What "façade" ? Bernie wasn't lying about being gay or wanting to live a more fancy and comfortable life just because his old soldier mentality pops up here and there, this video is one of the most embellished GTA takes
@@LoverOfManyArtsHe meant his flamboyant girliness, not his sexual preferences. When shit hits the fan in your life, you won't see any girly shit until the real shit dies down for a while. Being that way is a luxury, not a necessity.
When Bernie say "I wouldn't do that" it shows that Florian is still there. Compared to the 15 soldiers, Florian may have not been the most capable but he was still in their unit and survived so he would through both luck and what little skill he had survive and he most likely would have stood his ground. He even insulted Niko went he thought his time had come, showing despite his transition to a more effeminate lifestyle that he still got fire in him and the scars of war.
Yeah the guy who voiced Niko is absolutely right to be upset with rockstar over his pay. Niko is the best voiced character in the GTA universe and should have been paid fairly for his hard work. You can tell the dude poured his soul into Niko and his lines. A legit voice actor.
Florian had a better time moving on from the past than Niko. When his voice changes it brings back the bad memories they’ve seen during war time. Something Florian wants to forget about. Niko is so fixated on revenge it gives him a hard time connecting with his peers
Florian lived such a relaxed life in liberty city that he forgot all his military training and skills, that's the only explanation I have as to why Niko is so skilled that every criminal organization in LC wants him to work for them, while Florian can't even beat up one average joe with a bat that is bullying him, even though both Niko and Florian fought in the kosovo's war and were trained by the same army.
I don’t really think it’s a matter of him forgetting his military training (because you don’t really forget something like that) I think he doesn’t want the façade of Bernie Crane to slip, or he wasn’t that good of a soldier to begin with.
I always thought it was crazy how the developers integrated the internet and you could surf the internet and read articles of what’s going on currently in the game
It never made sense to me why you can't hang with him. Niko and Roman are both on good terms with him, neither are homophobic (which was common back then), they all come from the same place, and he was even at Roman's wedding.
They should remove the penalty of not doing friend activities so often like they finally did in gta 5. There were too much friends already so I guess it's kinda why they didn't let you hang out with Bernie/Florian.
@@Coleslaw9000 yes! When I play GTA, I play for the ability to endlessly cause as much chaos as possible. Not getting a call every 10 minutes from my character's cousin saying, "Let's go bowling."
I appreciate how the game represented Bernie. He was a major stereotype but the story is so depressing and sad. I feel bad for him. I see the struggle he had in a few of my friends lives. Well, back when it first released. Great story and glad you covered this. I enjoy GTA analysis.
No doubt he was genuinely homosexual, but his stereotypical ways could’ve been a front for his trauma. That he chose to be everything that wasn’t the solider back home but still expressed things he couldn’t over in Europe. Either that or I’m thinking too deeply into things. Regardless Bernie is an underrated character, and even pretty well written even with the stereotype. He not only struggles with some trauma but also struggled with being his full self in both countries. Hints why Bernie was so adamant on hanging with Niko even if He was being followed by Russians. “The only guy who knows the real me… both of me.” Has a lot of meaning to it when you think about it. I like you, love how the game represented him, stereotype or not.
Perfect timing one last video before heading to sleep about one of my favourite games maybe that'll get me to relax a little bit from all of the stress & pressure as my final exam of my academic education is just a couple of hours away, thanks for the unintentional stress relief XD
Nikos personally story is peak gta. I remember when i first played the game and when he was talking to his cousin about, the delivery was just enthralling. The rest of the game might as well be one big side quest because i was invested in Nikos revenge journey. Shame gta 6 looks like its probably going to be some marvel movie tier trash, no serious emotional moments and when they do happen some one gots to crack a unfunny joke to ruin it
Florian's Phone Call for Sparring Darko is how I really got to love his character. Just how he tells Nico he's proud of him...I don't know if it was intentional, but it sounds like Nico telling him this brought HIM closure too, but that might just be me reading to much into it
does anyone else wish bernie was a friend you could hang with? I feel like the conversations wouldve been deep esspecially because of the history they share and we could learn even more about florian and nikos past
One detail I like is after the mission "That Special Someone" when Niko calls Bernie to let him know about Darko the call is started "Florian, I think you should know ....." and Bernie does not correct Niko unlike every other time his original name is used. It shows that both of them recognized that Florian was the one that survived the ambush and needed the closure, not the man from Liberty City.
Can you tell me how to mod GTA 4? What site do you use? I remember being a kid and wanting to have modded clothes like this but I only had a Xbox 360 at that time so I wasn't even in the realm of possibility of ever having this stuff but nowadays I have a decent gaming PC and I usually plug it in to do GTA 4 playthroughs but It never even crosses my mind to try modding it now that I actually can lol. But idk where to start. I was under the impression they stopped mod support a while back.
you can use gtaforums for mods. One of best one for GTA 4 is Actual Complete Edition which unite EFLC with GTA 4, including weapons, cars, activities, map changes.
@@MSX98FMDnB I have it on PC already but I always choose to play it on series X because its alot smoother. However if it is possible to install mods it be cool to try it
I’m kinda conservative person but I see positive traits in people like Florian is their empathy towards other people and because they are harmless we one of those to protect em and help to not give up. So f words and these people are two different things
My favorite part about Florian is when he gets either too angry or scared, his façade falls a his masculine side comes out.

@@LoverOfManyArts IT IS A DECISION. THERE IS NO GENE.
Because it is a decision.
Yes and he sounds like Niko it’s a little creepy but it’s cool
not gonna lie, florian is a goat for giving niko a Lamborghini as one of their final missions together.
Brucie gave Niko a Porsche after their last mission.
@@blackpoptart4781 Yusuf gave Luis a Golden Rolls-Royce with a Special Golden UZI after their Last Mission
Who wants a Rolls Royce in GTA?@@akhilnair2019
Oooooooh that's why I had that. I loaded up an old save with Bruce's car and was confused why I had that other one.
When Bernie say "I wouldn't do that" it shows that Florian is still there.

He even insulted Niko went he thought his time had come, showing despite his transition to a more effeminate lifestyle that he still got fire in him and the scars of war.
And if you think about it, war is masculine, maybe his disdain for war after what he witnessed made him turn against his masculinity?
I wish he was a character we could hangout with. Dialogues between him and Niko would be priceless.
"Why are you geh?"
"Who say I'm gai?"
niko in that gucci jacket is cursed 💀
Niko keeps it looking clean tho 💀👌
niko yelling at Ray is some of the best acting i’ve seen in a video game in my opinion.

Niko’s time being a career criminal in Europe also helped hone his skills
I don’t really think it’s a matter of him forgetting his military training (because you don’t really forget something like that) I think he doesn’t want the façade of Bernie Crane to slip, or he wasn’t that good of a soldier to begin with.
Dawg he's a life style coach he doesn't need no fucking combat skill bro
@@dingdong896 he used to be a soldier like niko though
I always thought it was crazy how the developers integrated the internet and you could surf the internet and read articles of what’s going on currently in the game
Bro wtf?! You can kill Talbot before going to deal with Bernie? That’s crazy I never knew that was an option.
Ikr? Had no idea!
I’d rather not that cold delivery on I needed to warm up doesn’t sound like Niko to me
I never noticed how he switches his voice when he thinks about what happened
Seeing how he is now makes me wonder how he was during the war. I should have hanged out with him more when I played this game.
I don't think you can hangout with him like other friends in the game
@@TheOnlyTyNewmYeah. I couldn’t hang with him either.
Crazy how we don’t consider that Florian is just as dangerous as Niko
"I needed to warm up, let's go" 😆
I didnt even know that you could get that dialouge. Lol
@@jamesmata2945 swear i never pay brah no mind after arriving
They should've kept that final phone call in the game and made Florian, (Bernie) a friend Niko could initiate hangouts with.
Change my mind.
I wont change ur mind
It never made sense to me why you can't hang with him. Niko and Roman are both on good terms with him, neither are homophobic (which was common back then), they all come from the same place, and he was even at Roman's wedding.

You definitely have to do Little Jacob next!
When florian uses his real more masculine voice he sounds very similar to niko actually
Bernie was hilarious ngl
Bernie reminded me of reni from vice city stories 😂
@SupportGamin2024 another hilarious character lmao. They work well off the serious protagonists
Its amazing how you can understand and not understand Jacob at the same time
Your documenting on our favorite games exploits how great the story and characters are immensely.
14:11 noo way Florian is the first person to use the phrase “I’m cooked” before it became popular😭😭😭

Im glad to see some analysis on Florian, he usually get written off so fast.
why is my man niko gucci'd down from head to toe
never saw anybody do video on this character good work
Jeez Niko you didn't have kill Talbot 🤣
Fr I didn't even know that was an option. Feel bad for Talbot lmao
Really cool that R* put that in the game, though, including the voice lines.
even crazier because you dont even kill florian
@@cgigammez5749 but he didn't betray Niko or the others back then

You should make a video on Niko's past with all the dialog he has with everyone
Glad you back
