    The main story of the game talks about a man named Niko Bellic. A Siberian is a former military soldier who fought during the Yugoslav Wars. Like Niko said he killed, smuggled, and sold a lot of people. During the war, Niko's unit of 15 men was killed and the 3 of them survived that is Niko, Florian, and Darko.

A Siberian is a former military soldier who fought during the Yugoslav Wars. Like Niko said he killed, smuggled, and sold a lot of people. During the war, Niko's unit of 15 men was killed and the 3 of them survived that is Niko, Florian, and Darko. When the war ended, he moved to Liberty City alongside his cousin Roman to live the "American Dream". Which obviously turns out to be not what we have in mind. You have to start something small before you do something big. The story in the game was very emotional and depressing making the story very interestingly deep to learn about more of Niko Bellic. Some of the characters in the game have special abilities. My favorite is Dwanye's Backup. Including datable characters like Carmen's Health Boost, Kiki's Remove Wanted Level, and Alexandra's Store Discount Also, non-hangout-able characters like Francis McReary's remove wanted level just like Kiki'sThe weapon choices in the game were a little small. Not enough variety though but still the weapons are still very useful. Some of my favorites is the carbine rifle, rocket Launcher, and combat shotgun. You can even buy outfits in the game like the Russian Shop, Modo, and Perseus. This game also features using a computer. It feels ironic that I am using a computer in my computer to connect the GTA version of it. And hang-out spots in case there is nothing to do like, bowling, darts, strip club, eating, drinking, pool, and of course non hang-out spots like the arcade. The best part is that not just you can have 3 safe houses but 4 safe houses in one game. I only that I could have 3 safe houses because I only played the City Story Games on the PSP. As for Chinatown Wars, I will review that later. The game did not have planes like GTA 3, but I will still let it slide. This is one of the games that I would definitely recommend for people who want to play this game like the good old days or want to know what is going on and what they missed before GTA V.

    And the choices in the game always mattered depending on the situation.    … Expand

    This game have some optimization problems and you may need a decent system. All performance issues at the side the game is actually very well written. Filled with character and a dark vibe the story is very well made. Gameplay can be a bit clunky but overall it's immersive and you never feel alone in this lively city.

    Oyun harika ama bazı ufak tefek boktanlıkları var. Mesela NPC'ler. Genel olarak çok reziller gerek yaya gerek araç kullanırken ne yapacaklarını kestiremiyorsunuz. Yolda hız limitlerini zorlarken bir anda önünüze kırabiliyorlar Niko uçup gidiyor falan. Onun dışında mükemmel her yanıyla, alıp oynayın pişman olursanız gelin götümü sikin.

    The introduction, with its brooding, glowing Liberty City and epic OST, still gets my heart racing. On the downside, the missions are a bit cliched.

    My favorite game of the series. It has the best story. Negative opinions about the game are usually due to optimization, but if you have a computer that will have difficulty playing a game released in 2008, it is probably not for you to play games. This may have been a problem for the time it came out, but not for today.

Who even needs a serious story in GTA? Especially with so boring missions. Btw whole story is boring and not interesting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. GTA IV. Отличная, но противоречивая игра. Полноценное продолжение, вышедшее через 4 года после GTA: SA. На сей раз под нашим управлением оказывается Нико Беллик, эмигрант из Восточной (скорее, Южной) Европы, прибывший в Америку за "американской мечтой". Вспоминается фото сценариев этой игры и GTA III. К сожалению, здесь слишком обширный и затянутый сюжет, и его невозможно описать, не задев впечатлений от остальных аспектов, поэтому сделаю описание одним предложением. Нико Беллик эмигрирует из Европы в Америку, здесь он встречает различных представителей мафии и работает на них, а также на своих друзей, просто заказчиков и копов, попутно он ищет предателя времен войны, находит его, отпускает либо убивает, затем срабатывается или убивает человека, который его подставил, после чего на свадьбе двоюродного брата гибнет сам брат или девушка Нико, и тот мстит за одного из них. Это в целом весь сюжет. Перейду к остальным составляющим игры, гораздо лучшим. Вся игра состоит из деталей! Физика всего, что есть, графика, прорывная для серии GTA уж точно, социально-ролевой элемент общения со всеми персонажами делают эту игру невероятно оригинальной! Телефон, получаемый в начале и присутствующий до самого конца, обрастает контактами, встречами, можно звонить по отдельным номерам и вызывать такси, делать фото и отправлять MMS, а также получать их и SMS, распознавать музыку. Электронная почта и интернет - не менее важная часть жизни персонажа, здесь мы получаем спам, деловые письма, личные, читаем новости (о своих же похождениях!), сидим на сайтах знакомств, покупаем рингтоны... Бои прекрасны: вид из-за плеча, Euphoria позволяет наблюдать гиперреалистичное поведение тел от любого действия, также обширен арсенал и, опять же, физика дает простор экспериментам. Машины повреждаются, можно сказать, лучше, чем в реальности, так впечатляет, когда едешь на вогнутом со всех сторон ведре, которое встает и не включается, даже радио затухает. А собственно поездки реализованы детально вплоть до меняющегося поведения шин в зависимости от погоды, не говоря об уязвимости самих шин, стекла, дисков. Другие виды транспорта просто неплохо собраны. Музыка хороша лично для меня на двух радиостанциях: Broker и известной Vladivostok FM, но все остальное также часть неплохого саундтрека. И, конечно, гениальная заглавная тема игры, написанная Майклом Хантером, долго не выйдет у меня из головы. Минусы игры в плохой оптимизации и растянутом сюжете, идея которого в том, чтобы просто "убивать за деньги", причем, почти во всех миссиях - и это неясное решение. Я описал то, что сильнее всего запомнилось. Просто одна из важнейших игр. So this is what the dream feels like? This is the victory we longed for.… Expand

    This is a very unusual part of the GTA series. It has parts to be considered the worst in the series as well as the best.

But knowing that GTA 4 was released after GTA SAN ANDREAS, this is disappointed. In my opinion, in this part, the series went down, on the contrary, but definitely not higher.
    This part is special because the phone first appeared here and the plot became non-linear. And very nicely done Liberty City. Graphics, character animations and car physics have improved a lot. Also relationships with friends, for which you can get good bonuses.
    But what is disappointing, although the city is beautifully done, the area of the city is much smaller than it was in SAN ANDREAS. Although SAN ANDREAS came out earlier, so the technology could allow the open world to be expanded, but not reduced.
    The plot is very dark. Since the plot is non-linear, there are very moral choices here. But still, in the final, I consider one of the endings to be far from canonical and it definitely does not fit into the dark and moral game.
    Some characters are almost not revealed and I cannot sympathize with them.
    I liked the main character. His character, values and charisma are well shown.
    And it is very unusual after bright past parts to start playing this depressing game.
    The plot really breathes reality. But I think it's too long. The game could be speeded up a lot, but there are still many new characters and many new missions from them.
    And let's not forget what state the PC version of the game was in at the time of release. Terrible optimization and lots of bugs.
    But I am glad that many patches have been released over the years and the game is now playable.
    But in terms of humor and fun, this part is much worse than the previous parts of the series.    … Expand

    Great game, great story. Nico is one of the most relatable GTA characters to this game.

    The PC port is an absolute shame though. Even on modern hardware the game runs worse than GTA V, with some absolutely devestating framedrops especially in the night. I would definitely recommend playing it though.

Good game, but unfortunately there is not much in this game, when the story is finished, I find the game a bit underdeveloped. I understand they were trying for physics. Anyway, I didn't like the city either, it's just that when you finish GTA 4 you mostly don't turn the game on until you want to play it again, which doesn't happen anyway, or you go play the DLC, but when you finish the DLC there's nothing you can do in the story or the DLC anyway, in GTA San Andreas after finishing the story you could play for tens of hours to finish GTA San Andreas 100%, also the gangster wars in GTA San Andreas were very good. Anyway, in GTA 4 there are no conveniences like in GTA SA, you can't customize your character, you can't tune cars, you can't use planes, although actually GTA 4 couldn't do that because Liberty City, you couldn't explore the water world.

    Everyone says that it has the best plot in the GTA franchise... but i don't think so. The story is a bit bland, and IMHO does not achieve what it seeks or make you care for any character. But hey, it's a GTA and that means quality. And an impressive city and amount of side content.

    This is a very good GTA. You play as a balkan immigrant who travels to America to live the american dream but the circumstances force you to get involved with crime.

You play as a balkan immigrant who travels to America to live the american dream but the circumstances force you to get involved with crime. It starts with very small jobs, like bullying people in order to pay their debt and slowly as you gain fame you do bigger jobs and get to know more important people. The pacing of the game is very good at least at the first half, there are countless mini games and side activities you can do, and the whole thing is very believable, because the characters have strong personalities and keep the interest. Unfortunately and once you reach a certain point and have lots of money you realize that you cant do many things with it. You still have to steal cars from some poor bastards although you have a 6 digit account. There are no garages, you cant buy houses, you can't run businesses. The character also doesn't seem to grow throughout the game, and has the same primitive mentality in contrast to San Andreas where you could feel and see the growth and evolution of your character.… Expand

    This is arguably the best GTA game story wise. I've never seen a story this good and connected to the character in any GTA game. Driving is bit challenging but in a fun way. The side characters are amazing just like in all other GTA games. The Episodes from Liberty City are also very good. A must play.

Aslında taa ana oyunda bile sıkılmaya başlamıştım. 2 dakikalık görev için 10 dakika boyunca şehrin bir ucundan diğer ucuna araba sürüp durmanın keyifli bir yanı yok.

Üstelik bunu neredeyse 100 defa yapınca, bir yerden sonra işkenceye dönüşüyor.

    Küçükken gta'yı çok severdim. Bir yaz boyunca Vice City'de suç yapıp polisi peşime takarak şehri tavaf ettim. Ama hem geçen yılki gta 5 ve şimdiki 4 deneyimim bana keyif vermedi. Ana hikayeler fena değil ama yukarıda bahsettiğim araba sürme simülasyonu durumu canımı sıkıyor. Zaten gta tam olarak görevden göreve koşularak oynanacak bir oyun değil. Açık dünyada gezersin, bir şeyler yaparsın, arada göreve gidersin. Küçükken ben de öyle oynuyordum ama hayatımın şu döneminde, işin gücün arasında, gta'yı keyfe keder oynayacak vaktim yok.

    Neyse gta 4 ile gta serisini (ilk 2 oyunu saymazsak) tamamlamış oldum. Bence serinin kendini en ciddiye alan, en ayakları yere sağlam basan oyunu. Ama o gri görüntüsü ve basık atmosferi insanı bunaltıyor. Ana karakterimiz ve aksanını sevdim. oyunun fiziği, üzerinden neredeyse 15 yıl geçmesine rağmen hala taş gibi. Grafikler, özellikle suratlar epey eskimiş tabii. Bunlar dışında klasik gta işte, ne diyeyim.    … Expand

Each mission begins with an endless car ride to the other side of town until the characters discuss everything the writers have written. And then you take a couple of shots and the mission is over.

    1 - Aiming was not sensitive to small mouse movements. When I aim for someone's head, I need to move the mouse upwards very slowly. However, the game does not pick up the small movements, which makes your cursor stuck just underneath my objective. When I move the mouse more strongly to counter that, it finally detects it, but this time the cursor flies upwards, again missing the head. This was not a game-breaking issue or didn't make anything more difficult. However, in a game like GTA where you always need to use a gun, it becomes very annoying.
    2 - There were huge bugs, although extremely few. At a certain point, I needed to spam the space button as a mission objective, but the button was not working. I had to completely change my graphics settings in order to make the space button work in a mission.
    Other than these 2 issues, the game was very amazing. The acting, story, story presentation, the freedom in your choices, and variety of friend activities were all perfect.    … Expand

    So close to be 10. I love GTA IV, it has great content, nice graphics and story of course.

    The reason I gave this a score of 8, is because it lacks optimisation to PC port, but putting this aside the game is an "unpolished diamond".

    I heard rumors, that Rockstar's gonna make a Definitive Edition just like they did with San Andreas, hopefully these rumors are true.

    What specs you need to run it 60fps - 1080p or 4K, without stutter or lag?
    - Let's make one thing clear, you should never max out "View Distance", "Detail Distance" and "Vehicle Density". But good news is that you don't need to max out either of these, because game looks already perfect when you set all these settings to 50%. Everything after 50% is very minor and not necessary, but takes away huge amount of fps, so it's not worth it and with 50% it will already look miles better than Console versions. So for conclusion, yes, this is the best looking version of that game.

    Now, to run it in 4K, High Settings, you need minimum "RTX 2060" or "RX 6600 XT" for graphics card, For CPU Ryzen 3600 or I7 7700.

    Now let's make one thing clear, this game was extremely ahead of time. More than any game ever. "Resident Evil 4" (2005) was revolutionary in it's own ways and is still amazing game, no doubt, but what GTA 4 did, changed open world games forever.

    Let's start with physics. You wont find this good physics from any open world game. None. Keep in mind this was 2008.

    New York truly feels alive, more alive than modern open world games like Just Cause 3/4 or Cyberpunk 2077. Whole city is extremely detailed, especially by 2008 standards and all of that looks absolutely phenomenal, if you play this game in 4K.

    You can go inside hospitals (fully detailed), inside apartment buildings, inside police station, abanoned places, etc. There's so much to explore and find in this incredibly crafter open world. Every inch of that map shows how much passion and talent was put into making this incredible game.

    Story is fun, long and rich, full of loads of memorable characters, missions and locations.

    GTA IV is timeless masterpiece, that truly showed what is possible in gaming, most detailed open world game to date and one of the best games of all time.    … Expand

Awkward t/s controls (those who love the controls in this game, do you seriously like the camera position when you're in t/s?). Inconvenient character control, it cannot be controlled smoothly, as smoothly as it was in SA, VC, III. If in those parts there were 3 types of steps, then here the figure is either taken with all his might, or he just walks slowly. The camera in the cut-scenes flies incomprehensibly where... It's definitely not placed in the correct position, it's either too far away or too close to even see the faces of the characters. In some missions, there are simply NO interiors, they do not load even after restarting the mission. Absolutely gray, boring city where there is no desire to travel and explore. Throughout the story, I got from one mission to another using a taxi, because driving a car is inconvenient and inappropriate among absolutely buggy traffic and the dumbest AI that always cuts you off. The plot and the hero is as gray and insipid as the game itself. Ch. the hero also does not have any charisma, as well as other characters in this game (even the silent Claude in a 3 made a lot more impression than this guy, the guy who always whines about his past). In general, I can list a lot of things that I did not like. I think this GTA is superfluous in the Grand Theft Auto series of games.    … Expand

    Truly one of the worst open-world games I've ever played. Gameplay consists of drive to location, watch cutscene, then sometimes engage in a gunfight with some of the worst controls I've ever seen. There is SO MUCH driving in this game. Hours and hours of it. It just never ends. In some missions you have to follow a car - very slowly - without getting too close.

Gameplay consists of drive to location, watch cutscene, then sometimes engage in a gunfight with some of the worst controls I've ever seen. There is SO MUCH driving in this game. Hours and hours of it. It just never ends. In some missions you have to follow a car - very slowly - without getting too close. In other missions, you have to make sure the target car doesn't get too far away. Neither type of mission is fun, as it's not like you can really tell how close/far you need to be. There's traffic EVERYWHERE and everyone drives SO SLOWLY. Your best bet is to just drive on the sidewalk. Even if you drive perfectly, you'll still get in accidents because there are so many unmarked intersections, and the other drivers don't really follow the rules of the road. It's like the developers of this game saw a city in a movie, but have never actually been to a city in real life. The story and characters are complete cringe, like there was a quota for the number of F-bombs they had to include so it would seem like a tough gangster story. The game also looks like muddy crap, and does that awkward thing where it zooms in close to the characters' horrible-looking faces. It doesn't even have anti-aliasing, unless you manually force it on. I did enjoy driving the cars. The car physics are great, and smashing them up is very satisfying. I recommend doing that instead of the story missions, because they're terrible. I know this game is fourteen years old but it feels like it's forty years old.… Expand

    This is best video game Rockstar has ever made. Level of detail, atmosphere and mission design is absolutely insane by 2008 standards and even in 2022 it has more depth than most open world games.

    This is the game that got me back into gaming. The story is awesome, and you will really relate to Niko Bellic. Also, the two other companion games (The Lost and the Damned / Ballad of Gay Tony) are great as well. All three games actually work together to tell a full story. I used an excel spreadsheet and was able to play all three games at once as if it was one complete story. ThatThis is the game that got me back into gaming.

That was extremely interesting because of the different points of views, and you also cover every inch of the GTA world that way. GTA 4 and 5 are simply two of my top 5 videos games. That is how good they are.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Хорошая игра, но со своими неприятными сюрпризами.
    Геймплейно игра превосходная. В остальных аспектах игра мне нравится: тачки ,оружие, все великолепно. Сюжет-- такой типичный боевичок, ничего особенного.
    Почему 7 , а не 10 все очень просто. Концовка просто ужас, я просто не мог залезть на вертолет и постоянно проваливал миссию. К сожалению у столь великой игры такая кривая и недоработанная концовка.    … Expand

    Итак 2021 год, и я решил, что вырос и смогу понять этот скучный сюжет. И.... это всё ещё скучный сюжет, который я оценю в 6 балов. Всё очень плохо. Но почему я ставлю игре 9 баллов? Вот знаете есть игры, в которых физика насколько хороша, что вам хочется с ней эксперементировать... А внимание к деталям от разработчиков пестрит из игры просто из всех щелей. Вы готовы просто встать иИтак 2021 год, и я решил, что вырос и смогу понять этот скучный сюжет. И.... это всё ещё скучный сюжет, который я оценю в 6 балов. Всё очень плохо.

А внимание к деталям от разработчиков пестрит из игры просто из всех щелей. Вы готовы просто встать и аплодировать техническому исполнению игры. Да тут отсутствует оптимизация и у меня в 4к hdr на 3080 ртх и 3900 резани игра умудряется выдавать 40 кадров. Но за обиливе возможностей и физику в игре, хочется ей всё простить и сказать, что вы просто обязаны это всё попробовать. Вы толком не найдёте таких игр в наше время среди ААА тайтлов, все просто забили большой и толстый на такую физику.... к сожалению...… Expand

    It's the peripheral distractions of both going out with Roman, and meeting your girlfriends, that really make your virtual life so worth living. Although incredibly simplistic, they're oddly touching...One of the finest videogames ever. [Christmas 2008, p.87]

    The most grown-up GTA and the best realised, but it doesn't respect the PC much. Enjoy the multiplayer madness if you can. [Christmas 2008, p.96]

    A genuinely ground-breaking blockbuster in videogame history. There were moments playing GTA IV that I thought back to my initial experiences with games, and realised exactly how far we've come. There's never been anything quite like GTA IV in the world. That there makes me genuinely happy to be a gamer.
