I first played the game during the Great Twattering so my opinions on it were soured. I have replayed it again and I have to say, I was completely wrong and harsh about it. GTA 4 is not better than it, it is not overrated. The story of the game is intricate and well done. The gameplay is near flawless, the driving being better than the oil spill of GTA 4. The three protagonists also add depth to the game, although it can be confusing at times. The only gripes I have is that there aren't as many missions as in GTA 4, but there is more to do. Otherwise I gave it 9.5/10.

The driving in GTA 5 is better than in 4, for sure.
They both take some getting used to compared to the arcade-style driving the series used to go for, but in GTA 5 they toned down the "realism" to playable levels.
I hated driving missions in GTA 4, especially ones on motorbikes. In GTA 5 you can go an entire mission without damaging your vehicle and there are even achievements for doing so.

I can drive one handed with my Xbox controller in GTA 5. Can't in 4, in fact, I still have trouble driving in 4.

IV is like a drunk driving simulator.
I like San Andreas the most. I love CJs comments about everything. It also parodied the whole '90s gangsta rap thing but it felt light-hearted and fun. And OG Loc ? I could never really get used to Nico Bellic but I loved CJ.

San Andreas is the best GTA, perhaps even my favourite game of all time.

@OP
How did you feel about the fact that no one mentions the assassination of Caesar after you complete the Dark Brotherhood questline, and Caesar's Legion just carries on as if nothing happened? Didn't that break your immersion?

Excuse me, those are two completely different video games and not GTA 5. I don't know where you get your gaming facts from, but you need to check them. The Dark Brotherhood were a faction in Skyrim and Caesar's Legion were a faction in Fallout: New Vegas. They are two completely different games and in know way related to GTA 5!

My personal favorite experience in Skyrim was the plot twist where Jack of Blades reveals that the Lone Wanderer is, in fact, Darth Kotor suffering from amnesia. Thanks.
