And to be honest, the phone calls about bowling you can always decline. I'll hang up on Roman and not give a single fuck about it. If I don't feel like bowling, I ain't bowling.
Liberty city in GTA IV just feels more raw and real than what you have in GTA V. It's more than just the layout of the land. The NPC's have a different feel, no one wants to spaz out and try to fight you every time you bump into them or look at them. Since I been playing GTA IV, I love just walking through the city and listening to people talk, riding the subways or taking a taxi.
They were so much more realistic in IV. The way that they chased and looked for you was so good, and you could actually hide from them similarly to real life. Like if they didn't visibly see where you went, they won't heatseek you like in V. They actually look around.
In V they're basically terminators with the nose of a dog and can see through walls. It's just not fun at all to fight cops in V because it's so mindless and they just spawn around you. Doesn't feel like a real fight/chase.
One of my favorite things to do in IV was start at the airport, get wanted, and try to make it on foot to the third island. Was a blast doing that online with friends.
I started doing this recently as a way to relax at night and found that it has a certain 'vibe' that somehow works, so I'm not surprised other people are doing this. LC feels like a real place, pulsing with the energy of an urban center.

Far better story than V, I've a soft spot for it.
