{{Gripe}}The airplanes at Francis International Airport are stuck in an eternal taxiing loop: they never take off, and no planes ever land, which detracts heavily from the purported realism of the game. They're invincible also, which is annoying. | {{Gripe}}The airplanes at Francis International Airport are stuck in an eternal taxiing loop: they never take off, and no planes ever land, which detracts heavily from the purported realism of the game.

{{Gripe}}The construction should progress and finish up, reopening the streets, but it doesn't. Another -1 for realism in GTAIV. | |||

{{Gripe}}The city is grossly under populated. Go to Star Junction at 9pm on a Friday Night and it is deserted. 5pm on a Friday, there is some traffic, but for what it is supposed to be it just falls short again. There are more peds behind the flats in Northwood than in Star Junction. The report that Rockstar modeled the traffic on NYC is pure garbage. Living breathing city....not even close. | {{Gripe}}The city is grossly under populated.

{{Gripe}}The moving lights that appear on the streets at night while up in the air (probably to simulate traffic and save memory) are poorly plotted. They go in the wrong direction on the street, go diagonally and do weird things, making the feeling of a heavily populated city vanish. | |||

{{Gripe}}Rockstar should of | {{Gripe}}Rockstar should of at least brung back at least one character from the [[GTA III era]] games. I mean, what ever happened to the [[Leone Family]] in the seven years leading upto the events in [[GTA IV]]]. Stuff like this should of been answered in this game, where I really expected Rockstar to build on a successful era of story-lines instead of taking 100 paces back to a new beginning. | ||
:{{Rebut}}Even though R* said GTA IV is set in a new universe, evidence exists to prove otherwise. Lazlow references Chatterbox FM and Vice City radio stations and San Andreas is alluded to massively in the game. | :{{Rebut}}Even though R* said GTA IV is set in a new universe, evidence exists to prove otherwise.
