You can write off individual parts of GTA 4 as simply mini-games, or roll your eyes at the execution-the constant phonecalls from Niko’s cousin, Roman, suggest that in this universe bowling is slightly more addictive than heroin-but in bulk they create a city unlike anything we’d seen before. There’s never a shortage of life to it all, though. There’s a grit to the game that even San Andreas’ gang-focused opening didn’t really offer, with any sense of hope constantly undercut by reminders that the one part of Niko’s past he can’t escape is himself. The opening hours aren’t set in the shining Times Square type parts of not-New York, but the grubby inner city Skid Row parts, where apartment walls rattle to the sound of passing trains and loan sharks and low-level gangsters live like kings amongst the poverty and squalor. Unlike Vice City’s playful psychopathy or San Andreas’ rags-to-jetpacks tale, GTA 4 gives us Niko Bellic-a largely broken man at the bottom of the social ladder, who spends most of the story being used and abused by those around him. Much of that comes from the choice of character. Fine you got it, you want my word, you got my word.It was arguably the first big city that truly felt alive So either you give me your word or go fuck yourself, I'm sick of this shit!įine. No! I keep doing these favors for you and you pay shit. "I'll see what I can do." is not good enough. I said I got connections, I'll see what I can do. I don't need looking after, I need help finding someone. What do you mean what am I gonna do for you, I look after you.

This town's full of rats so who knows? What's going on? What's so urgent? I know how it is? Yeah, I know how it is sitting around with two million dollars worth of stolen ice, waiting to get jumped. Which is convenient, 'cause if she did, I'd have to kill you. Word to the wise, though - she don't put out. And fucking off outta here right now, before I throw a fuckin' bottle at her. this is Niko, some drug dealing de-fuckin'-generate from some armpit in Eastern Europe. Maybe if being a drunkard doesn't work out you can be a comedian.įuck off. Let's hide the body, at least for a while. And you don't care whose life you ruin on the way? Wonderful! You're here on some revenge mission for something that happened ten years ago. Why are you telling me this now? Do you always get sentimental after you kill people? So for ten years I've been searching for the other two. for money! Twelve people died, three escaped. to ambush a squad who had killed a lot of innocent people. What do you expect? I give him a massage? I told you to be calm you hot headed chump! I killed people, smuggled people, sold people.Īfter you walk into a village and you see 50 children, all sitting neatly in a row, against a church wall, each with their throats cut and their hands chopped off, you realize that the creature that could do this doesn't have a soul. When the war came, I did bad things, but after the war I thought nothing of doing bad things. So many years I wondered what it was, or what was wrong with me that I did not see it in him, or I changed him. When we were young, at home, he was beautiful.
