finalmente joguei, e estou encantado com o jogo, gostei demais. a temática é muito legal, os personagens fora o Niko (que é excelente) são muito bons e o Roman é FANTÁSTICO.

Discordo de qualquer tentativa de dizer que esse jogo é superior ao gta V, pra mim ele é pior em quase tudo, MAS isso não quer dizer que o jogo seja ruim, ou algo do tipo, pra época ele foi absurdo, faz jus ao nome de GTA.

Achei a mecânica de escolhas capitais em determinados momentos do jogo muito interessante, gostei muito do sistema de sair com os amigos do Niko, dirigir no jogo é MUITO realista e quando pega jeito fica bom demais.

o principal ponto negativo foi que na versão que joguei (Xbox One versão 360) não tem checkpoint nas missões, perdeu/falhou/morreu: faz tudo de novo. MAS mesmo isso que me incomodou muito não me tirou a vontade de jogar, joguei muito, me diverti e foi uma experiência MUITO BOA.

Nova Iorque é irada demais.

DISCLAIMER: IF YOU PLAY THIS GAME ON PC, MAKE SURE TO GET RADIO RESTORED and FUSION FIX MODS. When R* re released this game on PC, they cut like more than half of the songs from the base game and DLCs due to licenses expiring. Fusion Fix helps optimize the game better and adds missing visuals.

I pretty much loved almost everything about this game except for the actual missions themselves.

I loved the interactivity of everything in the game. It's especially notable in combat when you see enemies ragdoll different depending on where they're hit or shot but the details go beyond that to just tiny details around the environment like being able to chip and break walls or windows which is really impressive for GTA game and also just makes the game feel much more satisfying.

The story was also probably my favorite so far out of all the GTA games I've beaten, its the most grounded and believable story while still retaining a lot of comedic elements of the previous games. I really like Niko as a character and especially near the end of the game, I really was invested in how the game led to where it went depending on what choices I'd made earlier in the story.

I really enjoy the design of Liberty City, I really miss the more closely condensed design of GTA maps where everything feels close together and more detailed oppose to Los Santos in GTA V that feels like a pain in the ass to drive through because its a lot more vertically positioned rather than horizontal like Liberty City.

The radios in this game are amazing as well, so many bangers. I thought it would be worth mentioning since you spend so much time in GTA driving around, listening to the radio.

Like I said earlier, the biggest gripe I have with this game is the missions. Almost all of them feel the exact same and do genuinely end up feeling like errands rather than something that I feel genuinely invested and interested into getting into. Especially with how many different characters the game introduces, it makes a lot of missions feel trivial and kind of like a slog to keep the player busy. Almost every mission is just (Drive here-> Kill this guy->Drive away from cops-> earn $___). It's very dull.

I also like the idea of the friend reputation system but in execution, it again feels more like an actual chore to manage rather than something that adds extra depth to the game. However, listening to the dialogue between friends is always intriguing, it just can become annoying when you feel the need to continuously keep up the reputation of the all the random ass friends you've gotten throughout the game.

Great game overall though, it's a game I played a lot of online of as a kid but I never beat until now.

Pra mim, o que mais me cativa nesse jogo é a imersão. É maravilhoso a atmosfera que foi desenvolvida aqui, é uma verdadeira viagem para o universo do jogo! Você sente que tudo é vivo, orgânico e natural. A cidade é viva.

A campanha é boa (pra um GTA), mesmo não sendo a melhor, porém faltou mais variação nas missões, como disse o Funky, o jogo se baseia em: "vá lá e mate aquele cara!". Entretando, o gunplay nesse jogo é incrível e releva a repetição, mas isso só se você sair rushando nos inimigos, pois a mecânica de cover é bem travadona aqui. E graças a física Euphoria, cada morte e acontecimento é CINEMATOGRÁFICO.

grand theft auto 4... man. what a game. it really feels like they don't make them like this anymore. gta 5 was a massive disappointment to me in the areas that are my favorite aspects of this game. tone, narrative, characters. the things you think about when you put a game down, 4 rocks with that shit. 4 is so much darker than 5, but not in an edgy way that feels over the top. it's also hilarious, the humor they do use is perfectly done. the radio specifically has some great bits. the tone is masterfully handled. liberty city feels so disgusting, and you find yourself so captivated in seeing niko attempt to live the american dream. the gameplay of 4 has of course aged, with the driving feeling particularly awful after experiencing the buttery smooth driving you get in 5. the radio also fucking sucks now, they destroyed the best stations. i understand licenses run out or whatever, but man did it suck. and the gunplay isn't nearly as good as 5's, it's very clunky. overall, the gameplay holds up worse than 5. so why do i rank this beauty higher than that title? soul. it sounds pretentious, and it is, but this game has tangible soul. i get so immersed in the world of 4 whenever i boot it up. the sound design and the visuals are still stellar to this day. i can only hope 6 takes more lessons from 4 than 5. but hey, who are we kidding? 80% of gta 6 will probably be gta online content anyway lol.

as much as i've sucked this game off though, i need to bring up the absolute worst part of it. the ending mission. you can not beat it if your game is running at 60 fps. that is not an exaggeration, you are literally, physically incapable of beating it. that is so fucking annoying. the missions sucks anyway, it takes forever, it is super easy to fail at any part of the mission, and i can't be fucked to do it after like 6 failures in a row. skill issue me all you want, i'm not playing that shit. youtube exists for the cutscenes.
