Make Niko Bellic the main character, he feels more original, more charismatic, and likeable... Mike, T, and Franklin just feel too cliche...

Why didnt they just keep the map from GTA IV as well.

 

Oh and the missions were good in IV so they should have kept all the same missions too.

We all loved Niko Bellic. He was a refreshing change from the bland protagonists in the 3D universe.

Unfortunately, Niko Bellic is now retired. I don't know if he helps Roman run the cab business or finally convinced Kate to 'give herself up' but either way, Niko is now quiet, rich and most likely still depressed.

 

Maybe he'll be like Micheal and come out of his hole eventually, but the way I see it, Niko is retired in his prime. Let all the Trevors of the GTA underworld have some of the big scores too.

(Trevor fanboy here)

While Niko is my favourite GTA protagonist, I feel as though it wouldn't really work. Niko had his story, and by the end, he finished it all, it would be odd if for some reason he moved to Los Santos and got involved with others when he just wanted to stay low. He wanted to stay in Liberty City and stay out of trouble.

 

Besides, Michael Hollick would never return to do Niko, Rockstar really threw him aside after he finished his voice work, which was unfair, so I'm sure he wouldn't trust Rockstar again. I don't blame him.

There's always PC mods, I'll most likely have Niko in GTA V.

kiko bellic was terrible

Yeah that Kiko was annoying.

 

I'm with Bert on this one. Niko's the man, but it would've been odd if he was the protagonist. I thought the references were more than enough.

Niko Bellic was never depressed! He's just a serious guy, and he wanted revebge but he was never depressed. Michael was depressed.

Feeling sad, blue, when you are not satisfied with your life. This was how Michael felt. Niko Bellic did not was not depressed with his life. He was looking for revenge. Big difference, think you need to play the game again.

It's Hollywood, that's probably the point.

IV fans have officially become just as bad as SA fans.

Yay. Generalizations.

I like Niko. Hell, I liked Vlad. I never did want to kill him, despite him being a douche.

 

I don't think Niko himself would have worked, but maybe characters with more depth. Michael is "depressed", sure (although it's really more like a general dissatisfaction with life, which isn't the same thing. Who doesn't have gripes and grumbles?).

 

I haven't gotten to Trevor yet (yeah, I'm slow), but it seems this time around they didn't really get into the heads of the characters as much. Five minutes of Roman and you pretty much know what kind of person he is and how he lives his life. These new characters, they seem to be lacking a passion. Maybe that's because most of the missions seem to be geared toward the main plot. "Filling out" their lives doesn't seem as important this time.

Because Rockstar have never used protagonists in more than one title and most likely never will. Niko being in LS would feel out of place considering how he moved on from all the bullsh*t he went through in LC.

Because Rockstar has NEVER i repeat NEVER reused a Main character in a GTA game. And no, Claude Speed from GTA 2 is not the same Claude in GTA III

Yes he is!

 

 

I agree with you.

I would really like to see a future dlc for single player that utilised the three character slots for three past GTA protagonists. Don't mind which ones, as long as the story is good!

To be honest this is the first time I've ever seen someone say they wanted Niko to be the protagonist in GTA V. I've lost count of all the "Will CJ be in GTA V?" threads before GTA V was released and a few of us have disagreed with the idea anyway.

 

Stop blindly generalising people. It's getting annoying.

Because it's a new game.

 

 

If you select Packie for the Paleto Bay heist, he mentions that Niko has "probably died". That, or he may have left Liberty City back to Eastern Europe. Who knows.

I will trash the CD into the bin and destroy it.

What, Niko again?

If you love him then play IV again, simple.

I am so happy Rockstar don't repeat them in every new GTA. M T F were in some way much more fun for the game albeit it was just missing that wow feeling and ended up less memorable. But still it was different and fresh.

I like Niko but his story in IV was enough ... He had a long and very detailed story .... Michael had a detailed story as well ... I feel as tho Franklin and Trevor (especially Franklin,who felt like he was forced in the story ) needed more story time

They just needed a black guy in the game kinda like how they always need one token black guy in every teen movie with his only lines sayin "Damn!" "That's whack" and "Awww sh*tt"

Why didn't they just release GTA IV again ? Why didn't they release GTA IV again with CJ as the protagonist ? Why didn't they just stop making games at all, it can't get any better than Pong.
