Mission Complete: GTA IV

Spoilers for GTA throughout

GTA IV: With the Lost and Damned Expansion coming out in the near future, I decided to finally finish the Grand Theft Auto IV story, once, and for all. I had mostly just Phil Bell and Jimmy P’s missions left to do. I did all of those, and what was left of the Bernie missions. Had to do missions like “Trespass,” “Flatline,” “To Live and Die in Alderny,” so I was constantly having gunfights. I had to finish off Little Jacob’s courier missions, and the Assassin missions also. I wanted to get the Liberty City Minute Achievement, and was about 25 hours in when this all started, so it was going to be a tight squeeze.

I quickly wrapped up the “Assassin’s Greed,” and “Courier Service” achievements, so I could get those out of the way. After those I finished up Phil Bell’s crazy Heroin extravaganza, and found that Roman’s Wedding was just around the corner. Before the Wedding, I got a call regarding the man who betrayed Niko in the old country. Darko “That Special Someone,” was delivered to myself and Roman at the docks. Here I decided it was time for that cold blooded revenge, Niko had been looking for the whole game. I gave him the business, and went on my way. After this, the real business picked up.

Jimmy P basically asked me to be cool with that asshole Dmitri from earlier in the game, and find a way to start a business relationship with him. I called Roman and Kate, who both told me to do something different in regards to the situation. I took Kate’s “Melfi-like” advice, and whacked Dmitri, who was on a boat full of drugs and henchman. The next day, Niko took Kate to Roman’s wedding. Everything was going all right until Jimmy P pulled a drive by, and killed Kate. Her words are what convinced me to kill Dmitri, which led to Jimmy P exacting revenge, so in essence it was her own fault.

Anyway, I go off to avenge her with the help of Little Jacob, and the whining of Roman. We eventually get into a high speed, boat versus helicopter chase, which ended in a sweet crash landing. Afterwards, I finished Jimmy P, and the game’s story. The ending wasn’t anything special, but it never is in the video game world. I achieved Liberty City Minute, and You won! I’ll probably play some more of GTA IV before the Expansion, but I’m glad to have wrapped up the main story.
