I can't think of anything. Everytime I try to think of something I miss from past GTAs, I'm instantly reminded of the truly horrible gunplay and shallow driving, and that overshadows everything else.

So when I consider how much better GTAIV is at those two very important aspects of the series, I don't miss any past GTA at all. I could never see myself going back to them. The core gameplay has been improved astronomically.

The lack of stuff to spend money on and some scripted chase missions are GTAIV's only two major flaws, and they're also not enough to keep it from a 10.

Well, I just finally beat it tonight actually. And while I got slightly disenchanted half way through, after laying off of it for a couple of days, I fell in love with it all over again after I came back and finished it. This game is truly a perfect example of the saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts."

However, the main thing that I missed was the ability to buy property. The things that disenchanted me towards the middle of the game was the annoying calls from your needy friends, and the soundtrack, which I felt was much weaker than previous installments. However, in retrospect, all of that is trivial when measured against the entire production.

As this game, when measured for what it is as a whole, is indeed a masterpiece. In order for me realize this fully, it took me playing half of it, and then laying off a few days so that I did not get completely burned out. After which, I picked it back up fresh, and completed it over the course a few days. At which time, I was able to fully appreciate what a beautiful monster this game really is. Patience with this one will reward you.

More rpg elements, a little more varied missions, and a better soundtrack.

More variety in weapons, I suppose. Everything feels simplistic in IV.

I miss: Planes, wider selection of clothes, wider selection of weapons, almost endless amount of side missions, countryside/desert, ability to buy property and run a business through it, gang wars, getting gang members to follow you, tanks, the army, the jetpack, remote control vechile missions, rampages, local multiplayer, more story missions, better radio stations, car modifications. I could go on for hours. To be completely honest I would have been happier if they had just re-realeased SA with better graphics and the cover system.

Simply, I miss the planes, the tanks, the jet packs and the flying/floating cars cheats, these were the only reasons I liked the other games and the lack of them the main reason i really don't like the new gta.

What I miss is from Saint's Row, not the other GTAs, and that is the character and car customization. Even a little would be awesome, because I love getting a high wanted level and running from the cops, and having a customized car would just add that little extra flair. Other than that, I am digging GTA IV on almost every level.

So far I have missed :

  • the infuriatingly frustrating missions which made me turn to cheats more than once in SA.
  • the almost exclusively unlikeable main cast.
  • the absurdity of some of the missions certain characters had a 'boy from the hood' doing.
  • the awful targeting system.
  • learning to fly...

There are moar but I'm too busy reminicing now to think about them...

The only thing I miss is being able to buy property. I think everything else is superior to past games. With San Andreas I felt like they just tried to do way too much and it took away from the game.
