What a great little mission. So simple, yet so powerful.
As I was heading for Francis Intl to collect the package, the anticipation was almost unbearable. Finally, I'd get my revenge.
... or so I thought. After watching the fmv, I found myself spending several minutes thinking hard on wether or not to kill Darko.
I couldn't decide. On one hand I was thinking live and let live (did that with Vlad), on the other hand I could really understand Niko's motive for killing Darko,. I eventually decided that with all Niko's gone through to get his revenge and the traits he'd shown throughout the story a headshot seemed fitting. I even felt his relief to such a degree, that emptied an entire gun clip into Darko's dead body.
Great gaming moment ... and very disappointing in retrospective.
I was more immersed in the character than any film or game had managed to do before this, I actually felt for this poor slavic bastard, and I couldn't wait for, or imagine, the impact and repercussions this would have on and for Niko. Sadly it has none.
No matter what you choose, Roman will give a little preachy speech, Niko will comment on it, only difference is a few phrases. The entire game is practically one big build-up to this moment. Everything Niko's said and done up untill this point has been with this one goal in mind: Get revenge on Darko. What a wasted opportunity by Rockstar
... at least I had some fun on my way through Liberty City
