    One of the reasons why I love GTA IV and it's original graphics so much is because It's like a time capsule of 2000's New York. The last time I visited New York was in late 2000's so I'll always remember NYC looking like that.

    • @amartyapandit

      GTA IV made me fall in love with the metropolis of nyc there was no game with this vibe. Of feeling surrounded by strangers who are somehow familiar, the roaming part, the characters and friends that niko had, they'll never have an era like 2008 again sadly.
      I genuinely dislike how the GTA IV theme is being used so frequently on reels and tiktoks these days. These cheap videos don't really deserve an expensive song put in them it's a masterpiece they're borrowing it's credibility

    • @twoDie4
      @twoDie4 Рік тому +32

      ​​​@@amartyapanditThis. The Chad memes with the GTA 4 theme in the background missed the message it was trying to bring. Niko wasn't Chad Thundercock, he was just a guy who picked up a particular set of skills. The skills that were necessary at the time to survive in the condition that he was presented in, he's human just like all of us, he did what he had to do to survive, things that he never wanted to do in the first place but had no choice.
      He tries to leave that life behind in Yugoslavia but his past follows him wherever he goes, hurting those he loves in the process. Everyday he's fighting for the "American Dream" but it's all bullshit and Niko at the end of the game realizes this. And that's what makes him my favorite GTA protagonist.

      In the pc version, in the graphics setting there is an option called vehicle density. This allows you to set how many npc cars spawn in traffic. However, you should be careful as increasing the vehicle density can negatively impact FPS and PC performance.
      GTA V has this feature too in the pc version but it is called population density in that game.

    The first time I went to NYC was back in the late 2000s and I started playing GTA 4 around 2011, and to me the game captured the city perfectly. I occasionally go to the city every once in a while these days, but last year I actually spent an entire day there for the first time in a while and it just felt so different than it used to be.

Fragments came to promising pieces. That was how life should be. IV did a great job putting together an immersive snow globe where we can come back from time to time.
