Why was so much of this forgettable?

Why was so much of this forgettable?
I played the shit out of it for years, but compared to Vice City, San Andreas, or 5, I can't remember any of the dialogue, characters, radiostations, songs they played, map except for a few things like Roman asking to go bowling.

All GTA single player sucks aside from Vice City, honestly Cops N Crooks in this was the funnest thing I've done in GTA. It was a shame they didn't bring it back

Antagonists
>Vlad
>The Albanians - Darden and Bleeder
>Mikhail Faustin
>Dymitri Rascalov
>Mr Bulgarin
>Michelle
>The government stooge in the newspaper room
>Jimmy Pegorino

Two Radio Stations
>Vladivastock
>Liberty Rock Radio
>Integrity 2.0

Three Songs
>Underdog
>Schweine
>Edge of 17

There is exactly one memorable mission, the bank robbery, every single mission apart from that is "drive the most unlikeable person you can imagine to some random shithole while they keep talking endlessly about some stupid shit, then shoot 7 Albanian bums when you arrive, then drive back".

i don't remember characters or dialogue in any gta game. probably because i just always skipped those and went to shoot people and drive around

no shit
by the end of the game it seems both nico and dimitri forgot about each other
it's not really clear why nico had such a hard on for dimitri and not the other russian mustache fuck bulgarin which is the one who had a personal beef with nico
also nico's search for the traitor is basically solved by the cia out of the blue, that guy was never in liberty city, he went there for nothing
and nico was never anything more than a hired gun that is dumb enough to take the fall for murdering higher ups

It's fucking SOVL, and Nico is the best and the funniest GTA protag. There will never ever be a game world as impressive as Liberty City.

I know you're trying another one of these "the best game is the worst and the worst game is the best" things but it's pretty generally agreed upon that San Andreas is the top dog and 4 is just a kind of weird mid-puberty state of the franchise like TES with Oblivion

I can, but I played it very recently.

That mission is also that. You show up and 4 guys are bickering. You get a 4-door car so you can listen to 4 guys bickering. You go to the bank to hear 4 guys bickering. One dies. You shoot police and need to make an escape out the front door. Escape into the subway. Get a 4 door car and escape. Boom.

cars do not catch air going 40 over a hill

Are we angry about last nights thread?

Without looking anything on google I can remember a bunch of tracks of Vladivostok FM, but not by name. The friends are all memorable too.
>Bruce
>Dwayne
>The Jamaican dude
I think the main antoagonist is a Russian guy named Dimitri, but I not sure.
Also I remeber one of you GF's, I think her name was Michele, she's a secret police agent or something
There's a guy that gives you some missions named Boris (I think), You kill him at the end of the "first act" and I think he was Russian and had contacts with Dimitri.

>Mikhail Faustin
>Liberty Rock radio
>Fascination
>China Grove
>Let's get lost
There you go you disingenuous fag

Beeg american teetees are iconic though.

Niko: Hey boss how dare you question my loyalty I would never betray you
Also Niko: Fuck you boss you're a rotten man and I have to kill you now
Also Niko: Dimitri how could you betray your own friend you piece of shit you're my arch nemesis now

The ironic thing is that Niko is purely a mercenary. He does awful things to people and he's basically a hired gun. Only when it comes to wrapping up his past trauma does he care.

Reminder
>Game map is one small city and 2 towns, the rest is mountains.
>Physics considerably worse than the game that came before it.
>No interiors besides safehouse and Ammunation
>Shitty missions such as Crane operator, yoga, apple offices, any mission involving Michael's kids
>Terminator cops with ridiculous accuracy so police battles are usually short
>Removed crouch feature
>Restrictive linear missions that fail if you try to be creative
>Unlikeable characters
>Forgettable villains
>3 protagonists
>So many guns that they all feel the same
>GTA Online
Just to name a few

It wasn't. I remember everything about it because it's one of my favorite games of all time. I quote it all the time in my head, lines from it have stuck with me my entire adult life. I have yet to find a game with more fun driving, not even in racing games. It was an amalgamation of every crime drama of the past 10 years before it, and what it tried to do, it did brilliantly. Your entire thread amounts to
>i dont leik it so itz bad
Fucking boring. You're more boring than the boring game you hate.
>Name one antagonist
Dimitri was a poor stand in for Bulgarin, at least you get to kill him as someone else eventually.
>Name two radio stations
Liberty Rock Radio and Vladivostok FM was what I listened to the most at release, but I can't think of an actual 'bad' radio station in IV. There's so much professionally curated music in the game that I spent an hour trying to properly downgrade my steam version just so I could hear it all.
>Name three songs
Too much work. You get one

>>Name one antagonist
Dimitri. He fucks you over and kills Roman accidentally if you choose the money.
>>Name two radio stations
Liberty Rock Radio and Liberty City Hardcore
>>Name three songs
That one song from Stevie Nicks. That other song from ACDC, and some song from Deep Purple.

Who were the bad guys of 5?
I remember a guy with a mansion.

>darden
>the vibe
>journey
>genesis - mama
>lil wayne/fat joe - crackhouse
who doesn't remember GTAIV lmao, what about the swingset glitch or how people used to and still bitch about the car handling. maybe i'm just autistic

>Terminator cops with ridiculous accuracy
And that's a good thing! Or are you a pussy who won't make your stand?

>I can't think of an actual 'bad' radio station in IV
That one latin american station is pretty bad. But I genuinely think it was included as some form of joke: every taxi driver has that shit on and you can't help it but to ask him to change the damn station the second you enter their car.

Plot was shit after a few missions, but the world was fun to play on and you could do romance

>No interiors
>Terminator cops with ridiculous accuracy so police battles are usually short
People don't remember how important stuff like this is to a GTA game. What made GTA IV multiplayer so fun was that every interior from the story was open, you could hide or have a standoff anywhere. My friends and I would lure people into buildings all the time, it was a fucking blast. I remember how disappointed I was in V when I tried to go on a rampage for the first time and Michael was dead within minutes. Can't even go on roofs because NOOSE will rappel in perpetually.

It's more fun to make your stand when it isn't cut short by bullshit.

o shit 3 songs
