Spoiler for gay tony: https://youtu.be/DlQChG8F6n0?t=19m45s
GTA 5 was planned from the start x3
Also GRAND THEFT AUTO: IV is the best GTA in the series if you're thinking about buying it, but multiplayer sadly doesn't work anymore I don't think.

I sort of understand and sort of don't understand why people didn't enjoy GTA IV so much. I think it's a solid game that was highly ambitious and is fun to mess around in. The map is probably the best the GTA games have ever had, San Andreas was only fun to mess around in for an hour or so and you realize it's all just open boring field. GTA V has the same issue, IV's city means there's tons of amazing spots to have firefights and screw around with ragdoll physics. I think it's aged well, the story is top-tier.

Thanks Windows Live, now I can't play. After spending an hour making Windows Live happy, I tried to log in again and got the infinite loading page. Thanks to Rockstar Games too. If an i7 Windows 8 ROG can't run this, but can easily run Sims 3 full of custom downloads, there's a problem.

{{Short version: There are hoops to jump through at first, but GTA IV is worth the money and the 10-15 minutes it takes to set the game up to play.}}

I write this review understanding that this isn't a brand new game, and as such, this review is for people who, like me, are buying this game waaaay after it's prime. Why am I writing this review? Because I nearly found myself dissuaded out of a perfectly good game by reviews that targeted easily bypassed issues.

Now, I'd like to begin this by saying that no matter what platform you play it on, GTA IV is still a good game, and a fun entry to the GTA series. A lot of the other reviews for this game note that there's difficulty getting this game to work on PC, and, I won't lie, it's true; there are some hoops to jump through to get this game working. These reviews, however, vastly overstate the difficulty of playing this game, and as such, advise against it's purchase, but don't heed these reviews, the process of getting this game to work takes 10 minutes, 15 tops. Combined with the time it takes to download in the first place, this is totally negligible.

Down to it:
There are two main barriers to pass before enjoying going bowling with your virtual cousin, Games for WIndows Live, and Social Club, both of which can be gotten around very easily. In the effort to not make this review a tutorial, I will simply say that there exist plenty of dedicated tutorials on the web, especially on support forums and the like.

At the end of the day, what you get is a great GTA game, with all of GTA's signature crazy storytelling. I've heard tell that there's a way to still access multiplayer too, and there are plenty of people who have done this. It's the same story here, you have to put a little work in, but then you have a perfectly good game.

There are two important things in this game - one is that Roman is your cousin and the second is that he wants to play bowling darts.
