re: [ Character ] Niko

I like Niko, but I have to give my all time favorite GTA protagonist to Tommy Vercetti...Ray Liotta was an incredible choice for voice actor in that game. He just fit so perfectly into the whole vibe of the game. I really like Niko alot up to this point, but if we are talking favorites, I have to give him second best.

re: [ Character ] Niko

I like how he isn't completely ruled by wealth and such.

He values loyalty above most things.

I agree with you there.

I like how he went out of his way to make sure his cousin and family weren't humiliated by Vlad, and eventually killed him because of it.

Yeah, I liked that too.

Makes him seem more human.

Don't like the accent. Sometimes it's hard to understand with him.
Have you met Little Jacob?

Christ.
Have you met Badman? He's even worse
I love it when them two talk! I have a lot of Caribbean friends so it reminds me of them. The thing about the way they talk (and I think this is how they see it as well) is that you have to take in as much words as are made clear, then decipher how that forms a sentence because most of the time about half of the words are being ad-libbed, hence the term 'broken english'.

Give it a go, it's really satisfying knowing you are able to understand even one sentence from yardie bwoy dem, sorry couldn't resist that one.

re: [ Character ] Niko

Why must all the actors sound horrible with english and russian?
I was born in russia. only moved away at around 11 years old.
But my russian doesn't sound like that at all.

When Niko speaks in russian - he sounds exactly like: when he's speaking in english.
Like it's his second language and he never tried to speak it properly.

My mother is exactly the same. only with english. she sounds like a mix of german and robot. - like "a" and "the" dont even exist. lol and also says "hooligan action" - thats so damn funny. my mother. - her russian is 100% tho

I feel that way about the name pronounciations. For example Niko's surname, Bellic, is pronounced bellich and this other character Petrovic is also pronounce petrovich and yet every character in the game including Niko himself gets the name pronounciations wrong. It's how it's pronounced in eastern european countries so I don't get why they made that mistake. And for the record isn't Niko Croatian?

re: [ Character ] Niko

I just watched the introduction to "Museum Piece" and it's the first time that I've seen Niko is pushed over the edge. He's been annoyed before but usually he just makes genuinely funny jokes to cover it up. Very cool to see yet another side of him!

Do you mean his voice actor? Cause the character is from Serbia.

re: [ Character ] Niko

I really like Niko, enough that he's overtaken Tommy Vercetti as my favourite GTA character. He has so much depth, and he has quite a varying personality. He isn't just some badass who wan't to shoot everything he sees, he has feelings, and he shows them too.

quote Aphex
The accents are the only things that irritate me. Sometimes they aren't very clear or they just sound especially annoying. Other then that, Niko is definitely among the better protagonist. He's more realistic and dynamic then previous ones and just looks like he'd suit a GTA role.
I know, lets give everyone, no matter where they come from a generic american accent to please you...

Where i live, i soemtimes cant understand people who live 50 miles away from me. You learn to understand other accents

Unlike in err america and canada, where you all sound like little girls till 13 then the majority sound the same for the rest of there lives

re: [ Character ] Niko

CJ was better !

And always will be. Niko's great but he cant compare to the gangsta'ness of Carl Johnson!


But Niko's accent cracks me up though.

That's what I hated about CJ. I don't like the fact that every game in the world, practically, has to feature "gangsta's".

The whole Eastern European-immigrant/organized crime angle works so much better for me.
