Did Niko ever come off as slightly crazy?

Allen14n I didn't understand, in GTA we play as a criminal, criminals do bad things, so what? Niko was a mercenary. But I think it was wrong when he killed Ray, because Ray helped him a lot. But for example, Tom Goldberg, he didn't even knew him, so kill him "wasn't a problem".

I know your english isn't good enough to understand a word about the game, but Niko was ordered to kill Ray because Jimmy was afraid he's a snitch. You know about the omertá? It's the code of silence the mob uses, and in simple english it's 'don't snitch'. Compreendo?

Niko killed Boccino because Pegeroni ordered it. If Niko didn't kill Ray, than Jimmy would have killed Niko, remember that Jimmy only sent Niko on missions because he thought Niko may have been the rat.

Hi I agree with you, there wasn't reason for Niko to kill Ray, he was very helpful to Niko

People who played the DLC's told you he's a bastard and you still insist that Ray's good because he's handsome.

That's so right.

I love how you added the spoiler tags in your post.

 

Anyways, yeah, Niko is a pretty tragic character. He did some terrible things in the war and watched his friends die. I would be surprised if he came out of all that happy. Darko was right, in a way, to say that Niko is a hypocrite, but not to the extent that he would kill his best friends for some drugs. I think a lot of people are forgetting that Niko did a lot of things for many different reasons ultimately to bring him closer to the man he was looking for. But to me, personally, all that mattered was that Niko confronted Darko. And if you choose to spare the life of a killer -- one that, by the way, continues to destroy himself with his heroine addiction -- and have him live the rest of his life with the guilt of his actions, that is the ultimate victory. At least Niko could come out knowing that he was the one person who survived and nearly put a bullet in the man who was worse off than he was, you know?

One of the things I like about GTA4 is that while the charactors are all a bit nuts, they are crazy in ways that real people are crazy. As for Nico I think he is an idiot. But then I'm an idiot.

Niko's pretty intelligent but he has so much skill invested in violence and crime that he'd need a good, practical reason to stop and learn how to do something else, and even then, people he cares about would have to stop getting into the kind of trouble that pulls Niko back into the underworld. Everyone he knows is some kind of criminal or victim or both. He might be crazy to keep doing these things but he might also be crazy if he thought he could stop.

contract murder is a big buisness in LC, niko was just tryna get his sack (money) up. Lots of people do it tho its common doesnt make niko any crazier than the rest of the hitmen.
