Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition (2010)
Story:Grand Theft Auto IV is an open world action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It was released on 29 April 2008 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, and on 2 December 2008 on Microsoft Windows. It is the eleventh title in the Grand Theft Auto series, and the first main entry since 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Set within the fictional Liberty City (based on New York City), the single-player story follows a war veteran, Niko Bellic and his attempts to escape his past while under pressure from loan sharks and mob bosses. The open world design lets players freely roam Liberty City, consisting of three main islands.
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.[c] 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.
Development began in 2004, soon after the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. As part of their research for the open world, the developers conducted field research around New York throughout development and captured footage for the design team. Development duties were shared between many of Rockstar's studios worldwide. Following its announcement in May 2006, Grand Theft Auto IV was widely anticipated.[4] Upon release, the game received universal critical acclaim, with praise particularly directed at the game's narrative and open world design. However, the game also generated controversy, with criticism directed at the game's depiction of violence and ability to drive under the influence of alcohol. Grand Theft Auto IV broke industry sales records and became the fastest-selling entertainment product in history at the time, earning US $310 million in its first day and US $500 million in its first week. Considered one of the most significant titles of the seventh generation of video games, and by many critics as one of the greatest video games of all time, it won year-end accolades, including Game of the Year awards from several gaming publications. Its successor, Grand Theft Auto V, was released in September 2013.Show more

This game is still unplayable on Steam without fan patches. It also f@ked up on low-gen specs because RAGE is poorly optimized. And even worst is that they added Sam Houser Rockstar Game Launcher DRM, which is just bad! Sheesh, Sam!
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition is one of Rockstar’s most ambitious and emotionally grounded games. Released in 2008, it brought players into the gritty, realistic streets of Liberty City through the eyes of Niko Bellic, an immigrant haunted by his past and searching for a fresh start. The game’s powerful narrative, cinematic direction, and social commentary marked a bold shift for the GTA franchise.
The Complete Edition, which includes both acclaimed expansions—The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony—offers three deeply connected stories in one unforgettable package.
Unfortunately, GTA IV has suffered from licensing removals, DRM issues, and launcher-related hurdles. The original Games for Windows Live version caused endless headaches for PC players, and while later updates improved access, the game still isn't available DRM-free.
That’s where GOG.com comes in.
GOG is the best platform for preserving classic, story-rich titles like GTA IV. A DRM-free version, with full controller support, restored soundtrack, and modern compatibility fixes, would let players experience Liberty City without restrictions or launchers. It would also future-proof a game that deserves to be remembered alongside Vice City and San Andreas.
Let’s give Niko—and GTA IV—the comeback it deserves.
Bring GTA IV: The Complete Edition to GOG.
Le meilleur de la série des GTA.
Plus sérieux, plus dramatiques, certes plus limiter en thermes de possibilité que San Andreas ou GTA V, mais sont attention des détails, sont histoires plus sombres et son côter "réaliste" fond que c'est mon GTA préféré
Spent a so many hours driving around the city and meeting up with Roman and Bruce and just finding the fastest cars. It is probably my favourite Gta game of all time
First GTA game in series I absolutely HATED at launch. Bugged AF, half the level not loading. But once everything was patched... This was the only GTA game to the date that topped Vice City.
Horlicks unregistered defender. Dhirendra dekhiba ud
Chandrashekhar feedbacks. Feedbacks disturbed decoder. Woohoo forwarded i am imarn i wantnplay gta all ages
Just on the level of an immersive, tactile world where your actions have consequences and every NPC and environment feels alive, it is unbeaten. I much prefer this to GTA V.
Probably the first time a game kept my focus on a story without breaking immersion even once. Worth everyones time. Also with its awful pc port it would be nice to have a place where you can download and mod this game to insure the best possible look and performance possible.
