I’ve finally unlocked Algonquin (I’m going to dread trying to find all the flying rats on this island though it’s gonna take ages
) and next I’m going to be starting Playboy X’s strand of missions. I always disliked him but Dwayne is great and is another one of my favourite characters from this game.
Faustins missions were a lot easier than I remember, even the final one where you have to kill him on top of Perestroika I didn’t really have much difficulty doing. All the missions so far (although they’ve been easy) have been great fun though and I love the dialogue and the funny little features in certain missions. There was one where I had to follow someone and then Roman decides to ring me asking if I wanted to play pool which spooked the person I was following and I had to run after him
. I don’t remember this from when I last played (I must’ve just tried to rush the missions instead of taking my time).
The cutscenes in Little Jacobs and Faustins missions are great, I love how confused Niko looks when he’s trying to understand what Badman is saying to him when Jacob says he needs a favour
. Faustins mission cutscenes are great particularly the one where Niko talks to his Faustins wife about the war and how it’s torn him apart and made him quite cold as a person, It’s such great writing. The part where Niko is betrayed by Dimitri is another great cutscene as well.
Really enjoying replaying through this game at the moment
