Michael Hollick's impeccable performance makes it all the more infuriating that Rockstar stiffed him on the royalties.
Another reason to legitimately dislike rockstar and their shitty methods
He already got paid for GTA4 he just wanted more money after the fact
@@theinsp3ctor368 Yes. That's what royalties are.
@Pumpactionmusket as far as I'm aware he asked for royalties after the game had sold
Unfortunately Rockstar *_(or more likely, Take Two)_* stiffs *_EVERYONE_* when it comes to their Royalties. Young Maylay and Shawn Fonteno can attest to this.
I argue Niko is the best GTA character so far.
He's light, dark, snarky. Sure he's made idiot moves but in his own words "I'm an idiot, I move"
I personally think it’s Cj then Niko
@@Vince888 CJ to me Just feels like your run of the mill gangster character with no real depth.
@@MikeJAk49 all the gta main character are stereotypes
@@MikeJAk49says the one who’s never played it
Best GTA protagonist in (of course) best GTA game
I think the best part of GTA IV is that nearly every character has a story. Faustin and Dimitri, the McReary Family, Playboy and Dwayne, they all have stories, even the DLC expands upon characters like Brucie, Ray Bulgarin and The Lost MC, aside from the Grove Street Families, GTA San Andreas didn't have many expanded backgrounds for their characters.
Compare this to V too. Wade, Ron, Lamar, a lot of the background characters don't get a lot of love.
@@ultrabigfella I think San Andreas could show more interactions with Big Smoke and Tenpenny after the Green Sabre. It will be intresting to see how Tenpenny treats Big Smoke.
San Andreas was the Fast and Furious of the GTA series. It was never a story to be taken seriously, at least not like GTAIV and RDR1. GTAV’s sub story with Franklin and Lamar’s hood politics was much more realistic and down to earth despite the rest of the story being mediocre.
They did Bulgarin dirty though
San andreas had more variety in its story missions though. Gta 4 story missions got repetitive.
This was the first GTA I ever played and I loved it. I have many memories of playing it as a teenager
You should try GTA SA
I started off with THAT 😁
The true OGs started with Grand Theft Auto (1997)
@AL3X1KUS I was born in '98
So i missed out 😔
@@victorcharles27 I start with GTA III when I was 9 and actually I complited every GTA at least 5 times.
@@iciu125 Not too much older than you, same went over to a friends house played gta 3. My first Grand theft Auto experience at 11.
I recall the day GTA IV came out well, almost all my classmates in College who were gamers fell "sick" for about a week by some astounding coincidence beginning that day.
When I was in high school my class and a teacher came up with “Video Virus” as the name of the sickness I would always seem to have the day after certain major games came out.
Out of any GTA that I've played, out of all the openings and themes the one in GTA IV stuck with me the most, it just flows so well and when the theme reaches its peak I always get goosebumps
As much as I love GTA 5 I kinda hope 6 goes for a mix of 4/5 and combines the best elements of both games while giving us something new
It's a song I go back to often. And it's one of the first tracks I try when testing new headphones.
@@dylanburton4955
Yeah , I want more darker storyline but at the same time having fun gameplay rather than realistic one.
@@frog6054 Yeah, it would be the perfect balance
@@frog6054 no chance, its all family friendly now
- You killed my friends for one thousand dollars?..
- How much do you charge to kill someone?
After 15 years i'm still having goosebumps about this line, it is gut-wrenching cathartic and works on so many levels. Pure art, no doubt.
He couldn’t even answer to that
ironic considering the fact that at the start of the game, niko is required to kill people for similar amounts of money
@@pyroxonI think of the mission the FBI man sends you on, where at the end you can spare 1 man after murdering all of the people there, you're just another murderer
It's even worse if it was 1000 in Serbian Dinar, as it's worthlessness during the Yugoslavian Wars meant that Darko sold them out for about 10-15 American dollars
@@chrisahearn789thank god they said dollars which is not a synonym for money in general
Everything about this game was and is perfect. What a story. Not just a story, experience.
Absolutely
So true!💯
Except the performance... Even brand-new hardware couldn't run this at 1080p 60fps properly back in 2008.
Naw, the story is great but the gameplay is bit boring compared to GTA 5 and San Andreas. At least in my opinion.
@@skillaxxx
They update the game, it's called complete edition if you're interested to try it out again. Now it's ran great even on lower-mid range laptop/PC. Although some songs and radios got deleted.
I love GTA IV. Playing that game back in 2008 was incredible. We went from no ragdolll physics to some of the greatest ever put in an open world game. An incredible story and characters, perfect soundtrack and two quality expansion packs.
I used to aim at the ground with an RPG and blow myself up just see how my body would land cause the physics were so hilarious 😂😂
I have spent hours launching my car off of things to watch it flip and tumble. Same with just driving around, vehicles had a great sense of weight to them, even with a lot of practice, driving at high speed always felt like you were one tiny mistake away from disaster.
I remember around the time it was getting released, there was no official/leaked gameplay footage on youtube just rickroll'd videos. The first time I experienced any gameplay was when the game was in my hands. Haven't had such an experience like that since.
@@Allaboutdatps3 Well games have become a lot different since then. Post initial sale monetization has become a key focus along with graphics. Graphics have always been a big focus of games of course, but in the past they were far more limited by hardware, now the limit is mostly just time. Other then BeamNG Drive and Wreckfest, I haven't seen a physics and damage model as impressive as GTA IV either.
@@scottthewaterwarriorthey're limited by greed
Niko is one of my favorite GTA protagonists because of how real he is. He's not overthetop like everyone else around him. He needs money and sticks to family no matter what, he's loyal and compassionate. He's a good friend to have in a place like LC.
"There's a whole story here offering the players to reflect on the harm they've done, and depending on which ending you choose you will have to deal with the consequences of your actions and it's presented in such a way we don't feel like we're being sat down in kindergarten like TLOU 2 and even feel respected by Rockstar Throughout" Could not have said it any better myself.
This was my fav W of the video.
Another depressing but interesting detail about the Deal ending is that when Roman died, his face is not seen again, effectively making him another unknown indirect victim of Niko's crime!
One of the greatest games ever made. This game was what made me want to switch generations and finally leave my ps2 behind, I remember to this day how I was in awe with the physics when I first saw it! And it is crazier to think most of this game's aspects still hold up in 2023, 15 years later...
Yeah! I still prefer if over GTA 5
I remember watching the previews in gaming mags. I knew I would be getting this right away
The fact that every game gets a remake including og trilogy at the same time this game was turning 10 and still no remake is just a slap in the face to us real fans
Yea unbelievable that rockstar ignores this game and what fans are asking for. It’s like they on purpose ignore GTA 4 and Max Payne 3, two games out of three(RDR2) with the deepest stories they have created
It was going to. The backlash from the Trilogy resulted in rockstar changing their mind
@@donqon because they outsourced and fucked up their port
@@donqonwhich doesn’t even make sense they should’ve just taken control of making the remake
Because they know this games was made with heart
That opening theme. It was just perfect.
The thing I loved about this is how you had the optional mate dates you could go on and the characters opened up.
From Packie talking about his sexual abuse, to Dwayne’s struggles to adapt to life outside of prison.
These are extra pieces of story that you wouldn’t normally get.
Plus, you actually felt you’re making a change to their lives by taking them out for food or drinks or games.
Packie became my best friend in the game.
It’s so sad Rockstar didn’t carry that mechanic into their other games.
Out of curiosity - would you be more interested in Revenge ending if Kate was more prominent in main story? Lot of her dialogues and relationship with Niko come from optional dates, which many players probably didn't bother with (me included). It's probably safe to say that most players choose Revenge for promise of killing Dimitri rather than Kate nagging to Niko.
I chose revenge because it made sense for nikos story. Niko was metaphorically standing on a mountain of bodies to get to the guy and now that he has him, he chooses not to do it? It's alittle late in the game to make that decision. Where's his hesitation to kill before this? I'm not getting into is revenge morally justifiable or not. I'm just saying nikos actions, as us the player doesn't match up with him showing his enemy mercy. So I chose revenge
@@stephenolder4552 TLDR: Deal is superior in any regard to Revenge, from technical, through narrative, all the way to sense of completion after you finish game standpoint.
It did not make sense to go to Platypus. At this point Niko would've learned betrayal is common thing in crime world, and at end of a day it's money that counts. For most of the game he's talking about making money, for most people he's working for money, only 2 of them promise him help in finding traitor.
He's not making any effort to get revenge on Dimitri, he doesn't even think about him, as Darko is his priority target. He'd find a peace in facing a man that he blames for how his life turned ot to be. Facing Darko is it for him, he can finally put his struggles to sleep. He wouldn't turn down an opportunity to make really big money to end it all. He had to realize why Dimitri would do it, and be able to forget about it if it meant he'd be able to finally get his hands on big money for Roman and Mallorie to live happily ever after. At end of a day Dimitri didn't even cost him anything of value prior to moment where you choose ending.
It's quite clear originally Rockstar wanted you to choose deal ending, as it carries way more emotions than revenge. They only changed it to cannon ending once they realized that with power of foreshadowing and inability to sustain that much emotional impact people were choosing it way more often than deal. They couldn't ever expect you to care about Katie enough and avenging her to be same weight as loosing Roman and avenging him. Killing Dimitri under statue feels way more like ending of a story than killing Pegorino.
I'm almost positive that adding option to choose ending was made later in developement, and originaly they planned deal to be linear ending. They putted way more work in "If price is right" and afermath of that mission compared to "Dish served cold", mission is way longer, has more scripts, more dialogue, unused for anything else place (Platypus is used right at start, they didn't make it exclusively for a mission as they had to make that interior for opening cutscene) etc. In "Dish served cold" Dimitri basically has quite generic dialogue prior to dying for this game standard, and mission is pretty simple and generic don't giving you a sense that's the final.
After finishing deal game tricks you into thinking worst is behind you, presumably no one is mad at you and you got a happy ending, no loose ends, Niko says he's out of business, and then game hits that last blow you wouldn't expect. After finishing revenge game instantly let's you know there's one more loose end which is Pegorino and you can tell it's not over yet. While you could trick yourself into believing Niko and Dimitri would go their own way, Pegorino instantly tells you he's going to send his man after you.
@@southweststrangla9591 okay, well sparing him out of a sense of mercy or compassion didn't make much sense for Niko
@@stephenolder4552 He didn't spare him out, he never cared too much for killing him in first place, after some time he didn't care at all. There was no sense of mercy or compassion, just business.
Game is not trying to make a point that Niko feels for Dimitri, he takes a deal to get shit tonnes of money before retiring, no strings attached.
@@southweststrangla9591 I'm talking about killing Darko. That was personal to Niko.
I spent a summer in high school playing this game pretty much all day every day for several weeks. Which speaks a lot to just how much there is to do in it, but also with how compelling it is that I still felt immersed and invested in the story. I went on a lot of dates with Michelle, so I felt really blindsided and betrayed when she turned me in. I agonized over some of the choices that you're given, especially when it became very clear that they would have real consequences. I got really close with Kate and felt guilty for disappointing her. I chose not to do the deal largely because it was what Kate wanted and was devastated when I learned what the consequences were.
The thing that GTA IV does really well is characters, from Nico to Roman to Kate to Lil Jacob. It also handles choices very well, where there are many moments where you really feel trapped and don't like either option presented to you, and then makes you live with the consequences as they play out for the rest of the game. GTA V did a lot with streamlined gameplay mechanics, set pieces, and comedic tone, but couldn't come close to IV in terms of human drama.
My favorite GTA story by far. This is gonna be a good watch!
Yahtzee croshaw, a legend in the game reviewing world since 2007, called niko his favourite main character out of all the hundreds of games he’s reviewed. The reveal that niko isn’t being dragged back into his war-Torn history, but that he’s dragging everyone else back into it is masterful. He is the best written protagonist I’ve ever seen, rivaled only by Arthur Morgan
such an underrated fucking channel, perfectly putting their spin and opinion on the game yet being able to concisely tell the story within their review. this is why we follow you.
One of the greatest games of all time. Wish I was able to play it on ps5.
Sadly but theirs still the Xbox one which is backwards compatible and 60 fps so it's something I don't recommend PC port because they took out the old songs with a patch and didn't even fix the PC bugs
@@YourLocalToker this is why I'm about to get Xbox
@@YourLocalToker
Wot, I play the complete edition, yeah the songs are gone but the game is much more stable.
@@frog6054 Not really just because It doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't for everyone else The Optimization is horrible and the framerate constantly drops on a 3090 rtx if your talking about Rockstar Launcher good for you but the steam release has bugs with Missions(Mostly the last mission) not wanting to be completed or crashes when cars are driving because the psychics engine is locked with the framerate it's an old game with a terrible port

This games story was so much better and darker then GTA5 and I've only appreciated it more that I have become older.
I love that seemingly ALL the voice actors sound like they're going for an Oscar
This will always be the best GTA. Even 6 will probably never be able to top it. Niko is an awesome character
6 will be a disaster. Sure the graphics will look good, almost real maybe, but the story is most definitely gonna suck and we’re gonna be stuck with gta 6 online for the next 20 years.
@@funnyword8084 🤣 They're really 'bout to give us 25 to life on GTA6
@@funnyword8084 I agree. I have a feeling it will be a mix of what happened with both Cyberpunk and No man's sky. A glitchy mess, and at the same time, an underwhelming one
I've been wanting to see a "Bonny and Clyde" style thing since the character switching mechanic was first introduced in the trailer for GTA V! But there focus on online and other decisions have very much tempered my expectations. I also am one of the people who _really_ liked the vehicle physics in GTA IV, though admittedly they may have gone a little too far for the general gaming audience, but GTA V went so far the other direction it put me to sleep!
@@funnyword8084 For the game be good there is 2 possibilites, or the online be extremely great or they finally do a good history again like RD2 or GTA4. Mypar fear is mostly wokeness at rockstar part...
as someone who’s half-Jamaican, i LOVED Jacob’s addition to the game!
Can you do a side by side translation?
Did you understand everything he said? 😂
Grand Theft Auto IV is the best of the franchise and is easily one of the best games of the 7th generation. GTA4 and Red Dead Redemption was Rockstar at its peak with amazing storytelling, characters, and atmosphere. Those 2 games of some of my favorite video games ever.
San Andreas is the best game of the franchise
@@PolishGod1234cap everything from Catalina onwards is straight booty. Weak ass story😂 it takes the whole game for CJ to remember big smoke
@@PolishGod1234 Incorrect GTA SA is dog water compared to GTA IV and GTA Vice City.
@@FH4Player6397 lmao, nice joke. SA does literaly everything better than Vice City and Has more content than IV and VC combined
Almost a whole hour of wins?? Love it
I just wanted to say that it genuinely surprises me how similarly we see these games. I found your channel through games like god of war, but to click on a video of a game I've actually played and hear someone recount it the way I would truly goes on to say just what an amazing experience GTA 4 was. But you've also got that attention to detail that I never would have without you having described it first and I think it's what keeps me coming back.
Man I remember playing this back in... 2015 or so, and MAN was it an experience.
When Roman got killed at the end, I was shocked and saddened... and I immediately went to a previous save before I had to make "The Choice" and was hit with the "You can't have a good ending either way, you either have Roman or Kate die." And that hurt me. I stuck with the "Kate dies" ending, because I couldn't bear that cross of having Roman killed.
It’s so crazy thinking about the jump in visuals looking back. Going from San Andreas which was a powerhouse on the PS2 and Xbox to GTA 4 which is the first rockstar game of the 7th generation and how the jump in graphics is so jarring
I could never choose the ending with Roman's death, call it selfish but I almost always chose the ending with Mallory's death so that I could keep Roman around. The game felt empty when he wouldn't call.
Yeah the revenge ending the cannon ending
Bros over hos
is no one gonna tell him it was Kate who died, not Mallory?
Kate McReary dies, not Mallorie. But it just goes to show that Kate is so forgettable.
Yeah, it's Kate, not Mallory who died...
Mallory even states she is pregnant at the end and will name the baby Kate in tribute if she gives birth to a gorl
I'd probably consider GTA 4 as one of my favorite GTA games in the series. Graphics and open world elements may be outdated, but it brings back nostalgia. Too bad the PC optimization issues are still somewhat present even after all those years.
When either a movie, game, tv series, etc (whatever medium that a story is presented) is so good, I wish to be part and imagine myself in that story's setting/universe. GTA 4 is one of them.
Agreed
Even though the last mission is still glitched for newer consoles
@@Bladez5 you can beat it by using your index finger and swiping between A and x really fast and it’ll work, but yea it’s annoying
@@Bladez5 unfortunately a lot of aspects of the game, like quick time events, mini games, and even vehicle handling (especially bikes) were tied to the games fps. The ps3 and xbox 360 could barely get 30 frames per second.
@@nsagoogle9581 I had it for both 360 and PS3 and the PS3 was noticeably worse. It’s a slideshow anytime you’re driving and they tried to mask it with insane blur. It’s an ugly mess of a game lol and butchering the PC port was a crime! It’s such a shame because it’s a great game overall.
I love the crazy shots of things that just go completely unmentioned. Like the police car falling below the world, the spinning car a hundred feet in the air at the end of the video. Gets a chuckle out of me every time.
A 2008 game and it still get talked about even in 2023. 15 years ago i bought this game and i was baffled by everything. Played it on PS3 and even if the framerate was terrible not hitting constant 30fps i liked every aspect of it. I don't have any complaints.
The “Bill Burr who?” took me out😂
Been waiting on this one. Thanks for the top tier content. You’re the best!!
Mom got me this game when it came out and was completely blown away, makes me feel old that it’s turning 15… man to be 8 years old again 😢
This video is a perfect summary of the iceberg that is GTA 4, and I love how the narration blends viewpoints of it being just a game and form of entertainment - and it not being just a game (life lessons, social commentaries etc etc) at the same time. Very well done, sir!
33:37 Love how GTA 5s story subtly references the "and my wife better stop sleeping with the tennis coach" from 4
I was looking for this
Really wish they would give this game a remaster or re release
They were going to, but after the poor reception to the disaster that was the definitive edition, Rockstar punished us by canceling it
@@Richtofen-gy9cjI think this might be back on the table since RDR1’s port probably did well
I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't include the "I wouldn't do that" Bernie shouts when Niko confronts him. You can really hear the Florian overpowering Bernie in that one line.
Nah Revenge ending> Deal ending. No way in hell would Niko do that lol killing Dimitri on the Boat is the way to go and the most satisfying and having Roman alive at the end is much better. Plus when you fight Dimitri in the other ending you don't even properly execute him and finish him off which always bugged me
When I was a kid I didn't really like because it was so dark and didn't had wilderness (I live in a rural area, and i loved the countrysidein San Andreas). But then when I finished it I loved it, Niko's story to this day makes me so sad and I find it one of the most tragic characters in any media.
I dont know if GTA 4 was the first game I was old enough to really understand, but something about Niko and the reality checks to his life and story we got feel unique to me in the GTA series. There are moments in GTA san andreas, as well as GTA 5, but something about Niko and GTA 4 where it feels real. It feels like a genuine story, a movie-like script. Its not always balls to the wall action and crazy missions that suspend reality, but rather a mix of real possible struggles of a man trying to right some wrongs and move on with his life while the past refuses to let go. As Ive grown older and failed time and time again, fallen on my face and maybe for the last time, it means a lot going back through your video to relive some moments of simplicity and genuine happy moments. I dont have any genuine happy moments anymore, but I so badly wish I could go back to being a young teenager with no worries in the world. As I face the eternal darkness and sleep, I look back with nothing but tears of saddness and joy. This game oddly holds a bookmarker in the life I once enjoyed. A life I and I alone ruined. Thank you for a glimpse back to a time I was happy.
Great video, I rarely sit down and watch them if theyre super long but since its IV there is no exception. I remember being in shock and awe in the details this game had back in 08.
15 years and that intro still gives me goosebumps like first time seeing. Incredible. 2:15
This is the game which introduced me to whole another games. This game is near and dear to me, love every bits of the game. I really wish this game got many ports like any other games like RE4. It’s suck that R* forgotten about this masterpiece.
Subscribing. This channel has some great interspections and really understands Rockstar's commentary on America and by extension, the First World and the hustle to be someone by sacrificing one's own values and dignity for the idiocy of the masses just for the approval of people that will never care about you. The metaphor of the statue of liberty once being a shining beacon of value and promise now being as sickly green as the greed that permeates throughout it's economy. Going on a binge here and excited to see what other new videos he comes up with.
32:10 DarkviperAU uses this jingle in basically every video i seen of his.
GTA 4 is such a timeless game. And that's why I love it so much from it's story to it's characters down to the gameplay there's so much to enjoy in this game that makes it all the more worth playing even in 2023. This game is absolutely timeless. No matter how many years old this game gets it will always be my favorite GTA Game of all time. And I will gladly celebrate the game's 15th anniversary this year by making a tribute to this wonderful masterpiece of a game! 💛💛🔥🔥🔥
Hell yes bro, I’ve been waiting for this ever since your GTA V video
I was so glad that they included one of kino's songs into the radio, I still fondly remembered the first time when I heard it, so great...
One win you could've added was after niko says "could be", the music + title is the best opening i've seen in any game.
My first GTA that I actually played was this and tell you the truth it actually depressed me for a time because of the colour scheme and whole story for over two months after finishing it, till now whenever I look at any video of it, I still get the same feeling.
A part that was overlooked is when you first get to meet Filorian, and you insist that he killed your unit, he breaks his gay character voice and shouts in his old, manly voice that he didn't do it, making Niko speechless and believing him, I guess.
I really like that you pointed that out. We got to see the "real" him
I remember old YT videos of GTA IV back in 2009-2010. Stunts, machinimas, memes, all kind of stuff back then. I swore I was gonna wait to play it one day... and that day came at late 2016. What a incredible game, story, everything. GTA 3 was cool, Vice City (and Stories) was incredible, San Andreas was amazing but weird, GTA V wasn't that bad, and GTA IV... Definitely the best GTA so far
I’m so happy and appreciate you made this video, would love a GamingWins for the Liberty City stories TLAD & TBOGT.
This is my Dad's favorite gta because he can relate so much to Nico. Nico because he came to a new world unfamiliar to him and in a way he learned to feel comfortable with unfamiliar people. And The fact he tried to re-learn how to live as a civilian after the war.
The aesthetic of this game is amazing I wish they’d make another gritty game like this but no too extreme like it was In tlad
I always liked how each person on your friend's list had a vice. Like gambling steroids, coke weed.
I had been waiting for this video ever since the GTA 5 one and this is everything I expected it to be! Nicely done!
You didn't talk about the climax of the theme at the start! That sounds incredible to my ears. Goosebumps.
Look, I know you said you weren't going to do videos on DLC, but seriously!
You have to give GTA The Lost and the Damned.
And
The Ballad of Gay Tony a chance.
They are amazing, DLC!
You should really do Everything Great About L.A Noire
32:10 Just got slapped with a DarkViperAU intro
This was my first GTA experience. I was shocked. I didn’t get a chance to play San Andreas because I was in college at the time. I will just hear people talking about it as a satin stitch to clothing in the costume shop. At the time it in a mean, anything to me I was just trying to pass my classes. One of the best open world experiences ever had.
Please do TLAD and TBoGT next!
another small detail i loved is after most missions if u give someone a call u have a quick convo related to the mission
I was going to save this for work tomorrow......but I just couldn't wait.
im thinking about revisiting this game,i played it when i was maybe 7, just having fun playing around with the police, and getting in trouble. i recently found my old ps3, i re visited mw2, and god of war. cant wait to search my house for this game.
My first GTA was Vice City, but this one is by far my favorite in the series
A great timing. I came back to my ps3 to finally play this masterpiece. And it's a masterpiece. One of my favorite games!

This video was great. Glad I've found this channel.
ah it brings a Smile to my face to hear Nova being Referenced, man loved watching his videos growing up alongside the other Creatures
GTA 4 sits head and shoulders above GTA 5 for me, primarily for it's story and characters. the characters in 5 never felt particularly sympathetic or relatable. It's difficult to jive with Michael when he's living so comfortably, it's difficult to jive with Trevor because... well he's a completely irrational psychopath, Franklin is the closest we get as a guy who actually wants to move up in the world. and even then I don't even think he was done as well as CJ, let-alone Niko Bellic.
sidecharacters i'd say GTA 4 wins again, maybe even more resoundingly, I remember so much of Roman, of Patrick McReary, his brothers and Kate, Michelle, Mallorie, Little Jacob, Brucie, Florian, Faustin and Dimitri, Playboy X and Dwayne, the Pegorinos and Gravelli, Mikhaul Faustin's WIFE leaves a stronger impression than most of GTA5's cast. after a while the businessmen/feds started to just blur together into a soup.
Also didn't help that GTA 5 just got overshadowed badly by its contemporaries. when you think of games from 2008 for stories that stand the test of time, GTA4 still resonates as one of, if not the most memorable.
GTA5 meanwhile feels like it came from an entirely different era to its competitors in 2013, Last of Us completely annihiliated it in that regard.
Lmao here come you bandwagoners
@@austinbatton4849 Not really, felt this way for 10 years... STILL haven't even finished GTA5's story because it bored me to fucking tears.
if a bandwagon lasts 10 years?
it's not a bandwagon.
This story is patently superior to 5's
i wish i was born in the time this game was made so then i could have played it it was new
Same
But it’s still my favorite even though it wasn’t new when I played it
That Nova reference, God I love this channel
Fun Fact: the Voice Actor behind Charlie in the deal, is the same one who voiced Woozie in GTA: San Andreas!
this game is an absolute masterpiece
Best GTA game ever
The canon ending isn’t the one where Roman dies lol
I spent many hours and lonely days as a teen playing this, niko, the story and the driving/shooting mechanics is memorable for sure, but Brucie, he act like a tempting dame, calling every 30 mins to hang out
Masterpiece game
Oh hell yeah this is gonna be a good episode. Imma make some ramen and smoke a lil tonight and watch this 😌🤌
This GTA was the most immersive for me,I was not playing just to cause chaos in the city., the story and the characters were chef's kiss
22:10 Man you got brakes for a reason 😭😂🙏🏼
