One hell of a subplot to tie both Nico, Johnny, and Luis's stories together. But it seems kind of crazy, even by modern criminal standards, for all sides to go to all that trouble and loose so many thugs over a measly 2 million in diamonds. Tis fitting, and deservingly ironic, that a homeless man comes out the winner in all of this. Mega kudos to Rockstar for having one hell of a writing staff.

Just so you should know, I'm pretty sure that the diamonds were possessed by Ray Bulgarin in Europe, and that the cook stole them from him in Eastern Europe and fled on the same boat Niko did to Liberty City to escape with the diamonds before Bulgarin got wise to it. Because of this, and because of Niko, Bulgarin traveled to America to hunt down the cook AND the diamonds. By the time he found the cook, they were already offloaded to Tony and his crew, so he killed the cook and put his head in the box as a message to Luis and Tony. We know the rest from there. :)

[@vashbabe]

This whole diamond story is an amazing subplot that makes GTA 4 great. It's just somewhat funny how all of them fight for diamonds but no one gets to keep them. This reminds of a Pink Panther classic episode in which there was pink panther himself in the stone age, the white guy, a small green dinasour and a big blue dinasour, they all fight for a bone to eat but in the end a crocodile gets it.

I figured out that the diamonds were the true link between the three games. That and drugs in general, but the diamond story is a little more subtle so I found it interesting.

[@wesim8589]

It's not subtle at all

[@tenchimuyo69]

Wesim It doesn't seem as obvious as the more generic and common crimes committed throughout the game. Drugs and the like. Honestly, I'd still vote drugs as being more valuable than diamonds could ever be, simply because there will always be more.

[@wesim8589]

tenchimuyo69 There are actually lots of diamonds, there's just a monopoly of them. Drugs would be more valuable if there was a monopoly on them. Also, the diamonds are the most obvious link. Especially when the characters from the expansions and IV literally show up on your screen in the diamond missions. This only happens once in either the heroin or cocaine missions (can't remember which). When I was playing through this I wasn't sure if the heroin was connected or not and I thought the cocaine in each of them were all completely different batches. With the diamonds they directly reference the other games.

That's because they had a lot of space to refine and improve each arc in each expansion. They didn't have that luxury for GTA5 when they decided to produce three character arcs at the same time. That why 5's story feels watered down. It really should had been incrementally added on the same way 4 and its DLCs were, but Rockstar just had to be too lofty with their ambitions.

That's the difference. GTA IV has 3 different storylines with some branches that connect with one another, intertwining them in a great way. GTA V has one storyline with a few branches sticking out, with those branches belonging to three different characters. While GTA V is fun, GTA IV has a dark side to it that gives me that melancholic feeling that GTA V just can't. GTA V focuses too much on the "bling". It shows off modern graphics, modern features, stuff that appeals a lot more to the kids and teenagers. GTA IV though, was about three men, who were great on the inside, and their lives pretty much went to hell. And even then, only two of them survived it, while the one who didn't died in - and you'll never guess - GTA FUCKING V! *insert laugh here* Also, just so we're clear, GTA IV refers to EFLC as well, they're still practically GTA IV expansions.

Speaking truth, I feel really sorry for Ray Boccino. He was backstabbed both by Johnny and Niko (as an order from Pegorino), while his only sin was greed (not in a amoral way). However he is far away from dirty and disloyal actions. In opposite: he helped both protagonists in finding “those special someone” (Florian and Brian) but Niko and Johnny payed shit to him. Niko told Phil Ray’s “a rat doing an impression of a man” (which is not true in my opinion), and Johnny ripped him off with no good reason (just because he is guido scum or something) by strealing $2 000 000. In this case with Johnny Ray’s anger (kidnapping and burning Jim in orded to get Johnny) is becoming more or less understandable. Well, he just became a scapegoat for everyone

OR Make some kind of twist where the diamonds are cursed, someone stole them and the whole shit storm starts over again....

If Jerry is a corrupted busiunss man, not that I'm saying you said it, it won't be inconsistent. Think about it, he might always wanted to be succesful, and as we know, almost any succesful bussinusmen in the GTA Series are either corrupted, or have criminal affilations. Anyway, thanks for your input, I still think that the diamonds should be mentioned, at least.

[@DJC-10]

Fuckin agreed GTA V story sucked

[@TheJotaroKujo]

While GTA V is an improvement over IV in aspects like gameplay, vehicles, guns and such it was a complete letdown after IV in others. From little things from melee combat or throwing objects to big things like the story. I don't blame R* for this, I blame the majority of people (aka, spoiled brats or downright idiots). I see a lot of people complaining about IV for being "too dark". Too fucking "dark" is a complaint about a game for mature audiences only. Can you believe this shit? IV's story was a fucking masterpiece. This clip proves it, it's a step beyond a great film, a serious work of art. I honestly wish they go for VI for that that they went in IV, although it's unlikely, because they'll listen to people who want to play this game for shits and giggles and not for the story, sad, but can't blame them for going for selling big after all the investment a GTA requires. Joke's on them though, because R* is actually making fun of them and they don't even realize it.

+The Clown Prince of Crime GTA 5 story was pretty average for a video game and even for a grand theft auto...,ok that was not an masterpiece like grand theft auto 4,but you're seriously overestimate GTA 4's story...,GTA 5 was more like a movie,not realistic,the bad guys were fucking lame,the end is lazy,but at least we got humor,the characters are well write,I mean shit is a fucking GTA,it's stay a gods game,don't disown it cause you wanna be a freaking nostalgia hipster...

[@mareoio4141]

@@vladb.3690 One word, *opinions*.

[@jessestein803]

Yeah, I enjoyed IV more I feel like Niko was a lot more developed them Franklin or Michael or Trevor. Luis to me was a bit like Franklin he was a man from the heights trying to be a better person just like how Franklin wanted to get out of the ghetto and make better money. Niko was a guy looking for vengeance cause of his past from the war. Searched for a decade To find the person who betrayed him. He’s out for revenge, Michael or Trevor didn’t remind me of Niko or Johnny. Michael was a treacherous snake and very depressive person. He was an asshole to his family. But got better in the end. Trevor, honestly I can relate to this character somewhat and Niko. Trevor is truly insane but very sympathetic and loyal to the fault after all the shit Michael did he didn’t kill him. And In the End when the mission “The Time Comes” he didn’t help Franklin kill Michael and in the other ending Michael helps Franklin kill Trevor shows you what the bastard he really is. I really don’t like Michael. He’s a dick. Trevor I can late too. Maybe not the cannibalism,incest and bestiality but the sympathy and loyalty of Trevor I like. Trevor is really just a really fucked up guy. Johnny is a cool character shame what happened to him in V. I feel Billy and Ashley really fucked him up. And made him weak. And he lost his spirit after GTA IV. I feel Trevor just ended the suffering for him. Look at the Johnny in V he’s a meth head mess. Honestly I blame him for getting Jim killed too cause I feel trying to screw Ray boccino over was a bad idea and contributed to him getting Jim killed. But I feel I blame billy grey and Ashley mostly for what happened to Johnny. “Lost but not forgotten” but I feel IV the characters were more developed in IV then V.

When I was about 12-13, I was playing this game and the DLC over and over and over again, put in so many hours and replays of it before the release of GTA V. The hours of reliving the story of its overarching plot threads and playing the multiplayer constantly with my online buds at the time, with so much role play and overall good times. My only missed opportunity was not getting all its achievements for it given how much I’ve played it. I often come back to watching videos of this game and went ahead and 100% this game on PC now as an adult. Truly an amazing game. It’s criminally underrated how this game is overshadowed by V, and various other great titles. This is may or may not be a controversial take, but for me, this is THE PERFECT GTA to date in regards of its story. The idea of just 3 protagonists lives being intertwined by these arcs in the criminal underworld of Liberty City is really compelling which excels infinitely more than V’s attempt of a trio-based linear storyline. With my nerdy nostalgic ramble now over, I’d like to thank you Whatever for making these videos and reminding how fantastic this game is and how good my childhood was. :)
