Parts in which San Andreas was definatly better.

General_Gregory · 05-02-2008

To explain, I love GTA IV, and I think it was better than San Andreas. But...
No Plane Flying,
No Armed Robberies,
You're Not a Black Gangster,
There Aren't Gangs (At least not yet...),
Can't Walk Into As Many Places,
Cops Are Freakin Everwhere,
No Parachutes,
People Annoyingly Call Me Constantly,
and no strength/stamina/clothes customization (or at least its mad weak in this one).

Then again, the Rag Doll physics make it comepletly worth it when I can just drive fast and be in complete awe of what is happening. You will see the craziest things. Driving, hit the e-brakes and went sideways into a guy, and it pinned him against the wall-barricade thing, and he slumpt on the side of my car.

San Andreas was a great game but IMO SA put the RPG aspects in because it was laking substance. I am dissapointed that I cant buff Niko, but IV is still way better.

You can set your phone to sleep mode which will stop all incoming calls/texts and stop the missions.

Out of that list, I agree with the parachute and cops being everywhere. Very annoying.

Unfortunatley, I can't play this game because my XBOX 360 is away getting fixed for the first time. From what I've seen from all of the review videos that I could find on YouTube... this game is amazing. Probably a thousand times better than San Andreas, just for the fact that there is so much detail put into the city.

Niko's fat. There's one.

I hear that the reason you can't fly airplanes is because of 9/11. They didn't want to have people crashing planes into buildings because it'd be disrespectful. This is just something I heard so don't take it as truth. I don't really mind since I never played San Andreas and don't really know how cool it was to fly the big jets.

I miss the car customization, I dont believe there is any in this game. I also liked the character customization before.

That is the reason we only had the Dodo in GTAIII, planes were taken out just before they shipped the game. They said the GTAIV setting would make planes pointless but it's probably more because of 9/11.

Especially when LC kind of looks like NY

Maybe that's because it's supposed to be New York City.

I don't think any parts in SA were truly better. I liked the parachuts and wish they were in the game, but they are such miniscule differences that they don't make a big impact.

The cover system is awesome, too.

Plus, I couldn't roll in a bad *** suit.

I love when missions specify that I must be wearing a suit, even though I'm always sporting one.
