I think the biggest thing with GTA IV's Liberty City is that it wasn't actually supposed to feel like New York as Americans see it. It's supposed to come from the eyes of someone who comes from Eastern Europe, almost blending the bleakness of that environment with the colorfulness of "The American Dream"

[@Cnd2Mn]

It may be because of the color filter, The Lost And Damned has an even more screwed up grainy filter that disappears and reverts back to the GTA IV default one after the completion of the storyline, and The Ballad of Gay Tony completely lacks it

GTA IV is my favourite. I’ve played Chinatown, San Andreas, IV and V. I couldn’t disagree more about the atmosphere of this game. This city feels more alive than any other setting in this franchise. It feels bleak, grimy, deprived. It’s probably the only GTA with a mature perspective of criminal life, you feel this constantly in the environment. The understated saturation, in the correct lighting, makes the concrete streets look so real. Every other game by comparison is too colourful and detracts from their realism. And dude, the soundtrack??? Turning the jazz radio on and cruising through this dense city as this disturbed military veteran makes you feel like you’re playing Taxi Driver. I loved the car physics in this game. It’s the only entry in which the driving mechanics are an actual skill that you develop the more you play. You will probably suck at high speed chases when you start, it requires focus and dedication to successfully manoeuvre your car. But this means that every successful moment you have is completely earned, it’s up to you 100% to not fuck things up and wipe yourself out in a high intensity moment. And the same principles apply to combat. I couldn’t stand the hard lock on aim, so I played the entire game with free aim, and this made it so much better. Once again you develop your aiming skills so that you can proficiently complete your jobs. If you don’t use cover wisely you will also be shredded by gunfire. These more independent mechanics add so much more stakes to the gameplay and totally plays into the criminal experience, it’s grounded. I think that’s what GTA IV does best. It’s more of a crime drama than an action film like 5 is. Also, Roman is probably the most likeable and well written side character in any GTA game. Seriously, who would compete, Lamar? He’s funny but not nearly as well written. Your description of Roman as the “oh no i fucked up again haha” character is a huge over simplification. Maybe at the start of the game, but for the majority of the game it’s Roman who suffers at the hands of Niko’s actions. Both his reaction to having his business and apartment burned to the ground and his conversation with Niko about revenge after he kills Darko Brevic is some of the best dialogue in the entire series hands down. Dude goes through some horrible shit in this game fr. GTA 5 dumbs down everything 4 did so well.

GTA V was a pivot point in so many people's lives who played video games. The fact that it has been relevant for the last 10 years says a lot, and San Andreas still is getting love over 2 decades later. But there was something special about V because it was a long wait from GTA IV. It was the first game I picked up at a midnight release, waiting in line to get my copy, talking with everyone about it.

[@tonycasonova6507]

I personally think IV is the best with the atmosphere. I can see how you may not feel like you're in control with the car because of the learning curve but it takes the atmosphere and amps it up to 11. The game was definitely the GTA 3 of the HD universe. By that I mean the side stuff is minimal compared to GTA 5 (because the story in 4 is way more focused and stronger)

[@R4M_Gh0sT18]

GTA IV was perfect for the 9 yr old that I was, story was sooo deep and niko was easy to root for. Driving and physics were enjoyable to me and it was different from san andreas which was my first GTA. SA might be the best overall (yes better than 5 imo as a game overall) but IV was my childhood and by far my favorite.

[@moonfur02]

GTA IV is what introduced me to the series and is currently the only GTA game I've played. I was three years old when the game came out, but I remember my dad bought it while we were taking a day trip to best buy maybe a few years after. Growing up I would watch my dad play video games on our PS3, most of which were Call of Duty and other war games, so of course I watched my dad play GTA IV. In fact, I think it's only second to TLOU when it comes to games I care about because it was a bonding experience between me and my dad. And yes my dad let his six year old daughter watch him play GTA IV, but the only conditions my parents gave me if I were to watch was to "not repeat anything you hear in the game."

[@bizlychannelYT]

I have a similar relationship with my dad. He is the one who got me into games in the first place with shit like oblivion and unreal tournament. This comment is making me feel like I should go visit him and bring my ps5 hahaha.

[@Mattyfootyy]

You were 3 when GTA IV came out? Fuck, I feel old😭

[@adamgeigerjr6995]

The whole GTA IV is honestly so upsetting to hear. It's still to this day above and beyond my favorite. The numerous highlights of the game were never mentioned & glossed over in your quick mention of the game. You focused so much on the driving & radio that you never mentioned the dozens of other unique or fun mechanics the game allows you to do or the missions that they get Niko into. The characters from Little Jacob to Packie are amazing. The mobster/mafia themes were on point for a Godfather/ Sopranos / GoodFellas generation. And the graphics at the time for the consoles they came out on had me jaw dropped about Times Square; definitely not disappointed or depressed. Niko's progression felt the most genuine out of all the titles so when you finally got hold of Playboys' penthouse or the Middle Park East place, you felt like you earned it & achieved something. Compare that to when Lester calls Franklin saying for "tax purposes" he was being gifted a mansion in the hills, just doesn't hit or feel nearly the same. Its those little decisions and moments that make GTA IV so damn unique, memorable & favorited by many.

[@WhatsUpFella]

I love GTA IV, but it is sort of refreshing to see this perspective. It’s been a decade of people pretending as if everyone loved that game immediately and didn’t act like V was an improvement. I love V as well for very different reasons, but it’s just nice to see someone actually articulate criticism that used to be more common. Everyone turned on V after that Crowbcat comparison video and all the bad business practices with GTA Online, but really 5 at its best is a great encapsulation of the series as a whole. Even a character like Trevor (who’s now more criticized) represents that rampage player mindset and distills them into a person. Every main character in the game kinda serves a different archetype or play style. 4 is like a gritty 70’s crime drama and that’s awesome, but 5 is like a 90’s Jerry Bruckheiner produced action movie mixed with a prestige HBO series….and that’s awesome too.

[@huellbabineaux7433]

Best comment on the whole gta 4 vs gta 5 argument by far

[@TheRastafarianStuff]

in retrospective, GTA V feels souless and hollow generally. also, most people who praise on V never even tried the storymode wich is the main point of a GTA game. just like the ones who hate IV never even tried and / or finished the story mode.

[@insertnamehere658]

​@@TheRastafarianStuff one of the dumbest ways of looking at things. 4 good, 5 bad. We get it, gta 5 fans are just dumb 12 year olds with no critical thinking while gta 4 fans are smart, mature intellectuals like you.

[@greenwizard7592]

⁠@@TheRastafarianStuffthat’s just not true. I’ve played through GTA 5 like 10 times at this point and I still love the game. The story just has a lot of charm. It has drama between characters, but it also has completely insane action. I’ve tried playing through GTA 4 four times, but I could only finish it once. The story is interesting, but the game itself isn’t entertaining. The missions are very repetitive and not unique at all. 4 kind of forgot the point of the GTA games, which is to have fun and become successful by committing crimes. It’s not fun and by the end you’ve lost more than you’ve gained. GTA 5 is not soulless, maybe you should go through the story again and really pay attention.

[@wingsofzero5732]

Yeah, that’s what drives me insane still that people hold GTA IV as this timeless masterpiece like it wasn’t absolutely shat on and criticised at launch for being a toned down, boring and sloppy execution of a GTA game, and the reception for it started to turn more positive after the release of TBOGT and GTA V. Hell, even Rockstar themselves knew that they had done so much wrong with IV. It sort of solidified IV as the ‘black sheep’ of the series in a lot of people’s eyes, eapecially when they came away unsatisfied from V and replayed IV. I’m personally not the biggest fan of IV for many reasons and find literally any other GTA game infinitely more fun and replayable. It is refreshing to have a content creator not dickride a demonstrably flawed game for nostalgia reasons.

[@jayivey7702]

The revisionist history on GTA V is crazy. 10 years ago when the game came out it was universally regarded as one of the best games ever. But because of Take Two and Rockstar's poor handling of the game in the past couple of years, people now all of the sudden want to say BS like GTA V wasn't a good game and that its not even a top 2 GTA game. When I know that when the game first game out litteraly everybody said it was the best game Rockstar ever created.

[@MrAdriaxe]

You're right. GTA V is the best one, easily. San Andreas with modern improvements is the only other S tier. I get bored with all the others now, knowing I could be playing those two instead.

[@MadWatcher]

GTA V does have its problem, but at the end of the day GTA V was still very impressive for what it is. I remember when it came out back in the 360 and PS3, and just how mind blowing the game was

[@merksmovies25]

Yeah I guess the joke is we got GTA V hate before GTA VI

[@youmakenosense7437]

The campaign also deserved hate in some aspects back when it came out honestly. Like all the downgrades from previous Rage Engine games, the rushed storyline, the poor map design, the lack of criminal side content, etc. If online didn't exist more people would have noticed all of these problems earlier.

[@Winabagel23]

I personally love GTA 2 and its arcadey campiness. It's strategy at breakneck speed. Progressing through the game by simply getting a high enough score/cash, getting score multipliers by completing several missions in a row without dying, getting more lives by completing rampages (Yes GTA 2 works on limited lives like Mario.) And getting/losing respect from gang factions by simply massacring them or their enemies in the street, to which they attack you on sight in their turf with more powerful weapons depending on how much they hate you, causing you to balance and strategize who hates you to what level in order to be able to complete missions on their turf easier. Its all ridiculous, but its ridiculously fun and charmingly to the point for me. Its also noticeably more challenging which is good because a lot of the later games become too easy once you've been familiar with the formula for decades.

I want to tell you a story that i hope you'll read. Back in the day when me and my sister were younger, around the time GTA 5 just came out. Me and my sister still played the 3D games on the PS2. She would play GTA 3 and Vice City, while I played Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories because my sister didn't like them. I spent so much time of my childhood playing Liberty City Stories, driving around and listening to Lips 106 and Head Radio. I never did much than the first few missions and used cheat codes to drive around Staunton Island. Recently I went back to actually beat the game and I found and old save, saved on the year 2012, before I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes that same year. I was 8 at the time. I hope you read this Bebop, if you do, thank you!

[@sheven18]

I live in New York City, and for the time of year that GTA-IV takes place (mid-September to late November), the tone makes so much sense. You get that mid-to-late fall haze-the days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder, there is less to do for fun, and soon you're going to be trapped in your studio apartment because it is going to be snowing out. I get it; you either came to New York in mid-spring to late summer when it's not so bad out.

Every mission starts with Niko complaining to some guy, than killing some other guy and then complaining again. And this game is supposedly underrated.

As a kid I really hated the driving in GTA IV but now that I'm into racing and sim games the physics have really grown on me as they are very realistic. The way cars lean and fight momentum is very satisfying to watch. while at the same time most cars have a suspension that is too soft, most cars feel a bit too heavy and turn pretty poorly. But still for 2008 this is mind-blowing stuff I and many others brushed aside how big of a technical achievement this was because it was too different from what we came to expect from games like GTA and I get it. Most people don't want very realistic physics in a game like GTA and you're opinions are valid. But I for one absolutely love it and felt engaged in a way no other GTA ever has while driving

Niko and Tommy are some of my favorite protagonists. Would be interesting if Rock Star ever has a story line that puts either of them at odds.

[@L3gend_G5]

The problem with people i see when they say they don’t like gta v, is that they want the story to be shoved in their faces, the want the story to be directly told to them(is what i am understanding from everyone who says don’t like the story and that the characters don’t seem to be understandable). But in gta v, to fully understand the game and it’s story, you actually have pay attention and piece things together with all the other things that are happening. You also have to find out some of the lore. When i first played i was very confused about what the story was, it didn’t seem straight forward. Then I found videos on gta v(I am a newer player)and actually started to understand the story. The way Rockstar weaves the characters is amazing. On the top, Trevor is shown to be a crazy psychopath, but on the inside he can be soft sometimes, he also the most loyal of the three. Speaking of three, all the three endings actually show the character arc’s ends. For example in ending A we see trevor is betrayed once again by michael, as he helps franklin, and if franklin doesn’t shoot trevor, then michael does. From this we see that in this ending michael didn’t change and franklin did what michael would’ve done. In ending B, we see franklin killing michael. In this ending we see michael had started to change, he got his life back together and his daughter was about to go to college. But then franklin came to kill michael as he followed in his footsteps and betrayed him, as michael did in prologue mission. In this ending we see michael bettering himself but ultimately dying to his friend who he treated like his son. A differencewe see in this ending is that in A michael helps franklin but in B trevor doesn’t, and lastly C. Ending C (which is canon) is the ending where they put aside their differences and past mistakes and know that it was all done in good intent. This ending shows michael growing as a person and trevor forgiving michael for betraying him. Franklin in this saves his friends and becomes his own personality I would say.(i need to replay ending C as i forgot what happens to franklin)

I just wanted protagonists I didn't hate. I hate Michael and Trevor and am just eh on Franklin.

I played GTA1 at a friend's house when I was 11 or 12... it was like nothing I'd ever experienced, the way it just dropped you into a city and let you go about your way, trying to achieve goals or simply cause chaos; we never even made it past Liberty City without using cheats. It's admittedly quite antiquated and hard to go back to. Seeing screenshots of a pre-9/11 GTA3 in some magazine was one of the things that sold me on the PS2, as I was hyped on the potential of what the series could be in a 3D, "next-gen" environment. The very first purchase on my Amazon account (which I convinced my mom to sign up for in late 2001) was a buy-2-get-1-free PRE-ORDER for GTA3, MGS2 and THPS3; they don't make deals like that anymore. I've played them all, but the last one I actually managed to finish was Vice City; to me, GTA3 is still the GOAT and everything that followed has been refined BLOAT. 3 strikes the perfect balance of where the series came from and what it's become. 4 I basically only remember because Sisters of Mercy was on the rock station... 5 just... *goes back to playing Red Dead Redemption*

I have played GTA V, but haven’t sadly played the others. I have seen videos of gameplay, and entire videos about the stories of the games. One of my favorite characters who isn’t important to the main story is the white drug addict lady in GTA IV. She isn’t my favorite character but her story drives the main theme in the game which is the grass isn’t greener on the other side. She came here from her loving home in a nice house to the big city hoping to hit big. Instead of getting the paradise she wanted she ends up as a hooker doing anything to get another hit. Niko gives her a new chance getting off drugs and gives her train tickets back to her home town. Her story is a reflection of Niko Bellic’s story not as extreme as his, but the promise of a better life instead being worse off than back home. Helping her also gives hope to the player that maybe Niko might be able to get out of this, and maybe move back home or just away from this place.

Respect for giving your honest opinions on GTA 4. GTA 4 has a very passionate fanbase on the internet, so it would be very easy to pander to them, but you instead just said it how you really felt. I definitely agree with most of your points about the game. I don’t think GTA 4 is a bad game, but it just doesn’t really work for me. It lacks fun. I personally thought the DLC was way better than the main game itself.

I don't know, I kinda love Roman. He's so goofy and funny... and the ending where he dies is really emotional. Along with Lester Crest and Yusuf Amir, he is one my favourite characters in the HD universe.

[@generallegath974]

GTA IV is my personal favorite but you've moved my opinion a bit when you pointed out the dreariness of the games. I actually somewhat like the driving physics -- though they were jarring at first, moving from GTA III to this -- but the city felt enormous, I loved the sense of progression you gained through doing the story, and I thought the story was far better than anything V or other games had to offer. That being said, I don't think they encapsulate the potential of a game based in NYC, which is, as you said, a grey concrete blob. I do really enjoy the use of interiors though, something I feel went by the wayside afterward as well as prior. Interiors, I will add, that were largely accessible without a loading screen and were actually part of the outside world, including in multiplayer. The missions are really repetitive is my main gripe, other than the dreariness.

Gta 4 will always be my favorite out of the bunch. Its just so good and fun with gta 5 coming in close

[@cntmntr3634]

GTA IV being put on the same tier than VCS feels soooo criminal, it's easily the most realistic GTA game in the sense that it portrays life in the criminal underworld as what it truly is, not glamorous, violent, gritty, brutal, Niko does not want to be a part of the criminal world but the criminals in Liberty City leave him no choice, he's forced to get ever more involved in it because if he doesn't ,he and Roman will get killed, he does not thirst for power, money or street cred, he just tries to survive . Liberty City looks "cool" and flashy on the outside but the game makes it very clear that the cool factor of the city is shallow and superficial, underneath the surface the place is full of evil, selfish, cruel, self-serving, manipulative husks of people whose personalities are only skin deep, their only real interest is to obtain power in any way they can, Liberty City reflects it in every corner, from the desaturated colours, gloomy atmosphere and pedestrian dialogue, Liberty City is a place where the only thing that truly matters is power and how you flaunt it, usually at others' expense, Liberty City is itself a character in GTA IV, it's something no GTA has been able to portray and i don't even think Rockstar will ever go back to having such a dark and tonally heavy game. Perhaps if what you're looking for is a more "gamey" and glossed over take on the world of crime, then sure, GTA IV probably won't be your cup of tea, but GTA IV has THE most grounded take on the bleakness and nihilism of criminal life, and for that alone it gets my vote as the best one, notwithstanding the plethora of technological advancements for its time and graphics that hold up to this day.

[@bryebaker3343]

GTA V is a game I play for a bit every few months, specifically online, even with no one to play with. Almost every time I do I have a good time tho. However GTA IV is by far my favorite. For 2 main reasons, the physics and the talk radio. The physics of bodies in gunfights and people that got hit by cars or objects that cars hit into them was crazy. Also the crash physics were fun and being launched out of the car was more common and survivable actually, which I enjoy. I think the radio shows made the atmosphere of driving around feel fun. The atmosphere was dark and crude and I think that actually does fit with New York in my experience visiting family there. That darkness mixed with the crazy stuff they'd say making me laugh just always got me. Liberty city stories on the psp was one of my favorite childhood games. I got the game from my uncle and I played it so much, over the course of like 5 or more years, that the disc stopped working. I had cheat codes memorized for over a dozen different things and the codes were like 7+ buttons each lol

I really liked how each GTA 5 protagonist represented different GTA characters, Franklin as the traditional MC up and comer, Michael as the MC at the end of the game with all the big house and bank account, and Trevor as the personification of the people who just play GTA to cause mayhem and chaos. And I always rationalized the death of Johnny as he was addicted to drugs and was a shell of himself

[@Jo-Wilbe-Dina]

Niko Bellic is still the Best GTA Protagonist in my honest opinion. I can understand why the story in some perspective like yours may not have perfectly narrated his Revenge Story overall because of his other goal of working for dangerous people for money to create a living for him and for Roman which kinda got in the way of his goal in finding Darko and deciding his fate as revenge for betraying him, but I still think the story was brilliant and just goes to show Niko has other priorities as well, but as long as it leads him to finding Darko which is why I think all the missions despite most missions having simple repetitive formats of *_go here and shoot people_* like the classic missions of the GTA Franchise to begin with since GTA 1, and ones that are entirely unique, has overall contributed to the progressing of the story well, it just takes some time is all. CJ was my childhood that I absolutely idolized, and maybe Tommy a little bit, but I've grown to love Niko as a person whom I wished I could simply be there to comfort him in his dark times and wished I could also be that one dumb cheerful femboy twink friend for him that he needs to cheer him up in his moments of guilt, depression, and trauma, kind of like Roman or Katie. _Speaking of _*_Roman,_* I still like Roman despite him making dumb decisions due to his gambling addiction, I never considered him to be annoying, not even his worst phone call timings which is just funny stuff, but rather just straight up silly as Brucie which I'd argue are by far the funniest side characters in the game next to Little Jacob simply because of his gibberish accent that even Niko used to find trouble trying to understand him, but still, nothing beats Niko's Sarcasm. For a really dark game, GTA IV sure has the best sense of humor in the franchise, probably better than San Andreas but that's just me, because IV's humor isn't satire most of the time if I recall correctly, but simply expresses the characters' personality which are absolutely great and well-written, but then again, that could also be said for the other GTA games. To start with, Niko came to a new land seeking for a new beginning, peace, as well as a redemption to try and escape his sinister past which he had a lot of trauma and guilt for where he wanted to fight in a war back when he was young which he then mentioned in a dialogue that he was stupid now that he has suffered the consequences through experiencing his friends and fellow soldiers' deaths, betrayal, violence, and pain, lots and lots of insufferable pain, and as a result, he became a broken man who had _"killed people, smuggled people, and sold people,"_ dumb things he did where got involved with some idiots after the war. He's basically the GTA Kratos; reaching the shores of a new land now as an old and wiser yet still a very grumpy man, but unlike Kratos who had killed Zeus for betraying him and thus ending his quest for Vengeance, Niko's search for his former childhood friend who betrayed him and his friends by setting him up for $1000 has only just begun. But to think, this all began because of Goran, a friend that Darko and Niko shared, who betrayed Darko first, thus turning him vengeful, thus killing Goran and his allies by betraying the whole gang with Niko included, and thus turning HIM vengeful, thinking all of his friends were innocent. That's GTA IV's backstory for ya. *Betrayal begets Betrayal.* There's more where that came from, like Niko seeing _50 children sitting in a row against the church wall with each of their _*_throats cut and their hands chopped off._* Don't forget this story comes from a Driving Game.
