The Turning Point of GTAIV (for me)
Scientist tz | 9:11 AM on 06.24.2008 9 comments


Niko Bellic is basically a nice guy, right? That's how I was playing it. He's just a nice guy who got dealt a bad hand and has to kill some people. I stayed in character. I avoided hitting pedestrians. I didn't kill people when they were crawling away. Sometimes I'd even call an ambulance when I hit someone on accident.

But something was wrong. Something felt wrong.

I decided that Niko Bellic isn't like that at all. He's a psychopath. He's a monster. I borrowed the persona of one of my favorite literary characters of all time and decided to play GTAIV as if he were the main character.



Anton Chigurh, Of course.

Now, if someone gets in Niko's way they get shot. If someone sees Niko shoot someone, they get shot. If someone insults Niko....shot. Whenever Niko meets someone in-game it's pretty much a possibility that character's life is forfeit.

I pared my weapon selection down to Shotgun, MP5, Pistol, and Molotov.

The game is a lot more fun now.

"Step out of the car please, sir."

Here's hoping for air compressors in GTA V!

When I first got the game I spent pretty much every moment that I was in a car slowly driving down the sidewalk through everyone and everything and watching the euphoria engine do its magic

hahaha its still fun to do

@Skribble - YES! I did the same exact thing! Haha, its so hilarious and almost never gets old.

While killing everyone that crosses you would also be a fun way to play through your second time I found it equally as fun to be just driving along on some random mission and turn the wheel a little bit, bump up on the sidewalk, make a few nice kills and swerve back to the street like nothing happened. Almost like a senior citizen passing by a farmers market, oblivious to the carnage they caused. Muwahaha!
