It felt more detailed, and NPCs actually did more stuff than just stand around or walk aimlessly. Liberty City was a much better map than Los Santos. It almost felt like Rockstar was trying to salvage content from their unreleased title "Agent" and just shoehorned whatever they could into GTA. Plus, I didn't like the FIB focus at all. There was no time for any sort of character development. The story being quite short (only 69 missions, and even less if you don't count those heist prep missions where there's no dialogue and the only objective is "Go to the store and pick up a mask") AND split between three protagonists might have had a lot to do with this. The story was probably one of the most lackluster in the series, and I think a lot of people were expecting something to the quality of SA and IV, but it just wasn't there. GTA V isn't a terrible game, but I think it was overhyped. Thank you for reading and please, don't kill me for preferring GTA V. I can see why would anyone prefer GTA IV over GTA V, after all it's also an older game so nostalgia is a huge factor too. I had fun playing GTA IV, but I had even more fun playing GTA V. However, ( I will probably upset a lot of people by saying this ) for me GTA V is a better game, mainly because of the content, features, missions and brighter atmosphere. GTA IV has better story, better psychics and some nice small features, which makes the game great. Overall brighter atmosphere in my opinion. You can catch a thief that stole someone's wallet. Again, this makes the game more exciting. Mysteries and easter eggs like ghost, UFO, secret murders etc. This makes the game more alive in my opinion. Animals - from rats, cats and dogs to sharks and even a freaking whale. You can upragde and customize your weapons You can upragde and customize your cars and motorcycles ( very strong factor for me ) Even though story is worse, the missions are more exciting, memorable and fun to play in my opinion. You can push people ( again, quite funny feature ) You can take stuff from the ground and throw it on people ( quite funny ) Basically the overall behavior of cars feels just more realistic.
Gta 4 vs gta 5 full#
In Gta 5 you can take corners with full throttle, if you do the same in Gta 4 you crash.
driving psychics are more realistic, which makes Story makes more sense and it's overall better The gameplay and graphics are overall clearly improved in V (although the physics were dumbed down) but since I care a lot about the story, I prefer GTA IV Too much of GTA V's map is wasted on a huge kind of useless countryside.
GTA IV had a strong focus on various types of gangs which gave it a gritty crime drama vibe while GTA V was too focused on the FIB/Merryweather & boring Rich people like Weston.Īlso Liberty City felt more "real" than LS to me which may have been the point but somehow exploring the city bit by bit was just more satisfying. GTA V's story is entertaining but felt too safe and lighthearted, never a serious moment, no tension whatsoever. There were real consequences to the characters being criminals and doing bad shit in GTA IV, almost no one got a "good" ending which was fitting. I just didn't feel as invested in the trio's story (although Michael and Trevor were still memorable characters). Niko is the most human and compelling GTA protagonist for me, his arc was tragic. It was divisive because of the darker tone and grounded vibe but I liked that direction. Overall GTA V was clearly received much better (and it's definitely a great game) but I prefer GTA IV.
