Official things you actually dislike about GTA IV thread

[Kampret]

One other thing I really dislike about IV is the AI.. I wish I could drive around realistically without some idiot in a Cavalcade hit the back of my nice Turismo.

 

The AI in IV is so bipolar. There's times when it's very smart, but there's times when it's completely dumb. But, hey, atleast it's better than those robotic V AI.

-when you crash out of your car, you f*cking fly in the air and bounce on the road 10 times. TBOGT improved this though

 

i actually liked this lol.

While I really like IV (only beaten out by VCS as my favourite) the cover system is pretty sh*tty, like the post above me the AI is bipolar, one time Roman kicked my ass in pool the next minute he started to wander into traffic! The missions near the end do get REALLY repetitive (go to point A, shoot some sh*t up, go to point B, shoot some sh*t up etc...) I did thoroughly enjoy IV for the most part.

at Luis's apartment, the stupid AI sometimes drive and hit one of my cars in the parking space

I actually liked that, especially at the the start of the story: Luis's boss is indebted to the mob, his mother indebted to a loan shark, his friends are accussing him of forgetting his roots and to top it all off, he can't even park his car without a passing taxi knocking the door off.

At Niko's Bohan apartment, cops steal my cars in order to chase me after killing the preacher

I also wish there was more space to store cars. When I did Stevies car thefts I wished I had more room for some of the cars I wanted to keep. I see no reason why Niko couldn't had a garage somewhere.

How you can't use ANY of the DLC stuff with Niko or the TBOGT stuff with Johnny. I don't like Luis and it pissed me off how he gets a Noose tank, parachute, and sticky bombs which neither Niko or Johnny can have. -.-

Niko and johnny are so badass, they don't need sticky bombs, parachutes, and a noose tank.

No freaks in Star Junction irl Time Square has a lot of freaks it could have added more to the city spening a nice night out in LC then seeing the freaks in Star Junction.

Yes the Rhino was supposed to return in TLAD. Do you have any ideas or thoughts how it would work in the story or general gameplay?

 

Cheers.

Maybe to break into the prison and kill billy?

[Zello]

Would have been nice to have taxi missions in IV its LC lots of cabs everywhere would have been fun being a cab driver in LC maybe some random passenger pulls out a gun on you all of the possibilities...

[Lethal Vaccine]

When will these f*cking Pigeons end?!

 

Seriously...

 

150 down, 50 more to go. Worst f*cking part of IV. Nothing compares to how tedious and annoying this nonsense is...

I never even bothered with all that.

[B Dawg]

I only bothered doing Seagulls in TLAD because there were only 50

That doesn't seem like a bad idea. There could have been a mission where you had to steal it from a government building.

 

Cheers.

It was the graphics in general i disliked a bit, but it got fixed in EFLC pretty perfect, it's also nothing big - but you can clearly see that EFLC has way better graphics than IV. I understand it was the first game of this kind and it happens, i love GTA IV, to me it has everything a good game needs.

[Lethal Vaccine]

Well, I go for 100% Completion every GTA game, with perfect stats and a vehicle collection. So I am not stopping at 97.50% Completion and not doing the 200 Pigeons for 2.50% Completion to finish the game once and for all. Besides, the entire game to 100% is gonna take LESS than 60 hours. Probably 56-57 hours...

EFLC basically removed:

1. The color filter (green-grey on GTA IV, yellow on TLAD; that's why TBoGT looked clean and glamorous).

2. Blur filter on consoles (most apparent on PS3)

 

And also reduced:

1. DoF and motion blur (reduced the blur effect on [P] filter-Definition off)

2. The overall lack of saturation in the game.

Johnny can use a kind of sticky bomb too, but the reality is Luis is the best HD protagonist, he's not a crybaby like Niko nor wannabe hardcore 666 from hell like that methhead Johnny. I hope Luis doesn't make an apparison to GTA V because R* will probably kill him.

Pipe Bomb is just a grenade with smoke, a home-made grenade. And how is he a wannabe

I would have liked to see that in the single player, but definitely not online. We see how tanks on GTA Online went, I wouldn't have wanted them to be in TLAD's MP.

Probably the parking space thing, other than that, it's a perfect game, like srsly

Here to make peace my opinion has not changed but I'm just gonna stick to the v section now for old times sake THATS JUST MY OPINION LOL

Yeah, he'll most likely be gone again shortly...

 

O.T. - I found another thing that bothered me today. After shooting one of those horrendous pigeons and getting that annoying, but easy, one star wanted level...I noticed NPC drivers going ape sh*t and running into me and just acting totally stupid. Niko's body was literally trapped under some asshole car that ran into me and the car wouldn't move, therfore I got busted and had to reload the game and do a few pigeons over again. When Niko falls to the ground when getting slightly bumped by a car he takes so long to get up, he also falls down slow...Meanwhile cops are running up on me. It's really annoying. I just wanted to use the RPG on the pile up of idiotic cars ramming into me and driving backward and over the guardrail and on top of rocks, some cars even flipped over. They literally go ape sh*t...

They also updated explosion/fire effects in EFLC.
