Legend has it that the empty box contained a secret string that opens the secret compartment containing an embarrassing snapshot of Donald Love at the morgue party
There is a Russian video about it made by Sovenok where he explained Love's disappearance in simple words. If you aren't afraid of some Russian slang, you can try using autosubtitles, but in general, Donald was involved in some sort of a deal with Colombian Cartel, while Claude was pursuing all who support this Cartel. That meant that Claude will figure out Donald's deals with this gang. Nobody wants to mess with Claude, so he escaped.
@ImYourPapi my theory is that, during the chase btw claude and lcpd, donald and oriental man tried to leave liberty city in francis intl airport, but colombians spotted and killed both of them with m16.

It's strange how goofy Donald Love was in vice city and liberty city stories and then in gta 3 he just completely changed...... I think maybe because of those food he ate and maybe because he ate Avery Carrington's whole body maybe he changed because of that
Maybe it's a cannibalistic ritual. A way of conquering those that came before him. "Get me his heart, I want to eat his soul." - Obeng, The Cannibal King, Shank 2.
Donald's Love disappearance is so earie and creepy. He's always been a mysterious and messed up character so it really opens up a lot of possibilities what happened to him. Also this fits so well with GTA 3's atmosphere (the original, not the so called "definitive edition").
Hell yeah this shit about Donald Love vanished really creeped me tf out seriously 😳😳😳😳😳 my fucking hairs on my neck standing up!!! Like he just fckn disappeared without a trace!!!
In GTA3, Claude had an alternate skin/cloth color that came with a moustache as well, which resembled Miguel. Considering the Yakuza blamed Miguel for killing Kenji, we can take to account that Claude must have changed his appearance to look like his former "friend" to get him framed for the murder. Imo, if GTA 3 had a total remake, similar to GTA 4's, not only the objectives would have been a bit more specific but it would give some sense how and where the Yakuza got the claim to pin Miguel as an assassin. Then again, the DE is what we got, so... This will be possible after 2 decades or just never.
15:36 - it is well known to all GTA players that Claude is a very mysterious and, above all, dangerous character, the type of man who should not be messed with or disrespected at the risk of having a very bad backlash (see Salvatore Leone or Kenji). People who proudly and confidently say that he has no personality - often the same people who never played the first GTA games or who discovered the saga with GTA 5 (lol) and who, therefore, allow themselves to say that the first GTA games are bad/suck because they’re “old” - show their ignorance and how much they never took the time to observe him, to look at him. Claude is a very mysterious, feared, dangerous hitman - I’ve said it before and will continue to say it for the rest of my life, the fact that he doesn’t talk adds an even darker side to his story, to him. He doesn’t show (or very little) his emotions, he has a personality (just look at the way he greets Kenji, by bowing, or the way he stands when he’s with Donald Love). And at 15:36, we see Claude’s face : people complain that he’s sad and no more the dangerous and serious hitman we knew in the original game, but I think they’re wrong - just look at him carefully, he’s not sad but even _more_ serious and dangerous than in the original game from 2001. He’s even _more_ dangerous. And that’s what I really, really like and admire about the Definitive Edition of GTA 3 : Claude is even more mysterious, serious _and_ dangerous than in the original game. 24:14 - what I really like about the Definitive Edition of GTA 3 is that Catalina, for some reason, looks like Angelina Jolie lmfao
Love Media also owns Chatterbox FM, Flashback 95.6, and Double Clef FM, along with the Dog Food company. Yes, the same Dog Food company that Marty Chonks operates and uses as a front for his murders until some debts catch up with him. Donald Love basically echoed the words of Avery Carrington in the intro cutscene for Two Bit Hit in Vice City. Two Bit Hit and Waka-Gashira Wipeout are very similar, provoking a gang war while disguised as a rival gang member by whacking an important head of the gang. TBH, wasting the Haitian Lieutenant while Tommy is dressed as a Cuban member. WGW, wasting Kenji while inside the Cartel Cruiser. Only difference is that Tommy is eventually friendly with the Cubans, and Claude is hostile with the Colombian Cartel. Claude worked for both the Colombians and the Yakuza before GTA 3 until betrayed by Catalina, and from Staunton Island to the end while having his betrayal go undetected by Asuka. Tommy worked with the Haitians and the Cubans at the same time, but Poulet brainwashed him with potions in tea while Tommy works with Umberto who was like "You killed Teal? Big cojones, come work for me!". Poulet tells Tommy to stay away from Little Haiti after her missions, while Umberto commended Tommy for his work with the Cubans.
How was Asuka never able to know kenji was assassinated? And love media appears to be a business conglomerate, and they own a factory with a now deceased manager Oh, and by the way, I like it when people like you give us facts :D
@@NepuSoggyMango Asuka never knew because she was too busy taking everything out on Miguel I think his name which is Catalina’s henchmen but anyway I believe all she knew was the hit was done in a columbian car so she had an guilty by association mindset which took claude completely out of the suspect list
I'm surprised that Donald actually acts more calm and mature in GTA III than he is in GTA Liberty City Stories (even his voice changed that much) and Donald Love successfully learned everything that he has done from his mentor Avery (even though it's a gang wars between two most dangerous groups either in Vice City or Liberty City)
Also for those of you who missed it, the radio DJ's name is a joke: Say Mike Hunt out loud but, quietly and not in polite company. Rumor has it he has a friend named Mike Hawk.
Coming back to this game years later, I wonder if the empty wooden box was meant as a nod to Hellraiser’s Lament Configuration and related horror mythos. It sets up Love as a depraved, wealthy fetishist, and the package as a small foreign artifact of great value, which may need some ancient knowledge to “unlock”… “In these days of moral hypocrisy certain valuable commodities can be hard to import.”
Watching this again, Catalina and the Cartel aren't sure what the object actually is (which excludes more obvious smuggled valuables), and the Old Oriental Gentleman is needed to authenticate and presumably activate it. It's also implied that Love vanishes into thin air after opening it, the typical fate of those who summon Pinhead by unlocking his puzzle box (which in that lore is actually sought out by characters who've gotten bored with all earthly depravities). Rockstar in 2009: "No one is quite sure what happened to Donald Love. He certainly crossed a few boundaries and was trying to find a way back to normality. Whether or not he managed this, and what happened to the elderly Asian gentleman are matters we cannot speculate on".
Just think about it Claude is just a criminal that is working for him and he’s getting paid a lot of money to do Love’s work, if Claude knew what was inside the package and realised it had even more value, Love would be scared that Claude would betray him and keep it
Also think about it, Claude doesn’t care about friends or people he knows we all know that once someone offers him more money or a better opportunity than another person he’s working with he has no problem betraying them look what he did to Salvatore and to Kenji so my guess is Love was scared and paranoid that someone would pay Claude amounts of money to retrieve the package, therefor killing Donald.
@@discoverdylan3660 Salvatore this is different this guy has tried to kill him, i think he will never betray the leon's boss if the trap was never happen as the mafia family is powerful, she has the mayor in their hand unlike Kendji who can't pay like Donald. Yes Claude doesnt care about the relationship but if you have the imunity you could be spare by him
Claude would be very similar to the protagionist in Saints Row where he doesn't talk at all except for a couple of cutscenes in the first game. Claude, isn't talking at all so he would be very shy, keeps his mouth shut and does what he's told. Catalina could of manipulated him into doing these things aswell which could of made him not talk.
I don't feel like claude killed kenji because he was mad at him, he got screamed by ray and yet he didn't kill him, he most likely killed kenji because of money and that's terrifying because you'll never know if claude would kill you because someone paid him alot of money
Different circumstances. Ray screams because he's justifiably paranoid and nervous and in a pretty bad spot overall (both circumstancially and literally). Kenji initially played nice only to show his true colours in a far more biting and threatening manner. His attitude was a lot more derogatory and insulting.
40:10 Nope the military is disabled during this mission but don't even try to get the van resprayed as it will trigger the military to chase you with the cruel tanks.
When I escort the armored car, driven by the old guy, I always use the tank (I’m able to unlock and use it). Makes the mission a lot easier, but I have to ditch it near the end because it is slow going uphill and the cops always interfere to arrest me when I blow up the last two Cartel Cruisers. I just run behind the Securicar and shoot the cartel gang member on the corner who’s armed with the AK-47, watch the old guy drive into the garage, and done! As for distracting the authorities, I just zip around the airport runways and tarmacs.
You know, I never really put two and two together about that detail with Claude mimicking who he talks to. Good job pointing that out. It really ties in well with the whole "you're playing a brutal psychopath" thing, too. And further solidifies that he's the most psychopathic GTA protagonist imo.
Just to say something about a mechanic in this game, you don't actually need to complete paramedic in order to have infinite sprint, one thing about the 3D GTAs except for San Andreas is that if you hold the sprint button you'll get tired, but if you keep taping it instead, you'll be able to sprint infinitly.
40:34 Honestly The Best Part Of The Video For Me This Is Why I Like The Professional If Not For This Awesome Strategy I Would Not Of Finished Gta 3 Today
It was six stars for six packages, and you weren't so cheap while assassinating kenji, in speedrun strats people just go 1 floor below kenji and shoot a rocket straight at the ceiling underneath him killing him in the process
The van got caught on the corner for me and its damage looked almost full, but I was able to push it in same as you. I was going to scream if I had to redo that awful mission
The convoy glitch also happened to me in the original game. I just waited and after about 20 minutes the driver stopped steering left into the wall and made a U-turn instead.
Hint for Waka Gashira Wipeout: Use the Rocket Launcher (if you have it) under Kenji on the second floor of the car park. He and the cars around him explode, making it much easier to complete the mission.
What's funny is that I just came up the carpark the opposite side of the ramp, charged at Kenji with the cartel cruiser, squished him, then just barreled towards and off the ramp. I didn't put much thought into this mission.
I haven't played this remastered version and I don't want to, but I saw videos of it and it seems that this glitch at the end of the Escort Service mission always happens on the remaster, while on the original it was something that could happen but mostly it did not happen, every single video of people that I've seem completing this mission completed it in a glitchy way and not in the normal way.
This is my theory on what was in Donald Love's package and why he disappeared. So for anyone who watched the SA playthroughs or has ever played SA. You'd know that in a couple missions the Truth has you attack the US Military. In the mission where CJ raids the base the announcer in the base mentions aliens, and in the train mission CJ steals what appears to be alien goo. So aliens are confirmed to be real in the 3D Trilogy. Alien tech would make sense, considering how many stwrs you get in the original just for picking up the decoy packages. (The government wants that alien tech) In the definitive edition Claude even gets a 6 star wanted level in the other mission dealing owth the package (They really want that tech) How would Donald get alien tech you may ask? He's weird so he may know The Truth and he's rich so he probably just bribed someone at the army base to steal the tech for him. Donald also says something along the lines of "When you have a hot enough Commodity, the world will want to take it from you even if they have no idea of its true value." Love obviously wants to sell this item. So now that we know what was in the package, why does he disappear? I have a few theories on why he disappears. 1. The government catches him and dissapears him for taking their secret alien tech. 2. The alien tech teleports him to another planet or dimension. 3. Donald leaves and gets a new identity and uses his money to reverse engineer the alien tech into the commodity he wanted. In this theory I believe Donald Love uses the tech to invent the Smartphone in the GTA Universe. 4. The Alien Tech teleports him into the HD universe and Donald Love uses the Tech to invent the Oppressor Flying Bike. These are my theories on what was in the package and what happened to Donald Love
That really makes no sense because GTA III came out years prior to GTA San Andreas, it had none of the established plot that the games after it had. The game is also set in a somewhat realistic world as well, there is barely any of the goofy stuff from the future games, so chances that the writers back in 2001 thought that the package contained some sort of alien technology is completely off the table because that's not what the story is about. Considering how much of a messed up person Donald Love is and how the later games actually did shape him, it's very likely that the package contained some form of human meat. He's a cannibal after all, and since his description of the package is "valuable commodity that is hard to import due to certain "moral hypocrisies" of current days", it's very likely that's what it is. There are also no hints in any other games about it being something else, at least definitely none that would say that it's alien technology. The connection with The Truth and the weird business he had going on in San Andreas really is just far-fetched, but I'd say that it at least makes for a decent fan-canon.
Merry Xmas to you professional and I hope you have a lovely new year, I’ve been really busy recently but I will be trying to watch more of you again, I promise
The unknown package was probably Marcel Wallace's package from Pulp Fiction. 34:43 Professional is now the modern day Smoke: All you got to do is reverse and go in here, dude.
Claude didn’t kill kenji because he disrespected him. Ray also keeps a little attitude towards Claude, but he doesn’t kill him. Plus if it was personal for Claude, he would be going against the entire yakuza in Liberty, however he still works with Asuka even though it was him who killed her brother It was simply a “business opportunity” and the resources and connections Donald Love has will help Claude locate Catalina
Kenji certainly didn't do himself any favours acting the way he did. But even if it was personal, there would be no reason to kill Asuka. She was Claude's main ally and employer and the yakuza would be a useful tool against the colombian cartel. Kenji proved to be a bitch and irrelevant for Claude's goals when Asuka alone could lead the faction.
I think a key reason why Claude continues working for Donald is because he is his most rich contact, apart from Salvatore. Many GTA protagonists betray others, whether it be for money, power, or revenge. Sometimes they fake their loyalties or they betray someone spontaneously. Carl’s work for the Loco Syndicate is such an example of superficial loyalty. He basically manipulated Mendez, Jizzy and Toreno to get a measure of revenge at Smoke and reduce drug flow into Los Santos. Or Niko’s killing of Ray Boccino. Niko betrayed and killed Ray for money. Tommy also killed Ricardo Diaz to assume control of his empire, which, like Carl’s betrayal was for revenge but Tommy was also power hungry. Claude may have taken Kenji’s words with anger, but Ray also yelled at him. My opinion? Claude accepted his failure to kill Leon, because Leon’s case was a screwup he didn’t prevent. Whereas his failure to dissuade the Colombians from allying with the Yardies wasn’t his fault.
Niko Bellic didn't really betray Ray Boccino, though? It's been pretty clear that both didn't like each other, Ray didn't trust Niko and neither did Niko trust him. The Ray killing was organized by his own mafia boss, Pegorino. Niko was nothing but an assassin in that act, a hired gun. The organizer of the assassination was the one who wanted the victim dead, so it really was Pegorino who betrayed Ray. Niko gets no blame in that part because he really was just like a tool that was used to send a message. This same logic was used in the very same game as well, when Niko killed Petrovic's son on the orders from Mikhail Faustin. The game explicitly had Dimitri Rascalov stating that Niko wasn't blamed for it because he was a hired gun, that's why all of the heat was coming strictly to Faustin.
@@superplayerex2431 I think Niko did betray Ray. It’s the exact same thing as saying that Claude didn’t betray Kenji because he was ordered to do so. Ray considered Niko a valuable asset, trusted him over Johnny’s word, and also helped him plenty. Niko was the means to Ray’s demise, and while Niko shows genuine remorse for his actions, he still did so without hesitation. Niko betraying other people doesn’t make him unlikeable, the difference is why he does what he does. Dimitri for example enjoys betraying others, Claude betrayed others for money and Niko showed genuine remorse for pretty much every act of betrayal he did. Faustin himself for example deems Niko’s actions against him a betrayal. Even if Niko was a hired gun he still had Faustin’s respect and after being betrayed by Dimitri Niko is remorseful and realised he made a mistake betraying Mikhail because he was right about Dimitri.
@@crisistian_ Actually Cortez was the one to firmly suspect Diaz’ guilt for ambushing the deal. Ken never said anything about Diaz ambushing the deal. Lance asked around town and learned that Diaz “obviously” ambushed the deal but had no proof. Or even if Tommy believed Lance’s claim, he wanted to learn more about the drug empire Diaz had.
My hunch about the old oriental gentleman is that he’s a stock manipulator who actually can make a client state rich. And apparently the cartel wanted the old man to make them more legitimate and Donald wants to get the old man to make himself more influential. Maybe he’s from the Zaibatsu corporation or Arasaka Corporation from Japan.
@TheProfessional What you were saying about Donald Love being a cannibal and eating people makes me think that he must of been quite a sick and disturbing individual indeed.
There is a Russian video about it made by Sovenok where he explained Love's disappearance in simple words. If you aren't afraid of some Russian slang, you can try using autosubtitles, but in general, Donald was involved in some sort of a deal with Colombian Cartel, while Claude was pursuing all who support this Cartel. That meant that Claude will figure out Donald's deals with this gang. Nobody wants to mess with Claude, so he escaped.
I love the ambiguity of Donald love's ending. It leaves it up to the player and doesn't Spoon feed you like most games do now with stupid exposition dumps.
The comments are pretty interesting. Not sure if you'll see this comment Pro, but I always thought it was really clear what happened to Donald Love. It seems like a reference to Hellraiser and the lament configuration which is usually seen being bought from an Asian gentleman by people with more extreme tastes. Donald Love definitely fits the type of person who would seek to buy the box.
It would’ve been nice that in GTA Liberty City stories there would be minor hints but of what’s in the package like what if we tuned to the talk radio and they mentioned a massive manhunt for a mysterious man who stolen something is believed to be in his late 60s to early 70s
Donald Love's package is either a valuable asset or something blackmailable. It is definately worth much more than gold. It could be a huge diamond or real estate contracts, but an Asian artefact is also possible.
Maybe Tommy Vercetti found out that Donald Love was responsible for Avery’s death in the events of Liberty City Stories in 1998. Also in the definitive edition Professional he looks like he aged rapidly. The original graphics weren’t perfect but yet Love looks a bit more youthful while being more mature and calculating contrasting to LCS Donald Love who looks like a flamboyant being
Great gameplay and nice explanation about the game and characters, but I can't believe that Donald Love has mysteriously disappeared. At least that "A Drop in the Ocean" mission is a bit tolerable seeing as you attain a four star wanted level after you collected all six packages from the plane in the definitive edition of GTA 3, while you attain a five star wanted level in the original version of the game when you do the same thing. So I guess that's a plus.
Wait- why is there the sfx of Donald Love still running throughout the first mission cutscene lol? wow. This version just keeps on being problematic in it's issues huh.
I have been playing through GTA 3: The Definitive Edition for the past couple of days and I’ve recently completed the mission Escort Service. During said mission, there were no NPC drivers in the tunnel and the truck turned into the destination where is was supposed to so hopefully, that means that in the Definitive Edition, they’ve fixed these major problems which occurred with this mission in the past. This is something that needed fixed big time because this mission is hard and time-consuming enough as it is.

Claude is actually one of the only true psychopaths in GTA.
Different circumstances. Ray screams because he's justifiably paranoid and nervous and in a pretty bad spot overall (both circumstancially and literally). Kenji initially played nice only to show his true colours in a far more biting and threatening manner. His attitude was a lot more derogatory and insulting.
@@uruloki2758 and also because his partner survived Claudes attack. So he can be angry, because Claude messed up.
I feel sorry for Kenji.
40:10 Nope the military is disabled during this mission but don't even try to get the van resprayed as it will trigger the military to chase you with the cruel tanks.
When I escort the armored car, driven by the old guy, I always use the tank (I’m able to unlock and use it). Makes the mission a lot easier, but I have to ditch it near the end because it is slow going uphill and the cops always interfere to arrest me when I blow up the last two Cartel Cruisers. I just run behind the Securicar and shoot the cartel gang member on the corner who’s armed with the AK-47, watch the old guy drive into the garage, and done! As for distracting the authorities, I just zip around the airport runways and tarmacs.
How did you unlock the tank?
Emergency vehicle crane man if u %100 the game after unlocking the shore*shide* vale u can complete the list and use the tank whenever u want
Nice.
34:20 Bro the same thing happened to me. I was so mad. This actually never happened to me in the original version.
You know, I never really put two and two together about that detail with Claude mimicking who he talks to. Good job pointing that out. It really ties in well with the whole "you're playing a brutal psychopath" thing, too. And further solidifies that he's the most psychopathic GTA protagonist imo.
25:25 Why the Yakuza have a Diablo symbol on their back?
Just to say something about a mechanic in this game, you don't actually need to complete paramedic in order to have infinite sprint, one thing about the 3D GTAs except for San Andreas is that if you hold the sprint button you'll get tired, but if you keep taping it instead, you'll be able to sprint infinitly.
40:34 Honestly The Best Part Of The Video For Me This Is Why I Like The Professional If Not For This Awesome Strategy I Would Not Of Finished Gta 3 Today
38:26
Ok, I don't remember seeing a metal barrier walking down the street in the original.
30:39 same bro. 20 years later still rocks.
25:04 Claude in the original looked at Miguel than he goes away.
They did actually reduce the wanted level I checked and they did the original had five stars this one has four
Yes, lore on Donald Love please! Been wanting it since you first mentioned it during your playthrough of the Classic version!
5:29 jeez that aged well.....
I have the feeling that Donald Love has something to do with COVID-19
Plot twist:Donald love got transported to the HD universe and will show up in GTA 6
What is this some MCU shit?
It was six stars for six packages, and you weren't so cheap while assassinating kenji, in speedrun strats people just go 1 floor below kenji and shoot a rocket straight at the ceiling underneath him killing him in the process
Man, I love these GTA videos so much. Thanks for putting these series together. Also, I've gotta say it -- it's SHORE-SIDE VALE! :)
Professional: your going the wrong way!
Old oriented gentleman: I'm 62 years old damn it!
😂😂😭
lord rockstar didn’t even bother to reprogram that route😭
Donald Love generally pays quite well, but his missions are brutal.
The van got caught on the corner for me and its damage looked almost full, but I was able to push it in same as you. I was going to scream if I had to redo that awful mission
If you do Donald Love's missions before Kenji's missions you can skip the Kenji missions
Why would you want to do that? Thats less money and you wouldn't get 100% completion.
All you had to do was enter in the damn garage, Oriental Gentleman!
You could wait with King Courteney's missions to the end, and then you wouldn't have any problems in front of the gun shop.
Donald love looks older because of all the human flesh he eats
Wow you actually managed to salvage the mission and get him going the right way. When I tried it the van blew up and I had to start all over.....
Donald love went into witness protection....
The convoy glitch also happened to me in the original game. I just waited and after about 20 minutes the driver stopped steering left into the wall and made a U-turn instead.
Hint for Waka Gashira Wipeout: Use the Rocket Launcher (if you have it) under Kenji on the second floor of the car park. He and the cars around him explode, making it much easier to complete the mission.
Speedrun strats
Dont you have to stay in the car for that mission tho
@@mrwaffles114 if they don't see you, you can get out of the Cartel Cruiser
@@mrwaffles114 As long as you're not on the floor where Kenji and his guys are standing, you can get out of the car.
What's funny is that I just came up the carpark the opposite side of the ramp, charged at Kenji with the cartel cruiser, squished him, then just barreled towards and off the ramp. I didn't put much thought into this mission.
I haven't played this remastered version and I don't want to, but I saw videos of it and it seems that this glitch at the end of the Escort Service mission always happens on the remaster, while on the original it was something that could happen but mostly it did not happen, every single video of people that I've seem completing this mission completed it in a glitchy way and not in the normal way.
Lol Why does donald love look like buzz lightyear from toy story
Charity against hunger. Does missions for cannibal. Interesting.
This is my theory on what was in Donald Love's package and why he disappeared.
So for anyone who watched the SA playthroughs or has ever played SA. You'd know that in a couple missions the Truth has you attack the US Military. In the mission where CJ raids the base the announcer in the base mentions aliens, and in the train mission CJ steals what appears to be alien goo. So aliens are confirmed to be real in the 3D Trilogy.
Alien tech would make sense, considering how many stwrs you get in the original just for picking up the decoy packages.
(The government wants that alien tech)
In the definitive edition Claude even gets a 6 star wanted level in the other mission dealing owth the package
(They really want that tech)
How would Donald get alien tech you may ask? He's weird so he may know The Truth and he's rich so he probably just bribed someone at the army base to steal the tech for him.
Donald also says something along the lines of
"When you have a hot enough Commodity, the world will want to take it from you even if they have no idea of its true value."
Love obviously wants to sell this item. So now that we know what was in the package, why does he disappear?
I have a few theories on why he disappears.
1. The government catches him and dissapears him for taking their secret alien tech.
2. The alien tech teleports him to another planet or dimension.
3. Donald leaves and gets a new identity and uses his money to reverse engineer the alien tech into the commodity he wanted. In this theory I believe Donald Love uses the tech to invent the Smartphone in the GTA Universe.
4. The Alien Tech teleports him into the HD universe and Donald Love uses the Tech to invent the Oppressor Flying Bike.
These are my theories on what was in the package and what happened to Donald Love
That really makes no sense because GTA III came out years prior to GTA San Andreas, it had none of the established plot that the games after it had. The game is also set in a somewhat realistic world as well, there is barely any of the goofy stuff from the future games, so chances that the writers back in 2001 thought that the package contained some sort of alien technology is completely off the table because that's not what the story is about.
Considering how much of a messed up person Donald Love is and how the later games actually did shape him, it's very likely that the package contained some form of human meat. He's a cannibal after all, and since his description of the package is "valuable commodity that is hard to import due to certain "moral hypocrisies" of current days", it's very likely that's what it is. There are also no hints in any other games about it being something else, at least definitely none that would say that it's alien technology. The connection with The Truth and the weird business he had going on in San Andreas really is just far-fetched, but I'd say that it at least makes for a decent fan-canon.
wow the cops in 3d are really crazy then the hd cops 13:51
Escort Service is a joke, the driver of the armoured truck is the same 65 yr old bastard from the earlier missions, what the hell Rockstar
Thanks pro for filling me in on the story. Lol I always got confused on some things lol
Merry Xmas to you professional and I hope you have a lovely new year, I’ve been really busy recently but I will be trying to watch more of you again, I promise
Loved it when you called Donald Love cheap lol
The unknown package was probably Marcel Wallace's package from Pulp Fiction.
34:43 Professional is now the modern day Smoke: All you got to do is reverse and go in here, dude.
Claude didn’t kill kenji because he disrespected him. Ray also keeps a little attitude towards Claude, but he doesn’t kill him. Plus if it was personal for Claude, he would be going against the entire yakuza in Liberty, however he still works with Asuka even though it was him who killed her brother
It was simply a “business opportunity” and the resources and connections Donald Love has will help Claude locate Catalina
Kenji certainly didn't do himself any favours acting the way he did. But even if it was personal, there would be no reason to kill Asuka. She was Claude's main ally and employer and the yakuza would be a useful tool against the colombian cartel. Kenji proved to be a bitch and irrelevant for Claude's goals when Asuka alone could lead the faction.
36:20 this glitch alone is worse than 20+ glitches in San Andreas
True.
YES! Finally a long gta 3 video!
28:44
The explosion synced up so well to that music drop.
I think a key reason why Claude continues working for Donald is because he is his most rich contact, apart from Salvatore. Many GTA protagonists betray others, whether it be for money, power, or revenge. Sometimes they fake their loyalties or they betray someone spontaneously. Carl’s work for the Loco Syndicate is such an example of superficial loyalty. He basically manipulated Mendez, Jizzy and Toreno to get a measure of revenge at Smoke and reduce drug flow into Los Santos. Or Niko’s killing of Ray Boccino. Niko betrayed and killed Ray for money. Tommy also killed Ricardo Diaz to assume control of his empire, which, like Carl’s betrayal was for revenge but Tommy was also power hungry. Claude may have taken Kenji’s words with anger, but Ray also yelled at him. My opinion? Claude accepted his failure to kill Leon, because Leon’s case was a screwup he didn’t prevent. Whereas his failure to dissuade the Colombians from allying with the Yardies wasn’t his fault.
Claude is protagonist version of Dimitri Rascalov.
Niko Bellic didn't really betray Ray Boccino, though? It's been pretty clear that both didn't like each other, Ray didn't trust Niko and neither did Niko trust him. The Ray killing was organized by his own mafia boss, Pegorino. Niko was nothing but an assassin in that act, a hired gun. The organizer of the assassination was the one who wanted the victim dead, so it really was Pegorino who betrayed Ray. Niko gets no blame in that part because he really was just like a tool that was used to send a message.
This same logic was used in the very same game as well, when Niko killed Petrovic's son on the orders from Mikhail Faustin. The game explicitly had Dimitri Rascalov stating that Niko wasn't blamed for it because he was a hired gun, that's why all of the heat was coming strictly to Faustin.
@@superplayerex2431 I think Niko did betray Ray. It’s the exact same thing as saying that Claude didn’t betray Kenji because he was ordered to do so. Ray considered Niko a valuable asset, trusted him over Johnny’s word, and also helped him plenty. Niko was the means to Ray’s demise, and while Niko shows genuine remorse for his actions, he still did so without hesitation. Niko betraying other people doesn’t make him unlikeable, the difference is why he does what he does. Dimitri for example enjoys betraying others, Claude betrayed others for money and Niko showed genuine remorse for pretty much every act of betrayal he did. Faustin himself for example deems Niko’s actions against him a betrayal. Even if Niko was a hired gun he still had Faustin’s respect and after being betrayed by Dimitri Niko is remorseful and realised he made a mistake betraying Mikhail because he was right about Dimitri.
Tommy killed Diaz because Ken Rosenberg discovered he was the one who was dealing with Sonny, so he stole his business
@@crisistian_ Actually Cortez was the one to firmly suspect Diaz’ guilt for ambushing the deal. Ken never said anything about Diaz ambushing the deal. Lance asked around town and learned that Diaz “obviously” ambushed the deal but had no proof. Or even if Tommy believed Lance’s claim, he wanted to learn more about the drug empire Diaz had.
43:35 I wish we could have the "Loves hurt" mission instead of this
My hunch about the old oriental gentleman is that he’s a stock manipulator who actually can make a client state rich. And apparently the cartel wanted the old man to make them more legitimate and Donald wants to get the old man to make himself more influential. Maybe he’s from the Zaibatsu corporation or Arasaka Corporation from Japan.
@TheProfessional What you were saying about Donald Love being a cannibal and eating people makes me think that he must of been quite a sick and disturbing individual indeed.
There is a Russian video about it made by Sovenok where he explained Love's disappearance in simple words. If you aren't afraid of some Russian slang, you can try using autosubtitles, but in general, Donald was involved in some sort of a deal with Colombian Cartel, while Claude was pursuing all who support this Cartel. That meant that Claude will figure out Donald's deals with this gang. Nobody wants to mess with Claude, so he escaped.
That was some of the most funniest s*** I've ever seen that was hilarious
I love this dudes content and all but with all due respect when he says shore*shide* vale I laugh
We still don't know what has happened to him to this day. lol Also, it would be awesome if you did a GTA 2 walkthough.
Well, at least the m16 doesn't shoot like a minigun anymore
I love the ambiguity of Donald love's ending. It leaves it up to the player and doesn't Spoon feed you like most games do now with stupid exposition dumps.
The comments are pretty interesting. Not sure if you'll see this comment Pro, but I always thought it was really clear what happened to Donald Love. It seems like a reference to Hellraiser and the lament configuration which is usually seen being bought from an Asian gentleman by people with more extreme tastes. Donald Love definitely fits the type of person who would seek to buy the box.
37:10 i feel u man🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My man Claude is ice cold. And the best GTA protagonist.
39:27 the last you'll ever see Donald Love chronologiclly
This series should have way more likes c'mon you guys WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORK PROFESSIONAL ✊🏿✊🏿
It's midnight 2:30am in Detroit and I can't sleep now I can watch you .
28:40 lol the music went with the explosion
Donald Love looks like Claud just a bit in the Definitive Edition XD
Not even the cars taillights they got to work lmao
Legend has it the package contains Donald’s soul… oh wait that’s Marsellus Wallace…
Good with that mission that you we're having trouble with
they nerfed a drop in the ocean , that mission was supposed to give you 5 stars not 4
It would’ve been nice that in GTA Liberty City stories there would be minor hints but of what’s in the package like what if we tuned to the talk radio and they mentioned a massive manhunt for a mysterious man who stolen something is believed to be in his late 60s to early 70s
Look forward to the Donald Love lure video & other lure videos
13:50 Yeah, those cops in GTA are suicidal maniacs.
The Professional needs to play GTA Advance game, it hase much more lore for old GTA games.
I always figured Catalina got to Love while Claude was busy with the decoy work
Donald Love's package is either a valuable asset or something blackmailable. It is definately worth much more than gold. It could be a huge diamond or real estate contracts, but an Asian artefact is also possible.
Maybe Tommy Vercetti found out that Donald Love was responsible for Avery’s death in the events of Liberty City Stories in 1998. Also in the definitive edition Professional he looks like he aged rapidly. The original graphics weren’t perfect but yet Love looks a bit more youthful while being more mature and calculating contrasting to LCS Donald Love who looks like a flamboyant being
All fun and games till u realize Donald just went grocery shopping
0:24 liberator
5:18 Waka-gashira wipeout
10:41 a drop in the ocean
15:18 grand theft aero
26:40 escort service
39:05 decoy
43:35 Love’s disappearance
Donald actually look younger in the original version
Great gameplay and nice explanation about the game and characters, but I can't believe that Donald Love has mysteriously disappeared. At least that "A Drop in the Ocean" mission is a bit tolerable seeing as you attain a four star wanted level after you collected all six packages from the plane in the definitive edition of GTA 3, while you attain a five star wanted level in the original version of the game when you do the same thing. So I guess that's a plus.
Wait- why is there the sfx of Donald Love still running throughout the first mission cutscene lol? wow. This version just keeps on being problematic in it's issues huh.
I have been playing through GTA 3: The Definitive Edition for the past couple of days and I’ve recently completed the mission Escort Service. During said mission, there were no NPC drivers in the tunnel and the truck turned into the destination where is was supposed to so hopefully, that means that in the Definitive Edition, they’ve fixed these major problems which occurred with this mission in the past.
This is something that needed fixed big time because this mission is hard and time-consuming enough as it is.
Hint: when escorting the van jump on top of the vehicle with an m16 and shoot the cartel before they reach the van
