ROCKSTARmentality Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Well i was recently thinking... What if 'that special someone he was looking for was a woman, his romantic interest possibly his wife?? This may be way off, and if so im sorry for that but... Idk how realistic that is, but what if his wife was taken from him or something. Your thoughts? if this is a repost, sorry, and if you disagree, do it nicely, we're a GTA4 brotherhood, no need for haters. I just thought that would be an interesting twist... such a tuff guy with such a soft spot Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310325-were-all-looking-for-that-special-someone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceedot Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm thinking it's a man. Actaully.... I'm not sure. Exactly why Rockstar havn't mentioned anything about 'the person'. Maybe someone in the military force with him? Killed his friend? Something like that?

Blind Joe Death Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm guessing the special someone is probably just some guy that screwed him over back in Eastern Europe or something. It doesn't really bug me that much, we'll see who it is when the game comes out.

Slamman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 They said it made no sense, though I made several comments in reply... I get that from time to time, however, I thought it was worthy of future reply as well when we are in the thick of the game and trying to unravel the puzzle, however, I think Rockstar are keeping this particular a large part of our mission, giving Niko his relentless drive, as it appears from the trailers, he's not concerned with laying too low. Almost in stark contrast to the first trailer where he appears ready to shake off his past problems Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310325-were-all-looking-for-that-special-someone/#findComment-1057468420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabalous Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Niko's father maybe ? or anyone is connected with niko in " Bellic " family ? but .. Niko says : We all looking for that special someone . that means roman and another charcters plus we " the players " all of us looking for the special someone with Niko . it is hard to think about it , we are going to know when we get the game .

mcgriz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Unless Niko is looking for more than one person (very possibly) he says in the trailer "I guarantee we will find this man" or something very similar to those words.

Robinski Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Nah, i reckon it's somebody who's done something really bad to Niko (not gonna guess what, that'd be speculating too much). I don't think he's looking for a loved one. OFF TOPIC: Ceedot how long have you been a Z? (Ignore if its been ages, just struck me as odd all the messages about Platty you're spouting lately.

nam Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 think about it for a minute niko only went to libirty city because roman told him to so he's not going to have gone there to look for someone its probably just in one of the missions where you need to find someone Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310325-were-all-looking-for-that-special-someone/#findComment-1057472668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexo Slim Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) It's a figure of speech. Niko walks in the taxi depot a man looks up to him puzzled. Someguy: Your looking for someone? Niko: We are all looking for that special someone.(Figure of speech!!) I'm thinking maybe Niko needed to speek to Roman or something...

Niko: We are all looking for that special someone.(Figure of speech!!) I'm thinking maybe Niko needed to speek to Roman or something... However it was mentioned several times in that trailer and also I believe in the latest previews... I doubt it is something as minor as what you are suggesting.

Niko: We are all looking for that special someone.(Figure of speech!!) I'm thinking maybe Niko needed to speek to Roman or something... The fact that he is looking for someone is mentioned throughout the trailer, it is the main idea of the trailer. My thoughts are that he is looking for the people that have betrayed Roman, maybe that is why Roman is where he is.

BlackProject Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Its a man. Like someone already pointed out Niko says "I guarantee that you find this man" he also says "We have to find him" Yeah i thought that too but i have an IDEA! of what he may be talking about. It could be that one of the first missions.(of course i do not know whether this is one of the first missions) When you have to collect the Memory Stick for Francis McReary, it may hold information that may stop him from doing something. Instead of the plot making you think that he has not done anything wrong and this certain someone is going to put him in trouble. It could hold plans for something. So if you do not collect it then Francis McReary will not be able to complete his plans. The guy you have to kill maybe just threatening to destroy the info. So Niko then finds out that when he killed that guy to regain the memory stick for the good. He actually did it for the worst. So now Francis McReary has done one with the info. and you " HAVE TO FIND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE " Francis McReary to you and Niko!

Ryder 556 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It's a figure of speech. Niko walks in the taxi depot a man looks up to him puzzled. Someguy: Your looking for someone? Niko: We are all looking for that special someone.(Figure of speech!!) I'm thinking maybe Niko needed to speek to Roman or something... Cant because in the second trailer at 0:18-0:20 niko says "For ten years iv been searching" and also at 0:14-0:16 niko is talking to roman and he says "i need to know what happend" so he could be refering to why roman is in debt or some other reason. At 0:33-0:34 he says "we have to find him". Anyway i belive he's looking for someone who screwed him over ten years ago and in GTA IV that would be 1998 the same year as LCS so it could have a connection with Tony Cipprioni(sp?) and what he did to get away from LC.And near the end he says to some one maybe the dude he's looking for "im th one who survived. And a bit off topice 0:51-0:55 is indeed gameplay.

k_jap Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It could be that the story-line is centered on this Special Someone: Finding him or her and - most likely - get revenge is the "goal" of the game, unlike previous GTAs, where the prime goal was simply to take over the city (in one way or another). If the "rags to slightly better"-angle is to be believed, they obviously need a very different goal or ultimate object this time around.

BobbyUK Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 the someone special, being a target for revenge during the whole course of the game seems a tad silly. in a game like GTA you have too long a gameplay time and too many mini-games to keep you busy, it will just feel wrong that halfway through Niko's vendetta, he goes on a date. the someone special might been introduced further on in the game, nobody knows when the scenes in the trailer actually appear in the storyline Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/310325-were-all-looking-for-that-special-someone/#findComment-1057474061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but just because it's the ultimate goal doesn't necessarily mean that every mission will be about it. The special someone could be lurking in the background all the time without actually being in the picture before the later stages. That would be a classic enough plot. I'm thinking the story must include some explanation and/or justification for Niko's actions that go in a whole different direction than previous games, which have all been about gaining control, taking over turf, getting to the top, y'know. Whereas now it's been stated we're not dealing with someone who's going to end up King of the City. Well, we'll see. And just exactly what does "slightly better rags" mean anyway?
