I would have done it for free

considering the only other survivor is a faggy queer i would have done the same to his "friends"

How much does Niko charges to kill someone again?

$1,000
That's like $20,000 in fake russian money

Niko kills criminals, Darko sold his own friends

who's to say they were also not criminals, Niko surely fits the role.

Goran killed his neighbours

how many people did you kill while driving here?

YELLOW CAR

unironically the best GTA

All GTA protagonists are tough in some way, but Niko is just a hired killer and all he does is shoot people. IMO GTA IV even more of a power fantasy than other GTAs

That's not San Andreas

thats not vice city

you killed my threads for 0 dollars?

How many have you ruined?

Killed children in the war

Lol I feel nothing

Some junkie betrayed you

NOOOOOOO My LIFE IS RUINED

so how does the polish / russian dub deal with the slavic thing?
do they just speak random broken "slavic" like the english dub does or change it to another language like english?

They dub these things? I thought they only subbed the localizations.

I don't think these got a full dub

Can we just admit that Niko was based and is the best GTA protagonist?

oh... weird
thought it was a given for big game like this to get like 20 dubs

anon has never felt the bond of brotherhood

Must suck not being a man.

wait was he referring to himself or his enemy?

The best GTA for people who don't like GTA.

To me it reads more like it was the enemy but in either case it’s meant to be taken as if Niko and his squad stumbled on it after it had taken place and he had no direct involvement.

i kill communist for free
but for a greencard I would have carved it real nice

It’s actually for the people who like GTA since most casuals would get sick of the boat cars within 5 minutes.

1000 usd back then converted to rubles would make you a billionare there

VC gets mogged by 3

All soldiers in that region were killing children. Didn't matter who

Niko mogs everyone in the story with no sense of fear. It's based

These character models are so ugly and stupid looking, awful game.

Didn't Niko also did terrible things on innocent people too though ? Murder, Kidnapping, human trafficking, probably more...
Niko says it himself that he was engulfed in rage and did terrible things in his 20s, he's a man who want to change but is haunted by his past and himself. And he hates himself for it.

And that's why not killing Darko is the right thing to do. Niko is never going to get better if he stays stuck in the past, where he too was a monster.

you cleaned up an image board for 0 dollars?

lol

Spare Darko, Kill Dimitri.

I'd say it's more a manifestation of ptsd like wanting to die
if you you go on a gta style rampage on the streets he starts yelling shit like he's over the edge

ugly and stupid looking

Hitting too close to home, chief?

Pay attention to the words, the guy asks about Niko's soul and Niko answers with an example of a person that "could" do it
So he didn't do the exact example but he did similar things, good writing on Niko answering it but not exactly at the same time

"Life.... is complicated...."

runs over a crowd of people

"War is where young and stupid get tricked into killing each other...."

kidnaps an innocent woman

"With every day we live, we pick up a new baggage that we must carry for the rest of our lives"

mows down a family of 4

"Maybe here things will be different"

shoots up a hospital

"I hope youve got insurance!"

Ludonarrative dissonance

neko look out for the covid zombies!

worst GTA by far. Only one that puts me to sleep with it's story. Seriously gay movieshit and I'm glad GTA went back to it's roots with 5.

Rockstar games never recieve official dubs, company policy

GTA 5 was too... hollywood. Meanwhile 4 was quite grounded and didn't have lolrandom dialogue that must've made people shit and piss their pants from laughter.

average day in yugoslavia in the 90s is considered an epic masterpiece of drama in the west in the 2000s

hm

Nothing that happens during gameplay is canon.

damn that bitch isnt even fat and has lardy flab thighs, tell her to hit the fuckin gym

Meanwhile 4 was quite grounded and didn't have lolrandom dialogue that must've made people shit and piss their pants from laughter.

youtube.com/watch?v=sn6xCFEDcUk

GTA 4 was the definition of hollywoodslop with boring uninteresting characters and gameplay. By far the worst GTA and was considered a huge disappointment on release. Only zoomers glaze this game.

is there anything good about 4 other than the story and the physics

Russian dub

Some guy just talks over the original audio in the same voice for every character

from the jetpacks and pink dildo weapons of san andreas to the gritty drama and tech demo gameplay of 4
5 overcorrected on the gameplay and had lackluster writing hopefully 6 achieves something more akin to a good balance if far from generational kino

He kidnapped the mob daughter who was innocent.

By far this, "time for us to tell a more machure storee!" The cucks at Rockstar were trying so hard to become some sort of profound writers and it's just agonizing to play.

Gorgeous, huh? Like condensed money

Truly a game of its time

it will always be a tragedy this downgrade released after SA

KEK

and killed countless cops who were trying to feed their families

is gta4, or gta in general, as quotable as the sopranos?

gta4, yes
gta in general, not really. V definitely not. san andreas maybe

If your enemy is soulless then it's only massive copium that leads you to think that you could have a soul.

5 had the most memorable quotes retard

Sparing Darko is the moral option, killing him is a better narrative. Niko straight up says it doesn't change anything and he was stupid for thinking it would. He's just empty.

5 was actually this awful middle ground where both problems got worse despite setting out to be a middle ground. Longer, stupid and uninteresting plot with awful character writing. Mediocre gameplay that takes away the things that could immerse you into 4. It's worrying that increasingly we keep getting the worst of both worlds in all new things.

Saints Row 2 mogged this game.

They overdid it with Trevor in 5.

t. balkanoid

honestly I have no idea how will be VI, RDR2 shows they could still do serious stories and it was an enormous success, hopefully they keep the more "wackier" stuff for GTA6 online

In what regard

5000$ fixed price

5 had nothing besides "niiiigaaaaa~~~~"

it legit surprises me that RDR2 was made at all.

it was probably muslims if we're being realistic

Sparing Darko just isn't real. It's something nobody would ever realistically do, because he presents a threat. It's such a shitty moral dilemma, because even if Niko wanted to spare him and wanted to change he obviously couldn't let him live.

say 5 right now

GTA is made for the free money, RD are the true passion projects of the team

because he presents a threat

My memory is falling me but isn't he some homeless junky who is traumatized to death (even more than Niko) of his past, and is begging for death ?

To enemy soldier, he's not worried about his soul since if enemy soldier can do this, he's not killing a human being

Is RDR2 good? From what I saw the physics is quite bad compared to the first one

I know that however that is exactly the point. Why would they greenlit RDR2 if gta5 was already making all of the money?
My guess is that internally they sold the idea that RDR online would make as much money as gta online so they would greenlit the project.

and RDR online was kind of a failure (even if it actually was pretty decent even if hackers ran rampant), yet RDR2 still was a big success

I read they had to nerf the Euphoria software thing they used, probably will be the same for GTA VI, that software is pretty much lost technology due to right issues with the owner and Rockstar can barely keep it going

Nico, it's Roman.
Let's go bowling.

"What should we do with the country side of Los Santos?"

"Lets fill it with dead towns that got depopulated half a century ago, that will be biting social commentary LA metro area"

End up with half the map having nothing of note

Roman kept telling Niko America was a land of possibility and opportunity

Times sure have changed

To his compatriots

story

gameplay

character customization

music

Yeah GTAIV has better graphics but that's about it.

so it is literally just franklin roasts lamar?
you couldn't even think of a single other good line?
embarrassing.

9/10 of these have nothing to do with franklin retard

The cops in GTA are basically their own gang with how all their voice lines insinuating they enjoy killing people.

Talk about realism

Would you be okay with a homeless war veteran that wants you dead being around the city you live in?

nah this shit aint fucking it bruh...

oh shit, here we go again

imagine if adults have to feed ___ with their cocks

bonding with criminals

Nigger

The explanation after is what makes sense. Nico basically kills people all the time and nothing changes for him. Darko is a junkie and would die in LC on his own. Bernie and Roman both moved on from the hell of their country but Nico hasn't because of him.

It's not a "You'll be just as bad as him" It's more that killing Darko does nothing for Nico. It's not gonna bring anyone back and the dude is basically a junkie with nothing left. He has the same issues as Nico, but he's even more fucked up from it and rather die. He doesn't threaten Nico or anything, he just wants Nico to put an end to everything for him. It's better he deal with that shit and drive himself to further mania. He'll never survive in LC for long. Contrast this with the other "Revenge" scenario, Dimitri actively fucks with you and Roman throughout the game and would do anything to see you killed. You HAVE to take a chance to kill him because he was untrustworthy, even if Jimmy was going to probably turn on you.

5

I don't think Darko is even capable of pulling the trigger anymore, even if he wants to kill Niko. Dude's too far gone to be a threat.

nah, CJ is still the best and it's not even close, it's actually astounding how all of the protags have some flavor of unbearable about them (except VC and GTA3's honestly they're alright)

At most he's going to kill someone else for his next fix but he's too mindbroken to go after Niko

Reminder that Niko's first mission in which he kills people he was only paid $150. But this was a drug deal ambush so it wasn't really planned killing. However, the next mission he does know he will kill people and he does it for $200. So to be generous Niko's price to kill is $200

GTA III trilogy: gameplay focused
GTA IV and V: story focused
it's kinda ironic that it didn't work out the way they wanted

Integral to the plot, also gracie was a cunt.

It came out in like 10BC or some shit, give it credit

Deal is the more climactic and cathartic ending

but Revenge keeps Roman alive and is the logical course of action

I kinda wish there was no choice and we were just locked into Roman dying and Dimitri being the final enemy

YES.

I always felt like Deal did Pegorino better. Also Dimitri was a better final villain.
However Kate will leave you if Roman dies anyway, so I am glad fat cozhin got to survive.

So in the end was he really in the wrong?

Yes, he was a stupid, evil motherfucker with no honor whatsoever. Johnny Klebitz is also a degenerate, but at least he has the pretense of honor.

paranoidal schizophrenic ruins everything for no good reason

yes, he was a shitty villain

He's a fucking retard pseud spewing a bunch of shit he thinks sounds smart but its actually just nonsense

Kate will leave you if Roman dies

So? Who the hell cares about Kate?

That's literally every character in GTA4

I HAVE A PLAN JOHNNY
have some kosher faith
motorcycle laws are different in tahiti

I sure don't. That's why I pick my main nigga Roman to survive every single time.

I still think the deal/revenge choice should have been based on how you dealt with Darko.

Killing him puts you on the revenge ending while sparing him puts you on the deal ending.

that's what fucks me over. in the game most choices have a clear much better outcome than others.
why wouldn't you kill playboy X over Dwayne, or the junkie over the cop?

also, that one mob guy who works for pegorino was supposed to be a friend you could hang out but they scrapped it.

I always kill roman, just as revenge for calling me too much. Enjoy bowling in hell.

RDR2 was ultimately Dan Houser's personal dream cowboy simulator game, it wouldn't surprise me if RDRO was essentially an afterthought.

Wait she legit does? What the fuck were they thinking?

or the junkie over the cop?

I always see people say this but killing Francis seems way more in character for Niko to me. Derrick may be a useless fuck but he's never been hostile to Niko, while Niko only started working for Francis because Francis blackmailed him. Plus Niko is friends with Packie, and Packie hates Francis but not Derrick, so I don't see why Niko wouldn't choose the option that would upset his friend less.

misson: kill this guy

mission passed: $200

Sparing Darko allows Niko to let go of his past and to embark on the path of a humanity, but he loses the monstrous nature that allows him to defend those he loves

Niko retains his monstrous nature, but uses to save others, giving them salvation even if can't attain it himself

That would be pretty cool, damn.

Well, after you make the deal she breaks up with you, but then after Roman dies, she calls you back to.say she's here for you and shit I think she's still locked out of dates in gameplay though

No, she calls you one last time afterwards and says she is not interested in you and it's over.

I hate how every character is either completely retarded or completely evil in GTA IV

Yeah Niko should really probably have killed himself

I've been replaying TLAD a lot lately. I don't know why.

The ending where Roman dies is a thousand times more kino than the other one and it should've been the default.

I never dated Michelle nor Kate. But somehow I'm supposed to feel attached to them somehow? Nice writing, Housers.

Kiki is my only true GTA love. She takes away my wanted level and for that she can have all the sixty diners she wants.

I play TLAD a lot, I just really like the hardcore/metal/biker aesthetic it has going on and the weapon selection is probably my favorite in IV. The gang wars are also really fun to do.

just a prank cuz

Darko isn't a threat anymore, Dimitri still constantly threatens you. It would be retarded for those choices to have any connection

Games should have LESS choices (and that's a good thing!)

Do zoomers really?

Darko looking like a fucked up version of Niko was a great choice, even his full name "
Darko Brevic" Sounds like "Niko Bellic", hell even the outfit is a bit similar

implying criminals aren't the scum of humanity

implying they have morals

implying they wouldn't rape you and behead you if they'd gain the measliest sum for doing so

to be fair, you can buy a lot of hamburgers for a thousand dollars

MC is called Niko Bellic

the ghost of his past is called Dark Bellic

who writes this shit

But why pay today for the Hamburger when I can pay on Tuesday?

That's called kino of the highest esteem

The majority of Anon Babble is too young to understand this reference, but well played.

CJ is bland and uninteresting and people only like him because of the other characters he interacts with
even Franklin is better character than CJ

ASS KICKIN INSURANCE
AND IM ABOUT TO MAKE A DEDUCTIBLE

Finally something funny

don't have H in your alphabet, use G instead

"haha they all start with G"

don't have H in your alphabet, use G instead

what is Kha

don't speak on matters you have no knowledge of

Hey i'm eating a Golivud Gamburger right now!

Don't they just use X for their letter H? When Russians laugh in euro chats of any shooters they type in XAXAXAXA (hahahaha.)

I prefer Jollywood Jamburgers myself

Ivan_JA1.jpg - 114x99, 3.77K

I am slav you dumb nigger and I know about X, pronounced /kha/, and used with Ch in slavic languages which use latin alphabet, but russian don't use it as H substitute, they use G instead
remember MGS3 and the Groznyj Grad? in other slavic languages, such as czech, it would be called Hrozný Hrád, yet russian didn't call it Khroznyj Khrad, did they?
I hope you're just an uninformed ameriburger and not actually retarded

YOU ARE SILLY

Why do they use xaxaxaxaxa for laughing and not gagagagaga?

because that's their word
when they write foreign word they substitute H with G, as you can see on the propaganda poster

because derrik is a junkie traitor that narked on his guerrilla friends from what i remember.
regardless even though francis is more in character at the end of the day the player has nothing to gain by killing him. if rockstar played their cards right we could ahve had playboy X as a friend and derrick could also have unlocked some sort of favor

Playboy X was a shit and didn't deserve to have friends

Everything is more retarded in russian

Suka, Grozniy Grad is a russian name, of course it's spelt with G

the point was the other slav languages use H but not russia, because they don't know the H as in "haha" and X is completely different consonant which other slav languages use alongside H
for russians it's more natural to pronounse H word with G than it is with X, since they pronounce the letter like "guh"

That's what made me like him so much. Every shitty crime boss he encounters isn't used to being stood up to and they all have little 'wait, why isn't he scared' moments when Niko shakes them off like they're bugs.
I suspect it's incredibly freeing in real life too to not give a shit about death.

Topkek

Niko WANTS to die and the fact he's so flippant with every single "hard guy" he comes across is the best part of the story imo. He genuinely does not care. He's seen too much, he's done too much, there's nothing any of these criminals can do to him emotionally that hasn't been done to him 100 times over.

It's kinda funny how despite GTA 4 supposedly being a more grounded game, Niko feels even more of a one-many army than most of the other protagonists. I guess you can say they all have some kind of motivation to keep going aside from Claude and Trevor, who's presumably has severe ASPD and is too unstable most of the time to ponder too deeply about situation most of the time respectively. Niko is relatively functional compared to those two and has actual military experience, so it's no wonder he's so dreadful.

CJ is a bitch for never standing up to Sweet's lazy, loser ass. Muh hood, muh gang, muh cred, the dumb nig couldn't even keep a street block in check.
He was also a push over to Catalina and Tenpenny. People just forget because the story is diluted in dozens of hours of filler missions and minigames.

Check out these official dubs

You have failed me for the last time, anon

you didn't play the game, only the San Andreas intro for the memes. CJ comes into his ownafter being exiled from LS, to the point where by the time he comes back he really doesn't need "the grove".

playboy x was a faggot, dumb as fuck and only made it as far as he did once dwayne was locked up.

Never happened. If this form of genocide happened, it would be seen as the Bosnian Serb shoah.

That's the point of him not killing Darko. He even mentions that living is harder than dying. That's why it's better to not kill him because Darko is even more fucked up and a junkie. At least, Niko has Roman and Mallorie. Dude basically doesn't give a fuck what happens to him and flirts with death. He's more angry that Dimitri goes after Roman instead of him.

and Mallorie

Yeah, about that...

lots of jews near the webcafe

only because of the driving desu, 90% of a gta game is driving around, the statisfaction of it was everything.

He needed to die to avenge Niko's comrades. They'd be looking down on Niko sparing him like 'wtf man'. Also to prevent Darko from fucking over anyone else in future, and to force him to atone for his crimes.

Both decisions have good arguments behind them though.

3.png - 1920x1080, 2M

They should bring Niko back in VI but they don't have the balls to

Both decisions have good arguments behind them though.

letting Darko live just only because he's a junkie is some "if you kill your enemies they win" bullshit

Niko has no interest in the gangster life in either ending. He either committed suicide or is a taxi driver in Liberty City.

I can see it in two ways

Lucia's dad dies in the hospital, and she can't even be there as the cops are having a shootout with Niko after he killed John Gravelli

Lucia's dad dies and her and her mom move to VC. Niko's their cab driver.

flashing lights

Absolute kino

What do you mean? In games or movies?
I mean there's is no polish dub for GTA 4, only subs.
In movies in cinema we usually get subs and dubs (dubs most for animated or live action children's movies) but on tv there are dubs from the cinema and a voiceover guy that just reads the dialogue.
In games there are subs and some dubs, No one is making fake accents.
Fun fact, Stalker trilogy had a voiceover guy just like on the TV and because of that it added so much atmosphere.

She tells you not to do the deal, but if you do it she has a woman moment over you not listening to her and she dumps you. And then Roman dies. I hate women so I will always protect Roman.

Packie was in GTA V as optional crew member and if you take him with you on one of the heists he says that Niko is probably dead
youtube.com/watch?v=OgBhPRIMkMM
It could mean nothing, since he doesn't know for sure and there was LC license plate spotted in trailer 2, which could mean there would be a mission in there like Saint Mark's Bistro in SA or North Yankton in V and at least mentioning Niko would be obvious fanservice, but I don't see bringing Niko as important npc in VI

implying radio mirror park is bad

It's the best station in the game

I loved how base IV had only 2 signature guns in each category and the later weapon was direct upgrade

There was nothing ta the time that would compare in such an open world scale zoomzoom. It was like dark magic to see the jump from san andreas to this. AND with euphoria physic and advanced weather.

I feel like IV was sort of a regresión.

In fun, variety and colors but everything else was a jump into next gen. We're never getting another technological breakthrough. That one was the last.

Sort of my ass, it was a third of the game SA was.

I chuckled

Every GTA up to and including IV was a classic in it's own way, I don't like to compare them.

The franchise lost it's edge with V, and won't get any better with GTA: Chad and Stacey Edition. Like in V it will be shinier, graphics will be better, more bells and whistles, but it won't be as cool as the classics.

Whatever. It happens. The franchise had a good run. I'll still hand my shekels over to Cockstar next year but I'm not expecting much.

This game's PC port might be the worst of all time. They really cucked PC gaymers outta the best GTA.

it definitely was in terms of content and player freedom, but the leap in graphics more than made up for it

GTAIV is so fucking depressing compared to all the other GTAs.

The best for people who like good games. FTFY.

4 is inferior to 5 though

You know my price, FIVE!

So what war did Niko fight in?
I wonder if a decade from now we'll have games about the war in ukraine. There's some fucked up shit happening in there that both east and west like to forget.

He looks like a trustworthy guy :^)

how much do you charge for your fleeting sense of authority

No but Johnny wasn't completely in the right, either

Funny enough, this was the only choice in a video game I ever had some difficulty choosing. In the end I let the fuck live, he clearly has done to himself than a cap from a Glock could ever hope to do and gave Niko some form of closure in moving past it.
Then the fucker died like five minutes after that meeting, so rare Win with no drawbacks for Niko.

Not always. The knife is better than the baseball bat.

GTA IV has one of the only "revenge bad" narratives where sparing the person you're trying to get revenge on actually makes sense. Giving the player the option to kill him also demonstrates that Rockstar had a modicum of confidence in their own writing to deliver that message, which is nice.

A couple mods and it's good to go, like all the other Rockstar pc ports before GTA V

I don't think all the GTA games were / are made for that purpose, but GTA V was very obviously made because Rockstar North were told to make a new GTA game and not because it was a game they genuinely wanted to make.

Rockstar had a modicum of confidence in their own writing

It's been a while but IIRC, GTA 5's story didn't leave you such choices. Most of it bordered on parody. Why was there such a stark difference between 4 and 5's writing and themes? RDR2 seems to have much more thought put into it compared to GTA 5, and they had the same amount of dev time.

He didn't do it in that case but it was in that moment he realized how horrible his own atrocities were

People on here have talked about 5 being phoned-in before, part of that is that all of the creative decisions with the game amount to "what did we do in 4? Ok, just do the opposite of that".

Yeah, dirty deeds done dirt cheap. It's actually real that people are killed for that little amount. The whole $50,000 to kill this guy does exist, but someone would take a couple grand to put one in your head easy.

I grew up in shit I didn't need to be around.

4’s serious tone was divisive and controversial, so they decided to make 5 more tongue in cheek. In a way, it’s surprising they went back to super seriousness with RDR2.

I had to spend time thinking to remember where most of those lines were from. Daveyyy is only notable because of speedrunning memes. My N word was the only memorable one you listed

only remember the franklin roast

Wew

We made threads, but I had other threads! Threads that Anons his guys killed with viyda butts ,wojacks, and 'ick on the 'eck! My fucking threads! About video games! Beacause of what? Because he can't stop posting butts or cocks?! Fucking cocks!

So that makes it okay to report your fellow Anons??

When every thread youu make falls to page 10 and is pruned and forgotten you make strange choices I guess.

Yugoslav War fit the most : Serbia was involved, took place between 1991 and 2001, so when Nico was between 13 and 23 he became involved

He needed to die to avenge Niko's comrades.

Niko's 'comrades' (Goran and his boys) are the ones who killed Darko's friends.

The world is a corpse, some people just are forced to see it earlier

complete edition removes most of the soundtrack, you either have to pirate an original copy or use a patcher to downgrade the game and then re-install the soundtrack from somewhere else.
