{{Gripe}}In San Andreas, you would be able to raise your driving skill. However in GTA IV you cannot do so, which makes driving hard and unrewarding. Obviously, if you do a lot of driving, you become more experienced in it. Not having the ability to raise your driving skill detracts from realism in the game. | {{Gripe}}In San Andreas, you would be able to raise your driving skill.

:{{Rebut}}If you stored a lot of weapons in the trunk of your Infernus and it would go up in flames in a police chase, you'd be pretty angry to loose a car AND some expensive weapons. Also, it would be pretty time consuming to put the weapons in the trunk and take them out a few blocks later. | |||

:{{Rebut}}There has to be a pretty stupid person not to notice a man sitting behind their motorcycle putting a bomb under the motor, don't you think so?? | |||

:::{{Rebut}}There is no real sense on hanging onto a helicopter and then falling down, don't you think so? | |||
{{Gripe}}The cover system is weird, and sometimes doesn't work correctly. Niko will take cover at a corner in plain sight of the enemy, instead of the other side. | {{Gripe}}The cover system is weird, and sometimes doesn't work correctly.

::::{{Rebut}}R* said that the game will be much more realistic than previous games. Have you ever seen a man done a basejump with several guns and maybe an RPG down the TImes Square, then shooting 200 people?? | |||

::{{Gripe}}It happens the same thing and much worse than the first one. It would have been better if [[Rockstar Games]] would fix this problem, rather than just asking you to save the game yourself too often. | ::{{Gripe}}It happens the same thing and much worse than the first one.

{{Gripe}}The realism of the game seems extremely inconsistent, and if you want examples, just read over a good half of the previous gripes. It would seem to me that a game that sold for 500 million on the first day would have the budget (and let's face it, from previous GTAs Rock* had the budget) to put some more effort and, dare I say, "polish," into the game. For me, it just felt like GTA III all over again--the exception being that some of the characters were more vivid and interesting, and the plotline kept me hooked. If there is a GTA V (and I'm assuming there will be) I really hope they put more time into it.

{{Gripe}} Somethings in the game bothers me since they are transitioning GTA games to be more realistic. Whats the purpose of all those big buildings and you can't access them or destroy them. And how come when you blow up people they fly backward or upward? From what I've seen when you shoot a rocket or throw a grenade at somebody, limbs suppose to come off...i mean in previous GTA games when you shoot somebody in the head with a powerful weapon it disappears. Wassup with that? | {{Gripe}} Somethings in the game bothers me since they are transitioning GTA games to be more realistic.

:{{Rebut}} They wanted to keep the M Rating on this game. GTA IV looks much more realistic as Vice City or SA did. In fact, Vice City and SA looked a bit like a comic to me. | |||

:{{Rebut}}For me, playing basketball was just an useless timekiller, like the arcade games or the gym. It doesn't really alter the gameplay. | |||
{{Gripe}}Wouldnt it be nice if you could destroy those bridges and cause havoc? All you have to do is drive off to a differnt area and come back and the bridge would be right there. But not only the bridges, the buildings as well. | {{Gripe}}Wouldnt it be nice if you could destroy those bridges and cause havoc?

:{{Rebut}} That's not possible in the current generation (PS3 and Xbox360 is the current gen, not NextGen!), also it wouldn't be very realistic, if they'd pop up, when you go for a little ride round the block. | |||
{{Gripe}}Compared to True Crime: New York City and its realism, GTA IV lacks in some areas. OK when Niko is about to open a door, he just pushes it; doesnt turn any knob or nothing. What door with a knob just opens like that? | {{Gripe}}Compared to True Crime: New York City and its realism, GTA IV lacks in some areas.

:{{Rebut}}It's not important to gameplay and it would be rather annoying after some time, or even deadly in a police chase. | |||
