Did it deserve a 98? hell no. But it also doesn't deserve the amount of negativity directed towards it either imo.

It's overrated by critics, and underrated by users.

I feel the same way.
Not nearly one of the best games of all time, but easily a 9/10.

On a technical level it was not one but two generations above San Andreas.
World map could've been more varied, but it's easily the best Liberty City ever created.
Niko Bellic isn't my favourite character in the series but definitely not as cliche as previous GTA protagonists.
Mission variety wasn't as varied due to it going for a more realistic route.
Camera and Gunplay is much improved. Vehicles are not as arcadey, but many didn't like that change.
