ds143 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi there. I love the game so far, one of the best games I've ever played. I'm about 35% done, and can easily go from mission to mission, beating one after another. The thing is... I don't get it. Sure, I understand that Roman is Niko's cousin who lured him to the U.S., and that he has a taxi cab company. But, now that I've progressed far enough into the game, I'm getting more and more confused. Who's Packie? Vlad? Little Jacob? Elizabeta? Dwayne? Playboy X? I've done their missions, but don't understand their relationship to Niko (perhaps because I skip the cutscenes and just want to get into the action haha). Can anyone clear this up for me, or help me find a place where I can learn all this? Oh, and where do babies come from? Thanks in advance.

Vercetti21 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 ...but don't understand their relationship to Niko (perhaps because I skip the cutscenes and just want to get into the action haha)... There's your reason. If you want to know who these characters are, watch the cutscenes. The cutscenes are the story.

Mooseoh Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Don't worry, I watched all the cutscenes and still didn't under the whole story or why Niko was doing what he was. It wasn't that great of a story at all... people would come into the story out of nowhere, then would leave it without even you knowing.

psfreak Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 In a nutshell.....Niko came to LC in search of someone or thing, he realizes Roman's bullsh*t and is screwed and tapped out of money so he does some work for all these people e.g Roman, LJ, Brucie, The McCreary Bros, Manny, UL Paper....etc. In return he gets an ass amount of money for it and in the process finds his main goal to come to LC . That is what you missed in the cut scenes, oh and by the way IDIOT.

Boys and Girls; I give you the 8th wonder of the world. The all mighty non-functional, non intellegent, gamer. Just watch the damn story and sydm.

I thought this game was going to be a story about Niko, trying to find some answers to his life; instead it was the story of Liberty City.

33stradale Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 why would you ask, anyone who properly retells the story for you is a bigger idiot.... get what you paid for... cutscenes in this game are half the fun but their not even that long(unlike mgs where cutescnes are like half the game, and not that fun after the first year!!!) my advise: buy mgs and you'll get about2-3 hours play time!!!
