Top Ten Reasons Grand Theft Auto IV Sucks

The Top Ten
1 Not As Many Features As San Andreas

U can't fly planes or control the train (sorry I played Grand Theft Auto 4 a very long time ago so sorry if there are no trains) yeah and also Grand Theft Auto 4 is just has a map of a stupid city and u don't have much space to do stunts on the bike and if u can't do stunts why did they create the bike in this game? And there are not much myths the only myths I know are these alligators in the sewer and the rat man

Grand Theft Auto IV has no fun weapons like chainsaw, flamethrower of minigun, no bicycle, no jetpack, no burglary sidemissions, no paramedic missions, no firefighter mission, no gambling, no cheats for fun stuff like riot or aggressive drivers, only reward from vigilante missions is achievement.

No cheats like Grand Theft Auto 5 pedestrian riot missing plus rockstar paid of reviewers 10/10 hoax laugh out loud.

99.9% of video games don't have as many features as San Andreas.

Grand Theft Auto IV still has a lot of content compared to most games. And even such, I think specializing (at least for the first title of the gen) is better than muddling around.

2 Car Handling

It was too realistic and needs to he taken into consideration by the Grand Theft Auto authority of gaming and enterprise in the United States government.

I can't even do a chase with the horrible car handling

I hate Grand Theft Auto 4 for this reason

The driving is acceleration based.

3 No Chance of Using Airplanes and Helicopters

You're stupid. Helicopters are usable in the game. And these are all horrible reasons. Grand Theft Auto IV is a great game. You just have to small of a mind to fully comprehend your own stupidity.

What you spit on Grand Theft Auto 4 without knowing the game! We can use helicopters! Grand Theft Auto 4 is an awesome game, it is more serious than San Andreas that's it!

You should do it no chance of using airplanes and trains not no chance of using airplanes and helicopters

Helicopters are usable but don't even think about stealing a plane on the airport,it's a waste of money and time because when the police shoots u,u have to pay money in the hospital

4 The Map is Entirely City

It sucks being in trashy New York City. If I wanted to see the city I could go there any day. Sure there's some nice parts to the city, just like in real life, but the rest is like any other North East city.. run down with no charm.

You have a bike you want to do some bike stunts on a giant desert and you search and no desert! This is why Grand Theft Auto 4 is trash

The city is polluted that's why there are no animals except dogs and birds...or maybe there are no birds and puppies too?

U have an awesome bike and u wanna do some stunts on the mountains or whatever and they your like "maybe I will do some backflips on the mountain hill" and then u go steal a helicopter and then u look around...no mountain! And u can throw your bike in the sea because it's useless now -_-

5 No Tanks (Except for Gay Tony)

No tanks, no accessible planes,no bicycles, no customizations, no ability to swim underwater, no creative and unique missions... And the amount of love this overrated boring trash gets is mesmerizing. Grand Theft Auto 4 fanboys who think thinks this game is the best obviously haven't played other Grand Theft Auto games. Because those who did know that this was the worst Grand Theft Auto game. Grand Theft Auto 4 is garbage.

So this tank is a gay?

6 Too Many Phone Calls

The well-known annoying phone call from Roman: "cousin, let's go bowling"

Guys, bring up the phone, go to settings, and to to sleep mode

But the thing is I got Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 but I play five so why I am reading dis?

You know you can disable the phone right

7 Can't Customize Cars

It is a very major problem in Grand Theft Auto 4 that you can only paint yous car

8 Boring Gameplay

It was really agonizing playing the game. It's no fun at all, literally. There's absolutely no storyline. Grossly and vastly over-hype and over-rated. It will bore you to tears with all the repetitive tasks like, go steal a car, go chase down this car, go find this person, go make you girlfriend happy, go make your friends happy, etc. Vehicle handling was like s*, after you had made a 90 degree turn, the camera is still facing the initial direction that you were on, you can't see where you're heading. The game is buggy too, without the patch, you won't be able to bowl or play pool (not to suggest that they were any fun). It's ridiculous that it was getting like a 10/10 everywhere.

I have to admit, some of the missions are repetitive. But really! Kidnapping, helicopter chase, stealing diamonds, and BOWLING? Really? That's not to repetitive, if you ask me. Also, the amazing plot and characters fully make up for any repetition.

The missions are boring and repetitive, every mission is the same procedure: drive here, shoot people, shoot cops, lose the heat. Iv you've never played San Andreas, you'd be amazed at how creative those missions were.

This game sucks. I don't understand all the hype about Grand Theft Auto. I keep waiting for something to happen. I've never liked a single one of them. Play Sleeping Dogs.

9 Horrible Currency System

The only thing you can buy is guns clothes and car repairs. Clothes are cheap and car repair is cheaper. You end up with 1,000,000 and nothing to buy.

Niko has $400,000 to his name and he's still killing people for $1000 per head because he "really needs the money".

That's not true. You can also buy food and drinks, and pay to play bowling if you're bored.

Get billions after you beat the game but nothing to buy with it big dissapointment

10 Annoying Friend System

*Calls Packie*

Niko: Hey Packie, want to get a drink?

Patrick: Niko, you woke me up

Niko: Sorry, maybe another time then

*Packie like percentage down by 10%*

The Contenders
11 Too Much Realism

They don't make Grand Theft Auto games like they used to, they should bring back the Grand Theft Auto 3 era feel, Grand Theft Auto 4 is great, but compared to the Grand Theft Auto 3 era, its nothing.

I agree I think grand 4 is to real compared to the other Grand Theft Auto's

Say it to grand theft auto five its head will explode

How is it bad for being too real? Please answer.

12 Stupid Game Plot

If you think Grand Theft Auto V's plot is better than IV's you have no taste in games with plot. I can't even remember who the main villain is in Grand Theft Auto V, or even if there is one.

What are you talking about the plot is awesome!

Worst plot ever in any Grand Theft Auto game.

Your whole childhood and adulthood is a stupid plot.

13 Crappy Multiplayer
14 Screen Is Too Dark

I ALWAYS use cheats in Grand Theft Auto 5 or 4 if am to lazy to steal an airplane or whatever and I use it for weather too u can use sunny cheat

You can brighten it up by finding your settings...

Change of weather cheat! Make it sunny

When it's night I can't see anything

15 Terrible Physics System

Are you kidding? Euphoria had the best physics system along with the best driving in all Grand Theft Auto, it actually felt like tripping and handling. you monkeys need everything handed?

Seriously? I mean, everyone is taking about how great Grand Theft Auto IV physics is the so great and there are even Grand Theft Auto 4 physics mod for Grand Theft Auto 5!

If any shooter had physics, everybody would die in one shot.

What? Grand Theft Auto iv have one of the BEST physics of alll time

16 The Sixaxis Tutorial

It's not my thing in this part of the game because I can't even drive a car while using a game controller as a turn wheel! How dumb can that be?

Every time I go to activate a cheat, I activate this annoying troll thing.

17 Lack of Customization

Grand Theft Auto has always been a balance of a fixed narrative and make your own narrative. You need a balance of both and Grand Theft Auto 4 leaned a bit too far into the fixed part.

If you could customize a car or apartment or something either than clothes it would be a lot better

18 Sexual Content

I mean really. It is an adult game but DAMN there is too much sex. It's pointless. The only point to it is to make pervs happy. It's only there to cause controversy to make the game even more popular. Rockstar, tone it down please.

Ever played Grand Theft Auto San Andreas? It has many sexual content such as Catalina's phone call after completing the mission "End of The Line". Grand Theft Auto IV is rated 17+.

Too much sex? When? In the whole main story there is 0 sexual content, if you don't pay prostitutes and don't "try your luck" there is virtually 0 sex.

Oh... you are 3 years old and you are impressed when seeing sex in Grand Theft Auto?

19 A Liberty City Rehash Was Done Before

Grand Theft Auto 1, Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto advanced, Grand Theft Auto lcs were all in liberty city. Whats wrong with vice city or san andreas? And this rehash wasnt even all that great compared to 3 and lcs.

Los santos is better than liberty city

20 Boring Clothing

I only get to pick between some dumb suits, dirty clothing, and some odd stuff dads at home wear? I was expecting some nice clothing, but the best I could find is a tuxedo? Not enough selections for clothing.

Do they have masks there? Like my special stunt space monkey mask that I only use for stunts in Grand Theft Auto 5?

21 Different Canonicity
22 Bad Fighting
23 It's GTA

It's Grand Theft Auto? What the hell?

What the... I don't get this...

24 Boring Story

The only fun mission in the whole game, was the mission when you (spoiler alert) do a jail break with Niko and Packie and everyone else. The rest of the game is boring, not enough adventure and when you finish the game, you do nothing but sit around with nothing to do. I wanted to go do heists or something, but you can't even get airplanes only some dumb looking helicopters.

I wouldn't consider it boring because it's supposed to show the life of a criminal. The storyline isn't "boring", it's sad and tragic.

25 Gives Bad Examples for Kids

Grand Theft Auto is rated 17+ for all of the games except for Grand Theft Auto 2, which was rated for teens.

Seriously a 8 years old kid killed his grandma with a gun because of this game

Am 9 and I play Grand Theft Auto 5 and 4 your jelly?

If you give this game to a small kid what does it make you...A bad pearnt
