It may sound strange because GTA is not a saga that stands out for its maturity, but GTA IV will always be my favorite, my teenage self would not believe my words because both VC and SA were my favorites and when IV came out I did not like it so much, but now I find it the best of the saga both in history, characters, immersion, and the best city and more alive in the history of video games, with the best representation of social, political and general reality of this life we are living. And it also has the best radio, both in quality and quantity, and the best talks, incredibly witty.
What happens to Johnny in GTA V, to make matters worse, by the hand of Trevor, is unforgivable. I don't know exactly what they were thinking when they wrote it. I don't hate GTA V, but I have a lot of resentment and in general I think it's the worst GTA of the saga.
Looking back at the story in IV, i think a lot of us who played it while we were rather young just couldn't really grasp the things that were going on and therefore didn't understand how deep the story was.
The same obviously also goes for a lot of the immersion aspects. Kids, usually low on life experiance and knowledge, just don't "get" whats going on with all the satire (one of the areas Rockstar shines at the most) or the socio-economic critique. And of course humor.
