I still remember the goosebumps I got when the theme kicks into high gear and the GRAND THEFT AUTO IV title drops as the boat sails towards Liberty City.

For me it is. IV has the best of many things in GTA like story, characters, setting, atmosphere, etc. As for theme rankings:

IV > VC > 3 > 1 > LCS > 2 > VCS > SA > V

IV was the worst in everything, you name it, GTA IV did the the worst

That's not true, the shooting was leagues better than any GTA that came out before it

Best GTA game. I think I prefer the theme in Liberty City Stories though.

And vehicle damage, and melee combat, and many other things.

I know many didn't like IV, but at least give it some credit for the things it did right.

I also preferred the driving in IV over the previous games, but I know I'm in the minority on that

Same. Always felt most of the complaints were so overblown (same for the friends calling you). I think many people who hate on it so much just never used the brakes nor let off the gas and expected to make perfect 90 degree turns while going 50 mph.

My thing with the driving is I liked how every aspect of it leaned on analog controls. Treat it like a real car and it controls beautifully. Floor it everywhere you go and it will skid all over the place

Right. It made cruising around the city more fun to me. That and the whole atmosphere IV had. The city really felt alive.

I love the more grounded/realistic tone. I like to compare IV and V to TV shows. IV is like The Wire/The Sopranos and V is like Breaking Bad. Both are great in their own ways, but everyone has a certain preference and I like the relatively more grounded stuff.

IV just needed more side things to do maybe.

I really like GTA IV. I'd put it just behind VC. I really enjoyed all the side content, hanging out with friends, getting drunk etc. Really fun game.

Theme song is awesome, but I have to say I like VC better. 3 is also really good.

I love the driving in IV. It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's so good. After a while, the whole experience is so smooth, and actually fun.

I'm so fixing to boot up IV and play again thanks to this topic. It's been too long.

It really is. Lots of the time I'd just drive around because it was so fun.

The intro cutscene and it's usually the short riff for completing the mission

That one stretch from the north part of Algonquin at the park, all the way to the south of the island. Going as fast as you can. Just flying through traffic, dodging everything, right until the inevitable, glorious collision with some stupid car coming from the left, and Niko flying out of the car and casually brushing it off.

I could do that for hours.

I still remember taking my stimulus money to the store and buying a 360 on the day GTA IV came out. Shit was amazing

I 100%'d GTAIV a few months ago. The relief of shooting that final pigeon and getting the 200/200 text on screen... oof.

Just did this. I think I used the right road. While driving a Comet, I fly down the road, have a couple of collisions, but smoothly recover, hit the barriers at the construction site and fly out of the car right into a ditch right on top of some arcing electrical wires.

I did that once and once was enough for me. Somehow it wasn't as fun as finding hidden packages. It sucked that you'd get a wanted level most of the time because you're firing off a shot in the middle of a city.

Yeah that hidden pigeon thing sounded dumb.

If the game had silenced weapons it would be much less of a pain. I just didn't bother.

Anyone recommend any good mods for the game?

Ive never played GTA IV for the PC, but I bought it for Steam a couple years back on a sale, and just never got around to it. Last time I played it was ten years ago, when the last DLC came out for it (on PS3), so Im excited and inspired by this topic to get back into it lol
