I had so much fun launching cars into the stratosphere with this glitch in freeroam back in the day 
Here's another clip, car deformation physics go BRRR
The last Rockstar game I played before this was RDR2 and GTAIV makes an interesting contrast. "Guys, what if drugs? What if sex? What if gay? What if penis? What if woman had penis? What if domestic abuse? What if fat people?" EPIC SATIRE 2008 STYLE
also the war on terror I guess
I've played a lot of GTAV in the intervening years and GTAIV feels a lot more crass and mean than even that game. I just had a radio ad for mobility scooters, and you can probably guess what angle that took. Basically "abuse medicare to get a mobility scooter and force the American taxpayer to subsidise you being a disgusting fat slob" EPIC SATIRE
I'm 95% certain GTAVI's writing will be much better overall and that gamers will piss and moan that it's gone soft and woke
I've always just really liked the beginning of GTA IV where Niko hops off a boat and lives in shitty apartments with his cousin while working for the Russian mafia and low level drug dealers. It begins to lose me when government agents and generic Italian mobsters enter the picture
