First of all, this PC port of GTA IV is trash. First Generation RAGE engine is fundamentally broken on modern PCs and requires a lot of troubleshooting and mods to get it to be playable. The modding community recently solved this game. Follow Gillian's Modding Guide for GTA IV to save your sanity. FusionFix and DVXK vulkan mod fixes most issues for most people.

EDIT: Another tip; GTA IV breaks at high FPS. Lock your FPS to 60 and you can use Lossless Scaling to play the game at a stable and smooth 144fps or more.

GTA IV as a game is considered one of the best games of all time for a reason. For the time it was a mind blowing leap in graphics and in physics, and it still holds up in 2026. It's insane that it ran on 512mb of GDDR3 on an Xbox 360 and the fact that it was only in development for 4 years. There is an incredible amount of detail in this game that rivals RDR2. As an example, you can steal an ice cream truck and it has different songs you can play like a police siren. The story and characters are the best rockstar story along with Red Dead Redemption.

I don't care what anybody says, the driving in GTA IV is the best to me. Every car has different handling and weight to them, going fast and making a sharp turn can make you lose control of your vehicle, it's very realistic and satisfying. Pulling off a drift in this game is the best feeling. Also the car damage/deformation system is MUCH MUCH better than V. Cars actually bend out of shape and take damage if hit really hard, they blow up easier, and it's harder to drive a broken car because it reduces your speed and your ability to turn. It feels like Rockstar tuned back the physics and the car damage physics to streamline GTA online. GTA 4 is just a really fun game in general because of these systems.

There are so many interiors in the game that you can just explore. You can go to an internet cafe, go bowling, go play pool, go eat some food to restore your health at a restaurant. it makes the city feel more alive unlike GTA V with 0 overworld interiors, 0 food vendors. You can literally go into the hospital. A lot of props are destructible as well. It doesn't feel like there is any wasted space in the city. I also swear that the pedestrians behaviors in GTA 4 are much smarter over 5, each type of ped has their own personality, every single pedestrian and cars don't run and vanish and turn into a ghost town when you shoot somebody so you can go to another street and jack a car to get away. Female peds actually fight back too.

The physics in the game are over the top but crazy fun to play around with. Euphoria's implementation in this game is still top tier and never makes the game boring, and I wish more games used NaturalMotion's Euphoria. Peds don't have a default dying animation so every single gunfight is different. In fact, most peds will survive getting shot and try to get up and limp away to safety. A lot of this is just simply missing from V.

GTA 4 is the best singleplayer Grand Theft Auto. I hope that GTA 6 brings back some of the charm that made GTA 4 so great.

This Game is Skyrim With Guns. What's not to love? Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games, This is why

1: Nice to Bad computers: I have a 1gb low end pc. But Fallout 3 plays with little lag, A average 29-30 fps.
2: Karma: I love how you can choose to be a Good guy or Bad guy.

Overall rating 9/10 Very good
Recommended? Yes, But not to gaming pc's, Fallout doesn't have a good time keeping the game stable on Very expensive quad core Windows 7's. lel
Perfect Christmas Gift? Umm.. If they dont have a super pc, Then yes, Fallout will make a great gift.
