So I Played GTA IV for the First Time...

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

I waited 15 years to play GTA IV…and it was a masterpiece that doesn’t get talked about enough. Thumbnail made by @refraynn

Dude GTA IV was GTA V before GTA V

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

😂 but why does my guy love bowling so much

[@danfarmer3019]

My favourite GTA. Its the one that felt the most gritty to me.

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

Definitely seems to be over shadowed by GTA V but not talked about enough

[@Moflight23]

GTA IV was perfect. V in comparison feels way too lighthearted

[@JinWBO]

Really happy that you got to play this game, and I'm glad to still see more people give this game more love! I think GTA IV is great, the atmosphere, physics and narrative is fantastic! Even with the more "realistic" direction, it's still super fun to play and go on rampages. I also know exactly how you feel when you mentioned you tend to have a hard time playing older games of a franchise, I had a harder time adjusting to the older 3D GTA games at first (especially 3 or VC), as GTA IV was my first one, and GTA V was my second.

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

The fact that I was able to jump into this game from 15 years ago and have no problem adapting and getting through it just shows what a great job Rockstar did with GTA IV. It's a shame that it gets overshadowed by GTA V because this game is a gem

[@dwightlootcooks]

The 2nd playthrough making all different decisions was one of my favorite parts about this game and the dlc lives up to the main

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

You’re actually the second person to mention the dlc. Might play it and do a video on it in the future!

[@bigbird908]

God, I want this game on current gen. Would love to platinum it... Honestly, this is a top 10 for me. Adore Niko and the moments he contemplates his actions... Rockstar just knows how to lean into faulty characters.. Marston, Trevor, and Morgan are just phenoms.

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

I love Niko, glad I got to live through him for a bit. I’d love a remaster but not sure how that would go after the trilogy remaster. I played like 3 hours of San Andreas since it was on gamepass and it was so poorly executed on. Did not do the original justice

[@donqon]

The physics and lack of interiors makes me go back to IV all the time. Gunfights are so visceral with shooting people and watching their bodies react accordingly. Running through apartment buildings, shooting at cops, jumping on catwalks and down other buildings, the world of IV is so much better. In V, NPCs die so fast, and gun fights feel more fake.

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

Yeah I agree with that, they did so much with the technology available back in 2008

[@leorickt.9604]

I do a playthrough of GTA4 like every two years. It has probably the best story of any videogame.

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

It’s definitely a game I’ll be coming back to in the future

[@MistaVidz]

Love the little skits you did lol

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

Thanks bro! I moved into the new house and got a green screen to try to up the content a bit. Hopefully it pays off lol

[@MistaVidz]

@@Rehabz4Quitterz So far I'd say it is!

[@madhunter6420]

why is it all of a sudden many ppl started playing gta 4, enjoying its story and same for gta 5? smh

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

I would assume it's fueled by the recent announcement for GTA 6. People are either revisiting the games they loved when they came out in anticipation, or in my case checking it out for the first time. Personally for me, I have a series on the channel of going back and playing old critically acclaimed games for the first time and GTA IV was suggested to me

[@Dweezy30]

It’s actually a great game, probably more immersive than gta v in a sense. If they bring back relationships, activities from 4, and businesses from 5, 6 will be amazing

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

I feel like so much time has passed since 5 that 6 is going to be insane. So much advancement in video game technology since 2013 and I feel like Rockstar is the type of studio to take advantage of that to the fullest

[@Dweezy30]

@@Rehabz4Quitterz and not to forget what they did with rdr2 as well, they definitely have all the tools to make it amazing

[@Dweezy30]

@@Rehabz4Quitterz I just hope they don’t fall again to the online bs and just focus on making great content for story & online.. maybe some other games aswell 😂 I miss the other rockstar games

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

@@Dweezy30 yeah unfortunately they’re a public company so they’re perverts for share price. Still waiting on that GTA V story dlc…. I’m sure the new GTA online will be the biggest thing in gaming, but I think they’ll still make sure the single player story is great

[@Manifoldrock760]

I think its the world that makes it feel so real and small stuff that you dont consciously notice but still makes it feel real. If you walk around LC you will see workers fixing broken light posts, people running for cover from rain and using newspapers to try and shelter themselves. Its the small details for me.

You said "Roman's real reason for coming to America" instead of "Niko's reason for coming to America"

Damn caught me red handed. I always have at least one screw up like that

@@Rehabz4Quitterz It's all good just thought you would want to know about it

[@francskgp]

Hopefully you played with mods that fix and patch the horrible pc port

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

Unfortunately I did not. It was a literal disaster trying to pull myself into the helicopter on the last mission

[@youmakenosense7437]

I'm sorry, but how can GTA V be better in every single way if most core gameplay aspects got dumbed down if not downgraded? The melee combat, guns, police behaviour, physics, interiors, movement/climbing, etc, etc.

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

Well I understand it’s objective and people prefer IV over V. I personally connected with Niko way more than the trio of protagonists in GTA V. But you can’t just pretend they didn’t make strides in gameplay. The way the mission structure has you doing a bunch of small tasks to prepare to an epic heist is leagues above GTA IV imo. I think GTA IV tried it a little, but V built upon IV and made something really special. Not to mention the driving AI in IV is horrific. The amount of times people change lanes right in front of you to make you crash makes it seem purposeful. I can see why you like IV better than V, and I’m not arguing that IV did some things better. But it seems ridiculous to ignore the parts that rockstar did much better

[@heretics_archive]

GTA IV is my favorite grand theft auto game there’s so many small things missing from V that made it inferior in my eyes the dumbed down euphoria engine with characters just falling over no matter how slow you run into them in a car in IV they’ll try to keep themselves on their feet and even grab the hood of your car if you slowly bump into them and the fact you can pick objects like bricks coffee cups soda cans and my personal favorite pool balls up and chuck them at people I once lost a game of pool to Kate and threw a pool ball at her head and she fell over and was injured and it was hilarious small moments like that just don’t exist in V unfortunately

[@Rehabz4Quitterz]

lol that’s hilarious with the pool ball. I was honestly so impressed with how the good the game was. The realism they were able to pull off in the open world 15 years ago is unmatched
