They should have paid closer attention to the chronology

Ok so I know you're not supposed to think about it or take it that seriously and I'm probably gonna catch a bunch of crap for pointing this out but I think that rockstar when making these downloadable content games, especially ones with intertwining stories should have paid more attention to the accuracy in which they intertwine. Like the diamond deal mission at the libertonian. Has anyone else noticed that in tlad you're sent to the deal right after kidnapping Roman for the russians, but in IV you've already rescued Roman from the russians before you've even met Ray? Doesn't make any sense.

Not necessarily. There's a little latitude in the order you do missions in any installment of GTA IV.

To your point, yes they could have watched it a little closer, but that could also contradict the "free roam" idea & that's R*'s biggest strength.

In GTA III there was at least one mission that would prematurely end another strand.
