I never really gave that any consideration. For the longest time, I always thought he was just looking around after he ran the doorbell because he was new and didn't understand the place (America) at that point in time.
When I was slightly older, (around 12 or 13) I saw right through her clearly. I played this game back 11 years ago for the first time when I had it in my hands. 13 years ago, that's when I played the game for the first time.
It's something more normal than you think with veterans and the people who experienced rough environments. They can interact better with people akin to them rather than ordinary folk
I wouldn’t say he’s awkward around women he’s awkward around people who are human. You know they’re nice, honest, understanding and not psychopathic bullies and turds. Niko deals with bastards like Dimitri, Francis, Ray etc constantly on a daily basis. So when he’s exposed to people who are good he doesn’t know how to deal with it plus he did kill Mrs. Faustin’s husband which would make things even more awkward.
@@ultimatecontagion I've made more women unintentionally upset or cry as opposed to making someone smile or laugh (or at best content), which messed me up a bit on the inside. (Though that's mostly my own doing without meaning to)
He’s a war veteran wasn’t he? He was around a lot of death and murder and not puppies, kittens and cookbooks blah blah blah… he doesn’t know how to handle women who are complicated and can’t make up their own minds…I don’t blame him Even when he was with Kate she was constantly beating herself up about being around criminals and yet would date one herself
To be fair, the only reason why he was awkard with Fautin's wife is because he literally killed her husband. It has nothing to do with "wahmen are weird and complicated, hurr durr".
Kate and Niko’s love story is tragic. Kate was so tired of being surrounded by her criminal brothers but was willing to date and be together with a criminal. Only to lose her life for being too close to him. Poor Niko.
@@facundomontivero2299 : He was acting weird around her when he came to their house in Hove beach and Faustin came in and threw the Samovar off of the table He wasn’t relaxed and friendly with her at any time…when was he sitting back and laughing and chatting with her?…. or any woman for that matter? Heck, he wasn’t even totally chill with ROMAN, his own cousin
@@CoolNinja925 : It’s her own damn fault for dating Niko…he wasn’t looking for love, after what he went through in the war? He wasn’t expecting love to even exist but then drama queen Kate comes in and he slowly falls for her, he would’ve left crime for her and lived a nice quiet life and maybe had lots of kids and maybe repieced some bits of his broken heart I feel nothing but sympathy for Niko, he had a hard life and he tried to look after his family as much as he could. However most women would make it impossible for Niko to even exist because even in paradise WHAMEN aren’t happt
@@MichelangeloVA I don't think this is really about women, Niko knows how brutal and sadistic people can be and even post-war he has only known crime and bastards who aren't looking to do anything just to have a whore on their crotch and cash in their pocket, so when someone actually shows him normal human respect and kindness he doesn't know how to respond
They left little hints, from the way she asks so much about Nikos activity, to her house having brand new furniture with price tags still on it. I hope Rockstar doesn't mees up the next game.
I still think overall I relate to CJ the most just due to the off the wall shit he says, but Niko is second in line due to his caring nature. He’s the only GTA protagonist that would do things that doesn’t net him a profit, but just because he gives a fuck
These scenes are sweet to me, especially the ones with Faustin's wife. Behind the ice-cold killer persona you can see glimpses of what was once a good man.
He is awkward around people who are not monsters, because he is usually around scumbags, and when he meets decent folk he does not know how to fit in. This is what this is, he is completely out of his element, he is used to being around the worst of the worst
@@ultimatecontagionI say it's the way it's being presented. No flashbacks nor much of any context, it's a past event being spoken about in a serious tone by a character who's clearly traumatized by it. That makes it feel real and hence, a lot more terrifying. Violence in video games or media in general are easy to get desentised by, because well, they're more often then not presented with a level of exaggeration that creates a very clear line between fiction and reality. But when you change the context and have the imagery be filled by the viewer's imagination instead? Yea that's a recipe for something actually quite disturbing to think about.
With a husband like that, it's probably been awhile since she had a conversation with anyone- really shows how desperate she is to get out from under Faustin's thumb.
Man, I might have to replay this game over the winter. I’ve been playing RDR2 and the depth of this game always reminds me of GTA IV. Such a complex and interesting game especially for its time, and for coming right after San Andreas. It was truly ahead of its time.
Main characters are also similar in a lot of ways, bad men trying to make the best of their horrible situation which may not be their fault but is all they've ever known
Bro what mod are you using? I can see some new clothes for Niko and also his face looks higher definition and also thr other textures too. The game looks like remastered. Please tell the mod name
still crazy to me hollick was faking the accent the whole time. it may not be accurate but damn thats dedication to record thousands of voicelines without breaking the accent FAHN FEIR
niko probably meant well but giving the heroin addict money might have been a bad idea, she probably already had just enough to travel if she was already going to the station, lending her money could have set her addiction off
@Brandon-g6d Reality. This is why I refuse to be gaslit. The majority of the reason why I can't get interest from women on average is because of how spoiled they are now in general. I'm not going to be someone I'm not to try and get a bunch of shitty attitudes thrown at me.
Niko isn’t awkward around women. He’s just a classic example of an individual with PTSD and is highly untrustworthy and unsure of all those he does not immediately already know are total arseholes.
@@MrGpacmanshe's an Epsilon program freak now. To think her journey of betterment ended up taking her into a cult is pretty sad and she doesn't even have a particularly interesting role or whatever that furthers her character. It was just a meaningless shoehorning of a previous recognised character

As someone with adhd. I do this and I dont have ptsd lol
Gets his first girlfriend in the US
Turns out to be a fed
what did Rockstar mean by this?
Why does Niko have beard in some scenes but no beard in other?
I just noticed the gloves that are removed from the game. This is a modder?
Yes these are mods I have. The facial hair and the gloves, although are still In game but you need a trainer to access them.

Man, looking back at those Michelle cutscenes, she was acting suspicious as hell.

Honestly given the timeline of niko life up until gta 4 he probably wasn't around women much if at all for a majority of his life.
he also seen how Roman Mother(Niko's Aunt) got raped and killed.
