“As you well know, NYC does not have congestion pricing. Bloomberg failed to get the State’s approval. As for Liberty City, I’m not sure. I don’t think they have a Metrocard system, which just seems downright fiscally irresponsible.”

From Totilo in the comments section. His humor is pretty good, although he did report some inaccurate nitpicks. Such as the amusement park, which is in the right place, and the baseball field. It might not have been a GIANT stadium, but I found a baseball field in-game as I was driving around offroads in my sports car. Just like a real New Yorker!

I know it’s Liberty City, as does Totilo. But it’s based on New York City, so why not take a look at where they didn’t accurately represent the city. It’s not like anyone’s saying it’s a bad game because it didn’t copy NYC 100%.

Nitpicked this from their nitpicking article:

“And the big amusement park over in Brooklyn, one of our five boroughs, is on the southeast side, not the west.”

Now unless I’m mis-interpreting things, R* got this right.

Um Liberty City was never intended to be an exact replica of New York City. Anyone who bought GTA IV Special Edition and read the artwork booklet that came with it would know that the developers state that they used New York City as a reference, but they wanted to create a unique city all it’s own.

“We are not a car town…There are never any parking spots…”

…

So… who’s driving around and taking up the parking spots?
