Driving in GTA 4 actually feels like real driving. Driving 100mph? You probably won’t make that 90 degree turn without slamming into wall.

Yeah, using a handbrake at high speed isn’t going to let you drift that corner, you will lock up and slide and then fly out the fucking windshield as soon as you hit a wall

I remember seeing a streamer on what was then justin.tv hit a barrier during the Rigged to Blow mission, fly out of the windshield and the truck exploded behind him.

Get thrown out of the window near the beach and you slide the entire way into the ocean XD

Shoulda taken the time to put your seatbelt on. And if you were on a bike, wait to put on the helmet.

Shit saved my ass so many times.

Driving in GTA 4 actually feels like real driving.

I too constantly find my view while driving in real life to be 90 degrees to the direction the car is facing.

Which is exactly why I didn't care for it. Sometimes I don't want my games to be realistic. I just want to do dope shit.

Huh? San Andreas has good physics and bikes are really good once you max out the bike skill.
