GTA IV features that i miss

QUB3D,the more addicting part of the game than the game itself.

The lock on cursor-I just like how it looks and you can see your opponent's health.

Hangman's NOOSE-Self explainitory.

I also miss the old drive-by. Seriously, what's the point with shooting your $1 000 000 car's windows?

I have to agree with the features which you also miss; including the accessible buildings and the drive-by shooting positions. One thing I also miss -- which isn't necessarily a "feature" -- is the fact that everyone would spend their time at the airport, as it was one of the most prime locations on the map.

 

I suppose that wouldn't be possible now because GTA V's map is much, much larger than GTA IV's. I hope they implement some of these features, though.

i don't miss the airport at all, it was fun at the begining but there wasn't much to do. i had fun spinning on the ramps but i always thought it was a real waste as there was so many more interesting places. I'm really glad the action is focused around all LS now

Also the ability to use the baseball bat whilst riding a bike. That made TLAD races a lot more fun.

 

Oh my.. I really do miss the vehicle in the final picture. I hope it's implemented in the future, but what usually happens is a new vehicle is implemented into GTA V and then everyone purchases it immediately, thus making the vehicle quickly become boring and stale.

Driving, better cars, amazing physics, and the motion blur made it feel like you were driving super fast.

I miss the old Turismo and Coquette, they were my favourite cars and in GTA5 I don't like either.

 

I don't miss GTA4 handling though in general, it was awful compared to 5.

 

Even though pool could have been better I'd still appreciate it in GTA5, wouldn't mind snooker either but I can't see that happening.

I miss so much from gta iv mp:

 

- Deathmatch customization: You could choose Cops On/Off, Specific Weapons/Weapon Classes, etc.

- You could choose your team in TDM

- Cars didn't slide all over the place for absolutely no apparent reason

- The Kick player and the Suggest Next Mode features

- Deathmatches at the Prison were fun and seriously engaging.

- Weapons and Aiming system was superior

- Being able to pick up health and armor in free mode

- Cops N Crooks

- Rolling was useless ( I hate this rolling crap )

- Handling of character was superior also; I've noticed now if I run into something there seems to be some kind of magnetic attraction between my character and the object.

 

I miss legacy GTA features also:

Ambulance, Vigilante, Firetruck, RC side missions, I always felt like a boss whenever I completed these!

 

I get pissed off sometimes because they keep changing things that took me years to master.

I miss Friendly Fire options. Turning it OFF in freemode meant you could launch players around the local area with rockets, but not killing them.

 

Physics baby.

 

We played tennis with randoms spawning in. Put a bus in the airport car park for a net.

I miss how everyones username and dot was a certain color.

Yes!!! Get shot by the green guy, GET THE GREEN GUY

Your football team gets beat by a blue team? GET THE BLUE GUY

Homophobic? GET PINK

 

GTAO: get shot unexpectedly, respawn 10 seconds later, far away, with no idea which white dot you're after.

 

Update: pink dot. No, red, no red with skull...IT KEEPS CHANGING

I miss my biker chick from TLAD.

 

And being able to change your characters looks at any time.

Weapon sounds, Recoil and Drive By mechanics. Interiors are nice too. Other than that, V all the way. I hated the driving (No I wasn't bad at it either..) & that damn airport..

I hated the driving camera in GTA IV, I'm so glad they decided to center it, but everything else, I agree with. It's stupid that we have to get out, punch the air like a retard, get back in, and back out, in order to leave the car on. How hard would it be to implement leaving the engine on, or turning it off by holding triangle? As for the lack of interiors, I can understand that sacrifice so we can have the shiny graphics we have now, but here's hoping that the interiors we already have will be unlocked on PS4/XboxOne/PC. I really do miss the hospital though, but I heard that caused major controversy, which might be why it isn't in GTA V.

 

What I miss most about GTA IV is the physics. The flying through the windshield animation is too fast, and usually kills you in this game, while in GTA IV, it's slower and looks and feels cooler. Sure, dying on impact may be more realistic, but it doesn't always mean it's fun. I do, however, enjoy the ragdoll button, but never understood why it isn't online. Imagine having 16 players in a lobby all ragdolling on each other. :lol:

 

Me and a fellow forum friend were actually talking about this a while back. I don't understand why they decided to take out simple things, like the crouch button, jumping in place, holding on to ledges, etc. The stealth option is absolutely pointless, but if they must keep it in, how hard would it be to hold L3 to crouch and tap for stealth? I remember in GTA IV if we got bored, we would stand there and hop in place, it just looked funny. lol

 

EDIT: @PoeticWhisper, you actually liked the weapon sounds in GTA IV? The ones in GTA V are WAY better, they sound at least a little more realistic. The pistol in GTA IV sounded like toast popping up.

I miss the playing the a 10 lap "Stars in your eyes" GTA Race (you know the one that goes around Times Square) and everyone getting blown up by a suicide bomber with 1 grenade on the first corner. Those were the days....

I miss the freedom I felt playing multiplayer, unlike the restricted Online we currently have.

In what way are you restricted?

Think he means "free mode had user preference settings in 4, doesn't in 5"

I miss being able to pick up small items. I used to throw dildoes at friends.

I enjoyed the gun souns a lot in IV. They actually sounded different and were loud. The only assault rifle in V that sounds different in the AK. The rest sound the exact same (only difference is the rate of fire). The Deagle in GTA IV sounds miles better than all the pistols in GTA V. I just prefer lounder gun sounds. The ones in V just don't do it for me. I also think the blood system was better in V. (minus the bullet holes). The blood itself looked much better. However, neither game comes close to Red Dead redempions blood system. That was beautiful <3
