Phil is perhaps the only main character in GTA IV who is not disloyal, unintelligent, a narcissist, psychopath or a douchebag. He generously hands out opportunities for work and doesn't demand too much in return. Dwayne and Little Jacob come close in comparison, but they are small potatoes.
@@sketchstevens5859 Phil actually engages in gunfights, has his life immediately in danger. He logically decided to escape. Ray is sort of reliable but does not engage in dangerous situations like Phil. Phil is sort of like the Little Jacob or Packie of the late game, a gunman who aids Niko in open, core gameplay. He is a positive character.
7:20 For those unfamiliar with Mafia slang, Phil is asking if Niko is officially employed with Ray as an exclusive thing. "This is friend of mine" means, "Hey this guy isn't an official member, but he belongs to me, so anyone wanting anything with him needs to go through me first." Ray desperately wants that for Niko, which is why he looks for Florian for him, but Niko just isn't interested.
@@manualofalternativemusic No I don't think so, I was talking about the fact that if they wanted, Ray or Phil could vouch for Niko. But he doesn't want that, he reminded Phil he was freelance. By saying "vouch", I mean to be officially recognized as an official associate of a crime family. Every official associate of a crime family has a sponsor. In real life the sponsor goes to his boss and put the associate "on the record", basically saying to his boss "he's a good guy, he will be working with us from now on".
I love how they speak the language of gods: "Did you hear about our friend, the guy with the thing?" "Yeah, you mean Harry the uhhhhhh... guy with the hat." "No, the guy with the, y'know, the budda beep budda boop." "Yeah, the guy with the uhhhh... and the- *whistle*." "Yeah, that guy." "Yeah... I heard."
Phil always loyal and dependable he knows what's best for him and understands other people situation. like when Nikodecided to get revenge he doesn't get mad and understands where niko is coming from a really undervalued character.
@@cirosflyingpizzahernandez8137 The irony of you telling him about his grammar mistake whilst having at least three things wrong with your sentence is hilarious.
Phil Bell is the perfect candidate as a protagonist for a prequel, Like Liberty City Stories. If you see his database record he has been charged with grand theft auto, so he knows how to jack a car.
Shame he wasn't able to make friends with Niko. Got word he was planned to become friends just like Jacob, Packie or the others, but for story changes, he couldn't.
oh no, sure, what I'm talking about in gameplay mechanics he was planned to be in friend activities but for story line reason, this was scrapped. It is obvious there's a good chemistry between them and a friendship could have earned.
Don Vecta I know what you meant, he and Niko have some good chemistry between them and they're both like-minded, it's a shame Niko can't have him out on friend activities, but like you said, for story reasons, and the story reason is that the Feds are going to jail most if not all the Pegorino Crime Family members and anyone associated to them, he had to go into hiding, but hey, we still have the possibility of him appearing in a future GTA game.
@NinjaStyle Bernie wont be talking about his Florian times, Florian is deep inside buried unable to speak again. Only comes a few times shown when Niko founds Florian
One of my favourite characters,i love his accent and i love how he is paranoid.And Phil helps Niko even in the Revenge ending he calls him after killing Dimitri.Great Video BTW
@@matthewriley7826 And then Pegorino wonders why the Commission thinks he is a joke: He makes a deal with Dimitri Rascalov, a guy that even the Commission doesn't want to deal with because of his treacherous and unpredictable nature.
Phil had charisma. And his dialog was strong. If anyone should make a return as a major character, it's Phil, he's a good ol believable wise guy. In -GTA 5 it would have been nice to work with some of the older characters, I wish I could the liberty paper missions reappeared and you had to work closely again with the handler, instead of him spearheading some anti fib operation. And Phil should have come back as either a sect of the mafia or his own shipping cover/business. Or a character you meet and he's either living out there or visiting. Also if they made him the father of the girl being buried alive. He that'd be cool too
I like Phil's characteristic and his accent, especially when he said he understood Niko when he revenged on Dimitri. And when they are in gun fights, Phil goes in the front too. I love when he says "follow me". That accent is so appealing.
The Sinister Gift The fuck you talkin' about? A lot of people care about GTA IV, and I still care about GTA LCS and VC along with SA while also caring about V, it's what makes GTA a wonderful series, there's always something for everyone, whether you like gangsta stuff, organized crime, bikers, bank robbers, or drug dealing sociopaths.

Phil Bell should have been available as a friend in GTA 4. I feel like Phil would have been great to hangout with along with Little Jacob, Dwayne, Brucie, and Packie
Man I have a huge connection to Phil and his appreciation for la cosa nostra in a way that the other members couldn't do well. I wish phil would've returned to gta v in a way but gta 4 always go to show why it's a masterpiece of a game in a 2008 era.
Phil was amazing, I always loved his final phone call to Niko if you choose "Revenge". He knew Niko made the right decision, and peacefully parted ways.
Oh, Whatever, about Phil, I guess he has a couple of special speeches depending how Niko drives (slow and fast) and also if Niko jacks an unoccupied car, Phil will mention some stuff about bugs and devices. I think he also has positive (or negative) feedback about the music chosen in the radio.
When ray and phil were talking about harry with the hat and the "whistle". They're talking about a guy who was wearing a bug, that's why he turned up radio
Phill definitively one of the smarter characters in GTA , constantly being cautious, the peg taught him and Ray well, sad they were part of a sinking ship
I’m glad that they changed Pest Control to only killing Ray because I don’t know how anyone could bring themselves to kill Bell. And at least Phil saw right through Dimitri whereas Ray would’ve joined him
4 years ago i finished GTA4 and all its DLC, i didn't understand the language, the terms, the slangs of the underworld. Now, the pandemic has given me a chance to re-live the time, now with better cognition, and i must say i love this character, he is smart, understand things, paranoid at the same time but also him, willing to get in to a fight alongside with Niko. At the end of the game whether the Player choose deal or revence, Phil will always send a friendly message to Niko.

For an Irish guy, Phil Bell is sure is the most Italian character in the whole GTA series.
He was probably trained to act like that so that word doesn't get out so easily.
He's Italian Irish and American

And he also knew when to back away, recognizing Dimitri as a treacherous snake something Pegorino was blind to.
