 12 Years Passed, GTA IV Are Still the Best | GTA For Life

Rockstar Games is indeed one of the developers who did not have half the time to make a project listed Grand Theft Auto. Yes, since the name of this franchise skyrocketed through Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Rockstar continues to explore what is contained in this franchise until the conclusion in 2008, they spawned Grand Theft Auto IV.

12 years ago, I had not had a chance to finish this game altogether after it was intrigued to play it back from an early age. Yes, I only understand Grand Theft Auto IV through a computer. In the past, playing Grand Theft Auto IV required qualified specifications because the ports were not perfect, so Grand Theft Auto IV was a specification-friendly game.

But now, in 2019, the conclusion is that I am trying to play this game from the computer with the right alignment setting (certainly without mod, because it is magically working on the file bro bro). Then how is the quality of the game that has been 11 years old? Is it still relevant to play? Is the quality able to be equated with contemporary games?

This is the result of the nostalgia for my review of the Grand Theft Auto IV game.

Physic Quality is Equivalent

What I want to highlight the first time in this series is how Rockstar Games improves its physics. Yes, this physic encompasses many things that can be from the attitude of the NPC, the movement of personality that we play, the movement of objects in the immediate area, to the impact on inanimate objects. It all has physical and corrections if I'm wrong for sure.

I must say if the physical quality possessed by Grand Theft Auto IV is almost equivalent to Red Dead Redemption 2. Car steering, impact when collision, NPC impact, personality impact when walking, area impact, all are realistic especially far beyond the Grand Theft Auto V which released in 2013.

What I really like is of course the NPCs covering their heads with newspapers or running around when the rain comes. I love you GTA IV!

Red Dead Redemption 2 also has a good physic and would like a lot if elaborated.

Dark and Mature Stories

What's interesting about this series is undeniably the true story is dark, bitter, and aged. What makes me say that? Early on, Niko Bellic's personality was always miserable especially when he first set foot into Liberty City. Second, there are so many personalities with various interests that demand gamers to keep remembering what is intertwined. Small children want to make it difficult to process the story from Grand Theft Auto IV perfectly.

Third, there are a lot of old things that we don't know of such as the life of a mafia person who in fact is very fond of his child until we are obliged to participate in the porn business.

It must be acknowledged, with everything contained, this game is a masterpiece. Moreover, the depth of the Grand Theft Auto V story is nothing compared to its predecessor. The Mafia is actually interpreted in detail in Grand Theft Auto IV. So it's normal if Grand Theft Auto IV won the 2008 Game of the Year.

Options in Stories Are Not Just Gimmick

I was very choked up with games that shared options, but instead it was only a gimmick. Yes, gimmick because it doesn't affect anything on the story line. But for Grand Theft Auto IV, the options available are not a gimmick. Because each option that you live demands you to a different ending.

Not only that there are consequences in each option. For example you are told to kill A or B. When you kill A, there will be consequences as well as the opposite. Options like this that in the end made the hero expedition, Niko Bellic like a roller coaster.

Niko Bellic is Human

The next interesting thing to highlight is the personality of Niko Bellic who is human, can be guilty and hurt. Yes, Niko Bellic is not a perfectly interpreted form. Instead, it is a form that is unstable, easily swayed, and sometimes seems rushed in making decisions.

Moreover, Niko has a later traumatic traumatic event so that she is often haunted by worry. The depiction that I really like is how Niko is unstable in some moments for example when he did not want to beat up Vlad but because Roman kept whining, until Niko beat Vlad let alone to kill him.

Not only is it very interesting the other is when Niko is shown like an innocent personality who is often deceived by Roman. Niko's humanity is so visible and like that that makes this game so attractive to the eyes of the individual.

Still Worth playing?

I answered this issue immediately yes. The reason is because the story of this game is good, deep, and total. Second, because of the realistic gameplay mechanism. Third, because of the many interesting side missions. Fourth, lots of plot twist. Fifth because the theme is about mafia-mafia.

The five alibis reinforce that Grand Theft Auto IV is still worth playing especially in 2020 or 12 years after the game is launched.
