Easily the worst GTA game. It's like they took GTA 3 and just removed everything that makes it a fun game.
The Lost and Damned felt more like GTA3. The main game has zero replayability. And the ballad of gay tony is just proto-GTAV.
>>740243908>>740244114Yes but the common law on this board is to pick the shittiest possible game in a series and praise it as being misunderstood and the actual best
>worst radio>worst missions>worst protagonist>worst star system
>>740243908>waaaaaa im a toddler who can understand the storyKek. Almost feel sorry for you.
>>740243908the whole budget went to RAGE. it was a tech demo essentially
>>740243908>removed everything that makes it a fun game.in gta that's shooting people, and driving cars. both were improved in 4. Shooting people in gta4 is easily the best in the series. Cars take getting used to and aren't realistic but there is something "authentic" about it compared to other games. Plus running people over looks amazing, crash physics too.

>>740244391>niko bellic goes to america to find the guy that betrayed his platoon>100 missions of driving from point A to point B while shooting from your car, OR, shooting at NPC's hiding behind objects>niko bellic finds the guy that betrayed his platoonthis story could have been told in 30 minutes, but they stretched it out for 25 hours

Roman is one of the few video game characters I've ever cared about in my life.
>>740244538Yeah, you tend to hide behind objects in a cover shooter.
>>740245482>you tend to hide behind objects in a cover shooter.you dont hide behind objects, the enemies do. you have to move around them because they just stay behind pillars
>>740244278>Shit is attracted to shitYou don't say...
Can't go back to the old games after playing this, they improved the driving so much
>>740244114>The Lost and Damned felt more like GTA3Yes but you have to play as a jew so 0/10
>>740243908>by far the best driving in the series>by far the worst [everything else]>good driving never came back
>>740244391gta iv is my in the series, but the story is overrated dogshit lol. it stops being good right after the puerto rican connection, and then it falls off a cliff after three leaf clover
the writing in SA is way choppier because they removed a lot of content and references to said content after the voice lines were recorded so you have sentences that just end with an obvious abrupt cut and it sounds weirdthe four dragons casino is the cringe leddit writing part of the game and none of the other games have that
>that mission in the beginning where you slowly follow a guy to the top floor of his apartment>fail the mission because the game jukes you by having him walk directly through the first apartment building to get to the actual apartment building and you just lose if you were too far behind to notice him leaveI always forget that shit. I once failed it because fucking Roman called me and it alerted the guy I was following and I lost him. I think that's the only mission in the game where the scripted call can actually affect the mission
>>740252151are you talking about shadow by any chance? no shit, but im pretty sure you can run after the guy and the mission doesnt fail and theres unique dialogue for it. makes the mission go by faster and not such a slog. https://youtu.be/3Awpo6ZzFgI?t=424
>>740252340yeah that's the mission. It's not an auto fail but I panicked after the dude got spooked and lost sight of him. Some of the missions are kind of finicky so I still stuck to stealth when I restarted the mission.I didn't know about the unique dialogue and set pieces that happen if you do chase him down. Pretty cool that they added all those details
>>740245536They do that too
>>740244423>in gta that's shooting people, and driving cars. both were improved in 4.To the average thrid world brown beast dwelling on /v/, what matters is not the refinement of core gameplay features, but ubisoft style content bloat.This board, full of brown hellspawn, worships San Andreas, which employs the design approach that later Ubisoft games would adopt, which this board hates.
