As I mentioned elsewhere, I have been putting in a lot of hours in GTA V Online, trying to get as much done as far as missions go as well as achievements before my 1 month Gold membership expires. Recently, I have been deabating whether or not to return to GTA IV to play as I haven't touched that game in a couple of years if not longer. But the more I think about playing it, the less I want to leave the world of Los Santos in GTA V. Even though I liked GTA IV back in the day, Liberty City itself left me feeling cold. The fictional city is based on New York and all that it implese. Yes, there's even a Statue of Liberty.

I think the reason why I will always choose Los Santos over Liberty City is based on a real-world bias of mine. I'm a West Coast kid. As fascinating as it was to play on the East Coast, it just can't hold a candle to life on the West Coast, be it in video games or real life.
