    Funny how GTA4 was shit on by the community back then because it didnt have a huge map and many different vehicles like San Andreas.. I was in love with this game. Every gun fight, chase scene felt real and full of tension, the missions were mostly down to earth too, the physics mechanics of the game was never seen in a GTA game before and after. The city was truly alive and interesting to explore. I would even risk to say that it is my favorite GTA game, although i played a shitton of hours with both SA and V.

      The cars were good and the map was big enough, but there was not so much new in the map compared SA or Vice City stories where you could have a crime empire. It felt kinda like the map in Mafia 2, where it is a big nice looking site, but barely anything to do there. Except mundane things like bowling, comedy clubs and shooting pigeons.
      Of course you can make your own fun and for that IV is great and online was fun back in the day.
      It went from fun and wacky in the earlier games to a more dark, serious and story-focused game. I think a lot of people didn't like trading gameplay for story, simple as that. GTA IV is still a good game.

      GTA 4 was my first big single player game after growing up kinda sheltered. I was so absolutely gobsmacked by it.

All the while thinking, "My god, how does a game like this exist?!"

    The tolerance that the NPCs have to being shot is actually quite realistic. There's plenty of cases of people taking many rounds, such as a whole magazine of 9mm, and continuing on for a while without dropping. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug, and unless someone is hit in the heart or central nervous system, if they're spiking with the stuff they're probably going to just eat it; they won't feel the shock, and blood loss takes a while to take hold.

If he didn’t do it per se, maybe he was part of the group that did do it, he saw the aftermath of what his comrades or even business partners did and is guilty by association.
      I’m not saying definitively that he did it, I’m saying MAYBE he did. We’re never given a clear cut answer, only clues based on what he does reveal about his past (he was a veteran of the Yugoslavian war, which was known for horrific human atrocities). I think it’s left intentionally ambiguous.
      Plus it’s just a powerful line.

      when he says "you realize the creature that could do this doesnt have a soul" i always thought he meant humans in general. like he saw and did so many atrocious things during his time as a soldier that his experiences completely eliminated any spiritual beliefs he may have had. and he sees every human, including himself, as an animal capable of the most depraved acts

    Me when this game came out: "Haha GTA 4 is funny and you can run over people and ragdoll on a glitchy swingset."
    Me now, 12 years later: "GTA 4 tells a tragic story of the Bosnian War of 1992-1995, the illusion of the American Dream, and how life in the criminal underworld can leave you heartbroken without family and friends."
    I actually wish my parents had stopped me from playing some 18+ games when I was younger. Because many games back then had amazing storylines that I was too young, uneducated and immature to fully appreciate.

    Basically Claude grabs a UPS truck, and after kicking out the black driver, he decides to spit on him. There was speculation if this was racially motivated. They later removed it.
    IIRC the truck was carrying captured Buddhists in the back, which were Claude's friends so that would explain it though.

    I just love this game. Yes, it's probably because of nostalgia, as it is the first GTA game I had, but somehow the whole story really grabbed my attention. I'm really obsessed with the 2000s and this game perfectly conveys the feel in my opinion. There's simply something in the game that gave me such a strong emotional connection to it that I cannot even describe it. I just love it, but it's like a sad kind of love, or idk, it's really hard to explain it. For some reason I feel like I'm so intertwined with certain characters in the game, even tho they are fictional (I tend to do this a lot for some reason, when a book or maybe a movie, in this case, a game, has a good story that really grabs me I really get sad that the characters aren't real and stuff) so yea maybe it is because of my weirdness, but this game will always have a special place in my heart.

    "This is not how cars work" Maybe it's not 100% realistic, but it's so much better than any other GTA car physics. Best game car physics to utilize with a keyboard of it's time, and still holds up so good only dedicated racing/simulation games might have better ones.
    Car physics were a dealbreaker with GTA 5 for me, I just can't drive in that game, every car feels mostly the same and grips WAAAYYY too much, feels like driving on traintracks, even GTA SA did it better than 5
