I Hope GTA 6 Borrows a Lot From GTA 4
I've been playing Grand Theft Auto 4 for the first time since 2008, and there's a lot in it that I hope Rockstar borrows for GTA 6.
I recently revisited Grand Theft Auto 4 after an extended absence, and it sparked some nostalgic thoughts. Despite the passage of time, the game continues to captivate me. The city of Liberty City feels lived-in and familiar, and I found myself appreciating the driving experience once again, even if some may view it as controversial.
What struck me most was the depth and authenticity of the game's relationship system, which allows for both romantic and platonic bonds. It offers a compelling reflection of the experience of moving to a big city where you know almost no one. The small touches in Rockstar's world, such as the bowling alley signage and the humorous details, add to the overall charm and make the game feel timeless.
While some aspects, like mission design, may need improvement, the combination of humor and sincerity in GTA 4 makes it stand out as one of the best stories in the series.
