《侠盗猎车手4》是Rockstar最佳之作：不可预测
Grand Theft Auto 4 Was Rockstar at Its Best: Unpredictable
《侠盗猎车手4》打破GTA系列自3D化后的固定公式，以不可预测性成为Rockstar最佳之作。该作2008年发售，系列此前惯用模糊同情角色遭难后投身犯罪的相似框架。这一偏离正是该作至今仍被视作优秀游戏的一大原因。
By the time Grand Theft Auto 4 launched in 2008, Rockstar had carved itself an unassailable niche and a reputation for innovation. And yet for all that praise, it was pretty easy to guess what a new GTA game would be like. The formula changed little from the time the series went 3D. Some vaguely sympathetic character would encounter hardship and then embrace a life of crime as a little treat. That life might look different from game to game, but the general idea remained the same. GTA 4 defied that pattern, and it's one of the reasons it's still an excellent game.
