- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I have liked all the GTA's except 4. I'm sure I'll get this one too. I hope that the single player campaign brings back some of the niceties from San Andreas. I want to have a garage of cars, rare ones that I've found and customized, and I want to be able to wreck them and be able to get them back from garage (without having to buy them again). Same with planes/boats/etc.
I.E when I play through the game I should be able to permanently unlock things, not have to repurchase them with basically micro-transactions, even if the money is easy to get.
The physics in 4 were the best in the series IMO. The car handling was perfect, and not MidnightClub-style arcadey (point and vroom).
Plowing through pedestrians at the park had real replay value in GTA IV, with very interesting reactions each time. In GTA V this became somewhat canned in terms of animation diversity.
GTA IV felt grimey and real to me. I loved it. Just wish they had planes and parachutes (albeit Ballad of Gay Tony brought the latter in)
