wiizardii Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Like the one for SA, what's your complete opinion on GTA IV. Love it, hate it? I hope this thread lasts long enough to be the official ''love or hate IV'' thread as I wish of it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamesBoy316 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The story is great. There was dark/serious moments, funny moments, unexpected moments, badass moments, all that stuff. Also, it was nice being able to make decisions, some were big, some were small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperGTFan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I loved it ALOT. Only would be 100% if they expanded the conflict between Niko and Dimitri, and his relationship with Karen and Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Loved it from beginning to end. The whole story plays out like a TV series and coupled with the intersecting plot perspectives from EFLC it's not only the best GTA story IMO, but one of the best from any video game I've played. It's not perfect, but Niko's journey from when he's fresh off the boat up until he's finally buried his past demons is truly inspirational.

UshaB Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Loved it from beginning to end. It was a very beautifully crafted piece of work they did. I wonder what happened when they started writing GTA V.

slimeball supreme Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 In my eyes, it was brilliant. Had a lot of fun with it, but it also had its very gritty/sad moments in twined. It was like the perfect balancing act. Algonquin Assassin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamesBoy316 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It's a shame how the story in GTA V turned out. Too bad they focused on GTA Online more, because the story had potential. But like I said, the story in GTA IV is great, it's well written and paced. theGTAking101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfennekin Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I hated it the first time I played it in 2009, when I bought the complete edition I played through the main story again and loved it since. Even though I love it, I'll never 100% it though. Too many damn pigeons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I actually took the time to complete them, I would never do them again unless I have to. Ehh..no i hated the pigeons. Aside from IV it was a really grate game. But in order to achieve 100% you had to find and shoot every pigeon in LC. There was just so many...Then to do the same thing in EFLC to get 100% completion It's like oh hell no. I don't have enough time and days to find all 100 pigeons. Forget you R* wasn't there an easier way to get 100% completion?

Misunderstood Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It's the best GTA story ever. Niko's journey is very interesting. I know Rockstar did the whole rag to riches story through the whole 3D era but IV takes it to a new level. I really felt completely broke and worthless during the Hove Beach part of the story. Doing sh*tty jobs for Vlad at Mickey's bar. Working the cab business with Roman. Dealing with petty assholes like Darden. It all felt very low class and was a nice start to the game. I loved the Broker/Dukes part of the game specifically for that feeling. The way Niko changes Roman's whole life the moment he enters is great. We get introduced to a great cast of characters like Bruice, Little Jacob and Faustin. I like how Niko slowly rises up from killing Darden to killing Vlad which ends up leading him to Faustin/Dimitri and gets Roman shot up. Then it finishes up perfectly with Dimitri doing you know what. IV's whole story is great but the Broker/Dukes part is the best part. theGTAking101, slimeball supreme and Algonquin Assassin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a big fan of doing them, but I decided to bite the bullet so to speak and aimed for a 100% completion last year. Even though the reward is poor they do lead you to places you might not necessarily think of going. I was surprised just how much of Liberty City I saw actually that I never saw before by killing them. Uncle Vlad and AuSsIeThUnDeR36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneLibertonian Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I completely loved the story. It's one of the best stories in gaming together with MGS2, TLOU, and RDR. I see that the story is all about Rockstar's take on modern America and it deeply showed the reality of it through Niko's eyes. It's deeper than what it actually is. It is a message to how deeply America is in a sombre, and humorish take on it. I have never seen a story like it since MGS2 which conveyed the same message. Politics, corruption, greed. It is not just about the capitalistic freedom of America, but both showed it's negative characteristics.

Homicidal Hipster Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Love love.. big love. the things I wanna say have basically already been covered by the other posters.. So I'll just keep it short.. it rocks. the grittiness, the emotional attachment you feel for the characters, its all great. no matter how many times I play through the story I'll never get sick of Niko's journey through Liberty city.

Lilіth Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 -snip- Sums it up pretty well. IV has done an exceptional job to immerse and relate to the characters, and bring up emotions for the main characters and antagonists. It wasn't over-the-top, it was somewhat reasonably realistic without taking away from the GTA feel. The moral choices, were a nice addition too, considering that you were able to find out what happened to the ones you spared after a while.

SmokesWithCigs Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 i'm not a story guy so i have no opinion. i care about the other stuff like assasantions,taking care of pegerinos "problems" shootouts races etc. screw that dark story with an unhappy ending. its enough to make an emo want to cut himself. I'm indifferent. Don't hate it and don't love it either. Tbh it could've been shorter, some parts felt like a tedious drag. But altleast it's not cheesy like V's plot. For the most Part, we were not Bitches for the Government in IV. really? as i recall karen an united paper aka the IAA had niko by the balls. i don't know what game you were playing. ever since sa all protags except for johhny and luis wound up getting caught up with the alphabet boys and g-men.
