Part of the reason that GTAIV's story doesn't work the way the creators wanted it to because inbetween cutscenes of Niko lamenting his gangster lifestyle you're having him gun down dozens of people in the streets and stealing whatever cars you happen to come across, making all of the cutscenes come off a hypocritical rather than poignant.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
