Really didnt enjoy GTA4, just felt wrong. The characters, the story itself, the missions. For an open world game it felt so linear. They took "Choice" away, said play it this way or dont play it at all. All i could buy was guns, guns and more guns. Plus i had half a mill in the bank yet i'm still this poor, filthy nico belic from the balkans looking for the american dream.
San Andreas gave you options, buying property, business, casino's, gym's, fast food, clothes and such. You didnt have to do all those things, but hey if you wanted to you had the choice to.
Also from GTA3 to S.A, I loved the radio stations, the weird chats, i'd just listen to them, they were funny. Its like Rockstar just took the fun out of GTA4.
Excited to see what they've got in store though regardless.
