    I hated him. No character development, same asshole from start to finish. Whenever I had to do Trevor missions I often walked away from the game for the day, resulting in taking many months to actually finish the kind of game I usually enjoy.

    Franklin was boring too, sterotype with no strong opinions on much - just went with the flow on everything. The only character I kind of enjoyed playing was Michael, and that’s because he was aware that he was a piece of shit and decided to try to change. His approach to mending his relationship with his family was terrible and often put them in riskier/worse situations, but hey it’s GTA it’s not meant to be entirely realistic.

    I remember being a lot more invested in GTA4 and thoroughly enjoyed that narrative, but maybe it’s rose tinted glasses?

    Loved him, in the context of GTA, it’s a violent satire of American life and he fits both that AND the players of GTA. I also liked saints row for that reason. When you just want to go be a menence both games give you the tools and framing to do so

    I’ve never engaged with the story in any GTA game. I just boot it up once in a moon, massacre as many cops as possible before they overwhelm me.
