they got it and can make up their own minds on it. Have they had all the other GTA's before? And have they sold as well over there as they do in the US or here in the UK? I guess the previous sales figures will show how important this news is for the Japanese.

@#8 and 18

why are you even posting if you think the game is terrible? i thought GTA 4 was awesome. Japan should be happy that they are getting a good game. And shame on Rockstar for making them wait so long because how many times did the release date get pushed back?

Peace

@4

Australia STILL doesn't have Rockband 1... :-(

Even if the Jap GTA4 does have another 1000 GS, the new dashboard update removes all double games from your gamercard and removes the GS.

How's about in return they translate Raiden 4 into English? Fair's fair.

Didn't know Japan didn't have this game already. Well, hope they enjoy it come October. It's alright, but doesn't last much longer than the story and achievements. Now I'm waiting for Saints Row 2 so I can spray people with raw sewage instead of taking my friends to the cabaret club. :P

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
