Worst financial performance of franchise

Why do zoomers being nostalgic about the things that they didn't even experience. I just know GTA IV praiser zoomers wouldn't even pass beyond couple missions from the start.

>UH... ACCORIDNG TO MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER... YOU CANT EVEN LIKE... CROUCH IN GTA V!!!!!!!! SO GTA IV IS AUTOOMATICALLY BETTER!!!!!!!
by your tard logic, gta v should be better than iv because it has flyable planes (something that is more useful than fucking crouching, i might add). oh and despite your bitching and moaning at least every now and then gta v sometimes lets you use stealth, something that can't be said about gta ivs boring movie missions (not saying gta v's missions are great theyre just better than iv)
>MUH KINO PHSYICERINOOOOOOS
you mean the fucking physics that make doing anything in this game a chore.
>erm... ermmmm... THE GAME JUST HAS SOME HECCIN SOUL AND IF YOU DONT AGREE THEN YOU ARE A CHUD!!!!!
you're running out of options. vice city was more soulful than this game.
fuck gta iv. long live sr2. the only think gta iv does better than gta v is police ai and radio.

Everyone wanted San Andreas style stats etc included with all the new bells and whistles. Took awhile to notice all the love and physics that went in to it.

people forgave it after seeing how shit V was.

>chudchudchudchudchud
that meme really mindbroke you retards huh

You have to be 18 or older to post here

the driving mechanics is what made it fun for me. most GTA games are boring and scripted but IV had those things to make up for the mind-numbing gameplay and mission structure.

calm down chud

It's easily the best GTA game but it's still not good

this, still the same rockstar stale formula

Amazingly retarded post

Bit it has a grey filter therefore it's mature

At least they pushed game tech hard and it was a proper "next gen" game at the time

It had its flaws but I still spent way more time with it than V which I didn't even finish. What I don't get is how the AI went so far backwards from IV to V.

Sleeping Dogs is in Hong Kong, retard

San Andreas and Vice City are both infinitely better. The only advantage that GTA IV has is that the technology behind things is better. The game itself isn't that good or memorable.

>>worst financial performance of franchise
Stopped reading there. Salescattle don't have a say in the quality of video games

There are two types of people who hated GTA IV back in the day:
- lolrandumb retards who just wanted to shoot miniguns from jetpacks and were better served by Just Cause and Saints Row than by the entire GTA franchise
- pea brained Mario Kart babby retards who couldn't grasp some simple driving mechanics to save their lives
Which one were you?

>more than a decade later gets praised by the zoomers who were in their diapers when it came out
it was ahead of it's time

Please tell me you're trolling, you can't be this retarded right..? (although if you have this image saved, you probably are)

Simple, we had gta v that remove even more things than gta IV, and everyone started to see that gta iv was at least made with some love, while gta v is corporate garbage. If gta v had been made like the ones in ps2-era gta iv probably would be forgotten

Eh GTA IV Was allright
GTA V was bad tho
