Don’t get me wrong, I love gta V also. When I first played it, I thought the return to arcade driving and fun over-the-top story/characters was a breath of fresh air. After all these years though, the vibe of IV just has that staying power for me. It’s like the same feeling I get rewatching Heat, which is fitting since both games have missions directly inspired by the movie — only IV is the one that matches it’s tone.
