Exploring The Real Liberty City - The Point

[@dannyodwyer]

Thanks so much for watching everyone. It means the world that folks actually liked this show. It's basically the reason I'm taking the big leap. I'll be announcing my new thing in the next few days if you want to keep up with me. I'm not done talking about video games quite yet. The best is yet to come I hope! Thanks again.

[@jcaashby3]

Shows/channels/sites etc always have that one person you watch it for. You were very good and ill make sure to check out what your going to get into next. Best of luck.

[@graefx]

I almost teared up at that end card. Wutdafuq dude.

[@Afinati]

Set up a subscription model for your next venture. I want to subscribe.

[@GNARGNARHEAD]

stay golden pony boy!

[@DLCStudio25]

Danny I am going to miss you, but I will follow you where ever you land. Can't wait to hear what is going to be next for your adventure.

[@isunlloaoll]

The reason New york's Chinatown is different than London's or others, is because its still a active immigrant community. Unlike other Chinatowns that's been turned into a tourist trap. Little Italy right next to Chinatown used to be filled with Italian immigrants crowded in apartments is now a touristy area with luxury condos.

[@alanbrown2477]

This is my favorite The Point video. The smile Danny had on his face when he got off the subway and saw where he was, great and had a big smile myself. Absolutely top section of gamespot and will be sadly missed.

[@GuillermoLeoz]

I'm going to NYC in a few months and was thinking of doing exaclty the same thing: visit all the iconic spots in GTA 4. I've never been there, but I feel exaclty the same way as Danny. Liberty City to me IS New York. Farewell Danny, best of luck!

[@jillianleda6732]

I'm from NYC I like the game better lol but I'd probably do the same thing if I wasn't from here.

[@isma4507]

@@jillianleda6732 hahaha but time square need improve in gta 4

[@onemustypickle]

GTA IV'S soundtrack was the best!

[@ultimatelol6616]

the journey and the vibe 98.8 are my favorites

[@LeSonjay]

From Bluffers Guides, Escape From Mount Stupid, to The Lobby and to The Point I will truly miss you and all the awesome content you've created Danny! Farewell sir! :')

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Thanks for pointing Escape From Mount Stupid

[@LeSonjay]

Hemang Chauhan no problem good sir! :D

[@peculiarnewbie]

+JasonTheHuman he was on start/select too :D remember that one?

[@LeSonjay]

Cur Newb not yet but I'll search for it now :)

[@peculiarnewbie]

+JasonTheHuman oh, and also, random encounter? And also that one weird little show where he talks about bizarre games that name escapes me? Man, he really did create a lot. Kudos.

[@Choteron3]

That GTA IV theme song is so amazing

[@therealplato4406]

Thank you for the point Danny. I'm 17 now and have been playing games for about as long as I can remember. Watching your passion for the industry through the point has been a fun and emotional ride. Thank you for making the best gaming videos on youtube.

[@BrandtHughes]

The Point will go down as one of my all-time favorite video series about gaming. I'm only okay with it going away because I trust Danny enough to know that he wouldn't leave if it weren't important to do so. I'm really glad the song at 10:40 made it onto the final episode, that one was always my favorite. Also glad to see Austin in this, he is also a favorite of mine.

[@patcasey5070]

Thank you so much Danny, this show has really caused me nostalgia, reflection, contemplation, and challenged my thoughts throughout all its episodes, this show was the reason i subscribed to gamespot. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@misterio10gre]

RIP GameSpot. Danny was the only reason why I watched this channel's videos

[@goalski134]

thanks for delivering such enjoyable content over the years. your stuff on the witcher 3 will remain some of my favourite gaming clips of all time.

[@Mandalorian_Goblinslayer]

Hossan: OH YEAH! There she is, Liberty City! Niko: Yeah. Hossan: Have you ever been? Niko: No. Hossan: Crazy place, Niko.

[@ozzycastillo369]

This one was just amazing man, I've never been to New York myself but seeing all these things match GTA is just awesome really makes me appreciate Rockstar for putting in all this work to make the gamers feel as if they were there in real life. Definitely going to take a trip out there in the near future. Best of luck to you, can't wait to see what you have next!

[@Favewavegames]

GOD DAMN WHY YOU LEAVING ME😢 THE POINT WAS MY FAVOURITE SERIES , FAREWELL DANNY

[@Favewavegames]

Also where will we find you?!???

[@haniqali3]

+TopFiveMoments follow him on twitter

[@tintintb1980]

He could always carry on doing "The Point", just like Jim Sterling continued with the Jimquisition after he left the Escapist. *fingers crossed he continues the series in some form or another

[@PlaystationProduction]

Yeah I really enjoyed his narrative presentations.

[@lilyrubyify]

He's got a patreon now for doing gaming documentaries. I'm really looking forward to it.

[@CujoHyer]

As someone who loves NYC, but hasn't ever gotten to go (and probably never will get to), this was a bitter sweet way for me to also enjoy the last episode of this great series.

[@CujoHyer]

Money and legally blind. Two rough issues that make it more difficult to go at it alone.

[@j0nnyism]

Cujo H where there's a will there's a way

[@Robin-kp1nv]

POP Hold it down

[@Karl_Mass]

So sad to see you go! I cried on that episode of the lobby. Hope to see you back home someday. A little boost from home: "Wish you the best in whatever you decide to pursue. I have no doubt you will nail it man!"

[@matthewevans3543]

No reason to stay subscribed to GameSpot anymore then

[@Boeviper]

Mary, rob, Tay, Jess, zorine!!!!!!

[@Boswellboxer]

Truth 🙌

[@Dixavd]

What an awesome video, glad you got around to making this episode you'd planned for a while. Looking forward to see where you go, Danny. Wishing you all the best! The fact Austin appears in this video shows no one is gone for too long...

[@Seanbon5]

I love everyone at GameSpot, but your wit and smart commentary was what first got me returning to the site every day. Best of luck with whatever your next pursuit is!

[@RUDEMusicUS]

Going to miss you and this show.

[@KBABZ]

Love The Point, and I loved this episode. It's not flashy, it's humble, it's about a guy and his experiences, and yet it isn't bashing you over the head with "LOOK HOW INDIE AND MEANINGFUL I AM". My favourite episode is the Rocket League one because there's so much of Danny in that one. Man has GTAIV aged though. Look how barren the environment geo is!

[@Z3ROTH3RT33N]

Danny, thank you for all the memories. Your tribute to the late Satoru Iwata was incredible. Good luck on your next adventure.

[@mandu9520]

The point was always well done Danny, some of the best youtube has to offer in my opinion. Good luck.

[@mikkyd9989]

gonna miss you danny thanks for being the best games journalist in my opinion

[@epacsenur575]

so.....many....feels :(

[@c0mmanderKeen]

Danny, you had the best content on the site, and as a weird as it sounds, are my favorite VG journalist, whatever that means. Thanks for all that! I don't think I'll be heading back to gamespot anytime soon without you or kevin around.

[@RalphNader2020]

NOOOOOOO DANNNNY!!! Don't leave! This channel wont be the same without you man!

[@bharrison2012bh]

Amazing job Danny. Can't wait to see what's in store!

[@zohebsaikia]

oh Danny n team...u made me so much happy :) Best of luck to u

[@AsherGrace7]

From what I understand Danny is going off to start his own thing. Not really sure if that's going to involve Patron like Kinda Funny or if it's going to take the form of something else. Either way, I'll definitely follow him and back what ever he's doing.

[@Jeisii]

This will be always the best video game show on the Internet. Thanks for amazing content and a fresh point of view. Looking forward and the best of luck. Thanks

[@SN-yn6it]

Watching Danny go through Liberty City (New York) is still really emotional. Thank god he's doing No Clip, I'm enjoying all of his documentaries.

[@gunslingerplays]

You beautiful bastard Danny, leaving me with an episode of my favourite youtube series on one of my favourite games ever.

[@mikeh7350]

Danny I'm gonna miss ya. Best of luck too ya

[@DennisLieu]

All the best Danny. I hope you continue to make more videos and jump in on podcasts and UPFs every now and then. Thank you for all your hard work and good luck with your future ahead!

[@Johnson09641]

i'm not crying you're crying

[@jordanfinnegan7997]

so sad to see Danny go, I loved the point so much. good luck, I wish you well

[@SOLIDSNAKES35]

Fantastic job Danny! I am gonna miss The Point, such a brilliant show for so many reasons. Good luck in all your future endeavors!! See ya soon!

[@TheMonstaMen]

You missed the church where nico got married. But still amazing video. I wish I could travel to NY again to see some places you showed here

[@simonisenberg4516]

I stopped being sad about good people leaving and I'm now sad for the ones still staying. I sure hope Danny ends up doing similar content like the Point. The calm and more philosophical but not snobby look at all things gaming related is sorely missing in the media landscape, at least when it comes to video and talkshows. Thanks for all the good times, the great cinematography and being the grown up kid that you are, see you on the flipside.

[@music3k]

Good luck in the future Danny! Love your work

[@graefx]

The Point has been one of my favorite programs. For me, its production harkens back to the dedicated game programs of old. I'm sorry to see it go and some how I never realized it had its own channel.

[@Cirinwe]

Gonna miss this series, and Danny. Really good presenter.

[@uberxchuck944]

good man yourself Danny, proud to be a fan and wish I had run into you on the subway. Great sendoff from GS

[@Gruggo]

This was pretty cool, as someone who has never actually been to america, but always loved the GTA series, really enjoyed watching you explore NYC. Would be great to go there one day myself.

[@jamiegeorge4171]

Great show going to miss you bro good luck on all of your future endeavors. Wherever they may take you;)

[@samiyanes1598]

Amazing video. So cleverly shot, and entertaining. Thank you :)

[@rangeslider]

Fantastic video! This reminded me of how incredibly skilled the people at Rockstar Games are.

[@SimpsonF]

Good work as always you will be missed but can't wait to see your next adventure.

[@PsychoOstrich96]

Fuck i'm guna miss this series a lot. Best part about GameSpot imo.

[@wiseguy240Winston]

Lol he ain't want no smoke going to the Bronx.😆

[@tohirtillyaev2756]

Exactly the way I felt the first in NYC. And now that I live here it still amazes me. Like when I was at south street sea port for the first time recently and had a familiar feeling....like I've been here before....

[@xeno40414]

Danny your the best good luck on whatever it is your moving on to.

[@ViLTOJUMS]

Your videos have been my favourite content from GameSpot! :) Hope to see something like that in the future too.

[@TheNamesJER]

I just got back from a trip to see NYC for the first time. My brother who has been a good 15 or so times was baffled at how well I knew the city without having actually set foot in it. It just goes to show how incredibly accurate Rockstar’s parody of the Big Apple is, that after hundreds of hours in Liberty City, I was able to navigate the real world inspiration with ease.

[@ChocolatChef]

One of the best shows, Respect!

[@SHADOSTRYKR]

Now off to L.A. for GTAV!

[@zanychelly]

Danny, you are great. good luck going forward

[@alfff0]

Great series and best of luck, Danny.

[@Luchingador]

thank you for all the great content and work you made, looking foward to what you do next :)

[@capcaveman86]

First episode I watched of the point looks like I'll be going back for the old ones

[@ryangabe8815]

In honor of Danny today I'm going to play GTA 4. Maybe someday I'll make it to New York like he did. Thanks for all the awesome work over the years.

[@lolpl0000]

farewell danny. thank you for all the work you did. it inspired a lot of people.

[@fm_232]

Great video. Thanks for everything Danny.

[@rainyboi6383]

Me: "F*ck Yeah, Welcome to NYC!" Inner Thoughts: "God, this place is a dump, I'm stickin to the suburbs."

[@itsharris2345]

YEAH! NEW YORKERS UNITE!

[@DarioCruzII]

BIG BX IN DA HOUSE!!!

[@leonorab8857]

Loved this episode. Best of luck with what you're doing next :)

[@peanutismint]

So awesome Danny! What a brilliant way to end the behemoth of games journalism that was The Point. Can't wait to see more content like this from you, albeit maybe under a different name, in future! :-)

[@Boswellboxer]

The Point is amazing, good luck Danny in your future.

[@unknowndude0074]

RIP Danny, we'll never forget you.

[@camilo1957]

what happened to it? he died?

[@DenisBriski]

The Poimt and Escape from mount stupid were some of my favorite shows on YT... See you around Danny...

[@Geekmandem]

Press F to pay respect! See you around Danny, The Point is one of the best bits of gaming media around.

[@The6thRonin]

Damn, I always loved The Point. Going to miss it, great work everyone.

[@ChrisLT]

Best of luck, Danny! At least we'll still have Bernie talk!

[@MichaelGeorgioudraws]

Aw man, Danny, sorry to hear you're leaving. I love The Point!

[@iamtheduke87]

for some reason this is exactly what I needed good luck man thanks for being my replacement since Adam sessler left the business now I'll need another. makes me wonder what's next for video game journalism

[@cooljammer00]

Welp, this video makes me realize I should probably explore my city more, having lived in NYC my entire life and all that. You made a New Yorker feel bad about not enjoying the city enough, Danny. Hope you're proud of yourself :-)

[@orderlyschism]

@DannyODwyer You should continue making content like The Point. It has lasting value that a lot of games journalism/media doesn't.

[@tommyvercetti9434]

13:16 I'm one of those weirdos. I'm getting an 8 hours plane trip to New York from Spain just to experience the real life Liberty City. That city feels like my neighbourhood whenever I play GTA IV, hell, I know the names of more streets in LC than in my own city.

[@deathjumps]

Jesus!!! I still can't believe your leaving Danny, the Point especially was some of thee best gaming journalism I have ever seen, your clearly a master of your art and, no offence to Gamesspot, but if the continue the point, it WONT be the same with out you buddy, God help the next guy, big shoes that, in my opinion, just won't be filled..... Good luck in your next venture buddy, I will be looking out for ya (fellow Irish fan)

[@TheRealdealdude2]

Thank you Danny O Dwyer. You will forever remain the realist gamer at GameSpot. Can't wait for what's next for you!

[@WritingOnGames]

It has to be a Patreon. Talk on the last Giant Bomb UPF of how he's not going to another site but how he's still doing games stuff, how he's pretty much going to be on his own and how he'll be getting "cabin fever", which I guess means the lonely, lonely world of KZbin. Whatever it is, it's launching Monday apparently. COME ON DANNY WE NEED TO KNOW AND ALSO LET ME GIVE YOU ALL MY MONEY

[@sanjivmohanraj515]

great video danny, goodluck to whatever you do next.

[@lukemcd07025]

Good luck in your future endeavours Danny!

[@MoonOvIce]

I had the inverse feeling when I played GTA IV in 2008, I lived about half hour from New York City (New Jersey) so I went ALL the time, when I played the game, I had a lot of moments of "I WAS THERE!!" and "I WAS THERE LAST WEEK!! WOW!". It was impressive technology and it was the first time for the GTA series that the available technology on consoles and PC finally allowed a big world the likes GTA was already known for with (for the time) modern graphics. Both 3, Vice City and San Andreas had to sacrifice graphics a little bit in order to fit those huge worlds.

[@geovanguard8579]

awesome! will miss is show a lot.

[@alexanderjarvis2008]

I’ve never been to NYC but like Winston Zeddemore said I love this town

I was in Battery Park yesterday and immediately new where I was in GTA 4, Castle Gardens

[@bluecellspy]

This was actually great! 👌 I haven't been to gamespot since the scandal years ago but damn this guy knows how to make videos I love. Game spot the point is easily the best thing they've done in years. 👏

Oh the point is back, finally aaaaaaand its the last one

[@SwissMilk0]

great vid so many great memories of gta4, look forward to your future vids all the best

Danny is the reason why Gamespot exists.

[@pedrooliveira936]

This guy was one of the best gamesport has ever had. I will follow him of course, but he will be deeply missed here.
