Are we arguing about mass murderers being likeable?
Im joking. It's clear rockstar made these guys likable because they're the protagonists. Yes they do horrible s***. But the way they're all presented is to make you wanna play as these lunatics. I dont think its that deep.
It's been over a decade now, Johnny isn't coming back and Trevor isn't dying in GTA 6
Get over it
“Hurr durr Trevor loyal” is always the only thing Trevor fans have to say. I didn’t say the other characters WERE likeable, I think Franklin and Michael were largely blocks of wood
That’s my whole point bro holy s***, Franklin and Michael are that boring that Trevor is the most interesting, how is this even a questionable take it’s blatantly obvious
Honestly the GTA V protagonists all have wildly inconsistent personalities that change depending on what the story/mission needs at that moment, I think a lot of Franklin's character as the cool-headed voice of reason is undercut by the fact that he canonically has to kill absolutely tons of people, but I think that's just a consequence of GTA having the gameplay that it does
GTA v more than any other gta to me felt like go to this location and kill many people . Without as well structured mission design of why. There was a bit more narrative conceit to previous games . Primarily gangs in previous gangs or criminals vs V killing Feds to rob banks which to me robbing banks actually got boring ( in single player ) in online it looks like they diversified it and found fun over the top ways to do it . In iv three leaf clover felt fun because it was one of a kind . In V that chase that high repeated times . With less missions that let the player decide how they will complete if
Dumbest take ever, niko is a human trafficker and he’s likeable. It’s the loyalty side of them that makes them likeable. They ride or die for theirs yet don’t get the same treatment in return.
If you fly shorty out, that's s***trafficking technically
Y'all niggas need new aunts

You said Trevor (again, a rapist) has better morals and that Michael is quote “BY FAR” more unlikable. That was your point that I objected to. Being “loyal” is inconsequential in the face of those other acts
Replaying gta 5 for the first time in ages and I think a lot (but not all) of the criticisms itt fall flat

The only critique that feels valid about the game (if we're excluding GTA Online which is a different convo altogether) is how it has weak villains.
The thing about playing GTA Online after all this time is seeing so much content that came out in increments but you get go choose what you wanna play
Kortz Center Heist who?
Oh and they nerfed all the payouts lmao Dr Rockstar hates its fans

I'm playing online mostly but I'm also jumping in and out of the story mode. It's solid

They really can't be pulling that typa s*** on 6 when online comes out man

Feels more like a taster of what's to come. If we're lucky, they won't be so egregious but knowing that the budget was 2 Billion dollars or something,
I really hope this VI game has the san Andreas feel. The epicness. Hard to describe but I came across this vid and this dude described San Andreas perfect and why it's my fave in the series and one of all time favorites.

Man I still laugh when I think of the leap from GTA 3 to San Andreas. It's crazy how much they added all in the span of 4 years. I said that before and someone joked about the leap from the 2d games will "shock me then" or something. I could care less about them 2d games even if they laid the early foundation. I'm talking about when the series got popular and changed gaming forever which was with GTA 3

VI definitely looks to have more varied environments than V and I’m sure all the small towns are going to be far more fleshed out than in any previous title.

he's a chill bro
Niko has more nuance/depth, that's what makes him more likable. You know his background with the war and see how he expresses guilt about it. You see how the only woman bro been dating turns out to be an undercover agent. Either his cousin or cousin's wife dies at the end
CJ story of returning home after his mother's death and dealing with family/friends who feel like he abandoned them also a lot more appealing to me than psychopath bank robber who got betrayed on a job and keeps yelling profanities whenever he's on screen

I put nearly 300 hours into gta 5?

I’d probably be around that even though I think I’ve only beaten it twice.
Just a ton of aborted playthroughs.
VI not available to PC peasants in the foreseeable future, might as well
That actually isn't a bad idea, what are PC players gonna do? Complain?
If anything it will just drive up more PS5 and Xbox sales when they finally have to buy a console (for once).
Im sure Rockstar doesn't want another five M.
