It was just way more mature. GTA V tried to please children too much and some of the writing was downright terrible. I'm glad they returned to form with RDR2 in that regard. Don't get me wrong, GTA V is one of the greatest games of all time but it didn't draw me in like GTA IV. The three protagonists are stereotypes, none of them comes even close to Niko.

San Andreas still the best GTA tho

they both sucked

we need that vice city s***

agreed

San Andreas the greatest GTA

But Vice City fantastic too

that's correct

boring ass game

i'll never forget playing IV for the first time and gettin level 10 online V is great tho

vice citys story was better. sa had the features.

what we really need is gta that's like rdr2. a proper journey of a character's life. v and iv did not feel like that at all.

i like the idea of your character starting off at the top, going into prison, him coming back out and everything has changed. from 80s vc to current day. imagine that.

Every GTA but SA sucks

Found 4 really boring tbh.
Didnt really mind a more serious story (although i skipped a lot of cutscenes), but it needed more humor.

Little things like the parody companies. They didnt have funny names, they werent parodies, just knock offs.

Free Mode with the squad was too much fun.

It's funny, because GTA Online had everything we would talk about when were playing IV. Like "damn we should have this and this". But it just couldn't hold up for some reason.

Can't believe we deadass used to run around picking up guns, every time we respawned

Yeah, I remember when all online features were being announced and we were like but when that s*** launched eventually, the magic just wasn't there. Which sucks because RDR1 had absolutely nailed the online component. That and the endless loading screens killed any hype I had tbh

Not even close

vice city was my game

THANK YOU

I never beat the GTA 4 story tho, but that multiplayer was so much fun. Niggas would have wars just chasing each other throughout the map like some john wick meets fast and the furious s***

lmao not with those controls. you could barely walk that mf around, let alone get into a car or door first try

4 way better than 5. GTA5 only has better shooting mechanics.

GTA IV is the only one in the series I never finished.

You missing out

The guns in V sound too wimpy. The assault rifle and desert eagle in IV sounded hard af.

No planes?

all of em goat
