Why Liberty City Feels so Lonely

Liberty City is full of people, traffic, noise, and life. So why does GTA IV make it feel so lonely? When I first played GTA IV, I was mostly interested in driving around, stealing cars, and causing trouble. But coming back to the game, I started noticing something different about Liberty City. This video is about what makes Liberty City feel so lonely, how its different districts shape that feeling, and why Niko Bellic can be surrounded by people without ever really feeling at home. Sometimes, a city doesn't need to be empty to make you feel alone.
