A weird take that I’ve grown to have, is that III & IV are really the only “adults only” GTA games; meaning the storyline is very grounded and mostly deep at points, making you think about morality and your own personality as compared to the over-the-top movie-style storylines of VC, SA & V. You could feel more relatable to Niko dealing with personal and family problems, as compared to a lunatic like Tommy or the comical situations C.J. would get himself into. IV has grown on me into this masterpiece that, while not an underrated game, is underrated in the series as a whole, and deserves its time in the sun.

the sad thing is all Rockstar will see is how well GTA V sold and well loved SA was and will no doubt continue going down this over the top comical route, GTA V already felt like it was borderline saints row, Rockstar are much better at making deep and frankly a bit depressing stories GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 and Max Payne 3, all have insanely good stories driven heavily by grounded characters - i really hope GTA 6 follows the grounded and more serious tone (at least for the main story) but i feel like they set it in Vice City as an excuse to lean even heavier into the goofy shit

​@theaces3697 My underlying impression of GTA VI's trailer is that it features a world filled with comical shenanigans, excess, and vice, but underneath it all is a more genuine story about the cost of living in such a world. And its brutal, dark underbelly that affects the unfortunate. As cliché as it is to say, a story more similar to IV's but with V's vibrant, more vapid surface.

Everything about this games story is incredible and light years ahead of its time, the environments, the characters big and small, the bleak and dark story, knowing you can never truly get a happy ending just amplifys everything and subverts my expectations.

Hadn't been disappointed about a game being over in quite a while, so i found closure in your beautifully world analized videos to give me more of that delicious red dead sauce. Also recently played gta 4 in the past year. So, great stuff, great vid, love the energy and quality of your vidos and excited to dive into rdr2 content you have once i play it again and the rest of your vids. Much love from the US.

crazy how you're playing this now as I started again recently - i can't believe how well this game plays on pc settings a good 15 years later... being able to see a lot further with a lot more pedestrians and vehicles makes this map feel alot more alive than it used to. Have also noticed that the enemies are pretty sharp, no running around like a prick here, you get exposed you get shot you die. Loving it!

Really hoping for a proper remaster (long shot, I know) this year with updated visuals- by that I mean having an option to get rid of the piss smear filter that was so prevalent in those times as well as higher resolution and framerate- and no multiplayer so the damn platinum trophy is actually obtainable without breaking my heart and soul in the multiplayer.

In 2008, my dad had moved to NYC, and I got a 360 and this game... and upon booting this game the atmosphere echoed what I saw in New York pretty accurately. Even though New York isn't always hazy, somehow the game's look and tone feel accurate. Maybe moreso than any other game has been able to capture. Even as someone who doesn't LIVE in New York, just from what I've seen while visiting, the game does a great job of capturing the energy. And while I suck at video games and rarely ever actually play GRAND THEFT AUTO to advance the missions but rather just to fuck around and explore the open-world, it's still enjoyable to just cruise around and NOT play missions, just be a person in that world. They did a great job with the game - to my eyes, it holds up.

The thing I adore most about this game, is it’s atmosphere. It’s so unique - in a way that makes it more noteworthy than a lot of other uniquely-atmospheric games. It fascinated me in high school when I played it, and it fascinates me now.

You're very well-attuned to the thematic significance of Niko's choices in the story, this game's incredible writing goes under-appreciated because its presentation is not as cinematic and its brilliant dialogue is always delivered in realistic silence. Rockstar's future games would always have a musical score that played during missions and cutscenes, and would of course have checkpoints too.

I know you haven’t finished the game so I’ll try to say what I can without spoilers lol. What separates GTA IV from later entries in the franchise and what makes it stand out - especially in hindsight - is that IV was a very personal journey for Niko as we saw the world of New York through the eyes of an immigrant who just arrived as we discover what his actual mission is. There’s no doubt that all the V protagonists are more dynamic and interesting characters than Niko, who is something of a blank slate, but what IV did was keep you invested in him and his life as he was on the run from Dimitri for most of the game. V, meanwhile, feels more like a wacky power fantasy. Nothing in that game makes you feel the same terror that Niko did returning to find Roman’s apartment on fire. You never felt that these characters are on the brink of death in a city where all the powerful are arrayed against them, you feel like they can take on the world and win. And while that’s not inherently bad, it is significantly less intriguing or compelling as a story, as Niko does feel all those things which draws the player into him and his story. CJ in San Andreas was a nice middle road between all of them, being a fun and entertaining character to play as while also part of a story that was dramatic, powerful and compelling. Even the social commentary and satire of contemporary America feels more absurdly over the top than in IV. Yes, IV had those aspects too but they were mostly contained to TV and radio, while the tone and aesthetic of the world chose to present an America where Niko felt powerless and only through struggle could he make a name for himself. The American Dream features very heavily, but subtly, in this story as it’s what drove Niko there in the first place. It’s a very serious story with serious characters. But in V, they seem to go all out on the wackiness that is just a part of the world. The pot salesman who lets you trip balls and fight aliens or monkeys with a machine gun is a good example of this, as are the other strangers and freaks in V who seem much more over the top as satire compared to the way in which their IV counterparts were also obvious satire but also very believable and grounded too. I suppose this is to be expected when IV is based in New York, historically a more dreary and bleak city compared with the sunny skylines of Los Angeles, which is why San Andreas also had a lot of wacky side characters in its game. I guess it just comes down to preference. I enjoy V, and I always have fun replaying it as it is a good story that keeps you invested and engaged with these characters from beginning to end. But I so much prefer the dreary realism of IV and the raw, guttural nature of that world’s story compared to the intentionally over the top nature of the story as presented in V. With luck, VI will be a perfect balance with likeable characters in a gritty and well grounded world and even though the initial trailer does imply they’re looking to go in that direction, I think V and Online’s success will be too tempting to resist and there’ll be more wacky elements in VI than in something like IV, which in a way I would prefer as it does stand unique among GTA games so there’s no point in trying to replicate it.

They are just silly goofy stereotypes made worse by a silly.over the top Michael Bay storyline that has you not care about any character personally. Such a wasted opportunity.

Rockstar used to be more open to player choice during missions. Particularly San Andreas comes to mind, it's pretty experimental friendly to solving missions

The funny thing about the “player agency” part of the video is it showed one of the very few missions where the player has some amount of agency. You showed (presumably) yourself going into the hospital guns blazing, when you can go into a changing room and find doctor’s scrubs, which allows you to approach the target and kill him without getting an immediate wanted level. Admittedly, from what I recall, you do get one almost immediately after killing him, so it’s not that much of a better approach, but it’s something and you get a neat outfit out of the whole ordeal.

"the old woman breaking her hip ringtone" we'll never have another gta like gta IV :(

GTA 4 not having a proper remaster or port to the PS4 or PS5 is criminal.

Grand Theft Auto 4 was my first Grand Theft Auto. I had to BEG my parents to let me get it, because of the adult content 😂 I completely relate to that, and I'm just glad I've gotten the ability to play it at all. Niko is such a grounded character, I think he's my favorite GTA Protagonist. He feels real. He doesn't feel like a parody of stereotypes like in GTA V, or Vice City and San Andreas. Having to come from Russia over to the United States is just such an interesting concept that not many games cover. Immigration is difficult, and Rockstar captured it almost perfectly with GTA 4. Keep up the great work, Fizhy!

Grand Theft Auto IV is a masterpiece. The characters and story are fantastic. Niko is the best protagonist, in my opinion. Everything just came together perfectly. While underrated is often thrown around a bit too much these days, I feel of the Grand Theft Auto games, IV is the one that sort of seems to be left out of the conversation compared to other entries, such as SA or V. I’ve noticed a lot more people are playing this game again and have either more appreciation than they did before as they may have just thought it was good, but not great or their appreciation for GTA IV has grown more than before. I’ve loved this game since 2008 and I still love this game. It’s not just my favorite game of the franchise, but I believe it’s the best game of the franchise, as it has you immersed into the dark world of Liberty City as well as Niko’s desire for revenge while also trying to leave his past behind, which isn’t easy for a man like Niko. There are definitely great entries in the franchise, but I think IV is the best. Thank you for the video man, take care!

GTA 4 probably had the best story and gameplay in my opinion. The story was perfectly gritty and taking on the satirical side of the US is done in a way. I think some of the things characters say would be seen as too outrageous For example, I don’t think some lines Manny Escuela says would sit very well in a modern day California such as when he goes mad at his cameraman / editor saying “You made me look gay, man. I warned you, bro.” And “Who the hells ever heard of a metrosexual ex-gangster, man.” I’ve just started playing GTA 4 again and have been contemplating making some content on the game. I was 9 when this game came out and it makes me laugh how much of this game would have gone over my head at the time and my dad watching me play wondering why they would put some things like this in a game. It is a game I’ve never quite managed to put down, but on my most recent play through I’ve added a shaders pack and a few HD texture mods for a few 2024 gameplay fresheners. If like you, haven’t played the game properly before I would enjoy the game in its original form

*So this is what a dream feels like. This is the victory we longed for*

Awesome vid, I def wouldnt mind one about the secrets and hidden details of the game

What's tragic is that there is no GRA 4 on PS5...🤦‍♂️

Loved the video and agree with most points except one, I think GTA 4 has some of the most engaging missions when it comes to players choice. There’s so many different missions that let you complete them as you please, for example the mission “Lure” or “pest control” showcases this very well. I think it’s the perfect mixture of the 3D era games, where you solely decide how a mission plays out. And that of the HD era, that balances that narrative they’ve been known for with the last couple games. I’ve beaten the game several times and i still find new ways to complete missions and it’s very refreshing!

Are yes I remember this game nice work Ethan

I absolutely adore this game and this was a great watch. Shout out to carrying on our nation’s fine tradition of slagging off your home county and drawing attention the fact that the cousins must have to share a bed at times, showing that Rockstar thought “fuck it, between this and their personalties, we’ll make Roman and Niko the Serbian Joey and Chandler.” This game is sublime. The story, Niko as a protagonist, the side characters, the gameplay. My only criticism is the sometimes repetitive missions but even with that it is the masterpiece of the GTA franchise.

i just finished my first whole play-through of gta 4 last week so i was happy to see this video! i guess i was lucky because i didn’t get that helicopter glitch!

The game's story is well deep. It has some funny moments from time to time, but overall it is kinda depressing but I can understand. Niko is a soldier, fought the war and left with pretty much psychological trauma because of Darko. It's a shame that R* screwed up the port and made the performance bad.

I just recently opened a Steam account and bought GTA IV on a sale and I am playing it once more but now in 2024, and look I just got recommended this exact video, man it's like someone knew about my online activity and caters content based on it.

I remember watching my brother play this game and GTA always stuck around in the back of my head since. I only played the game in secret (don’t ask why) a couple times as a kid, but that was it. Little did I know the impact the game had in the gaming community years later. Nowadays, some of the sound effects and soundtracks sound recognizable, despite my limited experience. Now, even though I don’t play the game these days, I still have a level of respect for it (the memes helped).

@@Fizhy got one answer for you you misspelled tire, its tire not tyre

Im about to play this one for the first time. I was probably about 10 when vice city came out, my parents weren't so keen on me playing it and tbh i found it all kind of intimidating, being able to do whatever you want. But by the time V came out i was 20, i loved that game but it was my first entry into the series. I started playing the trilogy remaster when 6 was announced, and as buggy as they can be they're definitely playable, and I don't regret playing these games as an adult when the story for san andreas would have gone over my head as a kid anyway.

Also tips for EVERYONE to have a better time with Rockstar games from IV and on: Treat them like have semi-RPGs, like the game is reading HOW you play because it kind of is. Let me elaporate: 1.) Whatever cars the game GIVES you from like missions, you keep and use solely for as long as you can. I still have this car post-Roman's Sorrow because it's unquie and the first car the game gives you, Roman's Taxi. Still in the parking space and keeping it there. 2.) Keep track of your stats. Like your run downs and cars stolen. SOME cars for missions, don't count as stole I've learned. Like the car you steal to intimadate the laundary mate owner for Vlad. Doesn't count, check it out. 3.) Try to avoid stealing cars as much as possible. If you can go on foot, go on foot or take a taxi. 4.) give money to tramps and sax players. 5.) When people call you up to hang out, do it if you're not in the middle of something else tedious like 200 pigeon hunting lol. And even then if the person calling is close do your hunting, do it. Keep everyone above 90% PRIOR to finishing the story. Real easy and the percetage drops REALLY slow from 100%, just be sure to call and cancel if you want to do something else so there's no drop in percentage. 6.) Avoid killing NPCs if you can, NPCs have multiple condtions they're in before they're OFFICALLY considered dead. Kind of like how in RDR 2 knocking out NPCs doesn't kill them, same in IV. They lay on the ground still alive, just injured. Death is when they're ragdoll on the ground and/or money comes out of them. 7.) ALWAYS have the radio on for updates or news in the city and because the music with eventually match whatever you're doing. Going on date? Romantic/sexual music with tune when you get in the car to and mainly FROM the date back to their aparment for example. Or being chased by police or in a shoot out chase with criminals durting vigilante mission. Music or radio brodacts notices how you're playing. The moment I started stealing cars more and I reached all 20 vigilante levels, I get a news update on the increase in crime lol. I take out a good portions of pigeons in liberty city, I get a news update on Animal rights activists lol. The game is reading how you play. Was playing it so none psycopahtically since the very start with my most recent re-playthrough that one hang out with Little Jacob he says it's US (now in conversation he means humans in general like both of them, but also think it's the game LITERALLY telling me the player) that gives the life it's craziness. WE the player on HOW we play are causing the game to react to HOW we play. Similiar things in RDR 1 & 2. From gameplay to physics, IV & RDR 1 having the better, but RDR 2 having the second best. Also for those that know in IV and RDR 2... The optometrist eyes...

Wasn’t gone terribly long

Using taxis in this game was a game changer, trips were a phone call and a button away. Helping complete missions lightning fast

Great video. Ricky and I believe Katt Williams are in the comedy. Also, didn't the races have replays? One last thing, what's that Jazz track towards the end - sounds beautiful😊

The story is great, choices that lead to differnt side quests and some of the best physics in any game.

One feature you forgot is unintentional trickshots lmao 28:53 is a perfect example, I remember one I had involving Kate Mcreary on a scooter, peak gaming imo

it's crazy how a 2008 game such as GTA IV is far better and more detailed than majority of games nowadays

Masterpiece

I'm replaying gta4 right now, and it's different experiencing everything as an adult

Agreed! Our pee-wee brains just couldn’t comprehend this masterpiece of dark storytelling. Get the DLCs for an even better experience.

Great video, as always. I'm actually playing through this game again for the first time since the first time. I think I like it more than GTA 5 honestly.

As far as I'm aware, the bug with the helicopter is more to do with the frame rate. When the game came to back compat on Xbox, it ran at 60 instead of 30 fps (the game was always unlocked to run at 60 just obviously the 360 and PS3 were lucky to even hit 30) and it's also plagued with the issue of this bug

Best way to counter it is to cap the frame rate to 60 fps, it alleviates the major bugs at least.

@@SquidgyPixel the Xbox caps at 60 and still has the issue. The problem is R* never accounted for players getting more than 30

This game is so good that every time i finish it i feel like i have to play it again

I hope the darker tone of GTA 4 comes back for 6.

I think it's quite hard to set a game in such a vibrant beautiful climate and give it the temperate grit of GTAIV, it would need to be its own kind of dark but yes, I'd absolutely love to see darker aspects to storytelling thoroughly explored in GTAVI. I just think there's a different balance to strike to truly allow the world to become a compliment the worldbuilding and narrative as Liberty City does with 4.

It won't be. Be like Vice City and be lighter

for the final mission download fraps and set the fps to 30. after the jump off the ramp hit the key you set to change the fps and then you can actually get onto the chopper then hit the key again to go back to your usual fps. this glitch happens cause the game was originally made during the xbox 360 era

Tjats a video, i didnt know i wanted to see amd being made!! I've missed these characters and the story. One question though, since you're playing the game on PC, how did you manage to solve the issues found in tjis port like: - Zoomed in camera on cutscenes. - Jerking of characters in cutscenes and blurring. - Attrocious FPS, even under the best of conditions. May we see more of this!! Good work, as always!!

Paid 19.99 plus about 10 minutes ago, I never owned this game growing up but played it a lot at my cousins, I look forward to the story it has to offer I hear it is one of the greats!

Happy you enjoyed the game

Nikos and jacob’s relationship taught me how special and rare it is to find a ride or die friend, that shit was deep

You were talking about how Niko might have owned a bar between GTA 4 and 5, then possibly went back to Liberty City due to a wanted poster in GTA 5. You also mentioned how Niko's Lifeinvader page in GTA 5 hints at him working as a cab driver. Your theory connects the dots between the games, uncovering a hidden backstory for Niko. It's like being a detective in the game world!

in order to get over the Heli glitch you either cap the FPS to lower than 60fps OR grab a Patch 8 file that somehow wasn't added to the complete edition where the Heli glitch doesn't exist at 60fps

*bradford mode* had me in tears 😂

GTA4 was and still is my fav, sad that it’s not been remastered or at the least re released for modern day systems.

One of the best games ever

New Fizhy video! Wake up guys!

Oh aye, I return

Coming back 5 months later and I can’t help but hope GTA VI is the perfect combination and balance of IV and V We need the return of the gameplay and serious story of IV and the freedom and sandbox feel of V

I just finished a 100% run of the steam version the other day. You can beat the final mission if you plug in a controller, and do the button mashing on both the keyboard, and controller. It worked for me at least.

I started a playthrough last week brought back some memories. Going do the DLC next

@@Fizhymake sure to play The Lost and Damned first and Balled of Gay Tony second, it is much better that way

I might be thinking of an older iteration, but I think I heard somewhere that the helicopter finale glitch was a frame rate issue, and it could be fixed if you enable vsync at a lower FPS like 30 or so. I am probably very incorrect, but that sticks out in my mind for some reason.

someone probably mentioned this already but the helicopter bug is happening because you are running the game above 60fps. lock the frame rate to 60 and you will pass the mission

Hell yea I just replayed san andreas definitive edition and it still holds up to be good fun, imma buy this one next an give it a play

One thing I would highly recommend though is downgrading the radio to its original radio to get the full experience of how the game was originally intended

Funny enough I just started this, and I’m struggling with bad camera cut scenes, wobbly car cam and other jittery things. Any idea how to fix these? I played through rockstars game launcher
