*''There is a huge bias in this article, making IV's realism seems like a negative thing'' - Well in that case, I've done an amazing job of [http://www.actdu.org.au/archives/actein_site/basicskills.html#adebate arguing for the opposite of what I believe]. Realism was ''always'' what I loved about GTA, which is why GTA IV is my favourite game in the series (and I actually particularly ''disliked'' GTA San Andreas).

'''EDIT:''' And I should probably mention that it's not a lack of realism why I didn't like GTA San Andreas, it was a number of reasons relating to it not being what I had come to expect from GTA games.


*''I can write an entire essay claiming that SA is much more realistic than IV'' - Okay then, but maybe it's more about what those things are used for. For example, military personnel being called out to stop a single criminal. Perhaps your argument that ''believability'' is a better description fits here nicely. Also, I specifically mentioned that it's a balance between realism and gameplay, with realistic features from GTA San Andreas not reappearing in GTA IV, so I never claimed that GTA San Andreas is ''not'' realistic.
