Sienna, the weird camera angles (the excessive zoom on the cutscenes) and the characters flickering as they move happen because of the very high framerate, you have to limit it to 30-35 FPS (there are simple mods that do just that). Either that or get the Xbox version, there are less bugs in it. Just please, don't let these small flaws drive you away from this game, it is amazing!
Yeah pretty much a common problem with playing older games from this era on PC at framerates the games were not designed for. Remember how in Far Cry 2 npc's would Shake around if you played at a high framerate.
I've seen playthroughs where the guy just capped the FPS at 60 and played it without any bugs, so I don't know. I think it depends on the game version as well. As a modder myself, I know there is an older version where there aren't many bugs that runs a lot smoother as well, but then in later updates they just screwed the game back up.
I used to get annoyed with the dull colors but now I get that it really set the tone for the atmosphere and the game itself. Doesn't bother me anymore. I can actually appreciate it it more now than I did back then... 🤷♂️
@@ari_a2764nah it's definitely 2008. Did a quick Google search to confirm, but I'm almost certain all numbered GTA games is satire based on the time period it comes out, but the older subtitled games are set in different time periods (SA - 90s, VC - 70s, etc).
One thing: when you reach your destination before the dialogue ends, you miss the rest of the conversation. I suggest you to wait for it to finish before getting to the marker so you don't miss anything :)
I consider the game's driving so underrated. I personally loved how heavy the car felt, it was like an extra skill to develop to where if you were good at driving you were a veteran at the game.
Still my favorite GTA game, and one of my favorite games of all time. Everything about it is just perfect. The music, atmosphere, vibe and story. It's challenging but not too difficult once you wrap your head around how it works. The story is more dark and mysterious compared to other GTA games, and that's what I love about it.
Very nice to see you playing GTA IV Sienna! Rockstar makes great games and IV is one of them!! Best story and in my opinion and it has the best physics. You also get the traditional map and weapon wheel! We shall go bowling soon cousin!!!!!
The fact that Niko and Roman didn't have a bigger part in Grand theft Auto 5 is one of the most disappointed things they could have left out only about once or twice he was mentioned in that game but we all know who the true OG's are Niko, Roman and CJ. GTA IV also had two of the greatest endings in my opinion Deal and Revenge
Loved the first part sienna. I hope you dont experience any more crashes or bugs. They are so annoying. Hope youll enjoy this game, i found the driving so difficult lol good luck
Yea so many young kids use Americanisms in their language nowadays, doesn't matter where they're from. English, Irish, Aussie, Kiwi, whatever. The Internet is turning everyone into Americans.
Yeah, the cutscene zoom is due to the game being ran at a high framerate as the game was only meant to run at 30 FPS, but turning it down to 30 FPS should definitely help. Really looking forward to see you do this Let's Play though! Always enjoy your content!
This is awesome! I found you from discovering your Red Dead Redemption 2 playthrough a couple of weeks ago! Another game I get to revisit while you play and experience it for the first time. Love your content!
I loved how compacted Liberty City felt from the items on the street to the trash, Large amount of buildings you can enter it was very immersive feeling. The npc's are great, physics are better than GTA V which had to cut down on a few things so they could focus on other aspects like having a larger world. Love the small details as well from cops wearing waterproof hats and coats when it's raining to being able to pick up items off the ground to use as weapons. Still love GTA V but I hope GTA VI bring these back, RDR2 mixed with GTA IV and GTA V with new improvements is what we need with GTA VI. And 100% recommand using a controller for driving, basic movement, and hand to hand combat. The GTA games have never been great on Mouse and Keyboard.
@dudeguyr Awful and awkward movement, Awful flight controls, Hand to hand combat is off and the button layout is just plain awkward. Only benefit from mouse and keyboard is the gunplay but everything else is just a mess. RDR2 funny enough I found to be better on Mouse and Keyboard same with Max Payne 3 but GTA IV is just plain awful on Mouse and Keyboard.
@sahirdamani1264 Yeah I always use to have that setting (vehicle density) on 75 as if it gets higher the game will unfortunately start glitching out, I play on PC
@dudeguyr I agree on that, 3D era games played really well on mouse and keyboard. Still never liked the flight controls though lol never could get used to them in any gta game.
Going down the stairs with your side first is like a tactical habit. Keeping your firearm ready and accurate is easier going down on your side first. Joel most likely learned through surviving and Niko learned it most likely in the Navy. I do the same thing cause i did some building clearing training in college haha
I subscribed to you because when I was playing through RDR2 I saw some of your videos got hooked up and really liked your way of living these games. GTA4 is a game many people should play again just to see how much love rockstar has for their characters.
The camera angles are weird during cutscenes, because the game was made back when almost everyone had a 4:3 TV and the PS3 and Xbox 360 supported both 4:3 and 16:9 resolutions. Some people had 16:9, but it wasn't the standard yet.
I read Steam has a zooming problem so I only play GTA 4 on the X-Box 360. It’s weird people confuse Niko with Johnny. Johnny was the one who was stomped on by Trevor. I never understood why Johnny kept dating Ashley when she never changed her ways. I’m surprised how different Ashley looks in GTA 5 though compared to GTA 4.
this bring back memories. i played this game from its released. the GPS rare dingdong there, i miss that but not the new radio music. i will definitely watch your whole series of this.
Driving is already hard enough in GTA IV but Sienna is making it appear 10x more difficult 😂🤣. Those random zooms you are getting in cutscenes are bugs. They are not normal.
Somewhat controversial statment given that San Andreas and 5 exist but.. GTA4 is my favorite GTA game and if you ask me it's the best in the series don't @ me I'll gladly fight you over it
@@felixslayer1583unfortunately some ppl nowadays tend to not like it.... I don't know why... maybe because it's dark and all but hey i agree too...this is the best in series
I started playing gta 4 a few days ago, since years ago my computer was quite weak, the game is definitely very good, even looking at comparisons with the five, how things are done in the four, the decision making in some missions, the story itself and the scenario . I definitely recommend :) I will follow your videos with interest.
Awesome you're finally playing it! I have been on and off for the last year but seeing you at it makes me want to get back to it. It's actually my favorite next to Vice City 😊👌
51:30 my first target would be that guy hitting roman.. the other guy is keeping you occupied as a distraction so that his buddy can continuously give a beating at him.
I played it on Xbox due to the terrible optimization and bugs on PC. Loved it. Hope you enjoy it Sianna. If I’m not wrong you can play it on your Series S at 60 fps.
Something that you notice immediately is the more realistic handling of vehicles and also a lot better physics as well, these are the things that i really didn't like in GTA V especially motorcycles are horrible in GTA V. Driving with keyboard controls is not so nice but shooting is way better, i personally prefer to use a controller when playing GTA games
Lol no way my boy Niko would let Trevor step on his face. Nah, that was Johnny that Trevor had to wipe off his boots. Johnny Klebitz - the protagonist from The Lost and Damned DLC.
When I played this for a first time it was so fun to hear clear Russian voices on the streets with no accents. If one day, Sienna, you would like to play something in GTA style you can try True Crime NY, it is awesome too.
Sienna make sure limit the games frame rate to 60fps otherwise you will get a lot of glitches. Also this game has 2 endings so make sure you rock 2 save files.
not even gonna lie bro, i low key listen to the load screen sound track/theme xD. btw gg fam, its a great game! and dont be self conscious feeling the need to explain yourself, you look awesome regardless bud!
It's better to use a controller. Advice when bowling. Move over to the left 2 times and flick the right analog stick in a straight line to get strikes just about every time.
GTA v is more lighthearted and a bit of a parody of the current events during the time it was released in 2013. GTA iv was more gritty and dark and a serious story

@@CaptainAmercia I play San Andreas a lot, and if the framerate is too high, you can't move while aiming a gun and the cars don't reverse LOL
Also I'm sure there are mods that allow you to play at higher fps. There have to be after all those years.
I've seen playthroughs where the guy just capped the FPS at 60 and played it without any bugs, so I don't know. I think it depends on the game version as well. As a modder myself, I know there is an older version where there aren't many bugs that runs a lot smoother as well, but then in later updates they just screwed the game back up.
@@Pir-oYeah, Proper Fixes, Console Visual Fix and DXVK ( these are essential to get an better performance and Fixed Visuals for the game )
This is the best game in the series. So dark, mysterious, and 100% has the best atmosphere.
Too much dark ☠
I used to get annoyed with the dull colors but now I get that it really set the tone for the atmosphere and the game itself. Doesn't bother me anymore. I can actually appreciate it it more now than I did back then... 🤷♂️
Nothin can beat San andreas
PERIOD. 100% wish we had the same GTA like that Story Wise and Carhandling wise
My favorite is GTA V but yes, GTA IV is amazing, the environment gets you in the mood 😁
GTA IV is definitely in my top 5 games. The story is incredible and full of well made and complex characters
This is set in 2008. Niko and Roman are Serbian. The war Niko talks about were the Yugoslav wars in the 90s.
Its set in the early 2000s late not 2008

I'm hoping she'll notice that after playing both rdr and rdr2 it's common in all 3. Lol gotta ride slow to get the d 😂
you dont miss anything tho
The theme song to GTA IV has always been my favorite out of any of them
san andreas aswell
To this day I hum the gta 4 theme in my head like once a week lmao
I consider the game's driving so underrated. I personally loved how heavy the car felt, it was like an extra skill to develop to where if you were good at driving you were a veteran at the game.
I love how you didn't catch on to the gps girl voice go "Bing Bong!" at 49:03 instead of the actual gps sound. I've always loved that bing bong. Lmao.
This game is masterpiece. It will be a good series
I cannot wait for the FAMOUS Line - NIko it's Roman let's go bowling :)
Still my favorite GTA game, and one of my favorite games of all time. Everything about it is just perfect. The music, atmosphere, vibe and story. It's challenging but not too difficult once you wrap your head around how it works. The story is more dark and mysterious compared to other GTA games, and that's what I love about it.
100% the best GTA I've ever played. Ruthless.
So nice seeing someone play GTA4 for the first time, a timeless classic!
Game is set in the early to mid 00's. The wars in the former Yugoslavia are still fresh in the minds of the people who fought in them like Niko
44:14 " I Feel like she is hiding something " , You have good instincts girl.

A British accent with millennial American quips. I’ve seen it all. Nico is one of the best characters in GTA
Did you say Niko has a British accent? Or were you talking about Sienna lol

Going down the stairs with your side first is like a tactical habit. Keeping your firearm ready and accurate is easier going down on your side first. Joel most likely learned through surviving and Niko learned it most likely in the Navy. I do the same thing cause i did some building clearing training in college haha
this game right here , is unforgettable , the story , characters ,even the side characters are all just so unforgettable
greatest game in the series and one of my all time favourite games period. Finish it once a year.

a certified hood classic
I read Steam has a zooming problem so I only play GTA 4 on the X-Box 360.
It’s weird people confuse Niko with Johnny.
Johnny was the one who was stomped on by Trevor.
I never understood why Johnny kept dating Ashley when she never changed her ways.
I’m surprised how different Ashley looks in GTA 5 though compared to GTA 4.
My God, this brings back childhood memories... good times never come back. Greetings from Brazil.

that was the best gta iv gameplay. loved it.
gta iv is one of a kind
no trevor didnt stomp on niko bellic that was johnny klibitz you play as johnny in lost and damn
İ love Niko's accent😂 İ played only gta 5, but i would love to try gta 4 if a had ps3/xbox360. İ like the dark, grey atmosphere of Liberty City.
Press "X" to turn off the radio. U can also use taxi to travel far distances in short time
You can turn off the voice for the GPS in the settings.
A masterpiece
Soundtrack is 🔥
Here for it 😎
Just left the cousin to get beaten up by goons to go on a date and says "Am I really sorry?". LEVELS!

GTA v is more lighthearted and a bit of a parody of the current events during the time it was released in 2013. GTA iv was more gritty and dark and a serious story
gta 4 was still a parody tho, but ye a darker tone
One of my personal favorites
lol 7:16 Imagine when not paying attention where if that Police car came in way too soon then accidently rams right for the cop.
Plotwise he's trying to get away from his violent past in eastern europe but finds a violent present in America
16:06 The way she knew it right away 😂
Such great game GTA4 is closer to the Red dead games then other GTA games in terms of story.
Yes they have more serious tone and story
is the darkest game of the all series
