8:10 to add to this, if you fail the mission a second time, your buddy will say something like "let's just listen to the radio" and won't talk after that.
I'm fascinated by youtubers like Badger, Neon knight and Wirtual who are obsessed with a specific game franchise to the point of knowing damn near everything about it and simultaneously making a successful career out of taking about it.
NathanNS is pretty good if you enjoy bully content. He's pretty much exactly like badger where 90% of the videos are about a topic but there are a few others here or there
11:15 I think the main reason why MGS4 is still a PS3 exclusive is probably because of the iPod feature, a PS3 and PSP console easter egg in the briefing scenes when controlling the MKII, even Otacon mentions that they're on a PS3 where the game is running on a Blu-ray disc when returning to Shadow Moses, that's my guess
You can turn alternative dialogues with the mod FusionFix too, so it always starts with the alternative dialogue. It's nice if you've played the game a lot and already know the dialogues.
Old music on Vladivostok FM wasn't just a random pick of catchy song, most (or all of them, don't quite remember now) are featured in Russian movies "Brother" and "Brother 2", which Rockstar took some inspiration from. So, they being replaced is a big deal, new songs R* put in a game is meh at best.
I belive the games between III and IV were given titles because they were prequels and didn't release with the same date as the game's story. For example, GTA III was released in 2001 and took place then; GTA IV in 2008; GTA V in 2013 and so on.
Given how GTA VC started out as an expansion pack for GTA 3, it isn't surprising that the map was rushed to meet deadlines. Also, Rockstar purposely left Niko's nationality ambiguous and just described him and Roman as coming from a broken-down area in Eastern Europe. They do speak Serbian but R* did not confirm that Niko was from the former Yugoslavia for some reason. Vladimir Mashkov claimed in an interview on Russian TV that he was approached to audition for a role on a then-undisclosed project but turned it down. I imagine if R* did cast him it wouldn't have aged well given Mashkov's support for the Ukraine conflict and how his daughter basically disowned him for that statement.
@@heckermix9250 I know what the guy meant, there was a person who said it isn't true for GTA 2 but that isn't a roman numeral - he must have deleted his comment out of embarrassment I guess
I think it would be more accurate to say that every GTA game with a number in the title (so far) has always been set in the present day: the "present day" being whatever year the game was released in. Like, GTA IV was originally supposed to come out in 2007 and the development of the game took place from 2005 to 2008 (if we count the delays) so it would be more accurate to say that GTA IV is set in a fictional version of mid 2000s New York instead of saying that GTA IV is meant to look and feel EXACTLY like how New York was like in 2008 specifically.
if GTA IV was a PS3 exclusive, it would have significantly impacted the sales of the Xbox 360, even if the Xbox was a slightly better console, the impact of GTA IV was massive in 2008, and it's the kind of game that makes you want to buy a new console.
The 2nd fact makes me really sad. We all know how much of a monumental task creating each game is, including GTA 6. But I bet once it's out, there will be loads of people complaining that the model of like a cigarette butt on the sidewalk only has 400 polygons and 2048 textures, and will send the developers death letters over it.
bless you badger for always teaching me something new about older gta games. when it seems like i could know all the things, you upload something new. nobody does it like you!
the most fun thing to do back in these days was go into deathmatch and end up in that match where someone puts it on RPGs only. everyone just ends up flying in the air spinning on fire.
Hope we get a 10-20 facts about GTA Vs Beta/Development in the near future now, I feel alot of people dont touch on the development/Beta of the game outside of the usual stuff we know already.
I always thought it was the 4th one officially, because 3 to San Andreas were all built on the same engine, based on RenderWare*. 4 of course being built on Rocker's RAGE engine.
I just learned they've made a new Vladivostok FM. And I think it's actually better than the goofy old one. It sounds more like a real radio station now.
I’m still hoping you’ll do a video about the south Bohan highway construction site, and the bridge that would connect to Algonquin. I always wondered where in Algonquin that bridge would be connected.
the bit about Map being done before the Story... it makes sense, after all, leaks said GTA 6 once was about a Narcos-type of story, in the 70/80s... and since R had to downscale the map, the Plot had to change
Don't know how you do it, finding always new interesting information to talk about in these games. I really like it, you always take your time and it always pays up. Keep it up, lad! P.S.: Would've liked to have Staten Island in the game anyway.
Thank god GTA IV wasn't ever a console exclusive, EFLC aside for the first year or so. With the latest mods in PC it's becoming a much better experience than in consoles even. The nefarious memories of the PC version at launch should be put to rest, finally. You can even have the secondary dialoges of the missions play as main dialogue, on your first attempt of the missions.
Its weird that GTA IV was going to be PS3 exclusive, and then the Episodes from Liberty City expansion ended up being exclusive to Xbox for the first while lol
I always figured named GTA games were set in a specific time, while numbered GTA games were set at current day(whatever year the game came out). That theory holds up, and unless GTA VI gets renamed, it will continue to hold up.
When this game came out I remember thinking that open world games in an urban setting would necessarily have to live up to the level of density in this game. How wrong I was. GTA 5 didn’t even live up to that and I have yet to come across an urban open world quite like this one.
As a staten islander I always appreciate Badger giving the forgotten borough some recognition! I honestly don’t really know of anyone else who ever mentions it in regards to GTA IV, so it’s always nice to hear it mentioned.

GTA IV definitely has the most diverse radio station choices when it comes to the entirety of GTA games.

Revenge or Deal ending?
Checkpoints were in the game, but only in the final missions, and the DLC stories.
They were only in the DLC stories bc game journos even back then cried about having to start again lul
And those checkpoints killed enjoyment of deliberately failing the mission just to hear 2nd dialogues.

I mean, more songs by Seryoga are there, who is already a featured artist.
And one of them is censored.
"most" (one splean track)
But there was also one song from "Bumer" movie, hey

"That's what I'm talking about! That's why he's MVP!! That's why he's the goat, THE GOAT!"

Screw console exclusives, all they do is limit the amount of people that can actually get to experience the game.
