Yeah, Rockstar killed off johnny to show how badass and psychotic Trevor was. If you ask me it would of had the same effect if it was just a random npc instead of johnny, he was a great character and they could of continued his story in another dlc rebuilding the lost, oh well. R.I.P JOHNNY KLEBITZ LOST BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!!

Wat? Story DLCs? You mean people only pay once?! Better check out the 1000 weapon skin DLCs that are in the making and cost $15 each! And buy some loot crates to get starting money and level boosts in GTA VI. Also you need VR goggles to play. And you need to buy a crafting permit for real money to craft workbenches and furnaces, ammunition and helicopters! You thought Trevor was badass? Next game you're playing as the reincarnation of Hitler killing all previous GTA characters in a glimpse and autofellatio the rest of the game with Jimmy from Bully.
@jordan999fire6 жыл бұрын
I love Johnny, he was my favorite GTA character, but I felt like killing Johnny could have opened up an even better possible DLC. The DLC would say that Trevor killed Johnny but let Clay, Terry, and Ashley (now clean) live. It takes place after the game and it has you playing as those 3. You are trying to build up the lost and to get revenge for Johnny. At the end you choose a side and then you take control of the characters whose side you pick and you kill the others.

aluminium immun Holy shit! I was actually listening to that and I just couldn't believe how people call that noise "music". It makes sound my Black Metal, Death Metal and pretty much all Metal like the most coherent music when you compare them. Because you know that a lot of people find Metal music incoherent and noisy. You need to develop your ears to actually enjoy and expand your music taste to like Extreme Metal. In the video you shared a lot people were defending that "music" and holy shit... What a bunch of pretentious assholes like that and call it "music." Pretty much they try to say the same things we say when we explain why we enjoy Metal music, but come on... They don't have any justification and they just look like a bunch of incomprehensible assholes that only intelligent people could like that noise. Yeah, right... I guess that I'm not smarter and deeper enough to find static enjoyable and to understand the context in it.

Thank you for covering this game's dlc. I always wanted to try the ballad of gay Tony and lost and the damned. You consistently post hilarious videos, yet you show your fans many games we wouldn't really know about otherwise. So thank you. In all of your hilarious videos, one thing always stands out to me; while yes, you are very funny and are quite fun to watch, you are genuine with your behavior. Markiplier was once my favorite youtuber, but he seems so... exaggerated with his actions. While I still like him, his over the top behavior comes off as fake sometimes. Like, he is constantly doing sponsor plugs. He sold out in many ways. I understand the need to make some income.. But he went the way of pewdiepie in my eyes. You don't scream every ten seconds. You may troll other players online during the rp ones, but it is always in a way where you are respectful. You don't scream, cuss needlessly, etc. You are just yourself. And that is enough. You are hilarious without having to overreact to everything. So thank you. Your videos are the best, and I can actually watch these videos around other people without having to worry about you screaming and dropping the f-bomb every ten seconds. Keep up the good work. Your fanbase very much enjoys you just being you. So thank you.

You have to think about it this way (i mean, you dont HAVE to, but it's the best way to look at it). GTA V Johnny and The Lost MC aren't the same from GTA IV. They're all messed up on meth and lost that edge. It's a sad downfall for them. Killing Johnny was definitely for shock but it made sense that he was a weaker version of who he once was.
@Xegethra6 жыл бұрын
Ismail Franklin was easily my favourite one, the other two had their moments but maybe they should have been NPCs you get missions from.....They got a bit eh after a while for me, although I still preferred Michael over Trevor any day. As for Johnny, I'd rather have just not seen him at all.....The Lost didn't need the same characters on the opposite coast. I know they are trying to connect the games lore by having them show up again but yeah it was just lame how they did it. They could have used any other characters. They killed him in the dumbest way possible, even lamer than Cole Phelps' death. Hell, I'd have taken him dying off screen in a shootout over what we got....but we didn't really need to hear from him again after GTA 4.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore- While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door- Only this and nothing more.” Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;-vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow-sorrow for the lost Lenore- For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Nameless here for evermore. And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me-filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating “’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door- Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;- This it is and nothing more.” Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, “Sir,” said I, “or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you”-here I opened wide the door;- Darkness there and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?” This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”- Merely this and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. “Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore- Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;- ’Tis the wind and nothing more!” Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore; Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door- Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door- Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, “Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore- Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning-little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door- Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as “Nevermore.” But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing farther then he uttered-not a feather then he fluttered- Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before- On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.” Then the bird said “Nevermore.” Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, “Doubtless,” said I, “what it utters is its only stock and store Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore- Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of ‘Never-nevermore’.” But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door; Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore- What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking “Nevermore.” This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom’s core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion’s velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o’er, But whose velvet-violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o’er, She shall press, ah, nevermore! Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor. “Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee-by these angels he hath sent thee Respite-respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore; Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!-prophet still, if bird or devil!- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted- On this home by Horror haunted-tell me truly, I implore- Is there-is there balm in Gilead?-tell me-tell me, I implore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!-prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us-by that God we both adore- Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” “Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting- “Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken!-quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted-nevermore!
