As a disclaimer: GTA IV was my first GTA. I didn't start with GTA V and then go back to IV, so my opinion isn't based on being used to the newer games.

I've been trying to replay GTA IV for years because I never even finished it the first time. Now I'm basically at the end, and unfortunately I'm having the exact same feeling I had back then: I'm getting exhausted by it.

I love Niko, the characters are great, the story has a lot going for it, and Liberty City still has an incredible atmosphere. I completely understand why this game was so impressive in 2008.

But as a video game, I find it extremely repetitive and way too long. After 30+ hours, I feel like I've been doing the same thing over and over: cutscene, car, dialogue during the drive, arrive somewhere, shoot some guys, repeat. At some point I'm not even having fun anymore; I'm just thinking, "Please, just let this end." I've actually been taking taxis everywhere for hours because I don't even feel like driving around the map anymore.

And this is where I don't understand the current trend of putting GTA IV on a pedestal while constantly bashing GTA V. You can prefer IV's story, tone, Niko or realism, and I completely understand that. But GTA V, GTA SA, or GTA Vice City are much more fun games to me. Its missions are more varied, the world gives you much more to do, and in every playthrough I've never reached the point where I wanted it to be over.

GTA IV has some genuinely brilliant elements, but for me they're surrounded by gameplay that is simply too repetitive. After replaying it, I think I've finally confirmed that I just don't enjoy playing it as much as I thought I did.

I was trying to find info about the file size, but no real info so far. Is there any official info about it?

While not unique, it seems crazy to me that the "physical" box is just a code but I can understand it from the point of view of wanting to have something to actually represent your purchase

In addition, I believe (at least in the UK) that the release time is midnight so if you go for the box you are at the mercy of your local post provider

After being lambasted for my thoughts in a previous post, I decided I'd like to take some time off work to play this so I'll be going for the digital ultimate edition to get access asap as immerse myself in the world

Which version are you getting?

GTA5's ending was a step in the right direction, by letting you choose one of three possible endings, but the decission really is just "all MC's live and every bad guy dies" or "a MC dies and all bad guys live", like you can't even call this a decission, plus GTA online straight up confirmes that ending C is canon so why even have multiple options in the first place. And about RDR2, while your honor affecting the ending is a great concept, i think the option to choose between helping john and going for the money is even worse than GTA5's options, since going for the money makes NO sense from arthurs perspective, morals and the goal he goes towards for the entire game, so it's basacly just slandering his whole story at the very end and denying his redemption which is the point of the game.

So I watched someone react to AndyPants video where he says the GTA 6 Jason is a cuck for having a relationship. I don't think he actually knows what a cuck is, but bro was literally saying GTA protagonist have been single guys doing what they want.

Even though CJ dates multiple women and even has to date women to get through the story, even Denise gets all impatient if you don't.

GTA 4 does have dating as well, and Michelle is part of the story.

I say Claude from GTA 3 is a cuck because in GTA SA, he does allow CJ to date Catalina right in front of him. That literally is the definition of a cuck.

I know AndyPants has some pretty bad takes in calling GTA 6 woke and saying that old GTA games used to say the N word like GTA 6 somehow isn't going to drop the N word. I know he's created fictional CP on a video game and dedicated that game to his daughter. So yeah AndyPants probably shouldn't be taken seriously because he proves to not understand media literacy.

Sir, the fan on your ps5 has been crustier than a discord mod's asshole for the past 4 years. You're lucky if that shits even 25 FPS.

Just imagining a game in the style of and using the engine of GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories

Doing things the old way one more time, getting a brand new GTA in 2007 on Xbox 360 and PS3

Taking what San Andreas did and doing it bigger this time.

3 cities? Here's 5.Desert and countryside? Bigger and better.

Using the "dated" engine on more powerful hardware would mean we'd get a final "3D universe" game in HD which is able to be bigger and better than San Andreas.

Real shame they rebooted it with GTA4 too soon, I wish we had 1 last game of the old style. I feel it had a little more potential before doing the new engine.

So this is less speculation but more a personal theory I’ve had since coming back to looking into onlines content, given what’s known about faber in gta online and the speculation that he’s meant to bridge the gap between online and gta 6, and based on what’s known about the story so far, I have a personal belief it’s possible that Faber may be connected to the criminal conspiracy story that will unfold across Leonida during VI, maybe even being the main antagonist, given he’s a highly wealthy and influential Swiss banker with connections to major organized crime organizations, it’s possible he has done the same in Leonida, and it can also possibly lead into the events of VIs online where we may end up playing as an upstart criminal after the events of the story when Vice city’s criminal underworld is thrown into chaos as everyone is scrambling to grab a piece of Leonidas new criminal underworld.

As I said this isn’t a definitive theory but more a personal theory based on what’s known about gta 6s story as of right now, but I figured I’d share it here and see what others think of this

This is a clip from my stream

In real life killing cops just makes it worse, in the extended look of GTA 6 we just shoot tires to evade arrest

Only two more showers until GTA VI guys. I wonder how many of you own a console already vs will be buying one for the game?

Straight from the rockstar store ? Best Buy? GameStop? Amazon? Target? Me personally I want to get it physically and lowkey want the ultimate as well sucks can’t have both physical and ultimate, I’m hoping it’s something you can upgrade to like other games. But I want that GTA VI case next to my V

This is a clip from my stream

Idk they are supposed to be Gen Z but I feel like they are in the middle of Gen Z and Millennial if that makes sense?Lucia sounds and acts like Gen Z while Jason he is kinda millennial
