Grovestreet G Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 How did you feel playing a foreign character? I've never played a game as a foreign character and thought it was a unique twist. You kind of start getting interested in the way foreigners are looked at in this country. Maybe I am being a little insightful, but I think it was really classy of Rockstar.

Untame Snail Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yep, I know exactly what it's like to be a Serbian-American after playing GTA IV. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469852-did-you-like/#findComment-1060342152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Ryan. Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I thought it was very interesting playing someone who was not only foreign, but had never been to America before. That's why I love the start of GTA IV with Niko arriving by boat, and the first thing he's struck by is LC's skyline. Niko had to adjust to the way things were done in America. This part I found extremely interesting seeing him adapt overtime. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469852-did-you-like/#findComment-1060342229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyDog Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Niko's not foreign to me, but all other protagonists are. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469852-did-you-like/#findComment-1060342472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbatron Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Niko's not foreign to me, but all other protagonists are. Cool, out of interest, how convincing do you find Michael Hollick's accent? The other thing I've thought, shouldn't Bellic be pronounced with a "ch" sound at the end, rather than a hard "k"? (Or are all the football pundits pronouncing Serbian player's names ending in "ic" wrongly? Lol!) Anyway, it makes sense for the first protagonist to be a newly arrived foreigner - that way, they are learning the city just as you are while you play the game. Conversely, the DLC characters have lived there a while, assuming most people will have played Niko's story first.

Raptomex Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 It's especially awesome when you play for the first time. The character has no idea what or where anything is, and neither do you.

GTA 360 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Niko's not foreign to me, but all other protagonists are. The other thing I've thought, shouldn't Bellic be pronounced with a "ch" sound at the end, rather than a hard "k"? Apparently it should, and also like the lawyer (or was it the LC papers man?) that said, Niko IS short for Nikolai. Nikos last name is pronounced in this way the same as Darco Brevic (the person Niko went to tht USA for revenge on)is pronounced BreviCH.

Yeah that's what I thought, although I think the ULPC guy gets I wrong too - he makes it sound like Belleek (a type of Irish china) to me! And Niko and Roman both pronounce it with a hard "k" too. Still, it sounds like a cool name how they say it anyway. I'm just quite suprised because R* is normally hot on details like this.

super_slav Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Niko was the best protagonist of all the GTA's in my opinion. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469852-did-you-like/#findComment-1060344778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn 7 five 11 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I liked the change it really was refreshing, some of the things niko said with his accent were pretty funny. although i don't think i want another European just yet, maybe an Asian guy next, like CTW. "I think our aunt would like it here" "yes she love crack dealers" Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/469852-did-you-like/#findComment-1060344847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vercetti27 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Niko annoyed me a lot, the guy tried to justify his murders and make out he was a good guy but he came over as a hypocrite. The fact that his only motivation was to get money and find darko really ruined it for me.
