Definitely. I really miss those times that Rockstar really cared about the story actually after seeing V's pointless story and after 8 years, still not a DLC around.
@@mehmet.6553 It wasn’t pointless but okay🤦🏻♂️ hating on GTA 5 has become a shitty meme at this point and if GTA 6 ever comes out people are gonna say it sucks and say 5 is better continuing the shitty cycle🥱
@@oxideactual1018 Last time I played through the GTA V story was spring 2014, haven't even finished it on PC or PS4. When I grind GTA Online, I often put on full walkthroughs from TH-cam of better GTA stories like IV and San Andreas as ASMR. GTA V's story was just a gameplay experiment, where script and layers took a backseat, and the result was boredom in HD - boring map, boring game mechanics and boring antagonists. The only reason I play GTA Online is in hopes that it somehow outlives GTA V and becomes part of some sort of GTA overall universe that'll grow bigger with every new GTA added into HD era. And that the only reason why GTA 6 lingers is because consoles aren't powerful enough yet to host such a massive concept as conjoined GTA Online Universe. I may be delusional, but that's the only reason I have these days to play GTA. I'd like to play old 3d GTAs, but R* has been ruining them as well for those past years. How f@cking hard is it to enhance the picture quality without adding/changing features?
The best part about the 3 protagonist thing in GTA 4 is that none of them knew each other too well and they were kinda working against each other rather than pulling off heists with each other
I love that Luis and Niko are antagonists in each other's stories without ever really having a real confrontation. Feel like in a different situation they would get along pretty well.
@@wowdevon1893 they cannot team up because Johnny is dead. Tony is in Los Santos so Luis might be the owner of the clubs in LC, and Niko has actually vanished without any clues.
Niko killed Ray Boccino, Ray was going to kill Johnny. Johnny killed Evan, Luis didn't like him always with Tony. Luis killed Ray Bulgarin, Ray Bulgarin was going to kill Niko. The 3 protagonists helped each other reconditely.
I love that Rockstar tried to match up GTA 4 with the DLCs as close as possible. Something like that I've only seen with Half-Life 1 and its expansions.
"I wouldn't want this Niko Bellic coming after me, the guy is deranged"😂😂. Imagine if Niko found out that Johnny kidnapped Roman then i bet Trevor wouldn't have been the one to kill him
shoulda been between Niko or Luis to finish Johnny not Trevor. Having Trevor killing off Johnny jus seemed like an after thought for the sake of character development as if Trevor couldn't of beat some1 else to death😔
GTA 4 had the absolute best storylines, I loved this way more than GTA 5 In GTA 4: Niko, Johnny, and Luis were never friends, they just so happen to run into each other during some of their jobs, they all had their own problems, their own stories, and their own bosses. GTA 4 will never be topped in this franchise.
I really love that each of them screwed the other ones and didn't even really know each other. Niko killed Jim and kidnapped Gracie, johnny stole the diamonds and kidnapped roman, Luis ruined the libertonian diamond deal
despite some small differences they actually timed things very good..i was amazed how good they did the dlc's based on the base game back then, and i'm still impressed now, +that the stories are so different..i always had a blast playing them, even nowadays such great games
I've always had this idea where the trio's story all plays out simultaneously. Though i can imagine such a thing being difficult due to imperfect timing, inaccurate time of day and weather (Like sunny in TLaD but it's raining in GTA IV), and jumpy cutscenes. I don't exactly know the total run time of all 3 games together but i'm sure such a video would be hours long.
Just like Trevor, I finished it up about 1 week ago and whenever I finished the mission for one game before the crossover of the other, I took note of the game time and try to get the crossover on time with the previous mission done. (There's a mission order online!)
Very good video. I think the inconsistency of the characters' models is from a narrative perspective, from how the characters see each other. Niko sees Johnny as just another member of the Lost, and Luis as another gangster. He doesn't think much of Tony when they meet. I guess Johnny would also be somewhat familiar with Luis, because he knows Tony, but that is only in theory. When the expansions got released, I guess Rockstar purposefully partailly rteconned the characters' models to make them look more unique, and retained that appearance well into TBoGT, like Johnny and Billy's appearance remaining unchanged from TLaD. Ray Boccino and Ray Bulgarin are perfect examples of characters that don't look that different into the expansions. They just wear slightly different outfits. Or Roman, who doesn't look different at all, just wears a fancy suit for hanging out at the club. The reason why those characters changed is probably because Rockstar didn't have their full character written, hence why their appearance wasn't very detailed, or they enhanced their appearance for uniqueness' sake. There are several very good mods that can change that.
actually from what ive heard TLaD and TBOGT were written at the same time as GTA 4, however in GTA 4 they didnt really bother modeling Johnny, Luis or Tony in a good way and probably put the effort in somewhere else since they were minor characters in the main game.
I def thought it was because niko and Johnny saw Luis as more of a stereotypical Latino in the face without actually seeing his face they saw him but never SAW him that’s how I like to think about it at least. Because everybodies memory of events is slightly different so the people they saw wouldn’t actually look all the way like said person
I remember back in the day I would mess around with those Niko and Packie bots in TBoGT quite frequently. They seem to have an insane amount of HP for whatever reason.
I love how perfectly fitting it is with the Grand theft auto 4 Trilogy. But the models and cutscenes are very different compared to the other Perspective Main Characters
Interesting how some characters act slightly out of character in cutscenes from earlier games because these were shot before R* properly fleshed out their personality and background. Like, the way Johnny acts at 1:54 is absolutely not like he normally behaves in TLAD at all. Or Gay Tony at 10:00. Other than that, the intertwined story was an amazing idea and it was executed perfectly.
@@brolybanderas42 I think what's trying to be explained is that Johnny acted more serious in TLAD but in GTA IV during the party he acted "excited" (probably the party and music got him acting that way) As for Tony, throughout TBOGT he acts more stressed and angry by that time of the story so during the diamond deal which was first encountered on TLAD he had a more "jumpy" feeling as he complimented Evan.
Most of these are explained on the expansion too as of why they don't act "normally" Like Tony was absolutely coked out before the Diamond deal happening, that's why he's so weirdly jovial. And Luis was giving Tony an intervention because he pointed a pistol at his head before him and Luis exchanged Gracie and the Diamonds with Niko and Packie, that's why he's more Stark at that mission and not at all panicky like he usually do in Ballad of Gay Tony storyline It's honestly a really great example of retroactive writing and it's an incredible achievement to do that
Even though it was the least sold game, and didn't have the highest budget GTA IV and it's dlcs are the most fun and detailed games out of all GTA games. Love your work man, keep it up
@@GentlemanQuentin oh yeah, 6 million was only in the first week, my bad. But compared to gta 5 that got 20 million sales just in 2020 and overall 150 millions it's still very low
18:56 bruh since in the original they gave him super dark sunglasses i legit always thought Tony was blind XD, like legit the way he moves and such i swear i thought he was blind haha! so when i played Ballad of Gay Tony i didnt ever realiced he was the same guy!
that isn't logical with how GTA IV plays out... but I have an older video showing how that could have worked out - th-cam.com/video/JYcjP8pLWkQ/w-d-xo.html
Fun Fact - On 2:43 while crossing Police Checkpoint on the bridge - you can actually drive on far right side, between poll and bridge structure - in that way you don't obtain 1 star. 100% works in TLaD
You did an amazing job, man!!! Playing these games was one of the best things ever happened to me. Thnx to my birthday, my sister bought me these three.
There seems to be a slight difference in lighting on tlad when compared to the other games 2:29 4 and tlad 9:56 tbogt and tlad 11:26 all three (4 and tbogt seem to have similar lighting compared to tlad) But then there are times where the cutscenes look identical like: 1:06 5:00
It's meant to set the tone of the stories. I found the yellow tint a bit weird when playing as Johnny, but it's because it's a darker serious Story. Same with Niko with the grayish tint.
Well, some changes are interesting, like Elizabeta changing her clothes between cuts in TLAD. PS. Have you ever thought about making video, which would show differences between PC and console versions of GTA IV? From what I know, there are actually a lot more than I thought to be.
Surprised you didn't show the other part of the TBoGT intro where Johnny and Niko were shown. I imagine Johnny was just taking a ride, so no comparison needed. Niko on the other hand, just got out of the subway and in the Huntley Sport (now Presidente)
A matched-up timeline to see what happened in the other sides! Great work! 👏👏👏👏 Edit: It's like Rockstar already developed the DLCs prior to 2008 and in 2009 they were ready.
The Libertonian mission sync is kinda ruined by the fact that you used Pay N Spray because a lot of time passes if you use that in GTA 4 so from the moment you used it, this mission wasn't even close to be properly synced. Appart from that, you did a pretty great job.
@@sunsetman22 true but on the defectie edition worked an studio that ports mobile games and has only 20 members only way of having good remaster/remake would be if either rocsstar themselvs remastered/remade it or making some profesional studio do it but after what i saw the port on rdr1 i think they would also port gtaIV
Personally I have so much more fun with GTA IV campaign over GTA V; everything about IV is more appealing, missions, characters, story, driving, city's feeling. I'm interested to see how GTA6 will be (if they change from GTA V style, at least; because it gives them a lot of money, maybe they'll copy/paste many concepts)
It's just that Liberty City is very dark, and has a feeling of sadness and hopelessness, while Los Santos is sunnier, more lively and hopeful, as if everything is going to work out, whereas Vice City is equivalent to Los Santos, so it will probably be a sunny city, with late afternoon rain
kinda cool how they're all enemies not friends unlike in GTA V with them 3 protags. and yes Niko and Johnny were not friends. they weren't even 'allies' as such just on ok terms. Johnny betrays Niko in the libertonium deal, and also kidnapped roman for dimitri. therefore him and Niko are now enemies, even if niko didn't know johnny kidnapped roman, they're still enemies after johnny betrayed niko.
There's a mod to make character switching like GTA 5 possible. I just wish that when you switched character you could play their story and if it was one event, like the diamond deal, that you only have to do it with one of the characters
The video I didn't know I wanted until now very cool. I always thought the fact that these storylines were taking place at the same time was such a cool thing
A change of color filter can completely change your mood, I feel that seeing these comparisons. In GTA IV I feel more depressed. In TLAD I feel...weird, something like that. In TBOGT I feel more excited and energetic to explore every corner of the map.
Also the main difference is color grading 😂 gta 4 color is darker TLAD color is yellowish and TBoGT color is actually colorful these three gives different vibes according their looks
I wouldn't want this Niko Bellic coming for me. Guy is deranged. Unlike this drug dealer hipster from Sandy Shores. Seems like a calm and nice person. (c) Johnny.
"I wonder how Los Santos is treating Tony. I heard he met this prick Lazlow... and some other person who's running Maisonette Los Santos." (insert your own GTA 5 nightclub name as you will) -Luis Lopez
Wow you posted this a few days after I finished the story of the three in order! I found a guide online that shows what mission order the three games are played to go through chronology. I always find it annoying though when I'm doing the crossover missions and there's those slight differences. The way I think of it when I do play the crossover missions, I just end up thinking of it as when Niko and Johnny meet, the tattoo is more bold in GTA IV because in Niko's POV, it's something he hasn't seen before on someone and it's a highlight to Johnny's appearance to him. For Johnny's clothes, it's something Niko probably doesn't think much of and easily forgets about it. (Just like me if I see someone from a day ago I somewhat completely forget what exact clothes they wore) Johnny's face looks more "flatter" than in TLAD and since Niko is just seeing him for a few missions, he doesn't fully remember his facial features. (As well as for Johnny seeing Evan, Tony and Luis for the diamond ambush and the other crossover missions) When I do Luis' missions and the crossovers happens I believe since he is the youngest of the three, his mind remembers more easily and sees Johnny and Niko in their "true forms".
That's how Kuroko's Knife series works too... All side novels is connected deeper to each other. Like Gta 4 and EFLC connected... Gta 4 is my inspiration source
It would have been cool if they added a multiplayer coop section part of the dlcs to play at the same in-game time. You could still have this same singleplayer play plus picking either story for coop to play together at the same time. More fleshing out of both DLCs too😮💨this game could of really made a mark
I Luv LC and Three Leaf Clover also have Niko wearing different tuxedos. In Three Leaf Clover, you can actually choose what you'll wear to the heist. But in I Luv LC, you can see Niko in a gray tuxedo with a black tie.
GTA IV and EFLC's intertwined storyline is rare in the videogame industry.

2:29 4 and tlad
9:56 tbogt and tlad

But then there are times where the cutscenes look identical like:
1:06
5:00

The earliest timeline comparison would have been Niko killing Jason Michaels and Billy talking about it that happened before Niko and Johnny met.

Omg rally good video man...
10:20 Luis in cutscene from TBOGT is fat and Luis in cutscene from TLAD is skinny
A change of color filter can completely change your mood, I feel that seeing these comparisons.
In GTA IV I feel more depressed. In TLAD I feel...weird, something like that. In TBOGT I feel more excited and energetic to explore every corner of the map.
I wished you timed Johnny killing Evan to Tony reading Evan's tweet lmao.
Cutscene continuity achieved.
Liz Torres’ accent continuity? Failed.
There's a phone call with roman were you call after the libertonian mission , explains stuff about Niko's feeling about luis
I assume Niko has less detail in TLAD.
i noticed it at 12:02, paused.
This shit is trippy while hitting a cart asf
Also the main difference is color grading 😂 gta 4 color is darker TLAD color is yellowish and TBoGT color is actually colorful these three gives different vibes according their looks
Tbogt isn't colorful. It just hasn't brown shades like IV and TLAD.
All three parts are not colorful. This is Liberty City after all
THE KING IS BACK
I want all the characters to meet together and have a conversation.
I wouldn't want this Niko Bellic coming for me. Guy is deranged.
Unlike this drug dealer hipster from Sandy Shores. Seems like a calm and nice person.
(c) Johnny.
"I wonder how Los Santos is treating Tony. I heard he met this prick Lazlow... and some other person who's running Maisonette Los Santos." (insert your own GTA 5 nightclub name as you will)
-Luis Lopez
niko looks weird in a bike
johnny looks weird in a car
luis looks weird when running
Kinda wished Johnny has other changeable punk or biker clothes like that one with vest or other leather jackets
Wow you posted this a few days after I finished the story of the three in order! I found a guide online that shows what mission order the three games are played to go through chronology. I always find it annoying though when I'm doing the crossover missions and there's those slight differences. The way I think of it when I do play the crossover missions, I just end up thinking of it as when Niko and Johnny meet, the tattoo is more bold in GTA IV because in Niko's POV, it's something he hasn't seen before on someone and it's a highlight to Johnny's appearance to him. For Johnny's clothes, it's something Niko probably doesn't think much of and easily forgets about it. (Just like me if I see someone from a day ago I somewhat completely forget what exact clothes they wore) Johnny's face looks more "flatter" than in TLAD and since Niko is just seeing him for a few missions, he doesn't fully remember his facial features. (As well as for Johnny seeing Evan, Tony and Luis for the diamond ambush and the other crossover missions) When I do Luis' missions and the crossovers happens I believe since he is the youngest of the three, his mind remembers more easily and sees Johnny and Niko in their "true forms".
Luis is also a "guard" of his club , so he has memorizing skills for appearances
I like how the storys blend in with each other man,i love all 3 stories
That's how Kuroko's Knife series works too...
All side novels is connected deeper to each other. Like Gta 4 and EFLC connected...
Gta 4 is my inspiration source
You should do a video showcasing how first person animations look in third person in GTA V
Next POV: The getaway driver in prologue. (Still waiting)
In the diamond deal, Killing Niko just puts him out of his misery considering the life he’s lived. Killing Johnny is Trevor Phillips’ job.
#keepGTAIValive
that timing in buyers mafrket/blow your cover blows me the fuck away
It would be nice if Rockstar made a complete online for this one where 3 online players will be playing each main protagonist of the game
I forgot to say, that cutscenes just like from The Lion King & The Lion King 1 1/2 I watched.
Thank you for this video, whatever57010
12:26 Luis moment
Great vid, thanks
This is impressive and satisfying. Good shit on Rockstar.. and you too for putting this together. 👍
Luis takes down Niko and Packie
Packie: Leave my buddy Niko alone
Niko: You trying to fuck with us
Luis: This is what you 2 get for kidnapping Gracie
It would have been cool if they added a multiplayer coop section part of the dlcs to play at the same in-game time. You could still have this same singleplayer play plus picking either story for coop to play together at the same time. More fleshing out of both DLCs too😮💨this game could of really made a mark
That diamond exchange mission is the best ngl all 3 in one frame
in the cutscene at the bank robbery between GTA IV and TBoGT, the alarm siren sounds a bit different
I notice Johnny is taller in main game.
You Doing This Good Respect
Edit: GTA 4: Lost And Damned İs The Best Game For Me❤😊❤
I Luv LC and Three Leaf Clover also have Niko wearing different tuxedos. In Three Leaf Clover, you can actually choose what you'll wear to the heist. But in I Luv LC, you can see Niko in a gray tuxedo with a black tie.
You can also find this outfit in the PS3/Xbox 360 version.
20:10 there's a new building
