GTA IV just breathes quality from beginning to end. The story is interesting enough to keep you fascinated, the graphic is the PC version are a milestone in the series as is the gameplay. The addition of the video editor and expansion of the multiplayer game also make it a little fuller than it was. GTA IV offers a fantastic experience. It should be in every PC gamers home.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
i just dont understand what it is with these pathetic gta 4 reviews, i mean i can understand why the reviews were the way they were when it was released for ps3 and xbox because the reviewers have fallen for the hype but there is no reason that these reviewers can give the game anything above an 8.
I still say GTA 4 is one of the best games ever made... But that's just my opinion! I bought the game knowing what to expect. I didn't buy it expecting it to be like the past GTA games.
The GTA franchise is moving foward and in that transition, they had to change some things, so the gameplay and all that might not have been what alot of people were expecting!
They had alot of other companies trying to copy their blueprint, namely Saint's row! What were they suppose to do, Have a battle on who can have the most arcadey sandbox game with a funny story?
GTA is an adult franchise, and I am glad they are creating the game in a more adult way. I bought GTA 4 on day one and still have it. I bought saints row on day one and traded it in 2 weeks later, because it just wasn't fun to me! But I imagine it is alot of fun to someone else.
this is a random question I have.
Did GTAIV feel slow to anyone besides me?
I mean slow like Niko controlled like a broken down rollercoaster (does it really take that long to turn just 180 degrees?) and the cars controlled like submarines (every car had horrible brake pads).
It's definitely a great achievement and I'm glad it got the great reviews.
I personally would prefer less movie and more game. But that's just a matter of opinion. I can see the movie aspect appealing to many people. But for me, if I want to watch a movie then I go watch a movie. It's clear that Rockstar likes to touch people on an emotional level with their "games". and this isn't easy to do without cut scenes.
It's boring to me but as long as you guy's like it ,it's ok i guess.The only thing i like about GTA was how huge the city is that's it.Don't like driving around all day picking up people .To Me i like game's like FEAR or LEFT4Dead where you Fight the Real and Unreal .Thats just Me.
