For me, the seriousness was a good thing, not a negative. Same with the driving once i got used to it.
GTA's biggest problems for me were the aforementioned lack of side/fun content, and of course the phone ringing.
I really don't like scoring negative points because i don't date a girl when i'm in the middle of a gang war.
One thing I did love about GTA 4 was the actual storyline. Those "kill him or spare him" moments, for me, were built up so well that sometimes you hated the bastard so much that you wanted to kill him.
The actual stories and the writing were pretty good, I thought.
One thing, and I've been saying this for a while, that I want in a new GTA: Character creation. Let me make my own guy. Give me customisation options. Let me side with certain gangs over other ones. Let me pick and choose missions that I want to do.
Like, say you're working for the mob and the yakuza as an enforcer of sorts. they both give you missions at the same time, and those missions clash, so if you complete one, you fail the other, so you're scoring both negative AND positive points with people.
Kind of like that mechanic dragon age had, but better.
The only thing GTA: San Andreas and GTA 4 had for customisation was friggan buying clothes
yeah thats one they could take from Saints Row

that Negative and Postive points idea remind of GTA 2.

Basically, that's what I thought. The storyline was probably the best out of all the GTA's. The atmosphere is the best out of all open world games (maybe Red Dead Redemption beats it) and controls were pretty good as well.
It just needed more variety of missions and fun mini-games. Red Dead Redemption had excellent mini-games. Poker was the best (loved the idea that you could cheat and horseshoes was cool as well). GTA4 had bowling, darts and pool. They were kind of lame. I remember seeing a driving range, mini-putt course and a few other things and I was like, "Awesome, I'm going to check it out" but was totally disappointed when they had nothing there.
so, did anyone played the DLC?
I haven't finished either yet, but what I've seen, TBoGT has all the over-the-top gameplay sorely missed in the main game, Yussuf Amir is batshit crazy, so is Bulgarin... jumping off a building to escape using a chute is awesome, and at least there's a "tank" in the game
I want all of that from the get go in GTA V
Also: you can now play "golf" in TBoGT

San Andreas also had body size/type and hairstyle.
I remember I had a supped-up Sultan with max nitrous and off-road tyres, etc.

The sad part is GTAIV's DLC games were both better than the main storyline game in some aspects.

It's not like you're supposed to use it in main missions.
You customize the car and keep in your garage and use it for races, freeplay, and/or stunt achievements, unless you're dumb enough to save the game after you lost/wrecked the car.
It's fun for car enthusiasts like me.
If Rockstar is going to stick with one playable character, I hope he's Native American or Southeast Asian this time.
And maybe it's time to have a female protagonist for a change. It'll help get more girls into hardcore gaming.

It's still a stupid decision not allowing you to save the car to a garage so you can reuse it all the time without making you do workarounds to keep the car.
For instance, I use it to win a race, do a mission or whatever while after completing whatever your doing, you destroy the car by accident (because that always happens in GTA games) so you reload the game and have to redo the mission so you can keep your customized car?
That's dumb.

you couldn't save the pimped-out car in a garage?
I don't remember that
what I do remember is the garages eating up my cars, that's truly annoying... and it still happens in GTA IV
What I mean is that you couldn't save it in a garage where it's always available.
You could do the regular thing but once you lost the car or destroyed it, it's gone.
I thought it was stupid for the developers to allow to customize a car without the ability to always have that car. Similar to how Saints Row does it. You save it in a garage and it's always there, no matter how many times you take it out and destroy it. The only time it's not there is if you remove it from the garage.
