I never really had the time to play GTA SA much. When I did play it was at my friends house after IV was released. And it looked like IV lost a lot of features from SA. It would be cool if someone could list all the features SA had that IV didn't. I tried googling this but no one said the whole list I tried to search for a topic like this but couldn't find any. I am still finding about more and more features that SA has.

List them all please I don't care if they are pointless or not.

GTA IV had parachutes (Ballad of Gay Tony).

Although I love San Andreas, I see no reason to complain about IV.

IV also had great features, such as taking cover, friend activities, chasing most wanted persons, shooting birds, choices to let some character live or die etc.

I like IV I'm not complaining I just want to know all the features that were in San Andreas since I didn't get to play it that much.

Oh yes...

Glad to see you're not one of those haters...

A crappy, uniteresting story. That's certainly something from SA not present in GTA IV.

I wasn't being serious. Hence the smilie, but I do think SA's story is crap.

I think San An has a better storyline than any other GTA, maybe except for III coz I like starting off little and ending up on top of the city.

Just a matter of opinion.

[Miamivicecity]

Maybe "crappy" was a bit harsh, but never really been a fan of the story. Way too mix and match for my liking.

Oh you...


Anyway on with the list!

Gambling. And the ability to have a negative amount of cash, at which point the casinos would send loan sharks out to "talk to you about your debt." In other words - hunt you down and kill you.

Fun Cheats. If I remember correctly IV just had basic cheats like vehicles, health, weapons, wanted level. But none of the crazy ones from SA like super punches, the various theme cheats, riot mode, and all that good stuff.

Stadium Events

Driving, boating, flying, and motorcycle schools

Paramedic, firefighter, freight, trucking, pimping, quarry, and courier side missions. And endless vigilante and taxi missions. In IV you only had a limited amount available before you were prevented from doing them anymore.

Functioning Airports. You could purchase flights to fly between each city.

Cars that blew up when you shot their gas caps. Unrealistic, but still a feature.

Cranes you could operate.

Trains you could operate.

Ability to respond to ped's comments.



Alright that's all I can think of for now.

Oh and you miss that classic GTA feature.

Cars explode when upside down...

You have completely misunderstood the game.

Thx for the big list. I have a question though in IV can't you keep doing Vigilante by pressing "Current Crimes"?

And I'm going to organize this list soon since the list is bigger than I thought it would be. Makes me frown at all the potential that was tossed aside. I really hope most of these come back in GTA V.

So what's your point? Even though I don't really like the story in SA that post was just a lighthearted dig. Opinions are a powerful thing .

Anyway yeah in GTA IV you can keep doing Vigilante missions by pressing "current crimes".

^ Thx Again. Anyways I'm wondering about possible Easter Eggs in San Andreas.

[GTAction99]

For vehicles, you forgot to add the Go - Kart and Vortex.
