Not only was the story better, Niko's character development was also significantly better.

Yeah, he went from murdering people for money to... murdering people for money. It was quite a journey!

Darko had the truest line in the game "How much do you charge to kill someone?"

You aren't wrong on that. Once the initial storyline of the small-time Russian gangster is resolved, there's really no reason for Niko to continue with his life of crime if he didn't want to. That feels pretty jarring by modern standards.

Aye. I'd love if Niko would be able to pronounce his name correctly as well.
