For me, it was because it was so serious, and because Niko was kind of unlikeable. The missions weren't very diverse, either. It had great graphics, great music, and a TON of content but I just wasn't having much fun. I was worried that I was just tired of sandbox games but then I bought Saints Row 2 and couldn't stop playing it. I didn't walk in wanting to dislike GTA4. I bought it the day it came out and I even bought the Liberty City DLC disc. It just couldn't suck me in.
Loved Red Dead, Saints Row, Assassins Creed, and more. Couldn't get enough of them. GTA4 just didn't have a soul. Oh, and if this post were GTA4, Niko's cousin would have called me 7 times before I finished this post.
