::::{{Gripe}}Yes, which is fine, but it is the fact that R* had previously put in GTA fire engines that put out fires, and now that feature is taken out in IV. Obviously it wasn't hard to program, so why leave it out now? Sure, you could set a vehicle on fire, grab an engine and put it out yourself, but the bottom line is R* nixed a feature, whether it was "worth it or not" misses the whole point of realism. | ::::{{Gripe}}Yes, which is fine, but it is the fact that R* had previously put in GTA fire engines that put out fires, and now that feature is taken out in IV.

:::::{{Rebut}}Actually, when there's a fire, I call the fire department but by the time they get there, the fire's already out, so they just leave. The fire in San Andreas went out slowly and the fire department came quicker. Thus, them having to put out the fire. | :::::{{Rebut}}Actually, when there's a fire, I call the fire department but by the time they get there, the fire's already out, so they just leave.

::::::{{Gripe}}Very untrue. I called 911 to call the FDLC and when they arrive (the cars are still burning) they see the fire, yet does'nt make any effort to put it out. Just another failed attempt of realism by R*. | |||

::{{Gripe}}Then how come small trees becomes invincible?

:::{{Rebut}}Think of how deep the roots could be, and it would be near impossible to pull the roots out just by ramming your car into it. To take the tree out, you would have to dig it out, cut off as much as you can, then poison the roots. | :::{{Rebut}}Think of how deep the roots could be, and it would be near impossible to pull the roots out just by ramming your car into it.

::::{{Gripe}}If you've ever seen a tree, you know that they can be easily knocked down by a vehicle, or pulled out by a storm. | ::::{{Gripe}}If you've ever seen a tree, you know that they can be easily knocked down by a vehicle, or pulled out by a storm. Trees in real life are not invincible; I pull trees out with a cable and a pickup truck. The trees should not be invincible in GTA4, especially since you can easily knock down a 12" steel pole, fixed to the ground by a concrete block and 3 foot long rods. Even small trees in Saints Row could be destroyed. | ||

{{Gripe}}R* says that "you can finish the game without a single loading screen". It turns out that R* was lying, because there are loading times when accessing into missions or multiplayers. | {{Gripe}}R* says that "you can finish the game without a single loading screen".

{{Gripe}}The flashing lights you see flying over liberty city at night look like planes from the ground, but if you go up in a heli they are just lights floating around the sky.
