imo Niko Bellic's story is top tier, way more immersive than any other GTA game. GTA V was cool with 3 protags but nothing beats the gritty realism of IV. The depth of the characters, the struggle, it hit different. anyone else feel me on this?

Good call on the no advertising rule. It's about time we focus on the gameplay. Like the time I was in a five-star police chase, tire spikes everywhere, dodging choppers... Managed to escape by jumping onto a train. Crazy, but that's GTA for ya.
