Why are GTA 4 fans incapable of praising IV without putting down 5?

After replaying GTA IV on PS3 and finishing the story, I booted up Assetto Corsa Evo on my modern pc with ultrawide monitors and sat down on my expensive sim-racing setup. I was astonished at how much of a downgrade modern "realistic" "simulator" racing compares to the genius of GTA IV's driving physics.

GTA IV understood something that modern racing "sims" forgot: the car should feel really heavy (they weigh tons in some instances) and should understeer like crazy (because that's what happens irl). The fact that real racecar drivers use these inferior racing "sims" with GT3 cars to practice in the off-season rather than GTA IV + the Sultan RS you find behind that one mansion leaves me at a loss for words.

It's not even debatable at this point.

I swear to fuck mention 3 leaf clover you mother fucker

Thank you crowbat for spreading the truth. GTA 4 is better than GTA 5

Not that I've anything against these takes, but when you see the same thing 24/7 , it gets cumbersome. Valid opinions start to feel like low effort karma farms at best, because they become stale.

Except TAKE TWO (pun-intended), it's Bullshit. Both games deal with quite mature themes, it's just that IV is more serious in tone.
