In the fourth part of the legendary series of games, developers have taken the path of improving realism. This manifested itself in everything from ways to spend leisure time to a physical model of car behavior. For example, clothing stores in GTA-4 have become thematic, as well as divided into price categories. We can say that they focus on real boutiques that are located in the city of New York (in the game the location is called Liberty City). Consider all the types of stores present in the game.
Russian Shop
The first boutique available to the player is called Russian Shop. It opens not far from the main character's place of residence, which is quite logical - Nico begins his journey precisely from the Russian district. The sign of the clothing store in "GTA-4" reads "Latest Fashion", and below is the information already in English.
Here you can buy cheap and nondescript street clothing, but save on the outfit. Nevertheless, this place is oriented towards the poor and migrants. Also, Russian Shop is the only point of sale for glasses and hats. The boutique can be found in several places. Russian Shop is one of three chains of clothing stores in GTA-4.
Interesting fact: the players found the files with the mention of the Binco store, which was in GTA San Andreas. He was supposed to replace the Russian Shop in the original version and in the view of the developers. However, for an unknown reason, it was replaced by a Russian institution.
Modo
The next store opens only after completing the storyline Blow Your Cover. The boutique is located in the northern part of the map. Modo is targeted at the middle class. Here you will not find frankly scary and cheap things. However, you will have to pay much more for the entire set of wardrobe items (from head to toe) than in the Russian Shop.
At the checkout you will be greeted by a polite and tidy salesman named Mike. It is curious that on the first visit to the store, the consultant concludes by the appearance of Nico that he previously only wore Binco. This place can be robbed, like all other clothing stores in GTA-4, where Nico can interact with sellers. For a robbery, you will immediately receive the 1st wanted level (1 star).
If you want to buy more casual or sportswear for Niko, then head to Modo. Moreover, by the time the store opens, in the story, there will be enough funds in the main character’s pocket.
Perseus
The third major chain of stores is called Perseus. The boutique is located on Amethyst Street in two copies at once. Expensive cars parked near the sidewalks, beautifully dressed passers-by, tall apartment buildings and bustle in the city center are a description of the place where there is a clothing store in GTA 4 called Perseus. From this we can conclude that this institution sells only the most expensive and luxury clothing. Here you will find many formal suits, dress coats and so on. At one point in the story you have to buy a costume for the main character. This will happen around the time you get your luxury apartment. Both elements combine perfectly!
The same rules work inside each store. Since this is a game, the fitting and buying process is somewhat simplified. You do not need to take things and go to the fitting room - you can put on an item directly at the rack or hanger. You don’t have to go to the cashier to pay. Purchase is made through the menu with the fitting of clothes.
