Derrick McReary 

Indeed as Niko is pissed at Francis for asking him to off his own brother, Francis's bro that is.

I’m surprised he didn’t walk past Derrick too, he’s a rat and he’s ashamed of it clearly because he lies about it

Why do I keep seeing you?

WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE

But he seems to go clean after Aiden dies

True but Francis is awful he’s a corrupt person that only cares about his job and not his family and though The family are thugs they’re honest about what they do.

@@skollandhati9961 lol, i think you didnt understand the full details of his family Francis might be a corrupted cop and an a hole but his cause are noble but in dirty ways He isnt like Tenpenny doing drug deals and sold everyone and corrupted everyone out He cared about his family, even if he means he dont care, he promised to his mother that he'll try to be a good son by caring his family, and yet he did, how? He didnt put them down in the first place Gerald on the other hand got caught and nothing he can do about it, he could've put him down in the first place but he didnt, plus he always look after them by not putting them down He cared about his family too, unlike Derrick He never wanted to kill Derrick in the first place but since hes threatening his brother to the journalist in the first place, so he have no other choice but to kill him He even regret order a hit to his brother, Derrick like he mentions during phonecall after the Blood Brothers mission as he knows, his mother wouldn't want this, unlike Derrick Derrick however, is a rat, selling everyone out even his brother, Francis after what he has done for him, he always involved in some crime and always messed up people's lives including his former allies that have already suffered, he dont even care about his family as he just gone keep hiding whenever theres a trouble like in Undertaker mission He always cause problems, which probably cause his family in danger which makes Francis worried as theres a hit on Derrick's head by the mafia And hes a meth junkie, he eventually die anyway He might play nice to you, but hes fooling you, thats just a mask to cover his real skin Even in Undertaker mission, he always flee like Francis said whenever theres a trouble Hes nowhere to be found after the cutscene and didnt bother to help his family flee from the scene, hes hiding like a coward he is whenever theres trouble unlike Francis who safely escorted his family away from the scene Derrick is some insane troublemaker meth guy try to cause some trouble in for himself while Francis trying to clean up the mess in dirty ways Hes the one brought this on himself, hes should be dead, not Francis Imagine if Derrick is the one order the hit, he wouldn't cared, nor regret, unlike Francis Hes worse than you even think

Zachary Damian but St Michael died ): the heist would be much better if he didn't die

DaKiller Gaming yeah. Poor saint Michael. Didn’t see it coming. Witnessed his death in gta 4 and the ballad of gay tony. Wish he wasn’t shot.

Remember that Michael dies in Heat too? P.S. recently passed this mission from the 7th try only

@@AndriiViktorov 7th try? Are you playing legitimately or using cheats?

The best mission.

SweetWheatsy he wasn’t a bad person, just made a lot of bad decisions. Only bad things about him were his addiction and selling out his friends

I agree, he handled the bank heist well and I liked that he actually cared about them. Derrick wasn't a bad person he just made some bad decisions. I also spared Derrick during blood brothers and shot Francis.

I guess I can say one thing, Derrick has more of a heart than most of the people I’ve had to deal with.

Choose Derrick so their mom won't have to bury 3 of her children

For me, killing Derrick just makes logical sense since he was like Darko and ratted on his friends once before, who's to say he wouldn't do it again?

Alex it's such a great game

Alex no shame about that. All of us are. Kkk

@@Khadafi_1986 really michael, you don't think I know that

@@jimfitzgerald7393 I thought you died Jim?

A motto I try to live by tbh. I ain't got a drug problem like Derrick or anything like that, but everyone has their troubles and I think it's good to be honest about them. Both to others and oneself

i noticed too

By that point he just got back from Ireland. But considering he was born and raised in New York/Liberty City, it probably didn't take him long to code-switch back to his American accent.

Could be despite his drug use he’s craftier then he looks. Using a heavy Irish accent during the heist, but maintaining a regular American accent to avoid being identified.

That’s actually not uncommon. My girlfriend is from Nigeria, when we first met I thought she grew up in the U.S. But whenever she’s talking with her family, when something annoys her, or when she finds something amusing, she’ll go back into her Nigerian accent. I giggle inside every time that happens.

It's the smartest way to go about it.

They just added it for realistic heist planning. This robbery was more of a winging it situation

Barely made it out

Niko was just a gunman so he didn't need much briefing

I like to think this heist was reason the ones in 5 are a lot more complicated and thought out. It kind of makes sense as bank robberies were an easy lick before the 2000s.

He’s my favourite McReary too.

He actually regret snitching his friends, which is why he's still a better person than francis. Francis is pretty much worse than his brothers because he loves deluding himself that he's a good person.

How was he truly dedicated to the cause if he preferred betreying his comrades to jail time lol

Pp mlm 1f2l

I just wish besides the tunnel mission his missions were more fun, most sucked compared to francis missions.

How do u know? rockstar never specified his death all we know by packie is that he's dead all the people who always say that are the people who would rather have francis dead and don't say shit thats assumed but never confirmed

Yourz Truly When you meet packie in gta 5, he mentions Derrick, then says “God rest his soul” which implies he’s dead by then

@@Dirtydan-oy4fi umm no he said "god rest his soul" not bless.

@@Dirtydan-oy4fi gta5 packie is a joke, he doesn't even look like the real packie and doesn't talk like him either,

Yourz Truly ur point ? Derrick is still dead

Haha 😂 😂 haha 😆 😆

Is that a IRA thing?

@@speedking7224 No it's a British thing, the American's call it "Compound 4", the British call it "Plastic Explosive No.4"

@@ShasOSwoll oh I thought IRA had made their own equivalent to c4

​@@ShasOSwoll Not exactly. PE4 uses a different plasticiser to C4 so they're not actually the same thing. Very similar, but not the same.

Niko is a badass.

Keve Tóth KKKKKKK

Lol he was being so nosy he almost fell down the steps

HAHAHAHA TRUEEE

He was very invested in that conversation

Exactly! Also, Derrick is by far the most compassionate McReary. Also, Derrick just wants to close the book on his past, nothing more, so he’s harmless. Francis and his corruption is crippling the city therefore is a real threat to justice. I understand that killing Aiden wasn’t nice, but at least he was a crook, whereas Francis wants Niko to kill Tom Goldberg, a lawyer who aspired to expose many corrupt police officers and government officials, I felt REALLY bad after killing him.

Yeah, you should've done Francis, not Derrick. Both Playboy and Francis did blackmail Niko into killing Dwayne and Derrick, but Dwayne and Derrick never ordered Niko to kill Playboy and Francis because Dwayne and Derrick had more morals than Playboy and Francis and Niko makes his own decisions whether to decide: Good morals or bad morals.

The same could've said to gerry and packie. Francis is a complete slimeball though according to packie.

MoviesNGames007uk same in my first playthrough, derrick feels more of a family member than francis

Francis is funny, but Derrick is very miserble and if you kill him and put him out of his miserble life, he can finally Rest in peace better than living and suffering.

King The Son put it other ways - after storyline is finished, Niko can live in peace with powerful friends apart, such as UL Paper (CIA) and... police commissioner Francis McReary from LCPD. A perfect life for an ex-GTA protagonist ;)

MoviesNGames007uk well Derrick mentioned died in gta v because overdose. Killing him is better than letting him betray everyone for drugs Just like Darko

MoviesNGames007uk i chose the 40 k over derrick

😂 funny shit

A lot of the choices in this game don't matter, but this one really does. Even if you shoot Francis, Derrick still dies of an overdose. (Reason why you cannot call him)

@@TheChosenMoose01 No the reason why you can't call him is because his number disappears from niko's phone like almost all phone numbers at the end of storyline so it doesn't mean he died then

@@kvcper66 It actually does. Playboy's number dissapears if you kill him, I believe Faustin's also dissapears, list goes on.

@Johnny Steve Nothing. However, irregardless of whom you kill, Derrick still dies. So let me ask. Should mama Mcreary lose only 1 son or 2?

@@TheChosenMoose01 If he ends up dying of an overdose, it's better to just kill him then in Blood Brothers.

FlymanMS honestly Francis is a hypocrite and alot of GTA players hate him. But honestly outside of him being a crooked cop. When you look at the other people he killed they were all scumbags. The dealer was going to kill niko anyways. When you think of it Francis does good things.

I don't really think there was supposed to be a flat-out "good" choice. Neither Derrick nor Francis are exactly what would constitute as "good people", and it's more of a matter of who you end up relating to the most. Derrick was a complete mess with how he treated his body and others in his past. He sold out his old compatriots and just wants it all to be done so he can take his drugs in peace, and is in such bad of shape that he isn't even a consideration for taking care of Packie's mom if Kate dies. Francis was a self-righteous hypocrite who is more than willing to assassinate people who would give him a bad name, and was mostly implied just to "clean up the streets" just for the fame and recognition he'd get to it, rather than because he actually thought it'd make peoples' lives better. The biggest difference is that Francis directly intimidates Niko, and tries to essentially blackmail him into doing whatever it is he needs done that the regular LCPD can't do, while Niko helps Derrick mostly out of pity for what he has become. This is completely supported by how Niko was rewarded for who he chose to kill; killing Francis had no material upside to it. He didn't get a single dime for choosing Derrick over Francis, just any sense of satisfaction he'd get out of offing someone who tried to bully him. Francis obviously has the resources necessary to reimburse Niko for what he had done, and saw Derrick as nothing but a disgrace to his name, so he thought just to sever the link to him, no matter the consequences of how his greater family would feel about Derrick's death. Point being, none of them are really good people when you look at it; the difference is that Francis is so crooked he could swallow nails and spit out corkscrews, but because he's gunning for police chief, he could do a lot of good for the average person in Liberty City, especially considering the context of The Lost-AoD gang wars and the conflicts between the Rascalov Mafiya and The Commission. Derrick's more sympathizable, and it's because he's been laid so low but still treats Niko with some modicum of respect unlike the condescending, self-righteous sneering that always comes from Francis' mouth, he doesn't look as bad, even if his actions don't support that he's necessarily a better person.

Great analysis, thank you for your comment.

You said it man, I couldn't have said it better myself.

Francis is a cop so...

Racedude82jr because it isn’t Francis had it coming

@@yoshpeters3079 Oh yeach? I don't think so.

Storywise I disagree. In GTA V the heists were planned better and they usually had a reason why they did the heists. In GTA IV they just ran trough the city killing hundreds of cops, only for 500k. It felt unrealistic, unplanned and an overall overkill for a small prize. I like gunplay in GTA V more due to the variety of the weapons and realistic damage output, but GTA IV has far better physics which makes the overall gameplay superior to V.

@@TrolledBy Irrelevant comment. Take this L

​@@user-be8oj3fw8vcouldn't resist precious iv getting some criticism smh

@@user-be8oj3fw8vnah he got a point tho! They both are pretty cool, but gta iv is awesome

why dont you just combine gta 5 heists with GTA 4 mechanics? mods do your job.

Same here i would have chosen Francis when i was 18 going 19 then Derrick would have gone to a journalist and talk about his family to i would have used my head also eyes and brains like batman to

Yeah I really loved doing The Bank Robbery with Packie and Derrick I also killed Francis

One of the best missions.

5 years later and this still isn't true unfortunately.

no one nowadays is interested in him

He's actually worse cuz he's a cop. At least his criminal brothers dont pretend that theyre good people.

@@setro5582 true I’d prefer someone straight up

Derrick is just as big a hypocrite. He pretends he's this loyal idealist. When he's really just a snitching traitor.

@@willcardona7712 At least he didn't betrayed his family and didn't abandon them like Francis did, and how is Derrick a hypocrite lol? he said it himself that he did bad shit but he's honest about it and he also looks like he regrets what he did, probably that's the reason why he kept getting high, he mentions that he gets high so he would stop caring, i think he refers to his past actions. Francis is way worse in any way than Derrick.

@@notyourdaddude1957 He lied to Niko about Bucky and Aiden. He claimed that they snitched him out, when it was really him that snitched them out. Then he had Niko kill them both. Him getting high and stoned to stop caring refer to both his past and present actions. Thanks to the magic of drugs, he can shit on anybody and everybody and not feel guilty about it. As for him not betraying his family, that's up for serious debate. See the video entitled "Who Really Ratted Out Gerry McReary And Why? GTA 4 Lore Explained" for more details. On a final note, in the funeral mission when Derrick is killed and the funeral gets shot up, Francis at least protects his mother and drives her away from the danger. In the same mission when Francis is killed and the funeral gets shot up, some stranger drives his mother away from the danger. Derrick was nowhere to be found. He probably ran away. Derrick may seem noble on the outside. But when the chips are down, he will always save himself first. For him, it's all about saving his own ass and scoring his next fix, no matter who he has to betray or kill to do it.

BIG MOOD OMG

Cause derrick dies regardless even if you kill Francis, It is mentioned by packie in GTA 5 that derrick is dead possibly due to drug or alcohol overdose.(or if killing derrick is the canon choice.)

"fuck it. lets do it before the crank wears off"

@Barone niko killing francis actually makes sense, given his reaction on "blood brothers" (by telling francis to phak off and i will hit who im aiming at), and the fact he would sit beside derrick but not on francis on "undertaker" (on this mission, if you kill francis, only mrs. Mcreary is the only one who miss him).

@Barone yeah derrick is still a better person than francis, even though he was a snitch (he actually regret doing that even though he still silenced his old pals, unlike francis who was so deluded that he thinks he's a good person). there are people who actually thought that derrick's worse cuz he's a rat. If that's true, then steve haines is a better person than michael cuz he's a rat and a criminal while haines is fed.

@Barone also, kiki's ability stays after playing the story. Which is better than francis' ability (it disappears after finishing the main storyline).

@Barone do you also play gta sa? If you do, im curious if u find kickstart hard. Cuz that side mission is preventing me from getting 100 percent, i find it too hard.

No one knows how he really died because Packie didn't specified it.

Yeah nobody wanted to sit with that junkie Derrick ,Niko had only that seat left to sit
