游戏在上市前获得广大的期待的原因之一便是主角首次由美国人改成了东欧人,正因如此,尼克·贝里奇抵达美国后,相较于过往的多名主角对美国文化做出了更多、更毫不留情的批判。《侠盗猎车手IV》的深层寄意围绕着尼克构建的自我哲学,他很清楚,对美国文化直率了当的批判和美式的日常生活均能促使深层意义更容易被发掘和理解。尼克在大多数情况下的立场都是正确的,但他也被证明太过于愤世嫉俗,玩家和评论们如是解读。游戏本身和期错综复杂的剧情揭露了以下几个主旨:

游戏的包装上有一句话:“今日的美国梦意味着什么?”。尼克质疑美国,认为“资本主义是肮脏的生意”,只向极其贪婪或出身富贵的人提供机会。哈伊尔·福斯坦在临死前同样发出了"America made him (指Dimitri Rascalov) greedy! ...This American greed takes everyone! It is like a disease!"的感慨。尼克对美国的刻板印象则是“遍布的strip malls和clinical obesity”(as do the makers of the game by hilariously parodying concepts like post-9/11 hysteria and celebrity obsession)。另一方面,罗曼·贝里奇布鲁斯·基布兹以及博尼·克雷恩等人则呈现出截然不同的态度,他们因为自身财务状况的殷实而对美式的日常生活抱乐观态度,并试图劝导尼克变得更为乐观。

美国梦从来不对任何人做出担保,即便这些群体已经在美国定居。社会的各界人士,从花花公子X伊丽莎贝塔·托瑞斯

☀all have trouble making and responsibly saving money, not restricting it to any one nationality. Early on,The Beat 102.7 explains that their listeners "don't know how to manage their money yet!". Gerry describes his family's spending habits as "Never any fucking focus! Never! ...Oh yeah, wine and women as quick as possible, and remain a slave forever". Packie eventually says after a mission "Well, Niko, that was a whole lot of effort for no fucking reward. Story of my life." to which Niko replies "It is the story of a lot of lives, Packie. I'm getting used to hearing it". A very interesting part of the in-game media is a show called I'm Rich, which documents the most outrageous displays of gluttony by the world's wealthiest people, enough to make anyone feel inadequate.

Grand Theft Auto IV has an extremely complex plot with a very long list of characters. It is also the first game that allows the player to change the plot by making choices, which all have consequences. This creates an atmosphere where Niko is haunted and shadowed by his past actions wherever he goes. He tells Roman "There is no such thing as a new beginning, Roman. With every day we live, we pick up new baggage, baggage we must carry with us for the rest of our lives. There's no dropping it and pretending we are fresh and clean, just because we get off a boat in a new place." Prime examples include his numerous run-ins with Ray Bulgarin, most of the random characters, and working alongside Johnny Klebitz or Patrick McReary while he had, either by not having met them yet or circumstances beyond his control, killed someone close to them. In the finale, Niko feels the coffin of Kate or Roman, depending on the player's choice, on his conscience because of his criminal lifestyle, saying they "never should have gotten close to me". He is deeply depressed about being trapped in the criminal lifestyle (by a need of income), telling Kate McReary and others that he wishes he could leave it behind, but often adds that he knows he can't.
