lol, it's become clear to everybody but you that I'm just as critical of V as I am of IV. Nice try dill hole.

 

I rarely see you criticise GTA V and I'm on here nearly every day. You might every now and then, but when it comes to GTA IV something about it always seems to piss you off not matter how big or small it is.

 

I don't know who you're trying to convince you're equally critical of both, but I doubt it's anyone who frequents the GTA IV and GTA V forums respectively.

Did everybody returned to Eastern Europe except me and Michigan? Place is so dead...

You just answered your own question - I'd say the fact that Michigan still posts in here is why there are fewer visitors.

 

It gets old opening this topic to find it full of him slobbering all over GTA V. If I wanted to see that, I'd go to the V section.

 

Cheers!

Ehhh no. And if you do, its not as frequent as you do to IV.

 

Even now, you're in a thread titled "Reasons Why GTAIV is better than GTAV" and you still spew out criticism towards the game. The only difference is that u sugar coat it so you don't get called out for it.

Or it´s because people come to the IV section to talk about IV and being tired to talk about all the things that are sh*tty in V instead. If I want to read stuff like that, I go to the V section.

 

Seriously, IV is such a great game with so much stuff to talk about, there´s no need to bring in V everytime.

Then why are you posting in a thread called "Reasons IV is better than V"?

 

 

Wow, that´s a real mind f*ck. But I guess I´m just here for the opportunity. :p;)

No, it's always the very same issues with IV every single time, and I always chime in when someone tries to slam V for one fault, while ignoring that IV has the very same fault... so I'm not sure you could count that as defending V. In fact, many times I've said "If you are saying that this is a problem in V, how are you giving IV a pass for the SAME THING?"

 

You're defensive of IV so of course my posts come off differently to you. I understand.

 

I've even defended IV in its very own "Things you dislike about IV" thread, because someone said something that either wasn't true, or called something a flaw because they misunderstood it.

 

And let's not AGAIN bring up my long history of white-knighting for IV back when it was being torn to shreds by the apparent majority of posters on this forum.

 

The difference between myself as most IV fans (not all, but most) on this forum, is that I can acknowledge that MY favorite GTA game has faults, and I can do so without also saying "...but it's still better than IV!!!!". Seems like the IV fanboys, whenever they DO criticize IV, HAVE to throw in the caveat "...but it's still better than V!".

 

That's called bias.

It seems that I can't open that thread but:

 

 

 

Now we should make a thread of what GTA V took a step backwards from GTA IV, I have a few ideas.

 

GTA V didn't improve in the actual combat, there's just a few moves, that's it. In GTA IV, you can do all types of moves, especially with reversals. The cops in GTA V are unrealistic, they're always on you.

Nope, this is going to be a positive GTA V thread. You IV fanboys have plenty of your own threads already.

 

You were quite a hypocrite right there. You have your own threads so get out of the IV section.

 

There were tonnes of IV bashing threads when IV came out, so IV has every right for it's praising threads now. Also, you seem to praise IV bashing threads in the V sections, what's the point? If you're gonna post there, then don't call out on people who post here.

"MUST FIGHT V BASHERS IN IV SECTIONS HURR!"

If this was the V section I would understand, but noooo, you decide to sh*tpost here!

 

I've seen tonnes of bullsh*t in your points before (pretty much the first time you made a post here - even that post was full of sh*t).

 

You make me cringe so much, ugh!

A different section does mean an entirely different forum, the GTA IV section or GTA V sections aren't private little circlejerks you can all f*ck around in your little bubble of ignorance, the sections are just there to organize the games and threads.

 

Michigan can complain and praise IV in both the IV and V section, hell, if someone praised IV in the V section no one would care but if it's the other way round you get pricks telling you to "go bak to the oonlyne sectshun xdXDxdXDxdX", you can talk about whatever game you want in any section, just don't tell people to get out of a "section".

pls stfu stoney , why do you defend michiganmuscle dude , get out of this section if you are not gonna post anything related to the topic.

 

 

IV had a better shooting mechanics.

 

I agree

 

 

-Theres no "Mission Passed" screen after you pass a mission (thats better imo).

 

-You can save cheats on your phone.

 

-You can call backup.

You can't be serious Stoney? Are you meaning to tell if someone says anything positive about GTA IV in the GTA V forum no one would care? Is that why guys like Fuzzknuckles and John Smith are warm and welcoming and don't care if people give GTA IV some praise even in the GTA V forum? Oh wait...

 

You have to remember this forum generally isn't as active so the same threads typically stay active for much longer. Maybe you notice it because it's more concentrated, but implying it doesn't occur the other way around is well a lie.

 

I've seen enough in the almost 2 years since GTA V's release dealing with various trolls, trouble makers etc to know GTA V fanboys are no better in this regard.

http://gtaforums.com/topic/733749-things-youve-actually-disliked-about-gta-iv/

 

So what's your explanation for this thread then? I see plenty of posts from that thread where GTA IV fans discuss the things they don't like about GTA IV without dragging GTA V into their points. :/

IV has a flawless protagonist.

I mean, Tommy is my favorite, but he could be described as simple and idealized, he doesn't have faults, he's perfect in every way.

Trevor is ...well...your nightmare, even though in many senses he's is my dream character, he's lazily written and really cheap.

Niko?

I can't think anything bad about him, he's badass, he's incredibly well written, he lives in the best city and is complimented by the best gameplay, he would be even better if he had fingerless gloves and the beta haircut.

 

 

f*ck, i need a native trainer ASAP.

Completly off topic:

Does someone ever heard the unused V mission jingles?

They are really badass, don't know what the hell was R* thinking when they didn't used them, is like replacing the Soviet Connection theme with Roman's farting sounds.

 

Is also worthy to mention the unused music in IV that was supposed to sound when Niko died.

(Sorry about the off topic post and not linking the songs, mobile here)

MAKE ME.

 

Then they can easily say the same f*cking answer:

MAKE US!

 

 

Yep, there was tons of IV bashing when it came out - and GUESS WHAT? I was one of the few people defending the game from it, and I'm doing the same thing here with V.

Wrong, you're more or less talking sh*t about IV and praising V.

GUESS WHAT?! You've changed!

 

And I'm not fighting V bashers. I'm fighting idiots like you who say illogical things when comparing the two games.

I agree that V gets a lot of hate, but, you take it a bit too far.

 

 

You guys can sit around and circle jerk onto a poster of Niko Bellic all you want, I REALLY don't give a sh*t how much you love IV,

Then don't f*cking bother posting here and ignore our circle jerk if you REALLY don't give a sh*t.

 

it's a great game and I don't blame you, but when it comes down to trying to explain WHY you like it more than V, the moment you start spewing BULLsh*t is when I chime in.

LOL

 

 

Why do I bother?

 

Because I want to make sure you zealots don't have any sway on what Rockstar does with GTA VI. It's people like you who ruin video games because you can't let go of the past.

Actually, as much as I agree bashing is a bit harsh, it helps Rockstar improve and makes them learn from their mistakes.

 

And please, please, PLEASE give me some examples of "bullsh*t in my points". If you can't, then SHUT UP.

My pleasure:

I can easily find bullsh*t in your posts, but let's start with your first one:

I actually quoted you back then but you seemed to have ignore me:

 

 

 

This thread makes me laugh, and cry at the same time. I laugh at some of the blatantly ridiculous bullsh*t being spewed to make V look bad (PC shadows vs console shadows... Give me a f*cking break and compare PC to PC).

They did actually compare PC to PC.

I didn't even bother reading the rest.

 

It was referring to this:

http://pikbox.ru/img/15/20150416072103570Comparison.jpg

 

Now here's the full quote:

 

 

 

 

This thread makes me laugh, and cry at the same time. I laugh at some of the blatantly ridiculous bullsh*t being spewed to make V look bad (PC shadows vs console shadows... Give me a f*cking break and compare PC to PC).

 

I cry for the future of our planet if the people writing this bullsh*t ever have any meaningful impact on society.

 

Isn't it funny since that was EXACTLY what you've been doing the entire time?

 

You can hate V for its many faults. I won't argue. But making sh*t up to smear it, to make it look worse than it is, to unfairly compare it to IV by casting it in an intentionally bad light, that kind of ridiculous bullsh*t needs to stop.

Oh the irony because that's exactly what you've been doing

 

If you can't criticize V based on thugs hat are actually wrong with it (car mass, AI traffic bulldozing you, the neutering of damage in favor of first person mode), then shut the f up already. I'm so sick of reading ridiculous lies.

 

Gun sound better in IV? HAHAHAHAHA, IVs gun sounds were the worst in any game I've ever played.

I've shot quite a few firearm (a I mean, quite a few), IV's is a bit closer, but funny thing is we still haven't moved on from this discussion too much.

You started off bad, and now you're even worse.

 

All you ever did, from day f*cking one was spill bullsh*t so you can feel better.

What else have you exactly achieved? Virtually nothing.

 

I mean, WOW, MAN, SINCE 19TH OF APRIL YOU'VE BEEN WASTING YOUR TIME HERE.

Let's get back on topic here.

 

I like how some of the decisions in GTA IV would make a impact to the story. Some were small, some were big. The ending is probably the best example. Do you want to kill the person that betrayed you , and get your revenge? Or do you want to work with the person who betrayed you, so you can make more money? Do you want to kill the person that ambushed you and your team back in the war, and one of the main reasons why you came to Liberty City, so you can find him? Or do you want to let him live? The decisions also give unique dialogue, and there is special execution scenes as well.

They were originally in V, each character has their own mission complete theme. If I knew who the hell decided to scrap it, I will PUNCH him in the face. ;) Edited by The_Ghost

I absolutely love this feature. Especially after "Have a heart". It remembers me that this wasn´t exactly a heroic action.

I also noticed that Bleed Out has a more special music to it after you complete it, it doesn't seem to play after any other mission.

They sure do, but the player's (protagonist's) shadow doesn't get casted by other vehicle lights. You should check what you're smoking.
