Lack of vehicle customization, tanks, parachutes. City being mostly boring brown-grey everywhere because of the filter they used. Lack of countryside. Bad driving physics. These are the main things IV was criticized for. Combat and driving are the best things about GTA imo, and GTA IV has the best/most detailed combat and driving so I'm happy to do a lot of it. I don't find missions repetitive at all since there's so much freedom and variation allowed in how you approach them (unlike in GTA V where every step of every mission is heavily scripted and restricted so they play out the same every single time with no room for creativity). I get there's things people don't like about the game but the gameplay itself (eg shooting, fighting, driving, movement, climbing, interaction with environment and NPCs, player freedom in and out of missions, police chases etc) is extremely detailed, fun and un-restrictive.

I don't like the driving. Some vehicles are good but a lot of them have bad turn radius and feel too heavy. Some missions have freedom but they are all simple shootouts in the end. The lack of big action missions made it boring. Anyway these are just the things a lot of people didn't like and complained about. lynx09 and Jinx. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are great, I really love GTA V too, but in terms of realism R* really did a fantastic job creating the best AI and physics I have ever seen, the most close I have seen is RDR2, and again another Rockstar game, I have something clear, nobody can beat them except themselves, I would like GTA VI as a mix of GTA IV realism, AI and story and GTA V more arcade gameplay, in RDR2 they mixed that and for me it worked so good, hoping they do the same in GTA VI with more improvements Jinx. and Emmi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horse riding is mid realistic-arcade, is not easy as driving in GTA V but not so realistic like driving in GTA IV, if you play RDR1 you can notice that RDR1 horse riding is more arcade than RDR2, but RDR2 horse riding is not fully realistic, it's mixed between arcade and realistic, that's what I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheatz/Trickz Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) It is the most boring if you are turned away by anything with depth and/or a laser focused vision on what it wants to be. Because while we all love San Andreas, it wasn’t the most focused of games, Rockstar really did just kind of throw in sh*t for the sake of it, especially by the end just to make it as expansive as possible without regard for focus. It worked because there wasn’t anything to compare it to then. What did we get? GTA clone after GTA clone. Volition tried it with Saints Row, then tried again, and again, and again, and the unfocused "throw it all in" approach never brought them the acclaim Rockstar enjoyed after San Andreas. The initial backlash to IV was because certain people expected a high definition San Andreas, and they got something entirely different. They got a game that tried to be something more than just the same thing with nicer graphics. I’ll say IV could have still been what it is without sacrificing things like car customisation, or burglary, or a countryside...lol, it would have been nice to see these things, but nothing is perfect. I wanted to see burglary back in V too, maybe 6? Regardless, it’s fair enough to not like the direction IV went in, nothing wrong with preferring the shallower, casual approach that San Andreas, its clones and indeed, GTA V chose for the sake of open world mindless mayhem, but how can you not respect Rockstar for dialling in the focus and creating something much more unique and exceptional, both in story and gameplay, like it or not, to the clones that were over-saturating the gaming space at the time? GTA IV is timeless because of this, it remains a one of a kind game. San Andreas does too, but only because it got there first, right time and place. But IV was pure intent, it had a drive and a direction that very few other games benefit from. In the end, no other game succeeds as confidently as IV, its flaws a result of a failed but real effort to be exceptional. There’s really nothing else like it. Compared to GTA V, a game that is a very long way from being bad, its still more numerous flaws are a result of a lack of conviction on Rockstar’s part, with certain aspects, they didn’t fail, they simply didn’t try. They returned again to the approach of throwing sh*t at the wall. V succeeds because Rockstar can get away with this. They can make a game that is half amazing, and half mediocre, like V, and win. But should they just because they can? Damn, that didn’t start out as an essay.

ICantReadYourMind Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I agree with this very much. IV doesn't have the excitement or thrill you'd get in a normal GTA game. People say "oh you dont understand such a deep game", but seriously, for a franchise like GTA, this feels off.

Crowhazard Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I mean… I can understand why people might look at IV as the most boring entry. It has more missions than V, sure, but a lot of the early mission content is very repetitive. A lot of it is slow-paced as Niko gradually settles into Liberty City and takes on random jobs from local crooks. Go to the mission objective marker, collect this, drive there, shoot this NPC, drive back. It only really begins to open up (in my humble opinion) once the deal with Elizabeta goes wrong and “Michelle” breaks up with you. Gameplay-wise there are no aircraft and side activities like bowling never captivated me (despite IV being my favourite entry). Tryve1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
