What made RDR better was the fact that it felt like a sandbox again. It brought back that feeling of freedom that was lacking in GTA IV. You could hunt, play poker, capture outlaws, attack gang hideouts, gamble, break horses, etc. In GTA IV all you could do was go bowling with Brucie. The freedom has always been the essence of what made the GTA games so fun. I had more fun screwing around in san andreas than I did playing the missions. There is NOTHING to do in GTA IV and thats where it failed.
But I'd also have to disagree about the game mechanics. GTA IV's cover system was broken, RDR improved it. GTA IV did not have an option to free up the camera, RDR did. The camera was probably my biggest pet peeve with GTA IV. It drove me NUTS! Plus riding a horse in RDR was a lot more fun/less frustrating than driving a car in GTA IV.
