User blog comment:Sasquatch101/Liberty City vs. Los Santos. Which is better?/@comment-2220784-20131212180305

After playing GTA V and then GTA IV afterwards, I found I like GTA IV a lot more than I do GTA V. I got both games within two weeks of each other, and played GTA V first for awhile.

I just find it that I oscillate more with Liberty City and I like the characters better in GTA IV. Map wise, I know GTA V is huger and more to it, but Los Santos honestly is boring to me. I might go back and play again, but I know that when I played GTA IV I got into it much more. The city life, and I'm from a small town though so there's no hometown bias. I just like Niko's story more, especially The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony characters too.

On a side note:

You know, I'd love a GTA set in Venice, Florence or Milan. Italy has great cities for GTA and crime is really rough around those areas. I like the more exotic cities like those rather than US cities. So if there is a GTA VI, please do not go back to US cities, Rockstar. Try Italy :p or at least Spain or Germany.
