That torture scene is my favourite thing Rockstar has ever done. The camera angles that tell the mood. When Niko is unafraid and in charge the camera and posture of everyone in the scene puts them on Niko's level. But when Faustin walks in and takes control away from Niko, they switch to low angle shots. Pushing the camera down into the floor, making you the player feel small and powerless. Just like how Niko suddenly feels knowing that at any moment, Faustin could shoot him or worse shoot Roman.
The little dolly zoom on Roman's face after Niko says he's his cousin was an especially nice touch. I don't know what happened between this and GTA 5 but so much was lost and isn't looking like it'll ever be found again...
After the things Niko witnessed in the war the only thing left that could scare him is a creature like Eddie Low. Everyone else is just a roadblock for him.
True, everyone he encounters once upon a time could have been normal people, even nice people, Eddie Low was born a monster and died a monster, doing what he did because he loves it
@@mr.tomatohead3709 I disagree. Eddie Low isn’t a monster, he’s just a weak predator. He targeted vulnerable, innocent people and he was way over his head when he attempted to attack Niko. He would have been dead sooner if he was more carefree with the targets.
For some reason reading this comment whilst watching the vid time stamps reminds me of a scene from Trailer Park Boys where Bubbles is trying to intimidate Sam Losco with a pair of Nun chucks, the scene cuts to another 3 seconds later and Sam has Bubbles in a choke hold.
Pegorino was such a joke that even when he was trying to come off as powerful and threatening and important, you knew he was a joke. Any good thing that happened to him, the only reason he was making any progress at all, was because Niko was the one doing the heavy lifting
It’s also funny how he complains in his initial dialogues how everyone looked down on his family because they were immigrants, yet he later is trying to insult Niko for being an immigrant.
If we take the McReary's individual introductions to face value since they are portrayed as being masters of the art, makes sense Gerry would be the bigger problem in that room.
Niko is THE best GTA character ever! Most well written GTA character to this day! I really like the idea of the MC in GTA 6 being a woman. I really hope she is really well written, and the ONLY MC in GTA 6.
Arthur Morgan : "Unappealing is what I do best! 🤷♂" Niko Bellic : "I've never been popular, I don't mean to start now. 🤷♂" I love these lines, they're so funny 🤣
Niko is a war veteran who saw children having their hands cut off from their bodies, and the writers got perfect how a person like that would react to an intimidation attempt..... unimpressed .🤣
One thing that bugged me about this game is the fact that every male character looks the same… pizza faced, Slavic nosed… they all look like they could be Niko’s relatives 😂
i doubt he got any proper training in Serbia/Yugoslavia. He was likely just a conscript given a rifle and sent to kill people that once were his brothers
there's something about Niko pressing the barrel of his gun against Vlad's face just to stop for a second to cover his face from the blood spurt that makes him more badass than any other GTA protag
When I was a kid I always liked Niko because he looked like my Uncle but was Mexican. Short stature but well manners. We lived in a bad part of the city but he was never fazed and carried himself in a weird safe way like Niko. Complety calm and relaxed. He was from Tjanna but in reality my dad says he doesn't know where he's from because his parents put him in a dumpster and left hit to die. The church saved him.
This came on in my reccomended last night when I was high as a kite and started genuinely tweakin because I forgot that Niko and I have the same name [mine is spelled with a C instead of an K, used to be all the talk amongst my friends in middle school]
I'm pissed that the Expensive "Luxury" Store doesn't have 2 color schemed suits just black crappy and it'd be nice to buy more stuff since your left over with so much money after story mode

“so, Niko Bellic, you think it’s ok to kill my employees?”
“if he is an asshole, yes”
*shoots his own employee in the head*
“I agree!”
He did kill the asshole
Ngl that was a legendary moment as a kid
that cut fucking killed me lol

I remembered it but still made me laugh especially because of the hard cut 🤣🤣🤣
The perfect cut
It was such a good cut, that I nearly choked on my chips
I was expecting the usual cutscene but the cut off made it 100x better lol

Seeing the clothes modders put on Niko is better than seeing the hairstyles modders for rdr 2 put on Arthur.
Yeah, those are just terrible 😆🤣

Well eddie low did scare him..
It definitely put him off, but not for very long…
More like creeped/disturbed him.
I made a dedicated video for him bro here:
ruclips.net/video/9O4ocARo4FI/видео.html
He creeped him out didn't scare him.
"Hey man don't be a dick"
The stare he gives at 5:05 really creeps me out
This one and when eddie speaks to him the 2nd time, terrifying looks
Creeped Peg out too. He knew he didn't want the smoke. Not in an enclosed space alone with Niko.
@@Anemoia22I certainly did, thanks friend.
@@Anemoia22 Niko was like “Oh I’ve been waiting for this day” lmao.
Niko was like: “B*tch are you for real? ME and _you_ are going to have a _problem_ ? It won’t be my problem, I can tell you that”
"My friends will track you down. You won't last a moment."
Niko,:"l'll last longer than you will, shithead."
😂
Niko always had a clap back in his back pocket

And Phil too.
It’s also funny how he complains in his initial dialogues how everyone looked down on his family because they were immigrants, yet he later is trying to insult Niko for being an immigrant.
I feel like Gerry's threat is the only one he even took seriously. Not like scared by it, but he knew Gerry was serious and capable.
We should had the option to kill them both in that mission. I tried with a rpg but it failed.
Maybe even some sense of respect, since Niko also has that strong "protect the family" ideal.
If we take the McReary's individual introductions to face value since they are portrayed as being masters of the art, makes sense Gerry would be the bigger problem in that room.
That cut at 3:20 caught me off guard LMFAO

Glad someone noticed that lol

ULP actually used to bore me when I played GTA IV back in the day, but looking back on his cutscenes, he's actually one of the best fixers in the game
“Making idiot moves… - I’m an idiot. I move *exaggerated gesturing* “
@FlymanMS I loved ULP and Niko's dynamic 😭 I feel like GTA 5 tried to re-create that with Dave & Steve but it fell flat imo

Need another game with Niko & Packie
💯 agree
Niko is THE best GTA character ever! Most well written GTA character to this day!

5:52 I think bros the fugitive from rockport
MW antagonist = Niko Bellic confirmed
@ now we know why Cross wanted everyone after him
"These guys don't hold grudges!"
Literally everyone in this game holds grudges.
Pegorino was proven again and again to be an idiot
GTA IV Niko Bellic wearing Yakuza Nishiki Akiyama's suit suits well on him.
1:11 i fuckin love patrick
Derrick: AHAHAHAHAHA
1:13 didn’t even remember this line and this is one of the most SCATHING roasts I’ve ever heard bro 😂😂

This game had absolutely incredible dialogue
1:50 that cut with "Wake Up" Made me laugh so hard i hit my desk with my head
edit: 2:08 he said it so sarcasticly made me laugh again.
One thing that bugged me about this game is the fact that every male character looks the same… pizza faced, Slavic nosed… they all look like they could be Niko’s relatives 😂
I did notice that! Especially with darko

Man the acting in this game is unbelievably good. Everyone went 100%
I see niko spent 10 years in the joint for that suit iykyk
niko bellic with the Patriarch of the Nishikiyama Family typa drip
When you get trained to kill and receive a exclusive military self-defense, you lose the fear of dying...

1:51 niko was dreaming robbing a bank with packie 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Eddie Low is the only person that actually managed to freak Niko out.
Niko became the most wanted????? 5:52
Cut out one of the best parts of Mikhail's intro.
"Shut the fuck up! My fucking wife is watching television..... Good lord. What are you doing?"
“oOh nOo I sHiT mY pAnTs” definitely one of my favorite niko lines ever. The mocking way he said it was too funny.
Nico in this video is dressed like he's about to tell you about the effects that living in a penitentiary for more than 9 years in a row had on you.
I regret skipping all the cutscenes when I was a child…
03:14 THAT CUTOFF
Roman got so scared when Niko said i work for him my cousin Roman 😂😂
Packie : which is why he's been married 3 times already and still won't admit he likes men

“Good Lord, what are you doing” 😂😂
3:22 😭💀
That guy quickdrew fater than the Joker killed Robin in that arkham game, that shit was fucking hilarious
6:43 utopia reference???
Pegorino: "Do it or you and me are gonna have a problem!"
Nico: 👁👄👁
Niko driving the MWM3 is CRAZYYYYY
nothing personal but don't fuck with my family or i'll fuck with yours."

Wish they made a remaster version on ps5. The fighting and dialogue in this game was awesome
there's something about Niko pressing the barrel of his gun against Vlad's face just to stop for a second to cover his face from the blood spurt that makes him more badass than any other GTA protag
When u shoot people up close it's common to get blood and giblets in your eyes and mouth, and he knows it I suppose.
Niko and Packie's friendship is so peak
0:06 ten years in the
Joint
Made
rip to all the flying rats in the city that died so niko could have his fingerless gloves during these cutscenes
Bros outfit is the Rick Pitino suit with hobo gloves 😂
NAH THE RICK PITINO SUIT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is the best GTA hands down
Def is. I could never play it cause poorly optimized on PC. GTA v runs fine but not 4 :(
Bellic is the last Rockstar main character who wouldn't be talked down to.
8:22 Supposed to be a headshot. Glitch lol.
GTA V characters don't have this level of depth that Niko had
Niko is goated
He's definitely the best character in the entire GTA franchise
3:17 lmfao
Andrei, the only man capable of actually killing Niko got killed for being an asshole.
This game of all the GTA games NEEDS a live action series
The whole game's plot could easily be adopted to live television. It'd be like the Sopranos except better.
While San Andreas still will be my favourite GTA, GTA IV had the best story.
Definitely the second best GTA in my opinion🔥👊💯
Remember when games had good writers like this
That BMW M3 GTR was unexpected
5:54

did

Who needs powerful friends when you have Niko?

i always makes niko wear suit so he looks professional and dangerous

Who are you working for?
My cousin, Roman.
There is no way Niko is a better protagonist than Arthur Morgan. He is far too well acted.
I like Niko better personally, feels more realistic and tragic. John Marston is better too. Arthur is excellent though
