GTA My First Business Premises

Nothing personal, its just business!

I was looking for a place to start, setting up my business in Liberty City. What I found was a whole lot of red-tape, (just like in real-life). As it turns out, you need licenses for just about everything. Sure, you can trade illegally, that's what I have been doing, selling everything and anything that I can find a market for!

I learned a whole lot, but I have realized that the only way to be able to make the big money and keep it legally, is to have your own business! I'm sick of hiding in the shadows, and I want to get away from my old life of dodging my old criminal friends. Whenever they see me, its hey Niko I need your help with this.

They are not really asking! If I refuse they start to lean on me, threatening to tell Dimitri where I am, etc. So it is easier to just play along for now. But, I am working my way into those backstabbing narks, by doing away with them one by one. I've got to be careful though, not to draw too much attention to myself.


Times are hard in Liberty City, there is a high crime rate, many people are out of work and that fact alone is one of the main reasons why there is a high crime rate. Only the wealthy can live a peaceful life, protected by unfair laws and bent coppers. The streets are just not safe for anyone who has nothing, no-back-up, no-friends and no-money!

My Dream.

Owning various factories and warehouses, improving live's of others. That's my dream.

I look around me and I see poverty and squalor, people sleeping rough with no-homes to go to, neighbors fighting and stealing from one-another. This is even worse than life back in the old country. At least back there we had smaller communities with people helping each other. If you lived in a small village like I did, you had friends, you had family. No-one was allowed to starve or go cold sleeping outside.

GTA IV Secret Room

This is great, almost like a Silent Hill type of hospital...

It is a great find, not like those people who say they have found a secret shop, then go in the Launderette that everyone-else and their dog knew of before them. The funniest 'Crazy-Fool' I came across was a lad saying he'd found a secret hide-out, (he has obviously not played the game), he was only in the old Sprunk Factory! (see the second video, it has my vote 'like' it)!

This is FAB though, I love it. Just when you think you've seen it all eh?

OK, I'm back to Saints Row 3rd, with an example video. 

Saints Row: The Third - Mission 31 - Convoy Decoy

Great video again from ACManish - One of my Fav YouTubers!
So, the next comment is nothing to do with the video per-se' but to point out, as an example, this is exactly the type of thing WE DO NOT WANT in any type of GTA game!

Nooooooo! No lasers, Please RockStar!

It is great stuff, great fun and (Its OLD game play), It reminds me of back to the days of my youth, playing in an arcade.




This mission is so much like so many of the past 2D games we used to play 20 years ago. What goes around, comes around! (Just with better graphics).

I will follow and LIKE this series from ACManish (Mainly because he makes great videos), not because Saints Row3 is a great game, (it is, but personally I don't like it as much as GTA).

My point is that it is entirely different to GTA. I mention that because, lots of people keep making comparisons between the two. SEE the VIDEO BELOW!
