A '''Climax''' is the point in a text with the highest amount of tension. In [[Grand Theft Auto | A '''Climax''' is the point in a text with the highest amount of tension. In [[Grand Theft Auto]] games, the climax is usually the final mission, or a group of missions towards the end of the game. A climax consists of the player battling a large force of a rival gang and/or mafia members, followed by the player killing the game's [[antagonist]]. In most cases, the weather of the climax depends on the player's timing, but in a few cases the weather is predetermined by the game. Some examples are ''[[End of the Line]]'' in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and ''[[The Sicilian Gambit]]'' in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. | ||
There are two possible [[Endings in GTA IV|endings]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], each with it's own climax. in the "Deal" ending, antagonist [[Dimitri Rascalov]] is seen killing [[Jimmy Pegorino]], who [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] planned to kill himself anyway, and is killed himself by the player later in the mission. In the "Revenge" ending, Dimitri is killed two missions prior to the ending, and Pegorino becomes the antagonist after killing [[Kate McReary]] in the penultimate mission. Pegorino is killed by the player in the final mission. | There are two possible [[Endings in GTA IV|endings]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], each with it's own climax. in the "Deal" ending, antagonist [[Dimitri Rascalov]] is seen killing [[Jimmy Pegorino]], who [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] planned to kill himself anyway, and is killed himself by the player later in the mission.
