10 Extremely Rare Video Game Outcomes You've Never Seen Before
3. Unique Phone Calls - Grand Theft Auto IV
Although these days most people praise Red Dead Redemption 2 for being Rockstar’s most detailed video game, back in 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV implemented just as many incredibly innovative and immersive features.
It’s just that most people haven’t experienced them.
One of the most overlooked features of GTA IV is the phone that Niko receives when he moves to America. Contrary to what a lot of players believe, the phone can be used for more than receiving an invitation to a bowling match from your cousin Roman.
It can also be used to make phone calls, and if you call different people after specific missions, you’ll be surprised to discover that this action usually comes with a special outcome.
Pretty much every mission in the game features secret phone conversations that Niko can have before and after doing the mission by calling his friends and employers.
Each phone call provides you with more context about the mission and helps you connect with Niko as he tries to find a place for himself in the chaotic world of Liberty City.
The best of them involve Roman, as the dialogue between the two cousins is full of emotional depth and drama.
And yet, Roman would rather go bowling again!
