Definitely more of a rough landing that resulted in all the dignitaries being forced to unflatteringly tumble down the emergency chutes in front of the waiting crowd. Not quite the rockstar entry they had hoped for.
IMO even GTA V still lacks some of the systems that made GTA IV great (i.e. Euphoria system). IV is still one of my standards for an immersive city world.
GTA has actual thought put in its gameplay, as opposed to "afterthought". You don't play GTA for aesthetics or story. You do it to run people over, bang prostitutes and to see just how far you can push yourself being a mass murderer.
Because the entire development cycle of the game took place in the PS4/XB1 generation, except for the parts that took place in the PS3/360 generation.
>those stats
Fully agree. Even the driving felt better in GTA IV, the cars felt like they actually had things like weight and suspension. The city felt alive and the AI was much better than it is in V, particularly the cops. If you replay IV and pay attention you can notice little things like how the police AI will drag a fallen officer to safety, they will try to peacefully arrest you if you're under 3 stars instead of just gun you down, shit they even do random stop and searches and if they're arresting an NPC they'll have a backup officer and actually arrest them. If Rockstar were to remaster IV it would probably set new records for sales of a remastered game and would be a contender with any new title coming out that year.
The Codex version is prepatched to 1.03
Definitely so- it feels like NPCs react appropriately to your actions, which is what's the most important thing about any open-roam game.

I'm pretty sure they're all still there. Within the first like 5 minutes of playing as a nomad, I saw a cop lauryposing in the middle of the street.
Nah. He'd somehow live through the nuke ending.
