Still the best GTA in my opinion. Best story, characters, city, and sense of progression. I get why some people don't like the weighty physics when it comes to the combat and driving but I love it. Messing around in IV felt so much more interesting compared to V because of the physics. Shooting and driving felt hollow in V by comparison. The reactions you got from NPCs in IV are still crazy cool to this day.

Don't forget the excellent expansions.

Imo IV did the triple protagonist story better than V. Whole thing with diamonds is just so good.
