I Played GTA 4 In 2023... It Might Be Better Than GTA 5 (Review)

- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- GTA 4 released back in 2008 and was heavily anticipated
Expectations were set extremely high and for some GTA 4 met those expectations but for some it didn't.
GTA 4 has been out for over 14 years now and I really wanted to hop into it once again to see if GTA 4 lived up to both nostalgia and the expectations of modern gamers.
So does GTA 4 live up to those standards?
Has the gameplay of GTA 4 been negatively impacted by time or does the gameplay still hold up to todays standards?
Was the story of GTA 4 really as good as we all remember or has nostalgia blinded us all?
These are just some of the questions I want to answer in my GTA 4 review in 2023.

For those that have any taste, they will acknowledge that GTA4 is by far the best game in the series, and legitimately one of the best games of all time.
Absolutely
yeah its the third highest rated game of all time behind tony hawk's pro skater 2 and ocarina of time
not necessarily, I mean I like gta 4 but it isn't right to make people have to like it because I know not everyone will and it is a bit mean to say those people that don't like gta 4 have bad taste because of it. people will have good reason to prefer other gta games or not be really into gta at all, it's simply an opinion at the end of the day and we shouldn't try to make it objective.
@@CursedAnqxl yeah of course its not for everyone
@CursedAnqxl you're right about that. It's a personal preference but boy you can't tell that to GTA 5 fans. All these games do good with what they offer players and people like what they like. To me GTA 4 is a great game especially with its darker themed story and it's a different feel compared to the other GTA games that feel the same for the most. GTA 5 feels like the previous games with new gen graphics but damnit it takes away going to Burger Shot lol but in all fun all of the GTA games are good but 4 has that dark element that makes it stand out more than the others
Bro the fighting in GTA 4 is SO much more fun and satisfying then GTA 5.
I miss having multiple parries
Yeah the fighting and shooting was so good in 4
It still is and it will always be.
I think Gta V's 10 yr run says otherwise bozo 😂
LOL quality over quantity, plus I still play both to this day, its not a competition. your comment is hilarious, get a clue and go play that trash ass online HAHAHAHA@@hostilesavage4299
@@hostilesavage4299Bozo 😂
@@hostilesavage4299ah yes a 10 year run of milking a game into oblivion and microtransactions.
@@hostilesavage429910 year run of rockstar doing nothing but adding shark cards and GTA online turning into Fortnite. Great game mong.
Escaping from a high wanted level by running through alleys and switching cars can feel really exciting and fun. It's my favorite part of the game. Also, killing Playboy X will give you a safehouse, an outfit, and Dwayne will be available as a friend. Dwayne has a "call for backup" ability that can be unlocked by hanging out with him. Killing Dwayne will only give you 25k, and Playboy X disappears pretty much.
Oh absolutely it’s great fun but I do want a little more with gta 6 :D
I'm just about to start this game today thanks for the heads up 🎉
@@biohazord2522each friend and date has special abilities mate, I use Kiki to erase my wanted level more than I'd like to admit lol
Lol I took the 25k
Dwayne is a terrible person. All he does is complain about his life. He’s mad at everyone else because he got locked up. But that’s no one else’s fault but his own. He even put a hit on his own girlfriend. His goons suck too; they die quickly
Just finished gta4 and both dlc's on pc 3 days ago! Took me like 40 hours. A little clunky by today's standards but definitely well worth playing!
Definitely a little clunky but man does it still feel pretty great overall :D
Took me about 20 hours for the original story maybe a little longer
BOGT was awesome. Brought some of that Vice City funness back to the new games
All you gotta do is point Nico in the direction you want him to enter car or take cover, clunky no more.
I'm with 80h and still don't finished, I like so much the game that i don't want to finish it, hahaha
I just started re-playing GTA IV on my PC after re-playing GTA V and I completely agree. GTA IV is my favorite. I was surprised how great the physics and car damage is
GTA Vice City better than all of them until GTA 6 come out 👌🏾
@@504Trey vice city is incredible. They’re all great tho and I used to not care for IV as much until I replayed it.
And the physics. When you shoot the enemy the body of them react so real
How are you able play on pc without lag and fps drop
@justhelad search it on Google Google will help you optimize graphics in game settings
What I love about GTA IV is how Liberty City is portrayed. Modern-day New York City is a very colorless place to live.It's full of chaos and I understand it's not everybody's flavor but that's part of the NYC experience it's not called the city that never sleeps for nothing.Say what you want about Niko Bellic but believe it or not he's one of my favorite video game characters ever.I have respect for him because he wants to live the "American Dream" is willing to do whatever it takes to make that dream become a reality. It's incredible to me how beautiful GTA IV still looks,feels and sounds.I highly recommended the game along with both episodes from Liberty City which is the DLCs.
Irl nyc isn’t as bad, I’ve spent some time there (not vacation wise) it’s alright
@@LunarWoodProductions I went to NYC twice and like you said it's not as bad as what everyone thinks it is.
Lol he absolutely hates america and the concept of american dream an capitalist through logical and not brainwashed lenses. Roman believed the dream and only he cares for it. Funny how the only way to achieve it is through extreme luck (gambling) and/or doing crime. Even government sponsored crime
Yeah. GTA5 players who say GTA4 is “too gloomy” obviously don’t know how gloomy the East Coast tends to be.
@@AlqhemyAThey have no understanding of how atmosphere in a video game works
If it helps to say, OP, I concur: GTA IV was indisputably the best story of any of the GTA games, even if V is technically better. Do not forget, too, that it still had police and taxi missions, something I hope VI remembers to restore. I, too, wish they had remastered IV. It deserved a far longer lifespan than its successor. I accept, alas, I am probably in the minority.
This weirdo foreign clown's story is not the best gta storyline... It's actually stupid.
U tryna immitate a redditor or smth??
Nahh in story gta san is the best♥️
V isn't technically better lmao, The Cop AI is painful is V but IV is superior
@@binodop1759That's ancient, cannot be compared
I love the car driving physics of this game
Totally! Unbeaten to this day if you ask me. Cars feel so heavy and every corner slide gives you such a satisfying feeling. It’s crazy even in 2023
Yeah. GTA5 fans are just mad you can’t turn a corner at 200 MPH and not spin out.
@@AlqhemyAwhen you’re actually old enough to drive go ahead and comment, not every car has dogs hit suspension and can’t take corners lmao
@@austinbatton4849 proving my point lol
but you do spin out in all gta games if you go too fast and turn, but gta 4 is just mind numbingly annoying with its driving. I don't care if you consider it "more realistic", it's terrible for gameplay. it's simply a fact. also the higher your frame rate, the worse gta 4 driving gets. but ah yes, realism.
Great retrospective! I feel like GTA4 kinda lives in GTA5's massive shadow nowadays, so it's cool to see it get some love!
this was great. I would pay full price for a remastered version. The driving dynamics are spot on. I can't play GTA V now as it feels too arcade like
TBOGT improved alot on these problems and the missions are action packed and also has checkpoints
In V, I never felt compelled to hang out with any of the characters or do many activities. In IV, I always felt like it was pushed more and you wanted to actually hang with these characters. IV just had a slower pace to it but in a way that I actually prefer over V’s faster pace.
What I hated most about this game is the lack of checkpoints during missions so if you died half way through a lengthy mission you’d have tore start at the very beginning but other than that I actually really enjoyed this game
As much as I hated that I found it to kind of improve the intensity of the gameplay. Made it harder with more risk which kept me more engaged ya know
that’s why i stopped playing, it got annoying
Oh meaning raised stakes, risks and rewards?
Tbogt has checkpoint
You have to be very noob then. Missions in this game are not that long, and are not even that difficult.
I could understand if you wanted a checkpoint in missions like San Andreas where you have to travel a whole state, but in IV?
The car physics and damage models are the best things in this game IMO, I’m gunna replay it!
One of my top GTA games! Loved the driving felt so much more realistic and the damage to people and cars was top notch considering the time this game came out vs GTA V! Forever classic I hope we get these mechanics back for GTA 6 😭
Another awesome video! Replaying IV was great. On replay, it really made me appreciate both IV & V in their own unique ways. IV was so ahead of its time and V made a lot of refinements to the foundation IV set.
idk I feel like the only thing GTA V did was remove good features like having the dumbed down car/helicopter physics and ragdolling. Ofc it did good things, but all it did was bring back features from san andreas and added a character switch system that made me hate two of the characters rather than making the story more expansive. I think the only thing I really liked was the car customization and the weapons. And in regards to the map I prefer IV's, that's really opinion based but still even san andreas' map had more to offer both for style and gameplay.
Not only is it better than 5 but it's better by a lot but I had so much more fun and enjoyment playing 4 and I love the story a lot more. Niko Belic is such a badass and amazing GTA character meanwhile Michael, Franklin and Trevor were cool characters but they had nothing on Nico.
Playing again still great. The fact that the side quests are not marked is great gives a sense of discovery The Side activites add allot to niko. The choices you make can lead to Other side quests, Dating Kiki can lead her to messing your car up if you get caught cheating. The Physics are great and getting Drunk is lots of fun Plus the story is also great. Its great game all ready.
I just completed GTA 4 a couple weeks ago and it cemented itself as my favourite GTA game I've completed (admittedly only the numbered games) pretty quickly. I love the story, I love the characters, it wasn't all too challenging that often to me but I also got the other ending compared to what you got so Jimmy and Mallorie didn't die in my save. I plan on getting to the DLC either later this month or at the start of the new year but it was a really fun experience to me.
I just started replaying GTA 4 last week for no reason other than boredom. I forgot how much I liked it. Hated driving at first but once I got the hang of it again it was a super fun replay.
Admittedly, when GTA 5 came out, when I was 14, I thought it was amazing, and rightfully so, but as I've grown and matured, I've realized that GTA 5 is a Hollywood epic action movie, designed with the most ridiculous shenanigans taking place, while GTA 4 was a highly detailed, realistic crime drama.
I've stopped playing 5 for the most part, as I've played through the whole story over 10 times and have grown tired of it. I've tried playing GTA online, but have become fed up with the constant micro-transactions and try hard players.
I've gone back to GTA 4, playing the game with no cheats, watching every cutscene to better understand the story, and am taking my time playing realistically and paying attention to all the detail.
To put it short: GTA5 is an action blockbuster for kids, while gta4 is a crime drama for adults and cinema fanatics.
GTA 5 is more adult based than IV. GTA5 is a GTA game that brought back some of the best stuff. GTA IV tried too hard to be realistic and missed what made GTA fun.
@@Hidden_lvl That's what makes GTA 4 so good that it was different from the rest of the GTA games. It actually tried something different and it did it well imo and a lot of people do agree too. It may not be for everybody and for people who like the more crazy and wacky side of GTA they will like GTA 5 more but I enjoy both the serious and the wacky. Plus if you wanted that more fun and light hearted side of GTA in GTA 4 you could get that with the Ballad of G** Tony DLC pack
Both are for kids lmfao
@@wujek7616 How? Just because it is CGI and a video game? If so, that's a lame piece of evidence to prove it is for kids.
@@artistanthony1007 let me rephrase, both games are popular with kids, but gta 4 is more popular amongst kids who want to make themselves look different. Both titles are also played by adults.
A nice little detail about tolls: you don't pay the toll when you're driving an emergency vehicle. Like a police car or ambulance.
I need this game and red dead to be released for ps5. No remakes just 4K 60 fps
Someone get a stone tablet and fucking carve what this man said into it
I had a lot of fun playing it and completed it several times. It will always be one of the best games ever 😎
gta iv is my fav in the series and its so ahead of its time i still enjoy it till this day
I just started playing GTA IV, was installed on an Asus laptop I've had for about 14 years , and I got to say, it's amazing. I remember I started playing it years and years ago but never really got into it. Did a couple of missions and then quit.. decided to start playing again just for the hell of it, and damn. Yeah, game is gold. Can't stop playing now!
I think Niko's Revenge Goal being set aside for the sake of other more important matters he must prioritize such as earning money by working for some pretty messed up people so he and Roman can survive in the city, was kind of a hidden moral of the story that GTA IV was trying to tell. We probably all have experienced at one point in our lives where we wanted to punch someone in the face because they got away for the mess they've created, and we who were the innocents got in trouble and blamed for something they've done, but instead of preparing to get back at those people with fire in our eyes, we just kind of end up forgetting our main goals and started doing other things that are actually helping other people that we cared about. So the moment we finally got an opportunity to punish the bullies who caused our lives a living hell, it just didn't feel.... ultimate, for lack of better terms.
It just suddenly felt underwhelming when we finally got the opportunity to punch their faces in the end, and I think it's because we didn't actually use our time trying to gain some muscles to give a proper and satisfying beating for our enemies despite wanting to do it for like say, 10 years like Niko had, but instead, we spent the whole time with our families, making friends along the way, and working for money like a normal person in the real world. That's why Niko's _"Revenge,"_ didn't actually feel like the point of GTA IV's Revenge Story overall, but it was the time that was spent trying to prepare for that Revenge we've been wanting to get all this time. And throughout GTA IV's story, besides the countless amount of killing people and driving around the city, we've actually made new friends, learned so much about them, and even got a few laughs and giggles here and there, when the truth is, we should've been spending the whole time looking for the people we hate and preparing ourselves about what we should say to them and how we should punish them. That was the sweetness and light-heartedness of GTA IV hidden in plain sight under its dark atmosphere, violence, and harsh story.
Even though Niko also experienced some more betrayal in the main story, he didn't really try going after Dmitri until the very end, because as much as Niko wanted Revenge for those who betrayed him, he's also trying to get away from that violent and cruel nature of him killing more people deep down, like how if you call Roman after killing Ray Boccino, Niko just straight up expresses how he tired he feels to his cousin asks him about how much can he go on in dealing in death like he sounds depressed, which is why he ignored Dmitri when he first betrayed him, but the moment he killed Roman, that was something Niko will not ignore, not like he could anyway, Niko even says it in one of his Dialogues. Just goes to show there was more to GTA IV's Revenge Story than just Revenge, because what is a Revenge Story, without the friends you lost along the way. More often than not, Niko spending time with Roman and working so both of them can have money to survive is what helps him avoid this whole Revenge goal of his, and just helps him focus on the people he has right now who are still alive and whom he finds happiness which serves as a Good kind of Distraction from what is a Seriously Bad Ambition or Goal he's trying to achieve... well, unless some bad dudes who betrayed him came in and killed one of his loved ones, thus disturbing that peace and bringing Niko back into achieving his Revenge Goal more than ever. I've said this once, and I'll say it again. GTA IV's Revenge Story is more than just Revenge, and it's a lot more well-crafted, and brilliantly well-written than people who already try to make it out to be, like me. GTA IV is truly a Masterpiece.
Hi can you do a review on Dead Rising 3 its a 10 year old game so fairly old, beat it recently I think its still fun, but whether it has aged well is debatable. I think it would be interesting to get you're opinions on this.
GTA IV is the best written story in the series and the attention to fine details in recreating NYC are still pretty mind blowing 15 years later. IV and San Andreas are the most replayable to me but IV edges out SA because once I start playing IV I feel the need to beat it as where San Andreas first 10 or 15 hours are usually what I go back for
Yet the dev's claim it was "so depressing" when they made it...They should go deep into philosophy to find out why it's soo good...yet 6 is WhoaKeAF...funny how everything changed
"deep philosophy" lmao you don't need to be Einstein to understand the game buddy... @@CuttinInIdaho
@@jozefabrahamovic753 lol
This is the best GTA game in my opinion. The story and characters alone raise it to the top of the list for me. Such an incredible game from beginning to end.
I never finished IV, and it appears to be impossible to install from the original disc. $5 on Steam for the DLC + a functional copy seems a reasonable fix.
You can throw grenades further by hold the throw button for a second.
Also, if you kill playboy, not only do you get his penthouse but Dwayne will send you an email and if you reply positively to him, you can hang out with him. If you do decide to hang out with him, not only do you get to know his story better, he also gives you the ability to call backup.
You also absolutely need to hang out with kate quite a few times to understand the relationship that you, as the player, and Niko has with her for her death to be impactful. I actually cried when she died. Niko truly loved her. She was his only shot at living a normal life.
When I first played the game, I felt I had a meaningful relationship with all of the characters as I made sure to hang out with them until they had no more dialogue to say. It really does make a difference as now, you know their backstories and the relationship between them and Niko. It also develops Niko's backstory quite a bit.
Driving around the city and seeing NPCs carry out their lifes is amazing. There is always something happening. Even walking around can be entertaining. They can be really funny at times.
I read that to get Dwayne as back up you have to let playboy X live? 😮
@@biohazord2522 no, you need to kill playboy, once that's done, Dwayne will send you an email saying he wants to hang out with you. You need to reply positively or otherwise you will not be able to hang out with him. Once that is done, he will call you later to do something. You only need to hang out with him a few times. He will eventually call you to say that you can call him if you need help. Dwayne won't help you himself, he will send two guys to help you as backup. They aren't incredibly helpful but they're better than nothing.
@@MrJasonGallant great thanks for the response 👍
@@biohazord2522 You're welcome
GTA IV has the best characters. They all have their reasons to be how they are, it makes them all interesting and I can relate to most of them, even the less important ones (Kiki, Hossan, etc) or the most annoying ones (Vlad, Manny).
Characters in V are just a bunch of despicable aholes and fools, the worst being Trevor : a violent ruthless psycho yelling rudely all the time... 😖
Good job I really enjoyed this and subscribed
I totally agree with the lack of checkpoints. You needed skill to beat it. I remember multiple times in the game I was at half health, I'd completed the objective but had a three-star wanted level, and I had to decide on whether I take the risk of jumping out the third-floor window of a building or duking it out with the police, increasing the wanted level and difficulty in the process. I always chose the window. I remember the first I played GTA 5 and feeling the disappointment when I realised it was going to hold my hand the entire game.
When you become skilled at driving between cars and knowing when to brake/accelerate mixed with the handbrake. Drifting around corners and flying in between traffic is the best feeling
Will rockstar ever release this in definitive edition? I haven’t played this since 360 release so I don’t remember much but I’ve played thru 3, vice city and San andreas definitive and would be nice to follow it up with 4.
I actually love the drab atmosphere Liberty City is portrayed in GTA 4. I actually tend to bring the vibrancy down just enough to where yes things are more grayish, but say its a sunny day the little bits of color that are there really tend to pop against the gray overtones
The beginning when Roman is drunk by the taxi, it’s supposed to be playing “Ein shine shine, chickey chickey shine aye ey” but they removed that for fucking copyright stuff. I just find it so dumb that for videogames, developers don’t make a deal with music people to just get the song and let it stay. Basically the entire Russian station has none of the songs we remember now.
I’m gonna buy a PS3 with GTA IV with TBOGT and TLAD alongside Black ops 1 and 2 😁 can’t wait to have chilled weekends with the PS3 like the old days again 🙏😮💨
Really good video, nice work
hi there's a gta 4 complete edition that is on sale on steam and I'm thinking of buying it. But people are saying that it has poor optimization with PC. They say that if you have better gpu then it will run worse. I have Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, do you think it is worth it to buy this?
Can’t see a reason for a 1650 to struggle with gta 4
Personally I didn’t have any problems with a rtx 3060ti so I can only speak on that
I think it’s worth it
This game definitely deserves a faithful remaster but I'm scared as to what they would do to it. Looking at the definitive edition.
I was thinking of buying gta 4 on steam on my laptop but not sure if it’ll be worth due to the issues mentioned in this video, should I still get it?
Watch the GTA 4 Optimization video by catsmackaroo. He covers performance fixes that ACTUALLY work.
On PC I couldn't play this game. It runs very badly on my PC. That's disappointing because it's a great game. When GTA V came out, I tried it and didn't like it so I bought GTA IV. I wish it ran better on PC but it gives me a headache. It's way more fun than V but if felt like a slide show on my PC
Just played through IV fully for the first time a year ago and it instantly became my favourite GTA game.
I love GTA5 but man.. GTA4 just feels more alive IMO.
I feel the same, less people, less traffic, but somehow more alive.
I hope I get that same spark with gta 6 as I did with this but then again I was 11 years old and had never seen or played a game this advanced
Im near the end of the game on my series x, the gunplay and ragdoll physics make it so fun. One thing I'll always hate about this game is the lack of checkpoints
I think a lack of checkpoints is better and more immersive, there's not much point to dying if you only go back a few seconds, there has to be some sort of challenge otherwise its not really much of a game
@@Scarz3ny the game isn’t really challenging because of a lack of checkpoints, it just makes it longer to complete because I have to drive to it and get to where I was.
In GTA 4 I could die twice on a mission and spend more time trying to complete it than a mission I died six times on in GTA 5. The difference is I didn’t have to spend 5 minutes driving to the mission again and another 5 to get to where I was in the shootout. That doesn’t make the game more difficult, it makes it more frustrating. There some hard missions in 5 but I never got annoyed at them like I did in 4.
I think that rockstar thought that it was too realistic but it was really good.
I don’t like what they did in 5
I just got the game but I seen a video on the last mission it has a glitch is there a way to fix it ?
I will never forget the first time I play GTA IV. I was mersmerize with the driving, the graphics, the physics (want to say sorry for all the citizens of LC that I ram over sometimes during these 15 years). It is a masterpiece with its flaws because there´s no such thing as perfection. I´m agree with you in most of what you say in your video (nice job btw) but for me spare Dwayne is one of the best things in the game. You just need to hang out with him to discover a really sad history and how well done this character is. He gives you the best safehouse and bring you support with some fellas that still loyal to him on the streets. I would like to have more missions with him or PX after spare one of them as you said but it is what it is and still delightful. Keep doing good ;)
It was the little details in the game that just made it addictive as hell too play like when NPC's randomly start fighting or like when if a NPC hits you in front of the cops they get arrested funny as hell not many people know that you can use the police too shoot the bad guys in a house just keep ringing 911 on phone and ask for the police they will just keep turning just be careful doing this because when the last bad guy is killed they will turn on you when you have done nothing wrong lol
i used to like san andreas and vice city the best, and both have their own atmosphere to the game. but all in all gta iv is the best , factually. the mechanics, the casting, the script, the voice actors, the story, the city, the npc's, it all blends in perfectly. vice city has the greatest atmosphere, san andreas has 3 states, but iv is just the best. the only thing missing from 4 is properties. that is litterally the only thing that is missing from this ultimate r* masterpiece. there are mods yes, but those suck to be honest with you. i will play gta iv till i die most likely.
14:44 counterpoint in this mission you dont have to brute force attack. you can blend in as a doctor and "flatline" anthony.
and one mission to kill in Mr. Fuk restaurant, you can shot the tyre of the car (that will be used on escape) before attacking so when the target escape I kid you not, they escape with flat tyre and hitting anything xD. (in the next playthrough I use bomb from packie and blow it when the escape)
I remember those two vividly because I just felt happy that I can do that without the game tells you.
22:30 And man, I will not forgive anyone who choosing to kill Dwayne. him and X story maybe insignificant, but Dwayne is easily the most empathetic story for Nico.
if you follow the cutscene you will understand. how X always sees Dwayne as bother, and Dwayne just need a friend and trying to get back together from zero after prison. and yet GTA still gives you choice which to kill who?!
dayum this mission maybe just a test how many people skip cutscene or just finish GTA asap.
you can fly using numeric keyboard which makes it some of the best controls at the time
OG version on Series S/X is noice
I also have this on PC and do not experience any graphical issues or frame drops like described
Gta 4 is the best story line out of all the gta games the whole game was a masterpiece for its time I pray that one day rockstar remaster the game for nextgen with fully updated graphics and gameplay
*Of course it is , I wish that VI 'll be more like a mix of IV and TBoGT with features from Chinatown wars, with advancements that weren't featured in IV*
you need that gta 4 dep mod. fusion fix, radio downgrader, sweet fx all in one package
GTA IV with the handling file modified to make the cars accelerate just a LITTLE BIT faster and corner just a LITTLE BIT better equals probably the best driving simulation in a video game outside of literal dedicated car games.
Also, yeah easily best story, best protagonist and most alive world in the whole franchise. Overall, the best GTA game. I've played through it many times! Graphics aside, this 2008 game has aged incredibly well.
Good game but GTAV improved a lot. For GTA4, the on foot gunplay was a bit rough, as I wasn't able to run and gun in the game like you can in GTAV. Here it's more like walk and gun unless they fixed it. The car brakes were rough, locking the car in a straight line many times. The bikes pivot on a center axis, which makes they a bit weird to control.
All 3 things you said are incorrect.
@@TheGuyWithStuff 5 is better deal with it
5 is way better. GTA4 has aged like dogs shit. Clunkiest shooting controls ever
@@TheGuyWithStuff as someone who was introduced to the series by 5, 4 is clunky as all hell. my first thoughts when playing the game was "the driving, movement, and shooting are clunky as hell" and i dropped it. I picked it back up later but man 5 improved so much upon 4s gameplay, everything in 5 feels so much smoother, and thats ignoring the checkpoints which makes the missions 100x better
@@petersmith1591You just suck at it
19:30 this bit had me dying lol
I can’t even lie I was laughing pretty hard once I edited that
Glad someone noticed :D
I’m replaying gta4 and I’m in awe with the beginning stating out as a immigrant new to USA after watching Russian movies like brother (brat) and brother2 (brat2) dead man’s bluff
Even behind enemy lines
With the Sasha character who Nikos likeness is based on
A lot of the original Russian radio is lost to copyright but I just listen to molchat doma albums
Im really immersed into the game I even shout sobaka while killing npcs 😂😂😂 great times
Vse khorosho 🎉🎉🎉
I'm doing a playthrough now on my Xbox One... and 4k does the console version no favors, there's a blur filter during the daytime that you can't toggle off that makes it ROUGH to play at times.
GTA 4 is a Classic, I expect GTA 6 to be even better or the same.
i was wondering if the complete edition that comes with both dlc's on steam is easier cause i found the game way to easy on there
it is better than gta v
for one sole reason
you can get out of the car without turning off the engine
i love gta 4, one of my fav games ever, but to be honest, i like TLaD & TBoGT even more.
they added neat new stuff & improvements and they were so much more fun to play imo!
plus a lot of the missions were incredibly fun & memorable
In regards to the spoiler segment, I'm disappointed that you dismissed the Playboy X & Dwayne feud (and also that you killed Dwayne) as it further adds to the overall message the game was trying to convey in that money and power isn't everything (you get to learn more about Dwayne's backstory if you hang out with him).
When you said theres no contact with Dwayne, untrue! He'll send Niko an email, and you can hangout with him, and if you earn his respect, he'll send backup to help you out.)
Have you discovered the warp zone and one invisible wall dinner?
i love Gta 4. i think the story and characters are better, but i would say that gta 5 is a better game overall. I mean Rockstar always ups their quality when working on their next title and GTA 5 is another example. Though i would've loved it if they added more interiors and kept some more of the ragdoll physics
i wish they would remaster this for current consoles, i would love to own this game again on my ps5, it was my first gta game and i beat it twice, loved it
It's 60fps on Xbox one and later. Get it dude!!
I’ve been playing GTA IV since it came out and I still do :) Without a doubt the best and the most realistic GTA game ever made and it features the most badass protagonist who happens to be Serbian like me :)
Just picked up a series x on sale and the first thing I did was pull out my 360 copy of this game and start playing it lol
So lately ive been getting a lot of GTA 4 videos recommended on my feed. I thoigjt what the hell and bought the complete edition for my pc. Downloaded an optimization mod , now it runs amazing and the game is addicting. The first nigjt i played it , i played it for about 13 hours straight. Great story , PHENOMENAL dialouge , and it feels so real. Notbing feels forced. Great game with great pacing
Bought an old 360 at Goodwill and it had a copy of GTA 4 in the disc tray. Just finished after a week of playing and I much prefer this over GTA 5
Yea the driving is gold! If you can’t play racing games on a manual transmission (don’t apply to GTA4) and without ANY assist what so ever you won’t like the driving! I LOVE the driving it’s more realistic than GTA5
22:12 That’s not even true. If you spare Dwayne he becomes your friend and you can hang out with him as well as getting Playboy’s safe house.
I purchased GTA IV on disk for pc, but it won’t load on my old windows 10 computer 😢
Well if being the best GTA game to this day qualifies it as a masterpiece than yes.
How much is it for series x?
Damn a remaster of gta 4 on ps5/xbox would’ve been fire 🔥
and the part with dwayne and playboy x playboy is the only one who disappears if you kill dwayne but if you kill playboy you get his house and dwayne as a friend and if you hang out with him enough you can call him to send a crew to help you kill people
GTA 4 is a great story and game and my favourite by a large margin compared to all the other games , I still play it today , got like 13 different saves at all my favourite missions,Nico is my favourite GTA character story and to play as as well , all around awesome . GTA 4 is gangster AF
Been playin it the pass few weeks and the story and map depth are insane and the animations is still better than fuckin starfield💀💀
the pc port thing is very true, I have 3600 and 1650 and I AM NOT BEING ABLE TO COMPLETE THE GAME AS IN THE LAST MISSION LITTLE JACOB HELICOPTER CRASHES DUE TO I DONT KNOW WHAT ISSUES, tried locking to 30 and everything
You should use a controller. The only thing you have to do is pressing the A button (Xbox controller) and the spacebar on your keyboard simultaneously. Then it's easy to get into the helicopter.😉
Of course it is
4 has a really good story and Niko was a great character I love this game still hoping for a remaster or even a port like that did with Red Dead Redemption
Bummer that the licensed music keeps getting cut out of the game. :(
Very true, you can get mods to fix that but I didn’t feel like making the effort lmfao
@@JacksGameReviews still a great game. :)
I've given up on trying to play this on PC, Open IV hasn't been worth the work. Playing back compat on Xbox though has been sweet
The wanted system in Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood was good.
Only issue was the way you showed killing Dwayne. Done proper, he turns away and faces the wall, Nikos hand isn't steady, then bam. I personally enjoyed him, but that's partially due to my upbringing
My biggest issue with the actual game was that there really wasnt anything to spend money on, real bummer
All you do is tear apart the game for 20 mins and all the comments are saying how great it is, did everyone not watch the video?
yes it is.
by a long shot.
one of my favourite games of all time.
the remade Liberty City has such a true living feel about it. played so much I stopped using taxis and started getting trains where possible. the view across parts of the city from the train is really impressive. I also like the faded dirty autumn colour pallete of 4 aswell.
I just bought it, i played back in 2012 when i was 6 but god damn, i didnt remember almost anything, this game is a MASTERPIECE
I remember buying GTA 4 disc from shop, but when installed it was San Andreas😅… I a’int complaining because that was my first time playing gta sa…
Love GTA4. Niko was an awesome character. Also liked the DLC's especially the motorcycle gang one. It's a shame the remaster was cancelled
I'm wondering if one day we'll have a Complete HD Edition with IV, V & VI. It would be a Package 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Currently playing through right now but getting bored of missions anyone have any recommendations of fun things to do
I prefer to play gta iv with controller by far. Mouse and keyboard board is so bad lol. It runs great on steam deck with no issues
