the only game in the series to even try and look realistic was 4; and then it was pushing Crime as something that is bad (the story anyways, gameplay is still the same)

Recently, the fourth game has turned from it's glamorization of Crime life to a more realistic and dark portrayal, with the story less about climbing a ladder of crimes to the top and more about the character simply trying to solve the problems his cousin has caused and then facing the problems that come from trying to leave the world of Crime.
