SOO FUCKING TRUEE. It is the best story I have ever played. It is so good if you understand what it truly is. Gta 5 had a similar one but only Trevor and a little bit of Michael had the same impact that Niko's story had on me.
You dam right, a immigrate x-military badass who comes over for a piece of the American dream. 💯 the greatest GTA game ever in my opinion story line everything was perfect about this game.
GTA 3 - A Michael Mann film GTA Vice City - A Brian de Palma film GTA San Andreas - A David Ayer / Tony Scott / Spike Lee film GTA 4 - A Martin Scorsese film GTA 5 - A Michael Bay / Taika Watiti / Oliver Stone film
One of the saddest parts in the game (for me) was the final mission for Elizabeta Torres at 1:39:52. Two large drug deals in a row were busted by the cops, several agencies are about to take her down, her friends have left her (and some are even snitching in order to get lesser sentences), her assistant is now in witness protection (Jorge), and not even her childhood friend is hanging out with her (Mallorie). She's all alone waiting to be locked up, knowing that she's facing up to 300 years, when one of her former friends busts in to perform a citizen's arrest and she kills him while on a bender. To me, it was a powerful message regarding the dangers surrounding drugs, as well as Elizabeta's hard life in general. GTA IV: TL&D has more of her background, but what an ending to her freedom.
Lone Wolf : Definitely agree with you on that, I've currently got scheduled videos for the next week that explains the story behind the heroine & cocaine which lead Johnny & Niko to cross paths! I also got another one explaining the diamonds! Very unique storyline
One thing i honestly always prefered with IV over V is the serious tone and atmosphere, dont get me wrong i love V and its a masterpiece but i prefer the gritty and serious tone of IV
I've always preferred IV for the same reasons. V seems like the "family friendly" version of gta. And it's mainly an online game to top it off. Pesos over story.
Ive played every Gta game at release and The older I get the more I realise Niko is the best gta character. Gta 4 is a gem of a game....well all gta games are...but gta 4 had something so special about it.
I dislike that you killed Dwayne instead of that a**hole Playboy X. Dwayne is a good and emotional guy. Why'd you kill him? 😞 That's what I did, I killed Playboy, got his apartment, made Dwayne a bit happy and that made me feel good. I can't believe you killed Dwayne 😢 Edit: I just realised that you did both options 😐
@@ColtonCatron-ch1vp nah playboy pays you for killing dwayne then HE never speaks to you again. If you kill playboy, dwayne becomes your friend. Also replying to a four year old comment is crazy 😂
I love how you made niko look like that free lance russian killer from Behind Enemy Lines, Fun Fact: The free lance Russian in the film Behind Enemy Lines is who niko is based off of.
I think it's because they don't do remasters and that this game came out on the last generation consoles, which don't really deserve remakes yet as they are still considered "new". Gta SA has a better chance than this game. Also, the voice actor for Niko is in bad touches with Rockstar, meaning we wouldn't even have the original voice actor...
I have found out that the voice actor for CJ is also in bad touches with Rockstar for the same reason. He made an entire rant about it on Instagram. I don't even understand Rockstar, mainly just that they treat their voice actors like sh*t
Man this game was my life. It and Battlefield Bad Company 1 (and 2) had the best stories. This game had the best music too! omg Liberty Rock Radio as well.. idk what it is about 2008 games man.. BC and thus were both 2008. BC had the best humour and this was just amazingly planned out. I remember adoring Yusuf Amir. Thanks for 1080p! :)
Came to think about it, the rainy weather helps to set the theme of the game by the characteristics of love broken by committing revengeful acts to avenge the suffered ones, TLAD seems dope for sunrise, dusky weather to help reassemble the brotherhood and TBOGT Sunny weather helps to shape the more glitzy side of LC. Gotta love the juxtaposing themes between the three protagonists endeavours to attempt of just trying to live decent lifes
As I see, too many characters in this game are obsessed about the streets. Reminds me of a whole bunch of people that talk about the streets in real life
Thanks for the cinematic version; it's appreciated and unique. To anyone curious: this version doesn't include the dialog of driving around during missions and all that jazz.
I didnt get far in this game because i had a job and family and things would constantly come up. After watching this video, i see i really missed out on a fantastic story. Im just glad i could atleast watch this.
Gta v had better graphics and gameplay, for sure. But, at the end of the day, the story and soundtrack is what matters. Damn, I wish I was older when I played this bad boy for the first time. Wayyyy to young to understand all of this.
I love it how you made the cutscenes have rain and thunder in it. I used to do the same thing setting this up before starting the mission using the weather cheat.
Still the best story of all GTA series in my opinion.

“We all do dumb things, that’s what makes us human.”
“Could be...”
Greatest words to open to a GTA game.
No GTA had a better character than Niko, imo
Yanky Victor Vance was like Niko as he served in the army as well.
Hated Niko thought he was the worst character in GTA period
@@someguy9471 CJ and Nikko are the best.
No red dead redemption will have a character like Arthur Morgan.
"No GTA had a character like Niko." That's kind of the point of a sequel.
They wont remaster this game because they know this is gonna bury gta 5
Yeah it’s something they can use if GTA ever falls off
*roman steps on roach
“If he paid some rent I wouldn’t care” 😂
Hi
One of my favourite moments ☺️
Lol
13 years later this game still holds up. the story, the characters, the graphics, the open world, the music. one of the all time great games
We all need friends like little jacob. My mans was ride or die throughout the whole game
Awesome friend. Shame I can barely understand what he's saying XD
The realist gta homie throughout the series
All my niggas be like that.
Bombuclot
You don’t have to understand Jacob he understands you and that’s what makes him right or die

This is game is easily my favorite gta, I would love to see an remastered with graphics like rdr2.
I thought they'd do something with it last year when it hit its 10 year anniversary but they ignored it :( shame!
After the GTA Trilogy fiasco....No!
At least an option to play it on PS4/5 😫
@@TheRustyRebel they are disrespectful corporate suits they don’t care about how people feel only what raises stocks and makes money
wont get a remaster but at least we'll get liberty city back with gta 7
This game is truly a masterpiece
What makes nikko so epic is he was actually humble down to earth yet a cold hearted killer but still had affection for those who got close to him
GTA 3 - A Michael Mann film
GTA Vice City - A Brian de Palma film
GTA San Andreas - A David Ayer / Tony Scott / Spike Lee film
GTA 4 - A Martin Scorsese film
GTA 5 - A Michael Bay / Taika Watiti / Oliver Stone film
Love this
I was just telling my friend this is a martin scorcese movie
Scorsese/Tarantino film.
That's why GTA 5 wasn't so great.

I wonder why did they change Jorge’s look and voice in TLAD
This game taught me more about life then I ever expected. Engraved into my soul forever like a bleeder burger.
People get on my nerves when they say Niko has some sort of fighting style of course he does he was in the army
Yeah, but he was a simple war time consprict, which in balkan armies meant you get minimal if any training
@@grzechu9821 yeah but fight in a war long enough you learn a thing or two.
I remember when I was a kid thinking how awesome it was that Niko's English gets progressively better throughout the story.
Yes! so does romans
After he shoots him at 4:08:40 you hear the guy selling hotdogs say "Put this dog in your mouth" lol
I was just gonna comment that, it had me dying
Then 4:09:17 he's back at it with the inappropriate selling
One thing i honestly always prefered with IV over V is the serious tone and atmosphere, dont get me wrong i love V and its a masterpiece but i prefer the gritty and serious tone of IV
It's a new york thing
I've always preferred IV for the same reasons. V seems like the "family friendly" version of gta. And it's mainly an online game to top it off. Pesos over story.
@@niaure6516 Honestly your comment sums it up perfectly
I never liked GTA IV when it first came out but learned to appreciate it as I got older.
Gta 4 missions went to...neighborhood loan sharks, hustlers, crooked law enforcement and finally mafia
Ive played every Gta game at release and The older I get the more I realise Niko is the best gta character. Gta 4 is a gem of a game....well all gta games are...but gta 4 had something so special about it.
Grand Theft Auto 4 along with Episodes From Liberty City as a complete package, is still the best GTA game to date.
18:48 "CHEAT ACTIVATED" :v
1:02:33 That was edited so perfectly. It looks like Niko immediately bailed the truck after realizing it has a bomb. lol
Tyler From Texas oh
Tyler From Texas *EXPLOSIVES? WTF!*
I laughed so hard
nice pfp
Brings back old memories 😭😭
"Oooh mystery man, strange and exotic sailor. What? Did your captain make you pregnant?"
"Screw you"
Best line of dialogue.
I can't even understand little Jacob..
None of my fault, none of my bloodclot fault
Not i problem rasta.
I understood him perfectly, it's just his companion, badman I find hard to understand
Unfriendly Face i like him, 😂👍🏼
Ting ))
Remaster this come on Rockstar
why you need a remaster?! just play the original game! or you too spoiled from all that stupid 4k, high detail, rgb stuff...
Best Story in a Game since 2008
Several people are typing...
But for real don’t disrespect Mafia 2 like that lol
After about 11 years the graphics are still better than most
Maybe not the graphics, but definitely the physics.

Niko Bellic and Roman Bellic will forever be my favorite GTA characters.
Can't forget Little Jacob and Badman
I love how you made niko look like that free lance russian killer from Behind Enemy Lines, Fun Fact: The free lance Russian in the film Behind Enemy Lines is who niko is based off of.
He was also offered the role but he turned it down I don’t know why
Samuel De La Rosa in an interview the actor said that he probably didn’t take it as serious as he should of.
Why won't Rockstar remaster this masterpiece?! 😐

Wtf you talking about
Gta 4 has the best story
As I see, too many characters in this game are obsessed about the streets. Reminds me of a whole bunch of people that talk about the streets in real life
You can really feel west coast (GTA SA/V) and east coast vibes (GTA IV) in GTA games.
Of course Michelle's real name is Karen.
the main thing that had my laughing about watching this was it was non stop raining & the player gets multiple car washes XD hahahaha
2:21:00 Why the LCPD is so incompetent
ECERD some say he is still spinning.
Lmfao
4:08:53 - 4:09:43 this ending man, the dialogues, the scene. this is why GTA IV was so great. Niko Bellic story is so haunting.
Niko bellics the best character ever
19:30
“Mr. Bellic has stepped away can I take a message?”
“No I’m not gay”
1:21:14 And here’s where one of the most tryhard items in GTA V started.
Thanks for the cinematic version; it's appreciated and unique.
To anyone curious: this version doesn't include the dialog of driving around during missions and all that jazz.
I came to NYC because of this game. God bless you Rockstar
But this game depicts nyc as a hellhole
Swole Gamers it is a hell hole
@@MikeLoveThyself but its our hell hole:)

Roman died???😲Noooo And you killed Dwayne??? Bro😔😒You killed all the good people
He took the money game

GTA IV is still my favourite GTA game by far, it just had the best story and characters. The other GTA games are comedy, this was a gritty crime drama
Watching this video was so much easier than playing the whole damn game again while my pile of shame gets bigger. Thank you.
Brucie is such an oddball. His character sticks in my mind over a decade after the first playthrough.
Thank you for releasing this video man! This is my favorite game of all time.
jacky boy does hip hop The story is amazing. The characters had memorable quotes throughout the whole game. Simply amazing game
Saints Row 2 and this GTA are my favourite games in this line of game genre ✌🏼✌🏼
saints row smells
@4:08:40 just after Niko shoots Jimmy a hot dog guy says put this dog in your mouth and its hilarious
Grand theft auto IV was like playing a movie; Grand theft auto 5 has too many main characters
'Hey,stop that smoking!'
Pashol!
Best cutscene
what a game. This was my childhood favorite! Classic.
I just clicked on this to see the typical “GTA IV is better than GTA V” comment.
Ikr I play GTA 4 and I don't have GTA 5 and I'm not making comments about how GTA 4 is better than 5
it is better
GTA 4: Better writing
GTA 5: Better Game
Niko is the best.
"But move your fucking ass pal. Women don't like a chump, you get me"
In the description of the video it states Niko was in a fictious war.. do you know that the war he was in were the Yugoslav wars?
Maybe for he beign serbian is not really shocking what exactly fight he engaged, serbians kind of fighted through all the sides that time
Maybe whit albania
He says later in the game that his brother died in the Bosnian war
This game was the best.
thanks for this dude..helpful when playing this again after a long ass time
Best game ever. Nico looks like the guy who hunted Owen Wilson in movie Behind Enemy lines.
These characters, although being the result of pixels and polygons, feel so alive.
When you see 0:50 you know you have one hell of an adventure in front of you
Best game in the world, thank you for you video💓💓💓, I love you 👑NIKo 👑
37:31 didn't realize Lil Jacob used cocaine until now. Damn, very interesting detail to have a rasta man be a cokehead.
GTA IV and the GTA SA are the kings of GTA
I didnt get far in this game because i had a job and family and things would constantly come up. After watching this video, i see i really missed out on a fantastic story. Im just glad i could atleast watch this.
I loved this storyline it kept me so interested on doing missions
GTA4 deserves a motion picture release.
Seriously i did all the missions to see the hole story and now the story was here ready waiting me to watch it! :///
5:16 “Edge of Seventeen” was the best song in the game.
Dwaynes backup helped me beat the game!
Such nostalgia from playing when I was 9, holy fuck a decade can go by so fast, but i remember playing this game after school.
😀😀
Jimmy dead. Hot dog guy-" put this dog in your mouth"
how tf does niko underrstand jacob
Just replayed in 2024, its now an all time classic
1:20:10-1:22:11 I love how Brucie's girl just politely says good bye to Niko.
Such a Cutie (:
Gta v had better graphics and gameplay, for sure. But, at the end of the day, the story and soundtrack is what matters. Damn, I wish I was older when I played this bad boy for the first time. Wayyyy to young to understand all of this.
Yeah if you need another hint this guy was the runt of the litter in the Mcreary family. 1:48:27
Can't even drink right, lol.
WHY THE HELL IS WITH THE RAIN!?
BMW M3 GTR FTW!
why is it always raining?
Because the game has a depressing/sad atmosphere, Niko’s story is one of sadness and loss. The rain could be a symbol of his past “washing away”.
2:21:00 Officer.exe is unresponsive.
True final boss is a freaking swing set. :P
anyone else watching this because they never had the chance to play GTA IV?
Best foreigner Crim ever in America
The ending was so confusing. Sometimes Roman would be dead then he would show up again.
Challenge: Take a shot everytime Manny says "man"=))
"We can choose the game, but we can't change the rules"
Exceptionally well made game
Is it me or is it always raining?
One of the best games ever
Should have chosen the other ending, it was more depressing.
That's not a good thing
I love it how you made the cutscenes have rain and thunder in it. I used to do the same thing setting this up before starting the mission using the weather cheat.
This and San Andreas are my favorite stories for GTA and believe it or not the new one is also very good. Trevor and Michael are hilarious 😆
