GAME SINS | Everything Wrong With Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA4)

Sub on Patreon for Classic & DLC Sins: / dartigan
Grand Theft Auto finally gets its day here on the channel now that we have a better idea of when GTA6 is releasing in 2025. Starting off with Grand Theft Auto IV, a game that I built up in my head as having the best plot and characters in the series. I passed that nostalgia test easily, because my rose tinted glasses slipped right off the moment I tied to steer a car or keep track of the plot through the second half of GTA4.

One thing I have always appreciated about this game. At the start, Niko's English is very disjointed, he's saying the right things but it's not exactly flowing correctly. But by the end of the game, the only thing to hint that English isn't his first language is the accent. Such a subtle, arguably unnecessary attention to detail (that might have been touched on in the video not watched it all through yet) that I can't help but adore

[@xforby8185]

Yes, such keen eye for detail, yet he speaks his native language as if he only ever took 2 Duolingo lessons during the boat ride, instead of coming fresh from Serbia. Unfortunately this is what took me out of the immersion constantly. Was really baffled they could not find 2 voice actors that speak english and serbian, but still appreciate the effort by the actors, as this was one of the first times the balkan people heard their language spoken in a AAA video game.

[@mikeanthony3300]

To be fair, that's only really the case during the early missions. By like the 4th or 5th mission Niko stops questioning everything and even speaks English perfectly fine. He only starts reverting to his home language when extremely emotional (mainly when he's angry) or taking a jab at Roman (who sarcastically acknowledges and understands what he says).

[@Supahdenning]

@@xforby8185 You'd need 4 VAs to also cover Florian and Darko, and the Russians are bad too(Dimitri's VA is actually Czech iirc). Florian is the one that annoyed me the most, he can't even pronounce the r right, it's totally American. At least Niko is doing some sort of Slav-esque accent even if it isn't right.

[@nekipeh7373]

True, there is some change. But like other commentors said, they all pretty much suck at talking. Even those Russians in San Andreas were cringe and stereotipical. In here, they just sound more professional.

It's a guy you can meet as a random event in the game.

You know, I hadn't actually thought about how Niko had done zero searching for the people he was looking for ever since he arrived.

[@nygelwilliams5880]

Well I mean when you have the Russian mob constantly on your heels you’d probably get side tracked too. That and I feel like Niko went about it actually pretty well for a foreigner who just arrived to one of the most dangerous cities in America with no real allies except a cousin who runs a shitty cab service. He moved up the ranks of the criminal underworld till he could establish contact with someone with the right connections to find just about anybody in the city.

[@Supahdenning]

It's established that Niko hasn't used the Internet before and is not fond of modern technology, so what would he do? Search for "Florian Cravic" in a phone book? Which he probably did off-screen

[@the_sam_strong]

A guy during a taxi mission for roman asks niko "how's the hunting so far?" when niko tells him he is looking for someone and Niko replies "haven't even started yet, I'm getting settled in and had to help Roman with his debts with longsharks"

Sinning Niko not going through customs is hardly valid when he's an illegal immigrant on a ship that's not supposed to be carrying immigrants and all that.

[@shurdi3]

I believe Niko is 30 at the time of GTA IV, which means he was born in 1978. A bit too young for the wars of Serbian aggression against the Bosnians and Croats, but I do believe that he was conscripted for the Kosovar war instead, as that makes him around 20 when the war started, and in ripe age to have his youth thrown away by politicians who want more power.

[@landismithCOJ]

At no time did Roman say "Hey Nico, let's go gaming." Vote for Still Wakes The Deep.

[@LeftSinkHandle]

[@muhammadfadhilnurhafizwang7932]

If I remember correctly, after Niko starts working with Pegorino, you can optionally call Roman. In that phone call, Niko tells Roman he keeps doing work for the mafia hoping that they will find Darko for him. Hence, you don't see him actively find Darko himself, he's just one guy afterall. It's just that the deed is done via another mafia boss Gravelli in the end.

[@the_sam_strong]

Darko isn't even in america unlike florian, Niko's only hope to find him was find someone powerful enough in liberty city to be able to track darko down for him, and niko knew that, if this guy actually played the game more than once and had payed attention to the story, he would have known this too.

[@Supahdenning]

It's different but it's fun. I don't think either 4 or 5's driving are inherently better or worse, they're different games with radically different road/map design where the gameplay of driving is very inherently different. 4 roads are thin, there aren't really any wide open spaces, and traffic is packed, with the gameplay being essentially about avoiding obstacles, while in 5 roads are very spacious and traffic tends to be downplayed, so the focus is moreso on routing efficiently.

[@the_sam_strong]

You spent 3:33 minutes to give the first sin when you could have just summarized all that talking with "Niko gets depicted as a fundamentally good person with principles, just broken and who can't find a way out of his criminal life, the problem with this is that we, as the player, can literally make him kill tons of innocent people and do genocides while playing as him which goes against his whole characterization"

Sin 3: Niko hadn't met Roman in several decades, and Niko spent most of those years in eastern european countries with relatively limited internet access, there's a good chance he didn't even know images could be sent over email. Sin 5: what do you expect him to say? He's obviously not gonna go on a rant about committing crimes against humanity that he himself is disgusted by. Sin 6: Niko immigrated to liberty city illegally. Sin 7: Roman didn't have anyone telling him to not drive to the docks while drunk, and he allowed Niko to drive because Niko suggested it. Sin 8: skill issue. Sin 9: yes they would, they literally do in real life. Sin 12: that's not what he said, and even if that was what he meant, it wouldn't be a flaw of the game or its writing. Sin 14: that's not what he said. Sin 17: Roman was already in the car with the engine running, Niko had enough time to start driving. Sin 19: they had been keeping tabs on Niko for a long time before he arrived in liberty city, probably because of his connection to Bulgarin, they probably started keeping tabs on him when he got on the ship traveling to liberty city several months prior the beginning of the game. the plan to get him aquainted with Michelle was set in motion before he even stepped foot in America. Sin 21: it's important for the story to have these characters make attempts at living like normal people. Sin 24: he's forcing Niko to commit crimes for him as payment for Romans depts. Sin 28: nobody in the story cares that Mallorie is messing around with other guys, beyond Roman being jealous, he'd be a hypocrite if he tried to act like she's a horrible person for it, when he's no better. Sin 29: the difference is that Niko hates Vlad, he does not hate Roman. Sin 30: you present Niko recounting those events from his own bias perspective as a flaw of this game. It is not. Sin 31: that's not true, for the entire game, Niko is making connections with as many organized crime groups as he can, with the intention of getting aquainted with people who could help him find the people he's looking for. He specifically asked Ray to help him find Florian, and he asked the UPLL for it too, but they knew he was actually looking for Darco. Sin 40: if you pay attention, you can see that Niko doesn't understand anything Badman is saying, Jacob is more comprehensible Sin 42: Niko didn't betray Bulgarin, he nearly died in a job gone wrong and Bulgarin accused Niko of stealing from him. Vlad on the other hand was never Niko's boss, Niko hated him from the start and never hid the fact he doesn't like him. But Niko is loyal to Roman and his army buddies that he wants to avenge. Sin 50: GTA4 doesn't have a morality system, the player having a choice to spare some characters has nothing to do with morality, if anything it's something you can do out of spite to the people that ordered niko to kill those characters. Sin 52: New York City is the largest city in the world, it's not unreasonable to hide from people by going to a different part of it. Sin 54: Niko literally said he does this work because it's something he's good at, and he needs money, and he doesn't care if he lives or dies. Him trying to leave the crime life behind him is something he only briefly considers at the end of the the game. Sin 61: Mallorie grew up in that neighborhood. Also, mathematically, mallorie only introduced Niko go Manny and Elizabeta, that's only 2 people which a drop in the bucket of the amount of terrible people Niko gets aquainted with in this game. Sin 62: they literally did bring heroin, that was the whole point of them going there. Sin 64: in case you didn't notice, Niko is a bad person, as evident by the amount of crimes he has done in a game about being a criminal. Sin 65: people want Niko working for them, because he's an efficient murderer, so if they want people killed, he can get it done. Sin 70: you have no reason to think that, unless you expect to be shown something that obviously happened offscreen. Sin 72: Ray isn't a mob boss, he's a guy with connections to a mob boss.

I don't think I've ever seen a better protagonist than Nico in a GTA game, the shock between story and gameplay is definitely a thing that underscores it but I still love this vibe of his. He knows he's doing horrible things and he genuinely hates it, but he keeps falling back into the cycle of criminal violence out of habit because that's just who he is, and ultimately that makes him just so much more compelling in my eyes. After all, wanting to break out of a bad habit or lifestyle choice but always finding yourself falling right back into it is arguably one of the most notorious human flaws.

[@the-ironclad]

Nico Bellic is the best written with depth but Trevor Philips is the most fun and overall best. Every scene he is in, you already know shits gonna go south.

[@the_sam_strong]

As niko tells kate in a optional dialogue he doesn't think people can change and that's why he keeps falling back into the criminal world, because he thinks he doesn't know how to live a normal life, despite wanting to. To this, kate replies "so you can go on like this until there's no one else to kill? Or until you die? Grow up, be free, it's over the life you're doing now, you can still turn it around. At least think about it" I think this whole exchange is one of the major reasons why you should take revenge ending, because taking deal is basically agreeing with niko about people not being able to change since, in deal niko chooses money and to still work for criminals over his principles while in revenge he chooses his principles by killing dimitri to be free like kate suggested him and cut his ties with the criminal underworld so he can finally try and live a normal life. Of course both endings have sad outcomrs but deal is definitely worse than revenge since niko ends up losing roman as well as kate who dumps him for choosing money over his principlrs, not to mention that Roman's kid will grow up without a father, while in Revenge Niko only loses Kate but has still Roman who tells niko that him and Mallorie are his family and will always stay close to him.

[@michaelignite8598]

Seems like I will be that Serb Dartigan mentioned in his video :), but I guess I need to clear out a couple of misconceptions: 1. Niko didn't fight in Bosnia. Bosnian war was in the time period of 1992-1995, which means that Niko, being born in 1978 would only be 17 years old at the time that war ended (he was 14 when it started which makes it unlikely he participated in it. It wasn't too often that kids at that age fought in the war, although it could have happened. It makes much more sense that he fought in the Kosovo war (1998-1999) where he would be of age. He even gets into the conflict with Albanians at the beginning of the game which might be an implicit low key indication of what war he fought in. 2. There has never been a genocide in Bosnia. I am sorry the media that always lies to you lied you again. There were crimes, there were ethnic cleansings, there were massacres, but there weren't genocides. Srebrenica was done under the excuse of the retaliation for the Bosnian military crimes (yes, there were crimes against the Serbs as well, go figure!) and only the military capable men were executed which means it cannot have been a genocide. 3. 12:50 Niko said that he had gone to ambush a squad that killed some innocents.

Recently played through this title. I found myself enjoying pool as a mini game and would call up the buddies to play often. Eventually your peeps will tell you that they do not want to/feel like playing. Didn't notice that before in my youth playthroughs because I was naturally having more fun putting in cheat codes and mostly ignoring the story. Haha but I thought that was a relatively cool detail to add in. It gives the characters more life and makes them feel real. Silly i know, but most developers would not think to include something like this so thought i would mention it. Always thought and still feel that this is the better gta title despite the balancing issues you mentioned with basically needing cheat codes to play it without getting annoyed.

God, there is so much wrong in this video! Dude, Niko can’t just walk away from crime after leaving Hove beach because 1) Roman’s gambling is making them broke and getting loan sharks after them and 2) Dimitri and Bolgarin are after him! Who’s the hell do you expect Niko Roman to a live a normal life, even if they leave liberty city, when they have targets on their backs? Do you even realize how many connections Dimitri and Bolgarin could have? What kills me is “Roman is safe and Niko could use this opportunity to get away from crime and violence” yet keeps the sin knowing that Dimitri kidnaps him later in the game….what!? He is trying to survive, keep Roman safe and make sure they have enough money to have a roof over their heads! This is common sense, dude and the game shows this! The diamonds do lead to fun missions like the museum shoot out, the shoot out at the docks in TLAD and blowing up the lost in TBOGT! Hell the saddest ending in TLAD happened BECAUSE of Johnny taking Ray’s money so what are you talking about? Niko is trying to live a good life and trying to change, one of the reasons he came to liberty city is to get away from the shit happening at home and he says this! Roman, despite his faults, is kinda like Niko’s conscious and trying to lead him away from this life hell when Roman tells Niko he had a dream about getting away from this craziness and opening a tavern. He even saw Niko was married. Niko not wanting to work with Brucie after finding out he had roid rage makes sense since he bring that much attention on himself AND what if Brucie gets pissed at him or Roman? A roid raged Brucie is too unpredictable for Niko to work with compared to the other criminals he works with cause at least they think shit out. What’s wrong with Niko going in a room to kill drug dealers for Manny? You just sin it without any explanation. Malorie said she grew up in Bohan so no shit she happens to know criminals and she didn’t know Michelle or Karen was a fed. If you played lost and dammed then the sin you put on the undercover heroin buyer should be taken off. Even without that game, Elizabeta tells you that Johnny’s been sitting on some Heroin! That’s the reason Johnny goes with you! Niko helps Manny just to get paid! Like I said, he’s working so hard to make sure him and Roman survive so he has to work with scumbags who’ll pay for him to kill people. People want to work with Niko cause he’s hood at what he does. He’s just one man and he killed a Russian mob boss on his own, these people who want him to work for them are just arrogant and think they can take Niko out…and as you said, they’ve been proven wrong. Common sense, come on Niko understands Jacob because he’s been around him for a while and started picking up on what he’s saying, just like what Roman says after the FIRST mission with Jacob! How did you miss that? It sounds like you’re just hanging up the phone after every mission and it shows cause you’re missing so much. The ULP most likely knew about the deal because they’re a freaking government agency! They knew everything about Niko’s past so no shit they’d know about the deal. Common sense would tell you that Karen’s boss called her and told her where to be. Niko doesn’t rat on anybody out so that sin where he says he isn’t a rat makes no sense. Packie can’t be pissed cause even he’s being used by the Pegarinos! That’s like you and friend doing a job together then your friend gets pissed that the boss tells you two to do a job, did you have a brain fart cause Packie explains this during his second mission that his family works for the pegarinos since the McReary family aren’t as big as they were back in the day. Niko has put effort in finding Florian and Darko! He’s just trying to scrape together enough money to survive with his cousin! I believe in one of the player initiated calls he tells Roman he’s working with Ray and that he might be able to help him find Florian or Darko. There’s so much more but I have a headache cause my god Also the driving is amazing! Ya’ll just have a skill issue!

I never understood how people think Dimitri is a good villain. He does absolutely nothing in the game. His betrayal isn’t as impactful as Big Smoke’s or because you only do several missions with him and he’s not likable like Big Smoke or badass like Micah Bell, so you have no reason to be caught off guard. He betrays you and is absent until the end of the game, I totally forgot about his character other than a couple of phone calls until that mission.

[@WHYAREWEHAVINGTHISCONVERSATION]

It never ever makes any sense to me either. Its never ever said why he killed off his initial friend. Then for absolutely no reason whatsoever has it out for Niko. And only Niko. When Niko did fuck all to him. Not only that Dimitri is more or less completely forgotten about up until the end of the game where the Mafia boss turns up and says hello yeah I need your help but you need to work with.

[@operationangel7940]

I agree with everything except the “Badass like Micah Bell” bit. The thing with Big Smoke and Micah is that you had more time and interaction with them, as well as more time to see the twist coming after the fact. In Big Smoke’s case, you see him constantly talking to CRASH and clearly has clashes with Sweet over their gang direction. Micah, by contrast, is clearly a murderous psychopath with zero redeeming qualities. A betrayal from Micah is so obvious that you could spot it from Mars. Dimitri’s betrayal, on the other hand, comes a bit too fast with little interaction. You can’t see the cracks easily on a second take, let alone a first take. Only by getting the “bad ending” of the game will you see that Dimitri betrays every single person he deals with.

[@logger22]

@@operationangel7940 nah I think you’re just hate Micah, and you’re supposed to. That means he is a good villain Dimitri’s betrayal isn’t impactful at all because it happens after like 4 missions and he doesn’t do shit the entire game than run that ruskie mouth of his. Micah’s betrayal wasn’t expected because nobody thought he was a rat. It was implied that Molly or Abigail may have been the rat before Milton revealed the truth to Arthur. Micah isn’t badass because of his betrayal, he’s just a badass because he is one to begin with. By chapter 6 everyone knew he was going to be an antagonist but nobody thought he was the main one, everyone thought Dutch or Milton was.

[@AHappyBlackGuy]

@@logger22 Dude if you didn’t think Micah would betray you you were asleep the entire game. Dimitri’s betrayal wasn’t meant to be shocking. He was never Niko’s friend and it happens the literal next mission you kill Faustin which he warned Niko Dimitri will turn on him too. And if you say Dimitri does nothing throughout the game then you didn’t pay attention. Not only does Dimitri hunt Niko and Roman down but his organization proves to be a burden for the police, the Commision and other mob families, politicians, etc. He leagues with other mobsters and you fight his faction in several missions. The mayor says Russian organized crime (aka Dimitri) is even worse than the Mafia and wants to put it to an end. He blackmails politicians. Dimitri has major influence throughout the game even if he himself is not physically present.

It's very strange that there were no police at Frankie's funeral, when I played I distinctly remember there being at least one police officer in the cutscene, and that I didn't receive a wanted level for the rest of the mission resulting in police on the street shooting at only the Albanians. There are actually a few missions we're wanted levels are disabled but this is amongst the most obvious since it takes place on the streets instead of an abandoned warehouse or factory.

[@AHappyBlackGuy]

12:43 you’re not correct in your commentary here, both sides committed war crimes and people were ‘disappeared’ from both sides, so what niko is saying is actually plausible

One thing you must remember, is that Niko was a child/teen soldier. His in game age is 30, Darko and Bernie refer to what they experienced as 12-13 years ago, most likely confirming that they fought during the Bosnian conflict, given the time frame. Point is, all sides of that war committed atrocities, making Niko a product of an extremely gruesome environment, he didn't get a chance to grow up any other way, but was still able to maintain a moral compass and a compassionate heart. Niko is a complex character, he carries guilt and regret with him, but has accepted that he's too far gone.. He knows that he's a bad man, but wishes he wasn't. I don't think he should be singled out for the war he grew up in.

[@the_sam_strong]

Sin 139 - it is stated many times in the game that Niko didn't know where Dimitri was hiding and viceversa until Pegorino gives him the location of where Dimitri would have been that day, that's how Niko can finally have a shot at killing him. Sin 140 - this is hardly a game's sin since it gives you the choice to hang out with kate and get to know her better and make her and niko grow closer which makes her death not as sad as Roman's but still very tragic since Kate was Niko's only chance at having a normal life since she was a good person who he wanted to one day marry like Roman did with Mallorie, but Pegorino killing Kate ruined all that for Niko and forced him back into the criminal world. If you were too lazy to hang out with kate and explore all the available dialogues niko can have with her it's your problem, not the game's. Sin 147 - I disagree killing either Dimitri or Pegorino is a lot more satisfying then killing any of the bland gta 5 villains who I never cared much for, some barely even appear in the game like Stretch and the chinese mob boss (I even forgot the name) not to mention how there's not even a final boss fight in 5 with any of the game's main villains since you easily kill them all and only really get to fight their men (countless and nameless npcs with automatic guns). Dimitri betrayed Niko, destroyed Roman's house and job, kidnapped him and tried multiple times during the game to kill Niko and Pegorino literally destroyed Niko's only chance to be done with the criminal world and have an happy and good life with a woman he was falling for. And they actually put up a fight at the end, so to me killing them was a lot satisfying. You might have played the game, but just to sin it, without really get into it or understand it. Also only like a few sins were valid, you made many more errors in your other sins that show how you weren't really paying too much attention to the story but it would take me too much to write all the wrong things you said in this vid. Plus I suspect you're a gta 5 fanboy so of course you don't like 4.

[@Artemas_16]

Sin 140 - it IS kinda game's fault. I was dating Kiki half of the game and was content with it, not cheating on her with other girls. And then game just says that this is BS and Niko all this time loved Kate after exchange of words in two cutscenes. So if the game wants me to choose GF and date her, its better not to cancel my choice and expect me to care for other gal dying in cutscene. Especially if they made her death canon.

[@the_sam_strong]

@@Artemas_16 did you pay attention to the dialogues niko has with kiki? He doesn't really like her because she is kind of a cheap girl who has some sort of obsession with criminals and in fact most of her exes are her own clients (since she is a lawyer) who were criminals who committed brutal crimes and eventually even them ended up breaking up with her, from what she says, some dumped her because she became too clingy and obsessive and others because they ended up in jail and got life sentence. Niko even mentions "I think I know now why you wanted to date me". Kiki is sick in the head. That is also proven if you date another girl while dating her, and she'd often show up outside the restaurant making a scene. Whether you liked/dated Kate or not, storywise Kate is the only girl that Niko will truly like because unlike the other girls he meets in the game she actually has principles.

45:01 Dartigan. Yes, it actually does matter. When Niko calls Bernie that he spared Darko, he will actually feel happy for Niko and says they should throw a party. But if you killed Darko, then he will say that you got what you wanted, revenge. It also has an impact on Niko too, he says if you spare him, he feels a little better because the greater punishment is leaving him to suffer from his drug addiction, and it also finally stops his desire for revenge. I wonder how you sleep at night.

[@Artemas_16]

Yeah but besides one conversation and one phone call, it isn't changing plot overall. Imagine if all little choices were actually accounted for the ending, so if Niko cares more about the money and kills everyone he's pointed at, he automatically takes the Deal. But if he's letting go and other stuff, he goes for Dmitrii.

[@StivKobra]

I mean, yeah, Niko most likely did kill civilians. But there is a limit to blatant anti-Serbian chauvinism, my guy. Serbia has also taken responsibility for the Bosnian war (even though it was the entity of the Republic of Srpska, not Serbia, who was engaged in the war, because Yugoslavia, or rather just Serbia, was under sanctions and was forbidden from supporting Republic of Srpska. Serbia extradited a lot of alleged war criminals, so your claim that they don't take responsibility is just wrong and stems from hatred and ignorance). There have been a lot of stried for peace and reconciliation, so I am not sure what Balkan discourse, if any, you have been watching. You are treating it like only the Serbs have committed war crimes. If you had seen the Hague tribunal even recently, a lot of Bosniak and Croat leaders have been convicted of horrible crimes as well. But hey, Serbia wants to be friends with Russia, so let's just blame Serbia and make them evil, I guess. That's just chauvinism, my guy.

@@aircraftnut15Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian are the same language. Only real difference is the spelling cause Serbs use the Cyrillic alphabet. Only other real difference between the 3 is religion. Aside from those two things, they’re ethnically the same people whether they like to admit it or not.

Say what you want about GTA 4 and it's expansions, the character physics were the most entertaining in the series. I've also spent more time playing them than GTA 5, while the story and features were a lot better in 5, it lacked something that 4 had which kept me playing.

This video is totally nitpicking. These are common video game tropes.

Too common. Even in the 2000s video games had things you could poke holes in.

Niko doesn't actually understand Jacob, like you literally hear him go from saying what constantly to kinda understanding him by the end of the game

[@Supahdenning]

Yeah he literally just gives filler responses like "Sure" and "Yeah I get what you mean" for the first several missions, the player is supposed to infer he isn't understanding anything but doesn't want to aggravate him.

[@spazdonwillz4474]

@@Supahdenning yeah exactly. As the gamer we are probably understanding Jacob I know I did, but the whole point is Niko isn't meant to, that's the dissonance most people don't understand, what they themselves know and what the character is meant to know

@@spazdonwillz4474 Most people don't understand Jacob, but since replaying the game several times and also getting into Jamaican music, my understanding has improved drastically. So I basically went through the same arc Niko did.
