And I hope they keep it modern with 5. I liked having the technological advances in 4 like the cell phone, and the ability to call that number that tells you what song is playing. I didn't like your friends calling you up every 10 minutes to go hang out though, that got annoying. Other than the main storyline missions, I hope they put side things in there to make the game more interesting. Maybe customize your character a bit more, maybe go gambling, or do other fun activities. It felt useless having all that money in 4 with nothing to do with it.

GTA IV was a lot more polished than San Andreas... and easier. I feel it was built for a broader audience, not maniacs like me (us) who were willing to spend like 10 real hours just to finish the goddamn Chilead Challenge.

But I still love all the side stuff even if some of it can drive you nuts. That's part of the GTA experience, wouldn't be the same if you didn't launch your controller across the room a couple times.

I can't remember any truly painful missions in GTA IV but I can still vividly remember a few from previous games:

Vice City
- Firetruck Level 12

San Andreas
- Chilead Challenge
- Ammunation Challenge
- Vigilante Level 12 - The whole world used the tank for this but not me, I did it on a motorcycle. Hardest thing I ever accomplished in a video game.

Anyways I hope they don't change too much for GTA V, if it ain't broke...
