I never thought I'd live long enough to consider GTA4 old, yet here we are.
I just beat the game for the first time about a month ago
we out here
GTA 5 is 9 years old yet I could swear it came out two years ago, and GTA IV like 5.
14 years ago.
@@DoctorGreenthumb_ on pc right, because on console you cant finish the last mission because you have spam A/X and the tick rate is so much higher that it's physically impossible to press the button fast enough to pass
How long did you think you’d live?
This game is the reason Max Payne 3 had its amazing combat system, as well as rdr2.
Mr Black Yoshi will you baptise my EastEnders boxset?
amazing is when weapons never miss and they dont even have slow mod gun sounds. Pfft.
@@arkgaharandan5881 That's on the PC version. Console version the weapons actually have recoil and bullets splatter. PC version has a few problems actually. Like missing the animation for walking up the stairs. Luckily it can be fixed by mods but I doubt most gamers will actually bother.
@@strictlylethal Actually PC Version has A LOAD of problems, like not recognising 4gb ram, invisible world, fps falls, I say this having played it both on xbox and pc.
@@strictlylethal stilll no slow mo sounds even fallout 3 had that in vats

My only memory of this game was of watching my father fly a helicopter to the roofs and using a sniper and killing random people on the ground. I watch mesmerized at the screen, and said to myself, “he’s just like me fr”
Last part got me dying 💀💀💀
"Fr fr😭💯" stupid shit

The fact that it's going to be 15 years since GTA 4 has released is so fucking surreal.
In 2008, 15 years ago would've been 1993.
Jesus… We’re getting old boys.
Stop it. You're making me feel old.
ok
Wtf
I’m born is 2007 and that’s making me feel old
Pls stop it
Congratulations, you can do basic math
17:36 actually that's not true, Niko may be a very sympathetic character, which makes it really easy to forget that he's a traumatized war veteran with untreated PTSD which makes him capable of snapping at random, just listen to the stuff he yells during gun fights and you can tell he's lost his mind, for example when he yells at the top of his lungs "I'LL RIP YOUR HEART OUT!" or "PUSH ME! PUSH ME!"
Oh yeah I forgot he had ptsd
damn…
Also he was a teenager during the war
or my personal favorite, I’ll cut off your fAcking head!” so much soul and pain and his war cries.
Also “HUH?!? DID THAT HURT?!”
I still love the way the shooting feels in this game. The guns are loud, muzzle flashes are bright, and every bullet you fired seemed like it made a real impact. Combine that with the amazing ragdoll system they had and it made the combat feels so gritty and brutal.
Oh yeah nothing better than going to the hospital and trying to block off the entrance with a car and then blasting the patients on their hospital beds 😭
I've always preferred 5 but I can't deny that nothing tops 4's gunplay. The guns were satisfying to use, and combined with the AI and health system, it's definitely the most balanced GTA game in my opinion.
@@Walker-ow7vj Man I've done some unspeakable things in those hospital halls
I feel the same way! After playing GTAV since launch, I went back to GTAIV and after my first gunfight I was so shocked how more real the guns felt. Even just the pistol felt so brutal.
@@Walker-ow7vj we all have the same experiences i see
The Romanian play style is very, extremely, 100% and totally viable. You just have to be Romanian yourself to be able to properly do it.
Brother, we shall steal his video
Another Romanian brother I see. There is a big chance to be caught in a situation like this. Everyone has a bat as a melee weapon.

Sadly, I am an American, therefore, I will never be able to beat GTA IV the Romanian way.
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 fact that he is a serb and am a bosnian i kinda feel angry and sad for him
GTA4 is imo the best GTA, the story, the physics, just superior even compared to GTA5. The car-damage models alone are so amazing.
@@juggernut1418That is a rather interesting sentiment.
And with a little bit of pride I can say I already defended it against them heathens back then, bemoaning a silly and unncessary body stat feature nobody needed. Best GTA ever made and I am afraid that it will keep that title in my books for many years to come.
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.
This is arrested development level of writing. So many jokes per minute, it's absolutely incredible.
seems like a maxor/jimothy style incorrect summary / hypercut so makes sense (but with less painstaking editing)

They include the *full* soundtrack too. Everybody needs to stop wasting their money on digital downloads and grab an old disc out of the bargain basket 👍
@@daveyjones18 I fully agree but I cannot play only GTA 4 until the end of time
Don't call Lil Jacob "some fucko", I fucking love that man, best side character in the series as far as I'm conocerned Bonboclat
This is hands down my all time favorite video game, and not just because of the potent nostalgia. The game is engineered in a way that has yet to be replicated.
GTA 4 was my first big single player game after growing up kinda sheltered. I was so absolutely gobsmacked by it. I missed multiple days of college lectures just sitting in my room driving around Hove Beach, drinking in the world, breathing it like air, watching the details and the reactions. All the while thinking, "My god, how does a game like this exist?!"
Unless something really groundbreaking shows up, no video game will ever hold me spellbound like that as long as I live.
People have no idea just how immersive this game is. The atmosphere of the world they managed to create is unmatched.
5:55 to be entirely fair, a paramedics job it essentially *is* putting you in the hospital. I’ve never heard of an ambulance dropping someone off at their buddies place or something.
Yeah, though in most western countries now, our medical sectors seem to think it's their job to keep us in hospital as long as possible.
As a rule of thumb nearly any game from 07-08 were all masterpieces.

04-09 was the golden era for games.

GTA IV also has the most iconic soundtrack. Dark, sinister and giving chills down the spine. By far the best GTA game.
San Andreas is superior
Serbian Connection slaps
7:49 This truly is the most dark and realistic entry in the franchise bruh
The reason why fighting is so good in GTA 4 is because Bas rutten former UFC heavyweight champion and king of pancrase did the mocap, he also did the mocap for all the car jackings.
plus Bas insisted on hitting pads during the mocap to give the combat much more realism and weight opposed to just shadowboxing
It’s much more appreciated knowing he Is also in a show in-game and there is a large promotion for it at near star junction
What?? I never knew that man, that's bad ass. Although Bas would probably crush your liver to a fine pulp if you didn't give him your car lol

Honestly GTA 4 has the best theme song
Listen to gta 1 theme
For me it's hard to put only one theme song as my favorite of the GTA franchise. So my favorites are: GTA 4, GTA 3, GTA VC, GTA 1 and GTA SA. I haven't played the Stories versions and Chinatown Wars so I can't judge those theme songs. But my least favorite is GTA 5.
the sky is blue
top 3 for me
1.4
2.LCS
3 Sa
I can honestly say gta 4 is better than 5 without being blinded by nostalgia
the best bowling simulator since bowling in wii sports, so good that even has a pretty good story
Hype, GTA IV Is just a Martin Scorsese movie made as a video game. 10/10 story and still amazing and fun gameplay to this day. Also, lets not forget probably the greatest expansion packs for a game ever made.
Eh sorta, main inspirations were the movies Brat and Brat 2, which were essentially Russian takes on Taxi Driver. So ye, Scorsese inspired certainly, but not Scorsese per se
@@jackeldridge1319 *insert nerd emoji*
@@jon.schnee 🤓
@@jackeldridge1319 those movies have nothing to do with Taxi Driver. You are very wrong, my friend.
@@ThatSuicideBear then enlighten us 🤠
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.
1:18 that caught me off guard 💀💀💀
The yakuza music in the part about fistfighting actually fits because you can buy a suit in game that is the same as the one kiryu wears
What do you want from me? Please stop telling me this, it's been 16 months since then, I get it but I can't change the past, please leave me alone, let me start again.
@@theceoofcrackcocaineandamp5961 No
Was that a reference? I always thought it was coincidence
I thought it was Scarface
@@sigma_borat7157 SAME LMAO
My headcanon is that the reason why Niko can be so moral and restrained in the cutscenes and so sociopathic and crazy in actual gameplay is because of his ptsd, due to what he did he is constantly an inch away from snapping and going into a PTSD induced rampage, hence why you can go on a killing spree at any given moment and still be within character for Niko
Literally happy tree friends bruh 💀
@@patch-fm lol I was thinking the same thing
Average Yogoslav war veteran
The only problem i have with gta 4 is that there isn't alot to spend your money on, like the mission gives you that much money and the only things you can get is clothes and guns. And then there is RDR 1 which i cannot finish because when you unlock poker i just become a gambling addict.
That's part of the point of the thematic storytelling; wether it was executed well is basically a coin flip, person to person. I personally resonate with it, but can easily see a version where this is different and still work.
Yeah i kinda wish there was more options in gta4. Like being able to buy cars that you can't just steal off the streets, customizing them etc. But as far as gameplay and story its still my favorite gta
The actual problem is fucking ricochet RPG's missiles.
@@syntax2004 RPGs can ricochet in real life too if they don't get a direct hit. It has to hit the trigger/primer on the tip of the grenade to detonate. look up a video on how they work. If it hits something at a shallow enough angle it might bounce around and ricochet.
@@Eralen00 there's even a RL example of it happening. A rocket ricocheted off of a marine's helmet lmao
GTA 4 was one of the GTA games I always come back too. Don't get me wrong I like 5, but the story of 4 was so good and the characters even better. Even now I am so happy to see it being talked about.
Fax I haven’t replayed gta5’s story except for when my sis deleted my save file, but gta iv’s always gets me coming back
I still think this quote is the most haunting yet profound of any that a GTA character has said, especially given the implication that Niko more likely than not did this and is very haunted by it:
“But don’t you worry about your soul?”
“(Sigh) After you walk into a village and you see 50 children lined up neatly in a row against a church wall, each with their throats cut and their hands chopped off, you realize that the creature that could do this doesn’t have a soul…”
I don't think Niko killed them, he just saw the aftermath
@@St_Rizla It’s hard to say for sure. Maybe he played a part in it somehow. It’s just weird how he responded with that after he was asked about his own soul.
never even thought about this line this way and i don't think it was meant to be interpreted this way, i think the implication was that what he saw made him believe that humans in general don't have a soul (which sounded more like a figure of speech you would normally use during a not imporant, unexpected small-talk, not a statement on what he believes in or doesn't; he was basically trying to evade a question he didn't expect with a short story from his life). he wouldn't start with "after you walk into a village and see [...]", it literally means that he saw something but was there after it already happened and he didn't participate in it, there is zero evidence in this sentence that he's claiming to have done these things
@@kqlys7845 Idk, he talks previously about doing bad things and then thinking nothing of doing bad things, such as killing, smuggling, and selling people, then mentions that. But okay, let’s say he didn’t. Why would he respond like that about his own soul? 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
4:53 oh RUclips is going to hate this
2008 had suspiciously detailed videogames, that's what im always telling
8:43 when I saw this part I was expecting a joke about the uncensored of the GTA2 short movie but alas.
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.
Bro... at 6:40 , damn that brings back memories.... Kitty0706 rest in peace, Nice to see your still subbed to him
I take pride in my ability to cycle through multiple targets in fisticuffs mode, and even land a strike on multiple opponents with a single counter animation. Basically it's a skill issue
facts.
The underground cage fighting in tbogt were a lot of fun too
me with being able to do wrong side of the tracks first time and the mission where you get drugs from abandoned hospital in gta 4
Opening with a Jerma reference is legendary.
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.
Sometimes that age rating shouldn't be there just becasue there's violence, blood, and sex. Sometimes it should be there to tell you: "You'll understand when you're older".

Me: *nodding in approval at the mention of the Jazz station*
7:11 i never got the joke about irish car bombs. Ive played it numerous times and never realized
It has something to do with IRA and that upper Irish land controlled by British(northern ireland).
IRA is considered as terrorist organization.
Specifically their most famous attack was in 1998 when they put bomb inside car in Omagh.
So this is that joke about irish guy setting bombs in cars.
3:58 Fist fight....
Yakuza theme song hits
Yakuza fans when they see a street fight: "HOLY SHIT THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT TIME KIRYU FIGHTS THE 10 YEARS IN THE JOINT GUY"
The Fact that this videos length is 20:08, the exact year of GTA IV, either is or is not a coincidence
FR
3:37 fun fact: there is more knife crime in the US than the UK.
I was pretty young when gta iv released and that clip of the alleyway baseball bat with the hotdog stand man immediately triggered a burst of memories as I did literally exactly that once finding it and seeing how crazy the rag dolls and physics were for the time as gta iv was really new at the time.
This game is still a pretty good representation of a Cab driver's life in New York
"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
GTA 4's driving physics aren't anywhere near realistic.
@@Skrenja It's the best one among GTA games. And it's the only one where car mass can actually be felt
@@Skrenja Try to corner a street at 80 Kmph and see the traction that a car gets.
I know GTA 4 is not even remotely a realistic simulation of car physics, but atleast it tries. GTA V makes it too arcady. Momentum has a meaning.
Idk, 4's car physics make some missions quite a chore, through at least the npcs in races are just as bad as you are, racing end up being much easier than regular drives because the npcs just crash in their first curve lol
@@marrvynswillames4975 Car driving parts are good. Bikes tho......... Those are real pain. And my "allergy" to them doesn't help, I hate bikes so much
Best GTA without question. Best gunplay,best driving, best story, everything about it is perfect
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.
moral for the game:- never go for bowling instead start playing darts
Yeah, playing bowling with a mouse is pretty painful
I was listening to this video and I knew which Jerma clip that was in the beginning without looking. That bike tire headshot never gets old.
5:44 That may be true but nothing will ever top Pedestrians in GTA III jumping in front of my car to commit suicide while I drive down the road at top speed
Still one of my favourite games ever. Is so gritty and cruel. In one mission you’re even sent to kill another gangster. And you get to choose if you kill him or spare his life. I miss being 13 and having endless time to fuck around in this game, the world is amazing with all those sky scrappers and amazing lights. Actually difficult shootouts and chases. It was a blast.
Thank you for covering this masterpiece. I have a personal attachment to this game and over the years, this game has grown on me. Plus, listening to Liberty Rock Radio feels different.
Never in the many times I’ve played this game I realized that Packie had so much in common with the IRA
GTA IV actually has the most accurate car handling models out of all the GTA games. Weight transfer is an actual thing in real life, where GTA V feels like Forza with all the assist cranked to 2000%
As an Irish man, I approve this message 7:11
I still can’t believe how u managed to explain almost everything about gta IV in 20 minutes Amazing work

You may be unable to "yeet" the bowling ball, because your surface isn't even enough. If the game senses that your mouse is moving irratically, it won't work. And for the game to think that the movement is irradical, there only needs to be like a bread crumb on your desk.
Its mandatory for every gta game to have shitty mission involving flight, though I think I would take 4s helicopter missions over the vice city ones any day.
