ill have you know that both I AND my imaginary wife take offense to this post and it has been reported!
Was talking to some of my students about GTA the other day and was surprised to hear they preferred IV to V ... I tried to go back and play IV but forgot it was only on PS3 and that console is long gone for me. Count me in the group that will be getting VI the day it comes out, pretty crazy what they are doing with the graphics where sweat is actually dripping off players.
The controls of V are complete garbage. They were fine for their time but going back to them now is difficult.
If i recall, I found IV much the same though. We know graphics will be off the charts, but this is where i hope the real improvements will be made is in the controlling of the character. Swimming was still fairly archaic.
