GTA 4 - Great atmosphere, humour and tone. There were also many QoL changes from the previous games that made this game an overall better experience than the previous ones. However it does kinda fall into the same traps as older GTAs, eventually boiling down the gameplay to “drive here, shoot guy, escape police, get cash” or “drive here, follow some guy, shoot him and his goons” etc. Detracts from the experience but still solid overall. Niko might be one of the best protagonists btw (but that’s not saying much)
TLaD: Just GTA 4 but worse in literally ever way. The only character I liked (partially at that) was Stubbs. I liked the new weapons though.
TBoGT: Pretty much just a better version of the base game but that was the worst ending in a game i have ever played and i'm NOT joking. Yusuf best character and missions btw

Played on Steam sometime in 2020 - 2022. Did not finish any of the games - did not start either Episode from Liberty City; did play through at least Playboy X vs. Dwayne Forge.
One of the high watermarks for me in being immersed into a game world. One of my most favorite gaming moments: leaving a safehouse, walking into a building across from the safehouse, going up the stairs to stand on the rooftop and hear a random preacher talk about the end of the world.

Huge step up from the previous main installment San Andreas. Have not 100%'ed the game as frankly alot of the side missions are repetetive and tedious. But main story is great :D
I know some people have trouble getting the game to start, but frankly i didn't face any major issue. So i guess i was lucky.
The switch to RGL is annoying to say the least....

This should be a 5. But the PC port (even though its had a lot of work in the past few years) is still fucking fried. It can and will probably crash. The bugs are still running rampant and modding this game is like gambling you may or may not get fucked. The story though is peak. The gameplay is fucking great too the cars just handle like shit despite it being "realistic". Very depressing game but hey liberty city (NYbeef) is a depressing fucking location so as it should be. Niko is a great character and the whole cast is dope. You got a lot of dudes that you want to murk but a lot of people you care about. And the dlc ? mann TLAD is just badass and TBoGT is such a massive improvement over the base game and the club life style is just a fun addition. This is one of the best GTA titles out there. And if for whatever reason you don't or can't do a run I do have a chronologically spliced game movie modded up and at 4k ultra 60 fps here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZSV6Ef0rTR5j5MDmYRMj8FcJXweuB7kR
I've twice given this game a go.
I can't get into it. I can't be bothered to stay with it long enough to find what I am sure are many things about it that make it a classic.
I can see what people enjoy about it, I guess, but it's just too brash, too crude, and not a nice world to spend time in.
I'm sure it's something wrong with me, and it's my loss.
