I never ever knew that Frankie could die during this mission. In my almost 10 years of playing this game I've never ever had it happen to me until today.
I had it happen on like my 5th playthrough so long ago but I still remember it to this day. Frankie was lagging behind Phil and I (his AI pathing got him stuck in the alley where you ditch the cars b/c I blew up both noose vans and they were blocking Frankie) so Phil and I went to the van and found it odd that the game didn’t tell me I was abt to abandon Frankie then the police helicopter showed up and I fired an rpg at it and Frankie was coming towards Phil and I and then the chopper came crashing down on Frankie setting him on fire and then I was like whelp this is a restart so I waited for Frankie to succumb to the flames and getting a mission fail message but instead Frankie burned to death and the game didn’t fail me so I grabbed his bag then escaped w/ Phil😂
The thing I love about this mission is that before the mission niko says Coke and heroin but after the mission he starts to speak like bell and calls it "C" and "H"
Am I the only one that in all of his playtroughs managed to keep Frankie alive? I thought he was just meant to stay alive otherwise the mission would've failed.
I remember playing this for the first time in 2008 he died and i was like what does pick up the H mean and notice he died and i laughed i know that is cold
He survived the very first time I played this mission, and I had no idea he could die on subsequent play throughs. I only found out he could die without making the mission fail when I read it in the strategy guide later on. The next time I got to this mission, I killed him myself just to see the dialogue that would take place if he died. If I'm remembering right, that's the only time he's ever died for me. Never had a problem keeping him alive.
Great video man :) On weekend at Florian's there's no need to take the directions, You can just drive straight to Bernie's apartment (on Ivy Drive South)
I like how everyone "abandoned" GTA IV... It'll take many years for IV community to get off it, just because the game really worths it. Who cares about the bad port, even low PCs can play it at lowest settings with playable enough fps.
I watched a video recently where a pilot had to be escorted by a GTA IV Annihilator helicopter in real life. A lot of people mentioned GTA IV and it made me happy.
08:30 Those black N.O.O.S.E. vans carry a free armour pack you can get automatically when you enter one, it partially restores some of your armour, you should've grabbed one on the way bro!
This was such a well-made game. I was so ambivalent about buying it after I got GTA V, because I thought a predecessor nearly 10 years old wouldn't hold up after the success of the most recent release. Boy was I wrong. Of course there are going to be some things that were expanded on or updated in V, but I found myself thoroughly and consistently enjoying the story, gameplay and overall intelligent style much more in GTA IV.
For those who still play this after all these years, still beats GTAV any day of the week, it’s a good idea to date Kiki prior to this mission and get on good enough terms with her to unlock her Clear Wanted level ability, once you shoot down the police chopper you can call her to lose the cops and it works, I tried it for the first time today and was surprised it worked.
@@itsnitro8761 you can do that, if you don’t have a problem with cheating, otherwise I suggest using Kiki’s clear wanted level ability as that’s technically not cheating, you’re just using a special ability.
Yh the hardest missions in GTA IV all require you to outrun the cops in slow ass trucks/vans. Having access to Kiki's ability cuts the difficulty in half lol. Definitely recommend rushing Kiki special ability if your goal is blitzing through the missions as quickly as possible.
When you hit a scripted traffic vehicle, the script for it disables and recognize your collision with it? I wished you could make so realistic chaos tho
11:34 You accidentally missed the entirety of the speech because Bell interrupted it after he commented on the objective update after you lost the cops. Basically, he says a line like "bitch ain't got a chance now" between the sections where the objective changed
"I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky! I think about it every night and day; spread my wings and fly away!" I guess that's what the car was thinking while flying. :D
0:40 to 0:54 What is Niko talking about here? Find something out about Florian? I know its possible to put off triggering Weekend at Florian’s by not doing the Playboy X missions, which in turn activate the Hostile Negotiation mission and the UL Paper missions. But it’s kind of awkward to put those missions off to the very end. Or is he referring to Darko? Because if it is Darko, and Niko’s already asked Ray for help and already located Florian, aren’t Gambetti and UL Paper already on locating Darko for Niko at this point? My overall point is what could Phil possibly hep Niko with that others aren’t already doing for him?
There are no guarantees. Niko is very distrustful towards UL Paper and for quite some time he does not bring results for him. Niko did not willingly start working for them, unlike for a lot of other employers he had. Niko is usually not upfront about wanting to find someone. Anytime he starts working for someone, he says it is for money which is partially true. Niko wants to establish trust and connections, doing jobs so he can later call in favors to help him locate Darko. Since Ray did help him find Florian, he is willing to continue working with Ray and the family he is associated with. Niko simply has better experience with criminals when he needs something. He can communicate with them fairly well and understands their way of thinking. He always pulls 3-4 jobs before he asks for a favor. This is good to put his contacts in a position where they are more willing to help him as he is useful and at that point, well acquainted with them.
One interesting thing about this mission... The cops in the chopper use an AK47 as their weapon of choice when firing at Niko, and Phil. Normally, cops in the chopper use M4's
I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but if you repeat the mission several times, when getting in a different car than the one offered with Phil, he'll tell you to keep the radio on.
With the ending of GTA 4, I initiated a cheat that gave me Wanted level. Got all the way up to 6 stars and police choppers just surrounded happiness island like a scene out of a movie.
Kinda weird how the FIB shows up to bust them even though you only get 2 stars and they only spawn at 4 stars but I guess they didn't want it to be like Decoy from GTA 3
2 things while i knew/know this mission 1 I didn’t know for aloe could die and 2 I’d still save him anyway cause Phil sounds like he was trying to say everything going anyway for him is going to be FD up
I'm not sure if you still play this game anymore, but I have a big issue with this mission for a flawless GTA run. I'm replaying the game since launch, and making sure to never fail a mission (100% attempted/100%passed), never die, never get busted and never miss attained/evaded star. When I play the mission I have 88/88 but when I complete it, with Frankie saved, I have 91/90. I am pretty sure this is because during the race section, you are not able to evade the police entirely, I even take the back alley after the phone call from Bell, but I'm always 1 star short after beating the mission. This mission is preventing me from moving forward because I'm going for a flawless run, and this flaws it up. If you still play this game please take a look into this, seems like a small oversight making this a flawed mission preventing a clean run in GTA. I'm also making sure to watch all cutscenes for flawless run so replaying the missions is a drag - I don't think this mission can be played to perfectly evade, calling Francis at any point during the mission doesn't work either. The glitch where it starts to show stars missed is right at the 2nd cutscene of the mission after the chase sequence.
Not always, it depends on the angle and size... it is also easier to go through places that are supposed to be a door (I am considering doing a short video to show you the airbrake)
I have seen airbreak but I don't fully understand it. Oh and for Going Deep try to go toa different part f the car park or it's leave the park and see if the noose vehicles are thrre
I have various saves in the game, and I play my way to the needed mission. If needed I can choose the mission with the trainer, but I prefer not to use that option since it may effect the fail calls and so on.

When I rpg’d the helicopter, Frankie got caught in the fire, so he burned and the LCPD shot him down
I sacrificed myself to restart the mission to keep him alive
The thing I love about this mission is that before the mission niko says Coke and heroin but after the mission he starts to speak like bell and calls it "C" and "H"
Am I the only one that in all of his playtroughs managed to keep Frankie alive? I thought he was just meant to stay alive otherwise the mission would've failed.
Stefan Dijkstra I did to! I thought he had to stay alive!
I remember playing this for the first time in 2008 he died and i was like what does pick up the H mean and notice he died and i laughed i know that is cold

"Are you fucking blackmailing me?"
That was the best line in GTA history.
if I had a dollar for every time I hit a fucking tree during this mission.....
Open Box *bus
For Catch the Wave example:
1. Destroy the truck
2. Kill Phil Bell
3. Bell Got Away
4. Abandon Bell
Then mission failed.

DJ Thanos all scripted cars keep their original path... but they can suffer damage
Oh, alright. Still the scripted traffic is much more realistic than the original.
@@DJ_Thanos except from when they rubberband like the cop car in Union Drive.

It's the same in Marta Full Of Grace when you're fighting the cops at the airport

Best video ever
Since you know that Frankie has child, a mom and a sister, is impossible to let him die.
I always try to keep Frankie alive when playing through this mission.
one of my favorite missions from 4. Bell’s paranoia is a mood
5:24 one of the game's best jokes
With the ending of GTA 4, I initiated a cheat that gave me Wanted level. Got all the way up to 6 stars and police choppers just surrounded happiness island like a scene out of a movie.
Am I the only one who saw frankie die in the first gameplay. I was thinking Oops mission failed
Great video. Congratulations for the time spent
22:43 feel his pain
I like how there are those feds behind them in the cutscene but they don't give a shit🤣🤣😂
I didn't know Frankie could die. Thanks for the video man.
No problem, happy you liked it :)
4:40 to 5:00 and 16:05 to 16:24
most dedicated FIB/DEA agents in existence
Kinda weird how the FIB shows up to bust them even though you only get 2 stars and they only spawn at 4 stars but I guess they didn't want it to be like Decoy from GTA 3
I recently had Frankie die and had zero idea it could happen. Idk how it did
THX YOU CHOOSE ME
I played this mission with 5 stars...very interesting
2 things while i knew/know this mission 1 I didn’t know for aloe could die and 2 I’d still save him anyway cause Phil sounds like he was trying to say everything going anyway for him is going to be FD up
Phil and Niko had a respect for each other
10:52 epic save
You should've trashed the van. I'm surprised you never did that.
Frankie was about to make it to the end but he got too close to the helicopter when it crashed lol
13:57 Busted sound from gta1

"nice driving niko" does he say the same thing if you drive bad and fuck up the car?
***** yes, it's for losing the cops
whatever57010 kewl bruh
lmao wtf I've seen you on a rondonumbanine video
Diego Guccierrez ye and lol
i never knew a couple things on this mission! good job
Thanks :)
Niko is cruel towards Frankie
Ryder AKA Shermhead not cruel just realistic.
So H stand for heroin right?
In this mission it's easy to get FIB without damage.
Hey you can also do One last thing .Try entering the club with a wanted level
On this mission can you use backup from Dwayne before enter the car on the old mansion. I want to know If that really working
Thank You Man...
Thank you for the suggestion :)
Can you complete this mission without dead Bell or Frankie?
Cool 😎 ya used Dwayne's back up
In all my playthroughs except the first one I did I killed Frankie with a grenade by accident ☠️
I thought going through walls messed up airbreak?
Not always, it depends on the angle and size... it is also easier to go through places that are supposed to be a door (I am considering doing a short video to show you the airbrake)
I have seen airbreak but I don't fully understand it.
Oh and for Going Deep try to go toa different part f the car park or it's leave the park and see if the noose vehicles are thrre
Zedyer Venyar will try :)
Its a shame Frankie’s voice actor is unknown
i already knew frankie could die. he was no use to me anyway! and can u also do Get Lost (Tlad)?
Sure, but it will take some time (I have over 10 previous requests)
ow... yeah sorry for asking to early
Lucian Wong No need to apologize, I was just explaining why it will take some time... so you won't think I forgot :)
5:32-5:36
did u already got to an internet cafe for other ringtones and themes on nikos cell? (free-roam)
a long time ago, only a few ringtones were actually good
oh srry did not know that :/
Lucian Wong That's ok, it's only my own opinion :)
true :)
Yeah...
Lol first time I heard police called bacon
They're called "Pigs" all the time, so, "bacon" actually makes sense :)
What if Phil dies in the fight with the police?
You fail
u cant choose missions,right? so how do u do it? new game?
I have various saves in the game, and I play my way to the needed mission. If needed I can choose the mission with the trainer, but I prefer not to use that option since it may effect the fail calls and so on.
okay. totally forgot u were a PC gamer
Bruh which mod you use to get that much FPS
