It was definitely satisfying to get the hang of but when so much of the game is vehicle based it’s jarring that handling is so poor to begin with. I personally prefer GTA Vs handling but I don’t think IV broke the game. Just one of the few areas that felt a bit rough in such a well made game.

Oh aye 100% agree there, gta4 cars were actually a little challenging wheras gta5 the handling is maybe a little too easy at times

I played gta 4 for the first time this week since I was younger and I like don’t get what people have with driving ,it’s a little slow at first and definitely has more weight but after my first hour I felt like I was driving In any other gta but with less reaction time honestly made the driving more fun for me when I usually don’t care for it might just be me though

I love the Banshee in gta iv. It reminds me of the red banshee you can steal out the auto shop in GTA 3

After you mastered how to drive in GTA 4, you would realize that GTA 4 has the most realistic driving simulation of all time.

Hard agree. Everything in the game feels like it’s working in unison to support its themes and story.

GTA 5 begins with a prologue where 3 criminals take on a heist where Brad and Michael gets shot and Trevor escapes. This already lays the foundation that they are bank robbers and then in another cutscene, we see a burial and Michael watching his own funeral from a distance and it flashforwards to 9 years later and Michael is now a rich guy and family man who is heavily depressed. We have a cutscene where he has a conversation with his therapist where he kinda laments that he misses his crime days while denying that and that's the actual truth about an habit, it doesn't just go away, like in GTA 4 where the game tries to tell a message about morals and the missions totally opposing everything the story stands for. The camera angle shifts to Franklin and Lamar who are street's hustlers and members of a gang called the families. Franklin's and Michael's life intersect and they take on a heist which is announced on Tv and Trevor finds out that his best friend had faked his death all along because of Michael's dialogue to the guard guy and then comes back for Michael but they end up hugging in out even though it keeps causing them to quarrel frequently along the line and Franklin becoming the peacemaker. It introduces characters from Michael and Trevor past like Lester as they plan to take on their biggest heist ever, the big one. The narrative unfolds as Michael, lured back into a life of crime, teams up with Franklin and Trevor for a series of increasingly ambitious heists. Along the way, they navigate a complex web of criminal alliances and personal conflicts. The plot takes unexpected twists, revealing government involvement, personal betrayals, and moral dilemmas. Michael's troubled family life, Franklin's quest for success, and Trevor's volatile nature add layers to the story. As the characters confront their pasts and face the consequences of their actions, the narrative weaves a tale of crime, redemption, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. The story explores themes of greed, betrayal, and the pursuit of the American Dream, providing a gritty and satirical look at contemporary society

gameplay is arguable and I preferred that of GTA 5 but the environment and atmosphere easily goes to GTA 5. Most GTA 4 enthusiast can't even stand that ugly dark gritty filter and always mod it to look like GTA 5 but the car crash and ragedoll goes to GTA 4. Also neither of them are below 8/10. I would rate GTA 4 an 8.5/10 and GTA 5 a 9.5/10. It has the best single player in the franchise so far. San Andreas looses it way once you leave Los Santos and becomes a chore for example the zero missions, airplane school missions and stuff but I'd still rate it a 9/10. Although you are entitled to your opinion. No offense intended

GTA 5 online has fewer interiors than the story mode and most GTA 5 players who never played the story mode always mistake the online, where most story mode interiors are locked for the story mode. GTA 5 story mode has more interiors than GTA 4. GTA 4 didn't even have garages or tattoo shops, saloons or car dealership shops. It had very few interiors like your apartment, strip clubs, train station, clothing stores, restaurants and car wash if I could call that an interior. GTA 5 on the other hand has those stuff I listed above and more like ammunition stores, movie theaters, vanilla unicorn, gentlemen clubs, strip clubs, the hen house, floyd apartment, 24/7 stores, vendors stores, bigger and more detailed police stations, FIB building, los santos custom shops, Bahama mamas west plus those I mentioned earlier and many more plus there are more of these in GTA 5 than GTA 4 for example there are six police stations in GTA 4 with very small interiors and some being duplicates but there are 7 police stations in GTA 5 and the FIB buildings which doesn't exist in GTA 4. There are only 3 safe houses in GTA 4 but apart from the 3 houses like Franklin apartment, Trevor trailer and Michael house, there are 5 more unique apartments that can be purchased in GTA 5. There are total of 21 different restaurants including fast food vendors, dinners and more upscale eateries but there's a total of 20 establishment that player can eat from in GTA 5 apart from the locked cluckin bell and food vendors for example up-n-atom-burger, bean machine and upscale establishment like the Epsilon Center and The Gentry Manor Hotel. If only restaurants were open, there would be about 80 in total. There are 13 clothing stores in GTA 5 meanwhile theres only 6 in GTA 4 including Modo, Perseus, and The Russian Shop. There are only 11 spray and paint in GTA 4 meanwhile there are a total of 18 Los Santos Customs locations where you can customize your vehicle appearance and performance not just losing wanted level and changing vehicle color. There are 5 tattoos shops and 6 barbershop in GTA 5 and none of these exist in GTA 4.

You have your opinion , but in my opinion, gta v is the best , it became boring after rockstar milked the game

Gta 5 is like a Hollywood blockbuster. Gta 4 is art

post of the month.

I definitely think it marked a shift in the way Rockstar approached its stories and characters. And I really enjoyed the approach. Definitely my favourite gta story and lead character.

Same - the GTA IV circlejerk claiming the game is an underrated "realistic" masterpiece was really annoying and really tainted my view of the game for a while. It's a damn fine title and absolutely has the best story in the series, but it has some pretty big flaws as well. That mob has definitely died down more recently though and I've started to appreciate 4 a lot more as a result.

@@OutlawedPoetto me it is their magnum opus so I can see why others think that. Gta v and the other grand then autos are meh, red dead 2 was boring and I couldn’t get through ch 2 without getting tired lol. Red dead 1, not even on my radar and I don’t care about. So gta iv is their best for me, and it’ll likely stay that way

The Internet pushes it due to Crowbat's unfair video comparison and because people think that realism is everything in games.

You think gta 4 doesn't action scenes?

I think it’s obvious I agree but thanks for commenting

😂 I’m starting to guess so…. might be getting some confirmation bias though from the kind of people who will click on a video by a no name channel about a 15-16 year old game

Yeah the ending(s) and the kind of inevitability of things is what really nails the story as a great imo.

​@@Dimbritwhere is my scooter brother

Haha whilst I like your phrasing I disagree. Whilst sure it’s closer to real than gta v the suspension and body roll is kinda dialled up to 11. Like I said though, it didn’t break the game and it’s just a small blemish (for me) on a game I think is otherwise pretty faultless.

@@Dimbrit i mean its not 11 more like 0.75 on the cars, specially the cars from back than. If you turn as fast as you can through a corner at broker, the car leans towards one side like a motherf..., but there was a comparesson, a car at this angle mixed with the speed would flip (talking about the suvs here). And for the taxis or sports cars, i mean if you dont break than your gonna understeer like thats completely normal. Plus the sence of speed makes a difference. Most games make you fly through tight streets or have just an complete over the top sence of speed. To the bikes, i cant say anything. Im not a Bike expert. But to the cars it may seem over the top, but it isnt if you compare it to road cars and Race Cars. Street cars basicly dont have the aerodynamics and grip to be driven like in most games. At least thats my take. Like ofc if you disagree than thats fine. But just wanted to explain why i think like this

Still gonna be better storywise. Fanboy fanboy fanboyyyyyy

We need more people's like you. These Heini's really can't stop whining about gta 5.

Rockstar wouldn't overlook Gta IV if it wasn't overlooked by players. And it sounds dumb to say that you have to be a "fanboy of Gta V or San Andreas" if you don't agree IV is the best.

IT'S NOT THE BEST!!! JESUS CHRIST WHATS UP WITH THOSE MFS??

It's not the past 3 years. This has been going on for 9 years, ever since the infamous "Gta IV is better.." video released in 2015.

Gta V will end up being more appreciated in the future, Gta IV is the one that is more likely to end up forgotten.

It wasn't a downgrade. GTA isn't designed to be a driving simulator; its goal is to create an intuitive and fun driving experience, not a realistic one.

​@@ricecake-vk8bythat's true.

What didn’t you like about 5? I really enjoyed my time with it… they def milked online and shark cards etc a bit which I guess has left a little sour taste but as a single player game I think it’s up there. I’d probably rate 4 higher because of what it did and when it did it but still…

@@Dimbrit ah i just realised that i never was a gta fan after seeing the gta 6 trailer. Gta 4 is like a concept album from your favorite band. More personal and deeper with a dark tone.

Plus the cancelled story dlcs and the weird online mode thing is something what i dislike. But i just in generell never really was a fan of that franchise and i realised that. But i do kinda like 5.
