pfft, GTA IV really isn't dramtically inferior to the past games. I really can't think of any changes that caused a significant drop in quality. GTA IV sustained the core of past iterations while also improving in a few aspects. I'm not saying it isn't inferior, it is missing a few things that made the others great, but labelling it a supreme dissapointment is a bit of a hyperbole.


while the game, in its own merits, wasn't all that bad, it was a horrible, horrible sequel.  

Basically, they went backwards in practically every way.  they took away any sort of property owning, took away any sort of customization, took away the vast, open world and stat building of San Andreas, took away the quirky humor of the previous three installments, took away any semblance of interesting characters replacing them with full-on obnoxious morons, they made the physics even worse, they got rid of....you see where I'm going with this?  

Also, ITS YOUR COUSIN ROMAN WANT TO GO SHOOT SOME POOL?!?!?!

I hated practically everything about the game, made even worse by the fact that, save the improved graphics and fist fighting mechanics, it was a downgrade in practically every way.  not to mention it was trying for a serious story rather than a silly, pop culture-riddled one like the series had been come to be known for.  so I'm very unhappy with it and to say it was 'only a minor letdown' especially after the stellar reviews is just silly. 


I guess we'll have to agree to disagree
