Story:Grand Theft Auto IV is an action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the eleventh title in the Grand Theft Auto series, and the first main entry since 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on-foot or by vehicle. Throughout the single-player mode, players play as Niko Bellic. An online multiplayer mode is included with the game, allowing up to 32 players to engage in both co-operative and competitive gameplay in a recreation of the single-player setting. Two expansion packs were later released for the game, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, which both feature new plots that are interconnected with the main Grand Theft Auto IV storyline, and follow new protagonists.Show more

if they put this on gog.... that would be wild the current steam version is super broken with a 32 bit exe, glitchy graphics and lighting, memory leaks that lead to crazy stutter and removed content. take2 would not be losing much putting this on here since the official multiplayer is gone and the game is usually on sale for 5 usd on steam. (Would be better than the moneky paw solution of a remake.

good game , but bad pc port, if they put this game on gog, they should optimize the game heavily and bring old school multiplayer and add removed graphical features and contents from console port and remove RGSC DRM, and fixing bugs

GTA IV is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of the Grand Theft Auto series and perhaps the best and most innovative game of the seventh generation. GTA V was bigger, but felt like less of a leap forward from it's predecessor and did a lot of things worse (physics and melee combat for instance). It's surprising that GTA IV hasn't been re-released due to it being the highest selling game at the time of its release, it's since been surpassed, but it was a huge success critically and commercially in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Some features of GTA IV have been lost to time. When the Lost and Damned expansion pack first released as DLC it did an interesting thing with the in game radio stations, the new radio content from the DLC and the base game merged together so when you played Lost and Damned you'd still be able to hear all of the music and radio shows from the base game. This feature doesn't exist in the later Ballad of Gay Tony or the Episodes From Liberty City release of GTA IV which included both expansions. In the EFLC releases, the expansion packs contain the music and radio content from each other but not the base game. If this game comes to GOG, I would love to have an option to play Lost and Damned as it originally operated as a DLC integrating with the main game, not the way it does in EFLC. GTA IV is an essential title and a game I have a lot of nostalgia for. I lived in New York City in 2008, so a lot of the locations and the cultural references really connect with me. The hipster jokes really take me back. I've seen most of the bands on the NYHC station, and even met members of several of the bands. I've been to Brighton Beach, the Coney Island Projects, the Statue of Liberty, Asbury Park, the Brooklyn Height Promenade, the elevated Subway station in Forest Hills, Dumbo, Prospect Park and numerous other locations in New York City and Jersey that are recreated in the game. I'd love to play it again, it's a great cultural artifact of the time and place.
I just want to go bowling with Roman, ride the train, be stuck in traffic listening to Integrity 2.0, pretend to be a taxi driver, buy expensive clothes for a woman that judges me, do wheelies in the highway and of course, crash my car because I was too busy reading the subtitles for whatever Little Jacob is saying. It is a gritty but also a bug ridden mess on PC, but it is still GTA 4 with the Rockstar flair and writing. Maybe, just maybe, the ending won't make me sad and empty, like it did before.

A time capsule of its era, with the most grounded (and best, imo) story in Grand Theft Auto, an incredible atmosphere, and a world with an enormous amount of character and life. GTA IV's Liberty City is the one game world I never get tired of exploring and interacting with, realized near flawlessly in an ambitious maiden voyage for RAGE, balancing an immersive world with console limitations. From the buildings, to the people, to the radio, everything comes together to create a fantastic satirical simulacra of the late 2000s, seen through the lens of our immigrant straight-man pulled into a criminal underworld populated by some of the most memorable GTA characters outside of San Andreas. The PC port as it currently exists is in dire need of fixing, which the modding community has worked tirelessly over the years to do (shout-outs to the folk behind FusionFix and GTAConnected). But there are some things that I think a GOG touch could rectify that the community hasn't been able to; most significant being somehow upgrading the game to be 64-bit, which is the ultimate pipe dream for unlocking the game's potential on PC. Memory management is pretty poor without mods, and even with fixes, it can struggle with stability if you mod the game just a hair too close to its limits. I dream for this masterpiece of both sandbox and crime games to be given the proper GOG treatment and allowed to flourish uninhibited.
GTA IV is probably the best game in the GTA series. It has been treated very unfairly for the story that’s much darker than your usual GTA story, but that’s exactly what makes it so special and deep. The PC port was, unfortunately, a complete disaster, partially thanks to the Games for Windows DRM, but it has gradually improved over time. With a few patches (and the removal of the Rockstar Launcher DRM, ugh) it could possibly be fixed.
It’s time. Bring this gem to…………. GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG GOG
In terms of game engine, this is the best of all GTA games. The best user experience of driving and shooting. I love it so much! Please, give me a chance to remember my youth.
It was unplayable then and it still is now, and GTA IV on the PC absolutely deserves better. A lot of love and consideration were put into the atmosphere and characters. Niko Bellic is still my favorite GTA protagonist, with his surprising depth and grounded disposition. Lousy optimization aside, the second largest criticism I have with GTA IV is the tank controls, but something tells me a smooth port would negate most of that irksome issue.
