The fact that this was a subplot, and not the main plot of the game speaks volumes to the depth of grand theft auto auto 4. It still doesn’t make sense to me that the diamonds ended up in the middle of a park when they were in the back of a dump truck though.
Well, the dump truck was traveling through an industrial area, and from there you can drive back into Broker, which is where it was going. Stopped at the park, either they were unloading there nearby, or the driver was checking the load, he dumped them next to it in the trash.
You know Phil Bell should appear in GTA 6 years after the whole Pegorino thing. An just do his own thing the "Bell Gang" take what he learned from his former boss and do the opposite of them. Guys got a right head on him more then his last boss, no doubt he'd have way more success then Jimmy Pegorino.
@@silentecho92able bro would’ve been a better boss than Peg. And since Phil was Irish, and Packie worked for the Pegs, they could know each other. I would love to see more gta 4 characters, and the good ones, not just Michelle and cuck Johnny Kelbitz
@@vadamane If Phil was the boss instead of Jimmy Pegorino in GTA4. That whole crew probably would not have gone belly-up like it did. This talk about Jimmy trying to join the commission with how he runs his group is dysfunctional which has already disqualified him more then ones. Phil despite being the best in the crew, is 90% Irish and to many associates too. The Commission prefers all 100% Italian. Another thing Jimmy keeps getting himself into much trouble. The Commission ain't gonna accept a group that keeps getting itself to much Heat it ain't happening. An finally Pegorino is from Alderney, the Commission only accepts those from Algonquin area specifically the OG families. If Phil was the one in charge instead of pursuing whatever Jimmy wants. They would have probably turned Alderney into there own personal fort instead of wasting time with the other families across the pond.
@@silentecho92able yeah I remember when niko and Phil were debating pegorinos plan for a certain job and they both knew it wasn’t a good plan but had to do it anyway cuz that’s the boss orders
@@vadamane You know what i see in Phil his like a light version of Tommy Vercetti. Only difference is he ain't reached his true potential. An his boss ain't secretly backstab him like Sonny Forelli on Tommy, but at least Sonny is smart compared to Jimmy as he is just incompetent in general. If Phil somehow returns i hope to god the developers see that guys true potential, imagine playing the game nearly half way only to run in Bell. An turn out he carved his own small empire down in Vice cause he did the opposite of what Jimmy does and get mission from Phil that would be awesome.
The diamond story in GTA 4 is really one of the best written stories in GTA series. Hopefully GTA 6 has a story similar to this one. GTA 5 was more like Michael paying off his past life to the feds and getting his friends involved in the situation Trevor and Franklin. GTA V was more of Michael’s story than anything else which isn’t a bad thing just wasn’t as impactful as the diamond story in GTA 4.
Idk if you know this but Michael was the first character Rockstar made for GTA V so it makes sense most of the story revolves around him. Franklin and Trevor came later
@@wyald7240I don't know why they needed to write so many characters, it would been fine with one or two, and just kept making a more detailed world and immersive story. I barely liked playing Franklin, And really don't like Trevor..another joker hit the jonkler cart type. I dont find it entertaining to me and lets not forget all the cut content and the areas of the map unused, North Yankton could be a perfect DLC expansion to travel to and from and freely explore but they never kept designing it all to make more content they would eventually cut too..😂
Pegorino is to blame. He made Ray the only capo. Ray should have more capos helping him. And Jimmy hired so many associates without checking them first.
True. Ray did a lot of work because Jimmy wouldn't botter to hire more people based on stupid old mafia traditions. It's a miracle that Phil made it out this far in the organization.
Man, these videos are always giving me a completely different understanding of the story of these games. Seeing as i played most of them as a kid and i didnt care about the lore or the events within, and just wanted the mayhem.
I definitely agree, but I guess it’s because I literally played these games when I was a child and in my early teen years and didn’t have an understanding of things like I do now in my early 20s.
@@mr.peanutbutter6969check flea markets, thrift stores, maybe ebay, facebook marketplace or video game stores near you might have an older console and some might come w games you use to play as a kid
Man, i wished Niko, Johnny, and Luiz would meet again in a more friendly encounter and become friends, but knowing how they all wronged each other in some way its probably for the best they didnt meet up. At least Johnny and Niko can advise Luiz (who hasn't lost anyone dear to him) to not let revenge(Niko) and greed(Johnny) make him do something that he'll regret later on in life.
Tbf look how many Lost members died because of the diamonds deal, Luis kills them so many with remote bombs while Johnny and the others killed gay Tony's boyfriend and stole the diamonds. Those money belonged to the Lost and if I was Johnny I would have stole them too from Ray given the chance because he just sat at his restaurant giving orders while Johnny and his gang risked their lives. I believe it was thanks to those money the Lost were able to move to San Andreas and start business there.
@@the_sam_strongyeah but it was because of Johnny ' actions that led the Pegorinos to retaliate and drive them out of Liberty City. Johnny was really lucky the Pegorinos were in a bad spot and didn't fully bring attention to them. I like how they are seen as joke in the game but the Pegorino crime family are still much of threat to gangs and criminals who aren't the Commision. The McReary's were under their thumb and they had enough power to be serious threat to the Lost.
Lmao i love that Ray says "Go to an alley way between Columbus and Denver" and then you go outside just to realize its literally around the other side of the very building you just came out of talking to ray. He would've just said Go round back soon as you go out the door niko you'll see them soon as you turn right.
Sometimes I be playing these games and laughing at these crazy characters then I get stoned and I’m like… bro this is some dark tragic shit and situations I’d never wanna find myself in. GTA4 is crazy bro
I love how the game starts with the cook staring up at the diamond and ends with the homeless man doing the same thing. Great breakdown of this plot line in the game, I never even thought about Ray pocketing the money for himself, I thought he was gonna use the diamond money to get Pegorino’s favor.
The messed up thing is there is also a good chance the homeless guy got tracked down as well. His biggest mistake was telling the news about the diamonds because now everyone knows who has them and what his plans are and where hes going.
It’s likely he cashed them in to a jeweler which woulda made them long gone plus everyone involved with them is pretty much dead or done with them. No point
They need to make the diamond deal into a movie directed by Quentin Tarantino. It doesn’t have to be a video game movie they can make a movie that’s kinda based off of the game.
A great recap on the diamonds storyline. I originally thought Ray Bulgarin actually recovered the diamonds after the botched deal at Charge Island somehow and Luis had them on him and it fell. I really wonder if Luis and Tony actually noticed that they were in Jerry’s possession in the end but that’s another story. About Johnny setting up the Los Santos Chapter with the diamond money….. I’m fairly sure that Johnny gave the money to Jim’s family. I do believe that Johnny betrayed Ray because he was desperate after Brian’s betrayal along with his distrust of Boccino coupled by his relationship with Ashley, however the wiki says that Johnny gave the diamond money to Jim’s family which I believe. He may have kept half of it for himself though after desiring to start a new chapter of the Lost. However I really overlooked how Ray kept the diamond issue a secret from the rest of the Pegorinos. It puts Ray in a new light. However I’m willing to give Ray the benefit of the doubt because we’ll never know what would happen if he did have the money from the deal. Ray did say that he didn’t wish to speak of the diamond unless he has earned from it. Ray likely would’ve given 60% of his cut to Pegorino, approximately 600,000 dollars with Ray himself getting 400,000, despite him having orchestrating the whole thing with Johnny supposedly receiving one million dollars. Considering Ray’s goons attempting to kill Johnny as he left the museum with Niko just having left, we’ll never know if Ray really did intend to screw Johnny over.
I really enjoy the way you out in so much effort to sync the events together even going as far as to put the audio of the gun fire at the gracie exchange from nikos POV to line up with luis becoming aware of the start of the conflict. I actually did something similar in my last playthrough of the game by playing each of the stories in chronological order. I started the game as niko obviously and then started The Lost and as soon as i killed Jason as Niko i cut over to TLAD and Played the Mission where you hear of Jasons death. As soon as the bank mission was finished i started TBOGT since thats where it begins. I did this for the entirety of the 3 atory lines. The most tedious but interesting part was doing the mission with the diamond deal because this required me to watch the exact same cutscene 3 times in a row just from different POVs.
The diamonds were a plot device, that's all. The moral of GTA IV I feel was that while pursuit of money is what America is all about. Greed can cost us as seen in the mission "If The Price Is Right".
Niko and ray have a complicated relationship. They don’t really like each other but do favors for each other like ray helping you find Bernie and Niko helping him with the diamonds but in the end, they both wanted each other dead.
I don't think they ever actually wanted each other dead tbh. I know there was the cutscene in the mission "Pest Control" when Ray gives Niko a weird look then tells Pegorino to "think about what I said" which may indicate he was suggesting to kill Niko but I feel he was talking about Phil but didn't want Niko to know that. I also don't remember if Niko ever hinted at wanting Ray dead either, unless there was something he said that I forgot. Even when he was tasked to kill Ray I don't think he actually wanted to do that. I do know Niko grew tired of Ray after this diamond ordeal but I don't recall any mention of wanting him dead. Ray was a slimeball so who knows what he was thinking though lol
Bro, you be breaking shit down that I wouldn’t even think that would have to be broken down. Like @6:57 , I figured he just didn’t want to be near them so he wouldn’t be figured out by the cops. I didn’t even make the mafia connection! 🔥🔥 bro, you make me want to play GTA4 again.
Yup. If she didn't do deals with Dimitri or hung around Ray. Niko, Johnny and Luis would be cordial atleast. Dimitri, Ray Pachino, and Ashley were the 3 that really turned things to shit. Even Roman in a way made things worse associating with Dimitri.
the thumbnail just made me realize that the gta iv dlc foreshadowed gta v having 3 protagonist🔥 idk how i never caught that but imagine if gta iv was created that way from the beginning
Man, your videos are something, else, I don't know what it is, but every time I watch these videos of yours it seems like I'm watching something horror related, I don't know to put, what I want to say in words, But I tried my best, anyway just found your channel and I already love it.
Tbf Niko is lucky Ray wasn’t as involved as Dimitri lol. Ray is actually one if not the most powerful gangster we’ve seen in the GTA verse. Hell all 5 families didn’t want to piss him off
Hey brother, NICE video. Hella done well and this certainly clears shit up for me. Thanks man. But WHAAAT song starts playing at 6:58 and why does it sound so familiar?! Please someone get back 2 me on this..
Further tragic that the fact depending on Nico's choices, he's doomed to lose someone close to him, either his girlfriend of his cousin. As for Johnny, well... Those that played story mode in GTA5 unfortunately knows about his final epilogue.
@@nicktubara The guy seemed to ultimately relent on his girlfriend's insistence to try the stuff she's been on... The timing couldn't have been worse once he met the unpredictable Trever.
@@SorcererLance johnny getting on meth is so unlike him as a character, he would never have gone near drugs at all no matter what the situation he was already going through at the time. It was lazy writing, to me johnny got his crap kicked outta him he laid unconcious for Ashley to bawl over him n it gave her a realisation that shè cared for him more than the drugs so she grabbed johnny got him in the car drove him to a nearby hospital to treat his injuries n she got into rehab right away. Johnny sought out help after he healed up n they both got each other to kick the habit n become better people. That's how it went down, can't tell me otherwise.
@nicktubara I know I'm 3 months late but honestly Johnny's death is kinda like real life. There are some guys who do love/ simp for women like Ashley who they known their entire lives (childhood love) while also she brings him down to a very low-level because she's unaware of her own behavior/toxicity. Yes johnny would never do drugs not meth of all things but let's not forget that johnny love Ashley very much but couldn't see that the love was toxic/codependent which cause him to eventually or unfortunately do meth. It's like how we hear married couples get a divorce when the couples knew each other since high-school or middle-school. Life is unpredictable in-which you either escape your trap or get enclosed by it.
I started the video and my playback speed wa at 2x , bro I though you were rapping 😂 , after i did 1x then read the subtitles understood what were you speaking
It would’ve been cool if they did one more dlc and introduced the multiple character thing then and make a story where Niko Luis and Johnny have to work together to stay alive or something
Yeah I always wondered what happened to the money it makes sense if the lost moved out and started a new operation in sandy shores with it but they didn't explain what happened in tlad
Bro I love videos like this because I never played IV (went from ps2 to ps4 GTA V was my first HD GTA, played the hell outta VC and 3 (didn’t get SA until my teens) I literally didn’t know shit about the GTA3 story, I played like half the story barely paying attention and then for 3 straight years I would just log on, do cheats to get all the guns, and go around rampaging and doing glitches and stuff from RUclips, I didn’t even realize Catalina had betrayed him or like, really realized wtf was going on lol, Claude never talking really made it hard to pay attention, never finished the story lol, Vice City meanwhile, which I had at the same time, I remember most of the characters vaguely and I played most or all of the campaign, wasn’t into 3s story but I enjoyed rampaging in Liberty City more than Vice City lol, always made me sad that the map didn’t include more of Florida, hoping 6’s map includes a version of my home city, I wonder if my house will be in it 🥺
I remember hating the weird 80s blockbuster movie glare that you would get anytime the sun was in frame in Vice City, that was a huge pet peeve of mine lol
We have not seen the last of this homeless man. I have a feeling he will be someone that will be able to purchase arms from. The Rockstar staff is pretty good at adding more lore to certain characters. I also feel like we will get more confirmations on alot of characters fates from GTA4&5.
When ray says don’t respect the waste management business he means teddy don’t have respect for the mafia and feels he don’t have to pay them waste management be code for mobbed up
The way these 3 stories well far more than 3 but the way they intertwined is insane, such a masteful story. Johnny really made out the best woth all that money but bliws it on heroin whoops
The fact that this was a subplot, and not the main plot of the game speaks volumes to the depth of grand theft auto auto 4. It still doesn’t make sense to me that the diamonds ended up in the middle of a park when they were in the back of a dump truck though.

@nicktubara I know I'm 3 months late but honestly Johnny's death is kinda like real life. There are some guys who do love/ simp for women like Ashley who they known their entire lives (childhood love) while also she brings him down to a very low-level because she's unaware of her own behavior/toxicity. Yes johnny would never do drugs not meth of all things but let's not forget that johnny love Ashley very much but couldn't see that the love was toxic/codependent which cause him to eventually or unfortunately do meth. It's like how we hear married couples get a divorce when the couples knew each other since high-school or middle-school. Life is unpredictable in-which you either escape your trap or get enclosed by it.
"she xant speak we got a gag in her mouth!" Lol i swear packie has always been one of my favorite characters in the series hes hilariously cynical.
i love your videos, much love from switzerland ❤
2:11 That's what he said.
Damn this one best stories in the gta series basically having a small movie in a bigger game
Bruh I deadass binged damn near every video, good shit my guy
I started the video and my playback speed wa at 2x , bro I though you were rapping 😂 , after i did 1x then read the subtitles understood what were you speaking
Best storyline in the series, Pulp Fiction style
it’s crazy how it affected all three of them , shows how connected the crime world can be fr
It would’ve been cool if they did one more dlc and introduced the multiple character thing then and make a story where Niko Luis and Johnny have to work together to stay alive or something
34:50 what is the background song
And at 17:06
(In response to both of your comments) The pause menu theme for the Ballad of Gay Tony.
@@DaGenius99thank you
Underrated youtuber
Yeah I always wondered what happened to the money it makes sense if the lost moved out and started a new operation in sandy shores with it but they didn't explain what happened in tlad
27:01 am i tripping or did niko already take out ray wayy before they kidnapped the girl
Let's be honest, those diamonds are cursed. Until homeless guy found them.
the cursed diamonds of death.
A gta 6 return of this diamond madness would be appreciated.
Since jerry kapowitz moved to vice city gta 6 might have something to do with the diamonds
thank god SOMEONE remembers that @@dontbelikeme9165
i love watching your videos man keep it up😄
So the homeless guy is the person who killed niko's mates and got spared,i may not be an ass,but he looks like him😮
Something about Tony reminds me of Robert Downey Jr
my fav youtuber man great video are we doing strengths for Johnny Luis etc?
cant wait for your new videos
Bro I love videos like this because I never played IV (went from ps2 to ps4 GTA V was my first HD GTA, played the hell outta VC and 3 (didn’t get SA until my teens)
I literally didn’t know shit about the GTA3 story, I played like half the story barely paying attention and then for 3 straight years I would just log on, do cheats to get all the guns, and go around rampaging and doing glitches and stuff from RUclips, I didn’t even realize Catalina had betrayed him or like, really realized wtf was going on lol, Claude never talking really made it hard to pay attention, never finished the story lol, Vice City meanwhile, which I had at the same time, I remember most of the characters vaguely and I played most or all of the campaign, wasn’t into 3s story but I enjoyed rampaging in Liberty City more than Vice City lol, always made me sad that the map didn’t include more of Florida, hoping 6’s map includes a version of my home city, I wonder if my house will be in it 🥺
I remember hating the weird 80s blockbuster movie glare that you would get anytime the sun was in frame in Vice City, that was a huge pet peeve of mine lol
We have not seen the last of this homeless man. I have a feeling he will be someone that will be able to purchase arms from. The Rockstar staff is pretty good at adding more lore to certain characters. I also feel like we will get more confirmations on alot of characters fates from GTA4&5.
You make long videos seem like short ones it’s amazing
Amazing storytelling honestly
31:05 lol
The subplot reminds me of snatch
Your videos are dope!! Kero up the good work💯💯💯
This is a beautiful Cinemark universe 💎
This was the biggest side story in the whole game, The Diamond deal was about a good 1/3rd of the game.
Strong feeling we will Come across vercetti throughout the new grand theft
I hope this channel gets Popular. You make good Videos.
When ray says don’t respect the waste management business he means teddy don’t have respect for the mafia and feels he don’t have to pay them waste management be code for mobbed up
But you see how Ashley had Johnny head gone
17:20 Did Luis kill that guy or knock him out?
He knocked him out, and the guy appears again in “Late Checkout” in GTA 4 so that explains it.
Hey please do a series like this on the herion the coke and the other shared storyline I forgot lol
Great video bro
Appreciate the lore video bro! GTA 4 is the best gta
Looks like they took some inspiration from Snatch, which is a great movie by the way.
The way these 3 stories well far more than 3 but the way they intertwined is insane, such a masteful story. Johnny really made out the best woth all that money but bliws it on heroin whoops
This whole story was clearly inspired by the movie snatch, in a good way
This is great do more videos like this it’s awesome
From watching these Im gonna play GTA 4 again
The Diamond deal is my favourite part in this whole game.
Everything about Luis was just mmm
Tbe diamonds and heroin are cursed
You know the game is good when people still make videos about it 16 years later
Niko killed Jim
W vids like always
Do a video over Franklin weakness to Tanisha and Tonia J B’s wife making him drive a truck for a company he owns
Could you do a video on red dead redemption?
Do a video on the heroin story
the deal will be so smoth and johnny will be still alive...it wasn't for luis lopez and gay tony.
Talk slower bro, or louder, but great video, hope to see more gta4 contant from you, keep it up
bro wtff 22:52
Man i love gta 4
same
i love these vids
