Is Niko Bellic your favourite?

[Telimaktar]

Niko but CJ is a very close second. There were more cutscenes in SA that CJ's tone and emotion were at odds with the moment. Whereas Niko's voice acting almost always suited the situation and so was a much more believable character.

Tommy was best, Niko seccond.

 

Carl's brains must have fallen out of his ass though.

[madddoggsrhymes]

im sorry, but u r all wrong, macca from SA was, is, and will for ever be the greatest character in GTA, we need the next game to have his masturbating, optimistic, drug taking, mancunian crazy bastard as the lead character IMO,

[Master TJ]

Claude isnt a character people. Just because you like GTA3 or have fond memories of it doesnt mean you can make it an excuse to put him above real characters.

Claude's bio, for the ignorant people...

 

 

Claude Speed - The first ever 3D protagonist of the series. Not so popular like Tommy, or CJ, but is still the greatest character in the trilogy. Why? Claude is a sociopath, a person who doesn't care about himself, or people surrounding him. He strives towards one goal. Revenge. His silent type makes him even more admirable because it really shows how a person doesn't need to talk to get things done, he's a man that lets his actions speak for him.

 

Character bio: Claude Speed, born in San Fierro, owned a run-down garage in Doherty and probably bought it to pull off a real estate scam, which he did on CJ. He met Catalina in '92, while she was still Carl's girlfriend, whom Carl had neutral feelings about. Claude lost to CJ in a street race, which gave him the opportunity to pull off a scam on CJ, giving him a pinkslip to his garage in Doherty. The couple were allegedly roaming the US pulling off various scams, robbing small time banks, liquor stores and such. In 2001, 9 years later, he and Catalina were robbing a bank in Mainland Liberty, where Claude was suddenly double crossed, shot in the chest and left for dead by Catalina, who left him for Miguel. He was treated for gunshot wounds in Liberty state Penitentiary, and was sent to a transfer to another prison. He befriended an explosives expert named Mullan, also

known as "8 Ball" in prison. As the routine transfer was taking place, the Colombian Cartel stopped the convoy in an attempt to kidnap an old oriental gentleman, who was also being transferred along with Claude and Mullan. The Cartel bombed the bridge, damaging it tremendously, and accidentally gave Mullan and Claude a second chance. Police HQ was hacked, so their bios were deleted along with their criminal records. Mullan had some ties with the local Mafia, the Leone family, who Claude began to work with. As he slowly got to the top, becoming a made man, he again, was double crossed by Salvatore Leone, the don, who Claude later killed. Running off with Maria, Salvatore's wife, to Staunton, Claude now started to work with

the Japaneze Yakuza, who's co-leader, Asuka, Claude had something more than just a business relationship. Claude was later introduced to Ray Machowski, a bent cop who Claude helped to clear his name. Ray introduced him with a psychopatic rich businessman named Donald Love, who asked Claude to kill Kenji Kasen, the leader of the Yakuza, disguised as a Colombian, so he'd provoke a war between the two rival gangs. Asuka thought that Miguel killed Kenji, her brother, and after a chain of events, got hold of him and tortured him. After doing a series of jobs for Asuka, which were mainly attempts to foil the Cartel's plans and ruin them, Claude found Asuka lying dead, and with a note saying that Maria, now Claude's girlfriend, got kidnapped and that Catalina wants 500,000$ if Claude intends to get her back. Claude went to the deal, and again got cheated over, and next moment, had a gun pointed to his head. Claude punched the gunman in a flash and started to chase Catalina, who had captured Maria on a dam. After killing hordes of Columbian gunmen, Claude managed to shoot down Catalina's helicopter, and rescue Maria. After a few moments, Maria started nagging and boring Claude, and he shot her in the head. Claude was allegedly captured some time later, and was cryo-frozen. He was released from the cryonic prison and woke up in Anywhere City, in the year 2013, with no memory of his past actions. Claude did various jobs for the local gangs, and soon, again got double crossed by them, and killed the leades, which gave him the title "King of the city".

dude, you need to get out more

[-nikobellic-]

cant believe CJ is second and Tommy is third. WTF is wrong with them voters?!

[MyDirtySecretary]

Niko is my favourite. I never get the impression with him that hes lesser than anybody else. I always just feel like its a matter of time before hes gonna be the king pin. He just needs money first. Not to mention the fact that he cracks jokes all the time to clearly dangerous people. He doesnt care, cuz he knows he'd just break their face if they tried and funny business.

[ceedot]

Niko has the best character.

 

 

You get to know his whole story, and you sort of connect, which you didn't really do with the others.

[BowZa28]

Niko, then Tommy,

 

EDIT: Why is CJ beating tommy, i mean c'mon!!

[cps82]

 

Niko has the best character.

Yep, that was the intention as Dan and Sam said many times

 

Niko easily. Got to love his humour.

[nabo45]

I'm gonna have to go with Niko. He reminds me of myself the most. And hes a funny bastard too .

[-nikobellic-]

I'm gonna have to go with Niko. He reminds me of myself the most. And hes a funny bastard too .

I think there's a bit of Niko in all of us.

[TandemRapper]

Hated vic from vcs most by far. was really worried that the main character in gta 4 was gonna be way too serious like vic since vcs was the last one to come out be4 the latest one. But Niko is definitely up there with Tommy.

[Mr_Prickles]

Niko Beliæ is a Serb!!! haahahahhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTA4#Plot

 

In your FACE Croatians!!!

 

hahahahahaha.

Wow wikipedia! Rock solid proof right there

Um, opening cutscene:

 

"Your English is better than my Serbian!"

 

-Roman

 

That's pretty blatantly showing that they are MOST-LIKELY Serbian...

[Ramzy]

But all the Italians call Niko a Polack during firefights... He must be Polish

 

Edit: Lol, no one loves Vic

[Jew4Life]

Not played GTA IV yet, so I'm voting Tommy. How can CJ be on top 3?

 

He could hardly stand up for himself, not cause he was 'in a bad situation' but more like 'I'm CJ and Im a big fat pussy who does whatever people tell me'...Seriously, the only cool thing about him was that he was in a gang...sorta...

[Miami13]

I have played and completed every GTA since III, including LCS and VCS, 100% and this really isn't a fair poll. Niko is by FAR the greatest GTA character ever and IMO one of the best ever in any video game.

 

1.) Niko Bellic

2.) Tommy Vercetti

3.) Claude

4.) CJ

5.) Vic

6.) Toni

[Hobdal]

Niko, by far and away is my favourite GTA character.

 

Followed by Tommy in second and Claude in third.

[Algonquin Assassin]

Realised I didn't even give a damn list for my favourite characters. lol

 

1:Niko

2:Tommy

3:Vic

4:Claude

5:Toni

6:CJ

 

Amazing how so many people don't like GTA IV, yet Niko is clearly a favourite.

[AdZ767]

I have not played the PSP GTA's but i have played and completed all the console GTA's.

 

Imo Niko is easily & by far the most intresting main character from any GTA ive played (and most other games come to think of it) Claude would be my 2nd favourite in the GTA series. As for CJ, personally I really cant stand that muppet at all, it was a real chore forcing myself to play him in SA, so glad thats out the way with now.

 

Lets hope we see more of Niko in the future , and i hope to see less of CJ.

 

[gtamodder]

1) Niko

2) CJ

3) Claude

4) Toni

5) Vic

6) Tommy

 

Imo Niko is the greatest. Why tommy last, because he looks 40-50 to me, and I hate the look of his face and voice. Thats why.

dude, you need to get out more

lol I was thinking the same thing lol...

[screrkio]

niko is my favourite without any doubt

 

he's one of the first game characters that actually has a personality

i think that why the story is good in IV coz u start to care what happens to the dude

 

if you know what i mean

[linedraw]

Either Fido or Niko. I picked Fido.

[Bad Apple]

I related to CJ the most and loved San Andreas the best. Niko is close second though because he had decisions where I actually felt bad about especially Darko, i was sittin there like 5 min deciding what to do about him. And there were many ppl in the game I wish I didn't have to kill like dat prison break irish dude.

 

In conclusion CJ my fav, Niko close Second, Tommy, Claude, Toni, haven't played Vice City Stories cuz my psp got stolen.

[Claude GTA3]

Niko Beliæ is a Serb!!! haahahahhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTA4#Plot

 

In your FACE Croatians!!!

 

hahahahahaha.

Boli me kurac sta je neki glupi debil iz GTA 4 Srbin. Moze bit i iz Afrike pa sta.

[DeadShock]

Tony from LCS and then Bellic. Poor Vic, nobody voted for him.

[Rashon.]

Typical no one voted for Toni or Victor. Tommy's still my favorite. Niko's and easy second.

[Gog]

Yeah Niko by far, and then Tommy.

im with this guy...

And I am with you.

 

GTA IV's characters are the best in any GTA game so far.

[SanGS]

I would love to see this question asked 12 months from now when the Novelty of GTA:IV's release has worn off on some of you guys, Niko is a pretty good character but i'm honestly surprised by the landslide...

 

Tommy for me, Niko/Claude for 2nd.
