Charlie X I guess you can say that but GTA 4 was just so lifeless and there was nothing to do along with the hand full of cars and 2 helicopters to drive.
isaiah nguyen lifeless no, in my opinion wasn't lifeless, the city was alive, you could find people making all kind of things, even hobos asking you for a dollar. I agree with you about the fact that there is not plenty to do with the cars, bikes... or too many clothes.
Ak47 feels more real could be a little less but it’s gives the cars a actual feeling like in a heavy car better slow down on the turn vs gta 5 nothing matters
@Phoenixx ayy were 11 years apart. Born 1998. I got this game on my 13th bday. I also played liberty city stories on the PSP. Along with GTA 3/vice city for the original Xbox. Also GTA 4 Episodes from liberty city.
@@flint9889 lol I was born in 2003 I think I was around 5 or 6 when the game came out I used to go to my cousins house to play this Time flies by so fast :(
@Phoenixx Wow buddy! You're definitely playing much better games than your mates. Did you know 'Command and Conquer Remastered Collection' released last month? I was born an year after it was released and now they've remastered it for the new generation. I promise you won't be disappointed with this RTS game, give it a try. ^_~
Blake Does Gaming Nice try Vice City its also nice, maybe it was back at the time , maybe today its not so fun anymore, GTA 5 its good but i was expecting much better i have to say
As for someone who's played and beat both gta iv and gta v I felt the fourth one just had a way better story and I loves liberty city and the amazing sound track don't get me wrong gta v was fun and has an awesome world, soundtrack animals ( which I personally really liked) and the amazing detail to graphics that rockstar is very known for but it seriously lacked in the characters I felt they didn't have the impact that nicko or roman, and little Jacob made and also honestly gta v doesn't really have too many options to customize your vehicles when compared to saints row2 and there really wasn't many clothing options if your just playing as one character and don't want to switch and last but not least I reaaaallly hate that rockstar tried forcing us to download an app for your phone to train chops when it could of easily been implanted in the game
Imagine this. GTA IV with RDRII graphics, with a more modern and detailed NYC and with domestic and wild animals. That'd be the best game ever, even better than GTA V.
Then they'd have to create the New York (Liberty) state like Rockstar had it originally in mind. It would work out very well for sure; hopefully in a future Liberty City setting. I believe GTA IV's story benefitted much from the exodus of East Germans/Yugoslavia War context, and to create something like that in current political scenario is very difficult. Rockstar pulled off something which couldn't fit in any other post-Arab Spring world and it did very successfully.
GTA 4 was such a rich game. I had a lot of fun and made so much friends!😂😭❤️, i think it's way better of GTA5 because the map is more beautiful and the mods too. but nostalgia plays part too
Patrick Richter That and because you were able to switch between 3 characters I felt like they didn't have enough time to give a good background to each character.
Nathaniel Levesque GTA 5 Has better and newer gameplay mechanics but GTA 4 Had more interesting characters and a more interesting story line and way more missions then GTA 5
***** Are you serious? A character with no background is boring as hell. Are you easily satisfied by graphics that you don't care about the emotions and motives behind a character.
People that did not play this game when it came out, don`t understand how truly perfect this game was. The songs, the story, the online.... If there was a way to go back in time, I would.
The physics in 4 are way beyond than what many games today put out. Even to this day top end processors have difficulty maintaining its complex physics model. This is the reason why vehicle handling became flat, almost like there's no suspension. Same with character models who react less to your contact. In addition car damage was severely reduced and object contact movement was also lessened. A lot of downgrades. GTA4 after san andreas was really a next gen game. Moving in the world was so griddy and realistic In addition to this realism the dark and depressing atmosphere of what daily life in New York is is absolutely shocking, and this comes from someone who lived in NY for almost 20 years. It looked completely different and absolutely surreal back in 2008. GTA5 is no where near this leap that GTA4 made, and arguably took several steps back.
GTA 5 looks badass, but its downfall in my opinion is the story. Since they had to divide a 30-40hr game into 3 to fit the characters, there was no character build up hence you ended up not caring too much about them. I wish there was more time to play as each character and that their story would start earlier to see why they ended up crossing paths. Instead, I felt like I skipped 40mins of a movie to where the real action starts, so it feels incomplete. That is why I love San Andreas because I got to see CJ's beginnings and also with Niko I got to see his "fresh start" in NYC spread throughout a 35 hour game.
I was 11 when this released I remember begging my mom to buy me ps3 but she never did so I had to wait another 3 years until I had my own money to buy xbox 360
Lee Cummings Yeah exactly. I personally think gta5 was better in every other way (almost) but I am not going to force my opinion down peoples throats just because I think it.
Joey Slávik The only people who like gta 5 more are people who don't care about story and just want to do mindless shit. gta 5 takes a less serious turn. gta 4 is undeniably better, it's a damn masterpiece.
The story in GTA 4 felt much deeper than that of GTA 5 but really after you beat the story there's literally nothing to do in the game and nothing to do with your money but I really liked the fact you were able to go into the burger shot don't know why they took it out for GTA 5.
You know what I hate most about GTA 5? (excluding no current PC release) the community Honestly go somewhere and say "I don't like (insert GTA protagonist) people will either not care, or say "I agree" or "I like them but I respect your opinion" Go say "I don't like Trevor" and 200 seven-year-olds will come in arguing with you
There's this little shit that does nothing but talk about GTA5. Whenever you even mention Saints Row (I love Saints Row), he says it sucks, even though he's only played Saints Row 4 for 5 minutes. The fanboys are what have kept me from GTA for so long.
Shlomo Auschwitzgoldbergshekelstein Its true, but GTA sa fans are even worse. I mean at least the toxic fans from gta v are mostly kids. San andreas is filled with people with the same mentality level as the gta v fans.
YourCreepyUncle I miss games where your just thrown into thr world and just start from there and do your thing. Even the introduction to Skyrim is the worst part of the game.
@@faizaan_787 i guarantee that you call yourself a gamer after you played roblox and probably lives in their mom's basement and I'm being modest lol And you probably do cringey fortnite dances
It wasn't that dark compaired to Gta 4, Probably because the Protagonist in Gta 3 is Mute/Refuses to talk giving a handicap of not expressing his feelings unlike 4
GTA 3 is a lot darker than people think it is, I agree.. But it's still no where near as dark as GTA 4. Eddie Low's missions alone are 100 percent proof of that. Look them up.
"Doesn't really have the framerate issues that have plagued the game in the past." Meanwhile over half of this review footage is at sub-30 FPS. Oh how our standards have changed.
Bryan Smith Certainly not in the story department i'll tell you that. It was cool for a one time ago, and I really like the characters but I honestly have no desire to ever play the story mode again. Alot of boring and slow missions as well.
yeah i had the same thing. after listening flashing light in gta 4 i downloaded kanyes album "graduation". i am atm still listening it. my favourite song is champion btw.
i seriously disagree when i hear people say san andreas was the best, im sure it was good. but this game had fixed everything from SA and did it perfectly. shooting, cover, driving, animations, graphics, characters were all better in this game then in SA. gta4 is one of the best games ever made and possibly my favourite. and dont let me ramble on about gta5, when technically, it is the best gta. but i prefere the story and characters of gta4.
GTA IV is way better than V reasons: better city better online better damage physics(on cars) better driving physics better soundtrack better radio better story better characters better vehicles better community better all around game play(online also) better dlc better equality
I remember playing this for the first time and the weight of the cars was on point from sanandreas turning instantly to the weighty feel or gta 4 I think it nailed it, gta 4 shits all over gta 5 even in story
Ozae and the city it's self naturally New York City in comparison to Los Angeles is a overall way more bussiling city the subway system in gta4 is soooooo authentic it can be utilized for some missions developers want you to exploit these things bust most people don't
@@SarahConnor618 the melee attacks was the same for all three characters in GTA V and u press one button for them to do the same combo. Gta IV u have more melee options and more counter animations
Knees to the body, low blows, roundhouse kicks, devastating baseball bat to the head, stabs to the body - Niko had it all. GTA 5 has very few combat animations, even between all 3 characters, while GTA 4 has a lot for 1 character. GTA 4 wins.
Its crazy to look at this and compare this to GTA V and see how far we came in pushing the Xbox 360 and PS3 to their limits. It's like looking at GTA 3 and seeing how much further they got with pushing the graphics limits with GTA San Andreas on the PS2
***** Oh no problem I was quite surprised they did that; sad, now I wanna trade my Xbox One in for a 360, because I am under the impression they won't remaster it on the One
Did you just say they pushed the graphics limits with san andreas? Bro san andreas has bad graphics for the PS2. Yeah it came out in 2004, there were still games with better graphics in 2004. The best graphics I have ever seen on a PS2 game was God Of War
Zack Woodd wait until you see God of War 2 then. Btw I was talking about pushing the limits of their GTA games, not games in general. Compare GTA 3 to SA and you will see what a huge leap forward it was in scale.
Unfortunately,Rockstar games don't care about their old games and community now,only for GTA Online and Red Dead Online(And money of course ,but it's TakeTwo fault).Remastered version of GTA IV(and not only this GTA),best multiplayer ever made will never be exist in our time.
Alphaomarni Karnley Jarbie If you don't know what it means then search up the definition why would I write something that doesn't make sense? come on man...
+user256 Man I remember when GTA4 online was fun. I think it is way better than GTA5 online. Me and my online buddies would do free mode matches and have shootouts with the police. Good times
I remember first playing this at a sleepover in 2008, didn’t know what the game was I just enjoyed the freedom it gave me. I miss the days when you could find out about a game from your friends, kept that intrigue alive
I'll never forget looking at this review with kayne playing back in 08. This game is often forgotten about, but it holds up as one of the best gta games
Within twenty-four hours of its release, Grand Theft Auto IV sold over 3.6 million copies, equating to approximately $310 million in revenue. Within a week, it generated more than $500 million in worldwide revenue, equating to approximately 6 million copies sold for Take Two.
People give this game shit just because it's not as "fun" to some people as San Andreas and GTA 5. The main story of this game was great and I can play this game 6 years after its release and still have fun beating the story mode (and I've beat the story at least 10 times).
Gta IV had a way better story, It was really dramatic and I felt submerged into it. Gta v's story was just silly the whole time they're was really no drama to it
Why are people here saying GTA IV Is better then GTA V cause i think about everybody thinks GTA V is the best open world game ever created and the amount of detail in GTA V then GTA IV is just mind blowing. The retards here trying to say GTA IV was better need to slap them sleeves across the face cause GTA IV was so boring ones you beet the single player. And Also to the people hating On GTA V need to shut up cause you clearly do not know how fun it is to play with friends. People just hate GTA V cause it is main stream and everybody in my high school plays it and millions of people that are in college have GTA V as there only game ever cause it is so fun that there is no point to get other video games ever agian lol
Nguyen Huy what IS your malfunction ? You have the nerve telling him to get a life,when you act as if you have to defend the 'honour' of a fucking game (and a mediocre one too) ...it's a thing. You shouldn't get so attached to things. Because you made such a direct personal insult because of the commentator's opinion,I think you are the one who lives for playing games and dont have much of a life yet. Whatever dude,whatever. Peace
Because, to some people, the story is much more important that pretty graphics. I am one of them. GTA IV has more relatable characters. I tried to relate to Franklin, Michael and Trevor without any success. Even though Trevor was a lot of fun to watch.
