Most people hated it on release, but today it's acknowledged as an absolute masterpiece.

It's like people finally realized that story, writing, atmosphere, and game feel are much more important than stupid mindless minigames and being able to eat a bunch of food and get fat.

there will never ever be another game like this, the physics engine is unlike any other. the multiplayer is also fun as well. i really hope this game gets a more up to date port like rdr1 did, it REALLY needs it.

The story is a lot more mediocre than I remembered.
It has strong atmosphere at the start, but later on it turns into generic errand boy shit, with a couple of good beats (that are exceptions to the rule)

No it's the most forgotten GTA. SA is known for being the most ambitious, 3 started it all, Vice City for Aura and V is V.

Most people still agree that Saints Row 2 > GTA IV

Dogshit on release and mogged by SR2. Total downgrade to everything that came before it.
The only โ€œpeopleโ€ who pretend to enjoy this slop are pajeetbox360 zoomers with 12inch nostalgia goggles.

these games have always sucked in general. they're a lot of style but not a whole lot of substance. in missions they're instruction following simulators; outside of missions they're directionless walking simulators in which you can do various menial activities that range from mind numbingly boring to just engaging enough to make you wish you were playing a better game.

basically I think it's time to put open world games out to pasture already.

It's true. A LOT of people felt IV was too serious while Saints Row 2 allowed you to just fuck around and have fun.

But GTA 4 had the pretense to have a heavier story. It did but only for a small part

The most fun mission in GTA4 was driving a fucking scooter through central parc for some fag, that game has terrible mission design.
especially when compared to 3, VC,SA and 5

I don't want some outsourced jeets to ruin it, unless it's the same studio that did the RDR port. And they should remove cockstar launcher requirement, that shit sucks balls.

The last GTA game that was interesting enough to finish it. I got V for free and only played it for a few hours, then I never felt like coming back. And VI looks like it's some american womans fantasy.

i play bogt way more than the base game, grinding friend levels is just so tiresome in the base game and the side activities are lame. the weapons are also way more fun in bogt.

hated is a strong word but many many people thought it sucked ass compared to san andreas, and in a lot of ways it did. saints row 2's entire marketing campaign was based off the reaction some people had to gta 4

I liked it enough at the time but it is very hard to go back to now, especially after later games like GTA 5. The graphics look like shit, Niko moves like a 400 pound woman with cum in her eyes, the weapons are boring and the game is barebones in general. I'm not sure what they were thinking with some of the choices they made for GTA 4. No parachutes? Really? There was very little to do in this game which is the reason the swingset glitch was so popular, because it was one of the only sources of fun in the game. You couldn't even stand on cars or trains, because for some reason Niko would instantly go floppy and slide off

The game was good, story was utter dogshit, characters were great and terrible, engine was amazing.
I wonder if the "driving is too hard" retards are still around.

GTA4 is a steaming pile of shit. Name a single memorable mission apart from the bank heist. Story and characters are good on paper but the shitty mission ruin it. Even in the Alderney endgame the game has you doing "drive across the entire map and kill 10 mobsters in an alleyway" tier missions while San Andreas had you stealing fucking extraterrestrial tech from glowniggers while flying a jetpack.

And you know I am correct when even Rockstar realized the base game was fucking BORING and made The Ballad of Gay Tony which was an excellent DLC. Call me zoom zoom all you want, you fucking contrarian nerd faggots. I am 36 years old and actually played GTA4 on release on Xbox 360. Can you say the same? I absolutely hated it like most other people who were hyped for it and then massively disappointed. All the recent praise this shit game gets is from actual zoomers.
