GTA IV: It's Magically Delicious

As in, no matter how far you move the analog stick, he won't jog unless you press A...
I haven't played them in awhile, but i could have sworn last-gen GTAs had analog-sensitive walk/jog on the analog stick itself...

That's one of the first things I noticed last night when I play it at my friend's house again. It's pretty annoying because I vividly remember in past GTAs walking speed correlating directly to the degree and force to which one moved the analog stick. So... yeah, that could be considered a flaw.

Here's the deal with driving. If you obey speed limits and drive as one would in the real world, the cars are fine. I tested that last night. But we all know no one drives like that in GTA because it would be boring. Everyone drives at least ~50 miles everywhere and at those speeds in city streets, it's going to feel like a boat or hovercraft.
