better physics, better characters, better multiplayer. GTA V has better free roaming, and that's about it.

No.

Tech wise, yes.

GTAIV is barely better than Ride to Hell: Retribution.

sleeping dogs is best

That's just retarded.

My nigga

Yes. And modded it still looks pretty good.

Yes.

That looks like ass
Zero atmosphere

A MAN WHO NEVER EATS A PORK BUN, IS NEVER A WHOLE MAN!

>''GTA4 is fucking shit if you disagee you should literally die''
>GTA5 comes out
>''GTA5 is shit, GTA4 is sooo much better!!!1!11one one!''

I think I'm starting to see some pattern here.

...

...

WHY DONT YOU HAVE A PORK BUN IN YOUR HAND??

...

Playing chase missions is actually never a chase, it is just, wait until the developers actually choose to let you catch up to them.
Or the police catch up with fast cars.
And the races are dumb, you are much faster than them, take them over, look back after 1 minute and they are right behind you!

...

Literally never noticed the police disappearing. I have noticed random NPCs will transform into other NPCs. Like a business woman turning into an asian man etc...

...

...

IV is my favorite GTA game, but that just looks like someone set the contrast to max.

GTA V mixing up realism really bad here. In real life some people actually have useful limbs.

...

Yes.

I found GTA V to be incredibly boring.
The heists were shit, the map was shit, the side stuff was shit, the online was shit.

Having said that, Ballad of Gay Tony should have been the main GTA IV game.

here we go

...

Probably one of the most disappointing things for me even if its pretty much irrelevant, really liked to climb stuff since gta sa, even played in some dedicated parkour/plataform servers in samp/mta

this reminds me of how much the city was dank to drive in but only if they have open areas to take off to like in GTA V.

it's technically and mechanically better
but it also has less to offer

...

So, the answer is obviously yes.

The only thing V did better than IV was shooting mechanics and customization. IV wins in every other category though so yes.

Developers just can't seem to make a new game and incorporate the best things of the last game and fix the bad things of the bad games either.

Simple fucking task really.

All the GTA developers had to do was follow the damn train.

...

This thread is the definition of what people mean when they say Sup Forums is just for being contrarion and shitposting.

This shit pissed me off so much

>bunch of examples on why a game is better

In terms of the physics engine IV is objectively better, but what about the game as a whole? Missions, the map, fun?

I found the heists in V to be fun but there really weren't enough

>clear evidences of a game being superior to the other
>contrarion
kys

Except IV is objectively AND subjectively better than V.

>he hasn't mastered IV's driving mechanics
youtube.com/watch?v=TLTZ7istR68

As has been said GTA IV had good mechanics, good atmosphere and was more cosy but did not have the ability to modify cars, fly shit nor beat around at top speeds in car in open areas.

I've preferred IV ever since the release of V. It's hard to describe how disappointing it was.

The melee was actually improved IMO, it's less deep but more fun to knock the shit out of people

Isn't it obvious?

>beat around at top speeds in car in open areas
neither did V, at least not without mods.

>one button, OHKO
>improved

Well i mean more straight roads. You can do the ring road around the dessert at top speed weaving in and out of cars.

On IV you had to be careful on the straights. You get the idea.

Less confidence in going fast in IV was a pain.

It's strange how ever since GTA San Andreas they haven't been able to make another GTA that just beats everything. There are things better about IV and V than San Andreas. But San Andreas literally stomped every GTA before it. Why can't (correction WON'T) they make a completely better GTA in every way.

Except the video shows somebody taking 3-4 hits to get knocked on his ass

You could easily trigger 0HKO in GTA4 too

IV was pretentious, so no.

I never had those issues. I guess it's because of getting used to getting past people in racing games.

The worst part about IV was that it didn't know what it wanted to be.

It had a relatively serious story but the world was still filled with innuendos and shit.
It's was a fucking mess tonally.

I thought the whole point of GTA IV being smaller was so they could fine tune the new engine. Why is GTA V worse? How do you fuck that up? It didn't have any of the hurdles to overcome that GTA IV did.

>less deep
>more fun

FUCKING FUNBOYS I SWEAR TO GOD! REEEE!

GTA4 was garbage, and 5 improves on it in every regard, even physics

Because they being played like puppets by children and adult and can't seem to find the biggest profit margin.

In GTA V they rid atmosphere of IV and make mechanics/physics simpler to appeal to the pubeless teens turned pubed teens of earlier generations. They clearly felt more profits in the younger audience.

I think their management screwed the development up. Their intelligence wasn't there.
Young people will happily play a physics game like IV with more serious atmosphere if the map allows fun.
They didn't have the time to make IV more fun essentially.
The bank system in GTA V is totally fucked cuz they ran out of time.

GTA V is a game where they assumed profits would be big but failed at the psychology and feel of a game appealing to all people not just the biggest profit audience.

Not entering the combat stance is an automatic KO.

>342245291
IV does some minor, technical stuff the best but the map itself makes for such a better, more enjoyable game world in V that I don't care at all about the rest.

GTA V didn't have the cosy dank atmosphere of IV though. Don't think of fun features because thats separate.
I Mean mood, lighting, weather systems etc.

That's just strange to me because new Zelda does a lot of "those little things" like GTA IV did and its garnering so much attention that it BTFO'd an entire E3.

GTA 5 has better story and missions
GTA 4 has better overall mechanics

GTAV is better in every way except technology.

Alright.
GTA 5 is better than the fucked up GTA 4.
Why?
Because GTA 5 has more of everything, first, more vehicle, more weapon, more customization option for both vehicle and weapon AND your own character.
Second. GTA 5 had a better story with better character. Every missions are cool as fuck and better than the fetch mission that GTA 4 had, the heist were REALLY well made and the cinematics were absolutely amazing.
Third, the graphic. No shit filter or anything.
Fourth, THE GAME WAS WELL OPTIMIZED ON PC COMPARED TO GTA 4 AND THE MAP IS BIGGER AND BETTER THAN GTA 4. THERE IS WILDLIFE IN BOTH LAND AND SEA, THE WORLD FEEL ALIVE.

Now fuck off.

Literally objectively wrong as proven in this thread

>better story
>ends right when it's getting good
Sure.

I just wish GTA IV was actually playable, if any game needed a remaster it is that.

If you think that a cosy dank mood should have dull, industrial grey/brown tones then yes this absolutely.

As opposed to GTAIV story which was boring shit start to finish.

It was overkill yes but they didn't get balance in V or IV because IV was more threatening and V was like a doll in a clothes shop.

Theres no mood in GTA V though. Yes your right but it just needs that from a development stand point.

Actually if you use the native trainer you can get a pretty cozy vibe still. It's everything else that sucked.

more =/= better
Also the story was thin and boring because of having 3 protagonists
>A gamefrom 2013 looks better than a game from 2008
whoa... you're right...
Fair enough on the last point

V have a cozy sunny Cali feel to it, and that's way better than moody brooding NY feel.

>and missions
DLC missions > V missions.
Also, V's story easily is the worst in the series, what are you smoking?

>more weapons

I wish it had less. When ever I brought up the weapon wheel I could not make up my mind what weapon to use because they all act so similar. Wish the 3 characters would of had their own weapon classes or something.

V has no feel at all. It's empty and bland like 95% of modern Western sandbox games.

There's a common as fuck glitch in GTA V that's been unpatched now for two years, any enemy with an automatic weapon will randomly fire it like a minigun and kill you instantly with their absurdly perfect accuracy, GTA IV had nothing enraging like that, so yeah, one point to GTA IV there.

>GTA V has better free roaming
>no interior buildings
senpai

I loved GTA 4's driving. It was the best of the series.

Then i'm sorry but you got a shit brain to not feel it.
You can see the weapon stats on the upper right of the weapon wheel tought.
Yes, more is better. More variety is always welcome. You want 130 vehicle like GTA 4 compared to 190 vehicle from GTA san andreas? GTA 4 was already a downgrade then.
Yes. The graphic count. Because it means there have been progress on the engine.

Gta4 driving and guns are top

I really hate how rockstar had the resources to program a proper pit maneuver but instead does this cheap tire locking shit.

V is really, really shit.

The story is inane, the characters are uninteresting, the set-pieces are the same regurgitated shit GTA has been doing for too long.

The open world aspect is completely ruined by the god awful AI. The civilians DELIBERATELY crash into you for no reason. The police force turn into an unstoppable teleporting army once you go above three stars.

The shit just isn't fun anymore.

It's irrelevant because VC and SA stomp on them.

>more weapons,vehicles etc.
Irrelevant, considering that many are functionally the same as each other.

>better missions
More limited and gimmicky missions you mean.

>better story
No. Just no. V has one of the most schizophrenic stories I've ever seen in any game I've ever played. Certain events have no build up, there's no central theme or sense of progression, and the characters are under-developed. It's telling that the only way they could wrap up that mess was by killing off half the cast.

>tfw i play with a 4 weapon limit in GTAV and use a realistic amount of mag i can carry

Makes the game much more fun desu

>You can see the weapon stats on the upper right of the weapon wheel tought.

Whats the point. SMG, AR, pistol all shoot bullets straight and have no real visual or noticeable damage differences during use.

This tbqh
They were especially great in multiplayer. The nightclubs, Playboy X's penthouse, the Majestic hotel, the MeTV skyscraper, lawyer offices...

How is that fair against police army that knows you killed soneone when there is no witness around

I use a mod for that too

hue

Not really. I recently played through every single GTA game starting from the original game, and honestly the improvements with the physics engine and the satisfying gunfights are more important than the wacky arcade PS1-era gameplay (even San Andreas has many aspects of GTA1)

They are all fun as fuck though

Yeah, in pretty much every way.
GTA V may of been bigger, but it was empty as fuck.
It's a real shame Rockstar went the the multiplayer focus. The game really sufffered because of it.

So true. The police become a fucking pain. You shoot them because they piss you off then the engine just says fine fuck it have 4 police cars every minute.

The physics engine in GTA V is a massive downgrade from GTA IV.

It doesn't matter that 5 has more vehicles when they all handle the exact same way.
