this knife only GTA IV challenge run is the perfect storm of chaos, there's stupid AI shenanigans, euphoria ragdolls, the atrocious knife combat in IV where Niko will stab the wall 5 times before hitting the guy you're locked onto, plus they have to fight against the worst enemy of all: rockstar's mission scripting where sometimes NPCs are there for show and can't actually damage enemies so the player has to play their part, but since they're trying to knife only this, they have to get very creative to get around the fact the game was designed around shooting dudes and shotgun blasts to the side of the head are fairly lethal in this game, even if they can be healed away by a hotdog and medpacks.
