:::{{Gripe}}Irrelevant. While the helecopter thing MAY be true(which I doubt). R* truly did remove most of the costumization features of the game which made it so personal. The gameplay and effects have improved to an extent but, this is to be expected with the new hardware on the 360 and ps3. If there intentions were to make the game more realistic then they should have made more then 3 clothing stores on the WHOLE  of NYC(Liberty City).

::::{{Rebut}}Clothing is only a feature, and not to be fully explored.  Maybe in a future GTA game, this will be possible, but Rockstar fit everything they could into the game, and combining clothing from Modo, Russian Store, and Perseus can be great customization.

:::::{{Gripe}}That's not enough. In San Andreas, they have about six clothing shops, and it had hundreds of clothing accessories to choose from, thus increasing sex appeal. But in GTA IV, there are only three, and all other clothes look exaactly a like, no matter how new they are. Plus, it will be hard to date with your girlfriends and they will find out that your clothes are the same and that they demad that you change it. If R* would've bought all other stores from San Andreas, then it would total up to 9 clothing shops in a row, rather than stray away realism.

{{Gripe}}Given that a generic interior could be created, there's too few stores and the like to wander into compared to [[GTA San Andreas|San Andreas]] ([[Cluckin' Bell]] outlets as just a facade with no way in).

:{{Rebut}}But do you remember those loading times when you enter almost every interior buildings? GTA IV has non except for when you are on a mission where there would be a cutscene after you enter it.

::{{Gripe}}Once again, this lacks realistic attempts to this game. In real life, you would have huge range of restaurants, clothing shops, comedy shows, bowling alleys, arcades, etc. The game, however, has few and makes no sense why.

{{Gripe}}In a game where money is useless you would think you could use some of that 1,000,000 dollars you make to upgrade the crappy apartments, buy a garage in the alley, add internet, add a big screen tv, pay rent, etc.

:::{{Gripe}}But what's the use of ATM machines? You can just simply check out balance and not take out money by making fast cash or even destroying it. It does nothing. No offense, but the ATM machines are a pointless feature to the GTA series.

::::{{Rebut}}You can get more money from people using it. That is there purpose. They are not useless.

:::::{{Gripe}}I don't think he said anything about killing people while they are using ATM machines are useless. He's talking about ATM machines when the player uses it. All it reads is "Current Balance: $$$$$". The ATM machines are, in fact, useless and unrealistic.

{{Gripe}}Pedestrians never get out of their cabs once reaching their destinations, or even get in the cab and give the cab driver a destination, much like in [[GTA: VCS]].
