    GTA San andreas and GTA 5 are way better because their maps are very huge and have different landscapes like Forests, Desserts, Mountains, Highways etc.

      I love countryside cruising! But they wanted to have countryside in GTA IV, only there were way too many limitations. I feel they should've just picked another location to do, like Carcer City. I still love GTA IV, but there are things that make it unplayable for me now, and they'll likely never do remakes.

    The thing I hate most wasn't mentioned at all: the spam calls. Like, let me go to bed, Roman, it's three in the freaking morning, and I don't wanna go to Cluckin' Bell! 😤 That's what makes this game unplayable for me. It's literally constant, and if you refuse, it affects friendships. One time I called Dwayne, and he was mad at me for ignoring him, I kid you not. He was upset I took the friendship for granted, and refused to hang out with me. And oddly, Michelle did the same once. I went ahead and killed the run. Don't know if my disc is bugging out because it's so old, but the game needs a whole remake. I'm thinking that because the story is perfect as it is, they should just leave that alone and redo the game, add the lines by having actors lip sync them, and there you have it. As if this isn't an essay already, I have to address what was mentioned.
    The filter: I hated the gray, dreary filter when I was younger, but I love it now. Colors are greatly affected, yes, such as when it's actually sunny, certain hues look weird, like the mustard sports coat from Perseus. It looks creamy instead of mustard. I think it does reflect Niko's outlook and the game's tone, because notice how this filter is also used in crime dramas and dramas in general. Lighting is very important to the tone of the film, show, game, etc. Comedies usually have bright lighting due to the upbeat tone. I'm a huge fan of noir, but I fear everything that makes art great will die because audiences love certain tones now.
    Driving physics: I loved them for the most part. It's just something you have to grin and bear. What I do hate is that powerboats handle like a freaking tank. And the APC was so tricky for me to drive. Even with my finger dead on the accelerate button, its acceleration was still lousy.
    Mission structure: I loved it for the most part. The middle of the game does get repetitive, especially when it comes to Ray's and Francis' missions. I hate both of their mission strands, except the iconic museum deal. Francis just has us do evil crap to save his own ass. He's deluded and thinks it's right just because he's a cop.
    Activities: I mostly disagree, because the activities are top-notch. A bunch of immersion has been added to GTA IV, and although it needs some of what San Andreas offered, can you imagine different hairstyles being available for Niko? Him with long hair would be terrifying.
    Vehicles: They obviously didn't make planes drivable because they know their player base loves edgy humor and ways to entertain themselves, and that someone would've definitely used a plane for malicious purposes. So them not allowing planes to be flown saved them a huge controversy, as the game unfortunately already had enough complaints. What's aggravating is that they've added all sorts of '80s, '90s, and 2000s vehicles to GTA Online. The Asterope GZ is one of my favorite Camry models in real life, and it and every other older vehicle in GTA Online needs to be in a remake to add that variety. Bicycles as well, because they're mentioned to exist on Radio Broker, and the fact you don't see hipster NPCs, and NPCs in general, riding them kills the immersion.
    Map: Needs a more accurate NYC depiction. Many say it is accurate except for everything being clumped together, but boroughs are missing, a Rikers Island is missing, and they wanted a countryside originally. This is why a remake is needed.
    In conclusion, this game is an imperfect work of art. I loved the realism, while GTA V felt very exaggerated in some of its gameplay. You can't eat in GTA V, friend activities are very limited, and the hand-to-hand combat is downgraded in terms of how weak NPCs are and the fighting moves.
    Wow... I don't blame anyone for not wanting to read this. This kind of review is best in video form. Maybe I'll remember it and do so if I ever make videos.

    For me, what players hate about GTA IV is that the game won't allow you to run away from the police once the police bust you by car. Once Niko stands up after he gets out of the car, the game won't allow you to break away from the police unlike when the police bust you on foot at a one star wanted level.

      What are those "most important mechanics" as GTA IV is mechanically the strongest game in the series. GTA V ditched pretty much all advancements in that area, severely downgrading them and or making them plain bad.

    • @GenkiTheGod

      I'll squash the argument by saying a perfect video game in general will be a mix of RDR2, Saints Row 2, Watch Dogs, San Andreas, and GTA IV. RDR2's features are what blew all the other open world games out of the water. It alone makes a nigh-perfect game. It brought back cabaret and shows in general, which I loved in GTA IV.

    If felt so depressing the first time (maybe just the earlier versions, but I remeber everything being brown, gray and cloudy), limited weapons and vehicles, that weight on the characters all the newer Rockstar games have and no countryside, even if San Andreas looked worse, it still has probablu the best map in the series (replayed it last week, loved it). Not to mention that the PC port was horrible took me years to get a PC strong enough to play it properly. And it still has a lot of weirdness when it comes to graphics.
    But credit where it's due, it's an excellent game. Took me 4 playthrough and many years to appreciate it but now it's my favorite next to San Andreas. Compared to this, GTA V was the best thing ever on my first playthrough, absolute perfection. But nothing to do after that, and couldn't get through my 2nd playthrough no matter how I tired.

    I love IV, and the lack of map diversity is wrong.
    Yes, it's all an urban environment, but if you look at the humongous map of V and how poorly that's been utilized, it's not a problem, because all 4 islands have a distinct feel to it. And that urban environment is also gray, so you get that. That's also why you don't have airplanes; the map is too dense (not small) to get airplanes. A helicopter is fast enough.
    The driving is good, because there's a distinct feel between the European and Asian cars and the American land boats wobbling about. But you have to get that difference. So the lack of diversity of vehicles isn't true, unless you only take yank tanks.
    And the lack of checkpoints? Nor III, nor VC, nor SA had it too, so....
    The only thing I give you is the shit port it was in the beginning, but since updating games has become common, every pc port of every game has been iffy at best at launch.

      GTA V's physics are more realistic than GTA IV's, I'm sorry to say, but it's a false belief that people have had for years, just because the physics are over the top and fun in GTA IV doesn't make it realistic, because in no way do you come out shot 1000 meters after crashing on a motorcycle, nor are the robotic movements of the npcs, the only realistic thing about GTA IV is its driving, but given the context of GTA, it is terrible.
      In GTA V you have physical variables such as water pressure, air friction, the wind that affects aircraft, and temperature.
      In GTA IV you can't even hit walls when you're running, because Niko doesn't stop, he just keeps running.
      Furthermore, GTA V is better than GTA IV in most things, the only thing GTA IV was better in was its story and expansions, years ago I would have said that it even has better Lore than GTA V, but GTA Online is canonical and expands GTA V and Los Santos lore, so....
