Nah the "decisions" in GTA IV dont really affect the gameplay at all. And, you always KNOW what will happen if you decide either for the first option or the second. Pretty useless imo.
There are so many games in which you have to make decisions that affect gameplay, but the only one that is really good in that is The Witcher - because you really think a bit before you decide, because every decision affects gameplay for real and changes the storyline - and the best is, you dont "know" what will happen if you decide for the options sometimes, that makes the game very re-playable, simply because you want to know how the storyline is if you make other decisions.
In GTA IV all the characters you can choose/decide to kill, are basically useless for the story, the surviving one is just calling you here and then for bowling or shit. Doesnt make GTA IV worth a re-play.
The storyline of IV is really awesome imo, but i wouldnt re-play singleplayer anytime soon. I think i spent around 40 hours in GTA IV SP and im done with it for a few months now, that sucks.
If i remember GTA SA, i think i spent around 150 hours in singleplayer before i even completed the storyline first. And even after i played so many hours, re-played it so many times, got mods, played it all over again, then SAMP... uh.
