I'm going to say something that will probably piss you all off so much that you may hate me for it, so you should probably leave... Seriously, its bad... This is your last chance... Okay, but I warned you... I prefer Grand Theft Auto 4 over Grand Theft Auto 5... I feel everyone making hate comments already.
Now, I don't hate GTA5, in fact, I think its one of the best games of this generation, but, compared to GTA4, it could be better. Now, lets see why I like GTA4. Well, I like this a little more due to its story. It was a little more (Okay, a lot more) serious then GTA5. This was mainly due to the characters. Niko seemed to be dealing with lots of problems, while the characters in GTA5 seemed to have it easy. Also, Trevor, even though he is one of the greatest characters in the game, seemed to just be there for comic relief. Sure, Roman from GTA4 tried to be funny at times, too. But, he was also taking things serious as well, where as Trevor never really seemed to take anything seriously. Also, the ending to both games was completely different (Warning, spoilers for GTA4 and GTA5) In GTA%, there is a choice to kill either Michael or Trevor, however, you can actually save them both, so it just makes the seriousness, a little less, where as in GTA4, not only is it impossible to save both Roman and Kate, but you don't even know which will die until after you make the choice. It just makes it difficult and all the more sad and serious when it happens. Also, this may be stupid, but I just got to say the music on the radio is a little better in GTA4. The radio in GTA5 is just a little... tedious. And all the rock songs are something I've never even heard of in my life by bands I've never heard of in my life. However, there are some things GTA5 did better. The story was longer, and there was a lot more freedom and, I will admit, the actual composed music that wasn't licensed by actual celebrities was actually well done.
All in all, GTA's 4 and 5 are great, if not perfect games, but, I just prefer the 4th a little more. But, hay, that's only my opinion. What's Your Take
